I have a very high IQ and really it means shit.
At school I was put forward a year and then 3 years then dropped back to my age year, then they decided it was just cos I was a lil cunt so they tried disciplining me with strap, 9 times in one day once! Then they made me work in the head masters office for months.
The thing was when I was in the head masters office I excelled, as soon as I went back to class, I slipped again. Some classes I did very well in, others I just flopped.
At the age of 40, I went for a full midlife medical.
The report shocked everyone myself the most, then everyone went.. oh yeah that explains it.
Eye astigmatism, I had never really seen the blackboard, and... 60% tone deaf, they were amazed how I had gotten thru life being so deaf and no one ever noticing.
Once I knew that everything made sense, classes I did bad in I sat at the back, or the teacher had a beard, or women with high pitch voices. Classes I sat in the front.. I did well
Why's Baldy such a technohead.. only music I can hear, why do I hate pubs but a night club regular.. everyone shouts. And why I have done so well with computers/internet, its the perfect self learning environment.
On the other hand my sister whose not so smart, has like 4 degrees and is a computer scientist, and she still can't work out how to turn a pc on I might add. But she's got the qualifications, slow and steady wins the race, she was a plodder and study hard person.
IQ is just your ability to learn it has no reflection on what you have learned.
