Psychology of Achievement and its social limits
Walter B. Pitkin lists ten traits of highly intelligent people and argues that lack of social interest often aids true achievement. He notes curiosity, investigation, analysis, imagination, steady performance, dominant-focus concentration, selective memory, patience with important details, preference for reflection over people handling, and modest self view. The book challenges the belief that social activity always helps career progress.
