Must admit, I was once curious and took a proper IQ test, the type you pay for. I think it was a Mensa one. I sat it at a room in UCL.
I got a "top 8%" score, so not bad but not the Mensa 2%. Pleased enough anyway. I think it translates to something like 121 IQ, where 130 is the Mensa level.
As far as intelligence goes, honestly I've always known I'm not daft. People tend to tell me "you're clever" too, which is nice but it's kind of like saying, "Wow you have a strong thigh bone!" - not a very practical trait in the wider world.
It also means I'm an overly idealistic lefty who wants society to be perfectly logical without any stupid people getting in the way. But that makes me the stupid one. So having/using/wanting intelligence all gets a bit pointless in the end.
Generally I'd say the three most important traits are: Intelligence, Social Skills, Experience. The first two are innate things which you can't hugely change without conscious uncomfortable effort. The third is open to anyone who puts the time in.
The times I think intelligence alone may be useful is in analysis, predictions and abstract ideas. I find I'm quite good at this. Hasn't made any improvement to my quality of life though.
What I find more interesting is how it's a bit taboo to talk about this. It's okay for someone to say they're a cut above the rest when it comes to sports or acting or something, but when it comes to nerdy abstract book-smart intelligence, it seems like everyone wants to get competitive, offended or demand silence on the topic because nobody wants to feel like the stupid one. |

I'm the stupid one.
There you go, you can talk about it all you want now, and if anyone challenges your intelligence, you can point to me
I don't worry about it. I am what I am, and just have to make the best of it. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
