'High intelligence: A risk factor for psychological and physiological overexcitabilities'
by
R.I. Karpinski et Al,. (2018)
Abstract includes...
'High intelligence is touted as being predictive of positive outcomes including educational success and income level. However, little is known about the difficulties experienced among this population. Specifically, those with a high intellectual capacity (hyper brain) possess overexcitabilities in various domains that may predispose them to certain psychological disorders as well as physiological conditions involving elevated sensory, and altered immune and inflammatory responses (hyper body).'
Conclusion...
'Tsien (2016) defines intelligence as, “the ability to self-discover knowledge and patterns from a world full of uncertainties and infinite possibilities,” whose mission it is to “solve various problems in their natural and social environments in order to survive and thrive” (p. 2).
The highly intelligent individual has a remarkable capacity for seeing and internalizing these vast uncertainties, possibilities, and problems.
This gift can either be a catalyst for empowerment and self-actualization
or it can be a predictor of dysregulation and debilitation as the present results suggest. If these individuals take in their world in such an over-excitable manner intellectually (hyper brain), then the potential exists for an intense level of physiological processing as well (hyper body).
The hyper brain/hyper body theory is new and as such a number of studies will need to be carried out to better understand its strengths and limitations. Understanding the relationship between high intelligence and illness could have a significant personal and societal impact. In this study, we have presented a plausible, highly testable, theoretical framework that
hopes to serve as a springboard for future experimental designs across disciplines. We have provided evidence to demonstrate that those with high intelligence are at significantly greater risk for the examined psychological disorders and physiological diseases; however, more work needs to be done to demonstrate causation. With the recent advancement of the study of
intelligence using neuroimaging techniques and full-scale attempts to map the genome combined with the newer research being conducted to better understand psychoneuroimmunological processes, it is possible that we will
continue to see vital growth of our understanding in this understudied area.
Intelligence research most often focuses on the flashes of lightning seen in this rare population, however in order to serve this group of individuals fully, we must not neglect to acknowledge the rumbles of thunder that follow in the wake of their brilliance.'
