I happen to attend a linguistics camp this summer, and I daresay it is important to note that my closest friends from that camp, are all exceptionally brilliant people. I think the general trend was; intelligent people would stick together, because they can intellectually stimulate each other with philosophy, and non-stupid, non-banal thoughts.

Of the four people, there is one girl who is attending arts at UofT (top school in Canada), the other does not know what she wants to study, but is studying a wide variety of subjects, and the third could easily attend Yale University if she wanted to. And myself, I am interested in medecine, so I can base my thesis on the correlation in diseases and the advancement of evolutionnary biology, for a Ph.D.

There was no common interest between the group, and we all had very different perspective on religion, life philosophy as well as many other subjects, but the one thing that remained consistent was how open to other ideologies we had.

We all had different religious beliefs, Catholic, Dieist, Agnostic, Atheist.
And we all thought of different discoveries of life, and what is within life.

I miss them very much, because I felt a strong connection with them, one that I do not have with my friends at home.

And to answer your question on how do we think.

We did not. It simply came to us, we are dreamers, wonderers, philosophers, people with no great ambition, who strive intellectually effortlessly.

To imply that people who are intelligent think differently than you is complete nonsense. They just think more. They spend more time on things that are interesting to them, always attempting to gain knowledge on a subject that they are comfortable with. They are not erronated, they are not weird. They can simply analyze things in a better way than the average person can.

The true question is, how do people with low IQ think?
Because people with low IQ do not see themselves in 5 years, and are often mislead by society and are offended by its stigmas.

Now just to give you an indication of my IQ, I am not born english, and have not studied english until I was 15 years old. (I am now 18)
