As per AlexU's comment, if they were achieving at the level of their intelligence, chances are they'd be surrounded by high-quality people in their professional and/or social lives already.
If you're not, and you need special groups like Mensa to find smart people, you're probably underachieving.
Hmm, I think I am surrounded by smart people in my professional and social life, but there's only a very few of them prepared to discuss the Big Things in depth; if joining would find people prepared to have proper discussions about the world, it would be a real temptation.
