You're able to figure out just how stupid you really are in the overall scheme of things much quicker than other more obtuse beings.

You're more prone to depression (the less smart can get themselves to believe in fantasies). I've heard that you're also likely to commit suicide... Well, high IQ doesn't directly mean that you're more rational, after all.

You're likely to win strategy games and other things, when you do win them, with decisive advantages (after the middle of a monopoly game, I can buy properties from their owners at easily 3 times the price and still win, though I do it for much cheaper).

Also, you can have more free time relating to studies (minus homework - that's a rather senseless construct).

"Having a high IQ" I think is not measurable, all those IQ tests in my opinion, can be aced with practice, by anyone willing to do so. So I really don't know how to tell whether a person has a high IQ, but however being smart is a problem, in my opinion, looking at it rationally, people tend to think about stuff others wouldn't even have cared to think about.. and the more people think the more they tend to question emotions and purpose of existence and stuff like that, leading them to depression, if not succeeding to find what the are looking for, as their source of dopamine is thinking.
