If you take people of average smartness.

And they talk to each other.

And by talking to each other they combine their minds.

Is that combined mind/person smarter?

I've had some coworkers where working with them was like working alone, but harder

Holy shit, these type of people are the worst. My narcissistic mother is like this. Constantly asking for guidance for literally everything "grab me half a bulb of garlic" "how much is half?". Then afterwards blaming you for giving her such a complicated task, and goes on and on about how the way you work is sooooo backwards, and that if she just did everything herself it'd be sooooo much simpler (she says as the dissects the garlic clove by clove, weighing each one as she gets the closest possible value to half the total weight).
