In that small subset of questions, high IQ will be a liability.

I can't imagine a high IQ being a liability in practical terms. Maybe an absurd hypothetical like "in order to get the question right, you must fail to understand it," but in the real world - high IQ a liability?

It doesn't have to be that esoteric. How bout "Read the following IQ question. Now tell me if those who have IQs between 90-100 are more than 50% to get it right"

But even those questions are not slam dunks, I will admit. In fact I think I'd do better at them then a 95 IQ would.
