Some IQ advantage tends to help in these situations, but more isn't always better.
In other words, you're likely to do better if you're a little better than average (e.g. 1 SD or 115).
On the other hand, if you're one of those bizarro 180 IQ outliers who can't connect socially and emotionally (to say nothing of intellectually) with average people, you aren't likely to be able to be successful in a way that incorporates and leverages the contributions of other people.
