I'll add that being able to work well with others is usually what determines whether you can manifest your intelligence in a useful way.

Working well with others takes many forms: being able to inspire and lead are obvious ones; but also the ability to take constructive criticism from others and learn from their perspectives -- which can be hard to do when you perceive the other person to be less intelligent (and perceiving others to be less intelligent is a problem by itself).

Absolutely. Lots of really intelligent people seem to fall into the trap of being too individualist and selfish. (Ayn Rand!)

While some of them eventually shine really bright, most fail to achieve anything significant.
