         I think it definetely depends on the personality, specifically, the 
manner and degree to which the intelligence is used. Arrogant intelligent 
people use their intelligence as an excuse for their arrogance which, 
generally, only hurts themselves by causing alienation. Unless, you're really 
critically intelligent in which case you might question the whole purpose of 
the thing, and since nobody else understands what you're thinking you feel 
alienated. 
    As for myself, I have a bunch of friends with generally the same high 
level of intelligence, and varying degrees of criticalness, but we go to the 
same school and have the same friends, so I suppose that keeps us together.

  i disagree craig
 most people i've encountered resent me or simply alienate me if i'm more 
 intelligent (none of these are my friends, of course)
