>>24545842 (OP)I have a school friend who tested as very high genius level IQ when he was a kid. I don't recall the number, but it was something like 156. Flawed test/lucky guesses? Who knows.
Anyway, although he was kinda doomed from the start, that IQ test went to his head and definitely didn't help. He put it in all his social media bios, then barely graduated highschool even in those "workforce prep" or whatever courses that are basically Special Ed. Then, he spent about five years at community college taking pointless classes for no reason while working obviously genius-level jobs like Fast Food Cook and Janitor's Assistant (unpaid but free parking/meals, or something.)
Today he works his dream job in a greasy sales position (he's bad at sales), making maybe enough money to buy new socks every few years while paying rent in the 1bed apartment he shares with 2 other guys. No homo, they just put up office dividers all over it to make 3 tiny bedrooms without doors. It's hoarder levels of filthy in there.
My point is, IQ is retarded and even if it's accidentally accurate in your case, knowing you're "smart" on some semi-relevant scale (likely created by the same people who made the food pyramid that says you should just eat bread all day) is like a hot girl who knows she's hot. She just acts like a retard and makes herself everyone else's problem, before poor life choices catch up to her and take away the very thing that enabled them.
There was dog shit on my friend's floor when I visited once, and he doesn't own a dog. I didn't ask how it got there, or why it was never removed.
