Are smarter people less or more weird?

I wouldn't say there's any correlation. Sure, there are some smart people who don't conform to social norms, but there are just as many "simple" people who don't also.

What do you mean by smart

I don’t agree with this because you can be “unique” but not “weird” by definition. Being unique actually is a consequence of high in extraversion and high in intellect. “Unique” additionally is almost always used positively

ye I don't think theres a correlation either. I don't see most famous scientists as being 'weird'.

High in intellect or at least a high nerve conductance velocity.

Right.... what does any of this have to do with anything I said? Also, to be unique means to be different, that can be in either the good or the bad sense.

Yeah what does that mean, give me an example

No there’s no correlation, I’ve seen poeple who are intelligent and quite socially inept and then I’ve met people who are intelligent and are social butterflies, no correlation, you can’t generalise all smart people into one category, honestly, where’s the common sense anymore, if you’re looking to categorise yourself I’d say you’re not intelligent, happy?

The correlation coefficient between high level in openness and high level in extraversion is about .4 which is 16% of the variance so it’s a better solid model that smarter people are less weird as this would suggest that their cognition make them socially more competent as clearly you’re using your brain while socialising and we’re fundamentally social animals

You can’t generalise an entire group of smart people and organise them into one specific category, we are all unique, a smart person could be slightly less socially capable just as a smart person could be brimming socially, if you’re going to ask and answer your own questions what do you need me for? You ask is there a correlation and then tell me there is, I would like to see the actual science behind your claims.

I’ve read some studies that says that smarter people are more likely to notice divergences in social norms because, well they are more cognitively alert, but at the same time I see people who are smart intellectually but who don’t abide by the social norms such as they way they socialise or the way they dress etc? Is this conversely because smart people are motivated by social interactions? So are the people who are more well versed in their social interactions smart and socially inclined or people who are just attentive and are willing to fine tune their body languages?
