Go to gifted schools and you know the majority of them are there for their parents and have little to no interest in the subjects or just have any interests at all. That's why they have no qualms about cheating on tests and hating people who do actual work. You could still count that as having ambitions and life goals. But for whom? Also kids with above intelligence also often have advanced social awareness and use it to their advantage. Generally it means denying natural but uncool urges, and masquerading their performative kindness and empathy or whatever that's hip presently.
