Intelligence and Emotions

Here's a shitty thing: someone is highly intelligent, but also has a hard time showing it.  Like, for instance, that he or she cannot communicate in front of more than one person effectively, or cannot find around nerves when presenting a subject to a group of people (or a boss), such that the person, however extremely talented in the substantive area of endeavor, is ineffective at becoming more specialized in that field, and perpetually unhappy or dissatisfied.

Should we require that all people conform to basic norms of behavior in order to exhibit their skill-set, however undeveloped it may be because of lack of interaction?

Is the question precisely backward?
