It's interesting, I've known some "genius" level people who can't hold a conversation. They literally cannot communicate. They have no common sense, they are basket cases in general. It's actually scary since these people are so highly regarded and yet they are highly likely to hurt themselves because they haven't grasped the day-to-day common sense.
As stated above, I think that people skills can get you more places than intelligence alone.
