Sapiophiles are attracted to intelligence, but talent can occur independently of intelligence. Consider idiot savants for example.

Your other thread lead me to look at your previous work...
Do you know what "idiot savants" are known as by people who have a modicum of understanding rather than being entirely thoughless?
I'll give you a clue, it begins with an "a" and ends in "utistic"
But you dont need to concern yourself with them. After all they have no intelligence like you just stated.
See, other people's feelings. Try working on that perhaps. Or dont, and get all sore about it.
idiot savant
a mentally defective person with an exceptional skill or talent in a special field, as a highly developed ability to play music or to solve complex mathematical problems mentally at great speed.
