I've done some recruiting for my company, and in general we'd stay away from a person like that. We want the person that gets 90-95% while participating in other activities and having a life. Shows they are personable, can manage time, and multitask. A lot of people like someone this article is about have no personal skills, cannot accept criticism, cannot work with others, and would waste a serious amount of company time/resources to feed their need for perfection.

I'm not saying this girl fits this mole, just in general I've noticed that to be the case and companies want the more rounded individual 10 times out of 10.

Most people with the level of IQ this girl probably has (through the roof) end up in the academia world anyways. They are just wired different than most, and don't fit in industries. Probably better off for the rest of us, because I would assume most of the scientific breakthroughs come from people like this girl.
