Commonophobia is a proposed medical condition where one develops an aversion to seeing commonalities among diverse people and things. The document asserts that failing to see commonness is a sign of intellectual impairment as normal intelligence seeks commonness to understand the world, turn unfamiliar things familiar, correlate observations, construct wholes from parts, and identify identities. It claims that failing to see commonness results in intellectual dysfunction and that commonophobics believe seeing commonness will make them less special intellectually or that everything is new to the world.
