Have you ever gotten an IQ test?


Yes, my mom has never told me the score, but it led to me being put in gifted classes. I took the SAT at 12 and did well enough to make JHU CTY's SET program.

So in terms of raw brainpower it's there, but I've never really been able to apply it consistently for whatever reason and have ended up very average. Still haven't really come to terms with that in my late 20s.

I've got a perfectly good life but I have this vague "what if" about if I had applied myself more.


Supposedly having over 125 (130-ish) can affect "normal functioning", it's very counterintuitive, but I'd recommend to just go through common psychology checks for that case.
