Honestly, I don't see it as much different though. I've known
  Mensa level people who had the emotional maturity of a 2 year
  old who didn't get the candy they wanted. Some people that make
  it through the education system at the higher levels are
  unfortunately emotionally crippled due to the extended childhood
  afforded to them by having parents keeping them in school for so
  many years.

  They leave the cradle of academia and go straight to their
  profession without the bumping around of awkward non-ivory tower
  life.

  I don't think that's the norm of course, but I've seen it.

  I believe emotional maturity is one of those nature/nurture
  questions. You have a certain degree of it that comes with you,
  and it's either fostered or inhibited due to experience. I don't
  believe there is a correlation between IQ and emotional
  maturity, but I could be mistaken.

  Anyway, let me get to James' posted rules; I promised I would
