You are very correct in comparing Neal to a sheep herder. It is possible that he just has that effect on others causing them to follow his every word without much question or thought. It can also result from, what you said, his incredible intellect and childlike behavior that creates a very attractive glow which pulls his friends into his custody. However, when Mr. Shapiro told us of those people that can have very high IQ levels, I believe that those people are brilliant but cannot converse with others because they would not be able to relate since they are on a whole different level. In the case of Jack and Neal, Jack follows Neal around like a sheep, but I do not believe it is because Neal is smarter than Jack. On the contrary, I believe that Jack has a far superior intellect when compared to Neal but, I do believe that he follows Neal because, unlike Neal, Jack cannot relate to other people because he is, as I stated earlier, on a different level. So, if anyone fits the description that Mr. Shapiro gave us in that lecture, I do believe the person that fits in Jack because of his high level of intellect and his incapability to relate with other people.
