Not with mine. My anecdotal evidence says that high IQ does NOT compensate for a variety of other deficiencies (from personal hygiene to self-confidence issues) but otherwise it’s very useful :-)
I think it’s more because of restriction-of-range effects (people who have both low IQ and said deficiencies are likely to be in their parents’ basements so we don’t usually see them, and people who have both are likely to be in places like DC so we don’t usually see them either) than because they actually correlate in the whole population.
Well, it certainly agrees with the anecdotal evidence.

In which case there’s still the issue that it seems to correlate with said deficiencies.

Well, autism causes both for starters.
What?
EDIT: Do you mean the technical meaning or the colloquial meaning? The former aren’t that smart in average...
Autism is a spectrum. Here I mean the ones whose social skills aren’t so ban its impossible to meaningfully interact with them.
EDIT: fixed typo.
And having social skills so bad it’s impossible to meaningfully interact with you causes high IQ? What?

A paper titled “High IQ is correlated with the inability to learn to use a shower” got to have a decent chance at getting an IgNobel X-)
