It would be quite fascinating to see the other side of this coin, what people with 130+, 140+ and 150+ IQs can routinely manage. Not just being able to cognitively process things faster with better memory, but these discreet jumps with new abilities being unlocked. Presumably they gain these higher skills at the same rate that skills like empathy, forecasting and extrapolation are lost as IQs are lowered.
What can they do? Rainman type stuff where they can count how many flowers are in a field at just a glance, eidetic memories, more? Humanity needs these people!
I don't think IQ gives photographic memory. High IQ seems to me like it gives a lot more bandwidth for complex logic and analysis. And they can do it faster
