[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am academically smart, very high IQ tests (161), and work my ass off.  When I want to work primarily for money, I have historically made $1-1.4 million annually.  When I’ve chosen to work primarily for the mission of an organization, I make about $300,000, equally working my ass off.  I have never, never, had a supervisor/boss anything other than thrilled I work on their teams, and honestly I’ve rarely had a “boss”.  My sister has been half-joking that I’ll have a “reality check” when I have to go out into the “real world”.  Turns out that, no, my “world”, which is really just one world with people having different experiences/needs/responsibilities, there’s no comeuppance that she in actuality seems to have been looking forward to.  PP, you sound a lot like my sister.  Wishing people I’ll or a reality check because they are unusually skilled or gifted on a particular area. [/quote]

I had an IQ measured at 146 (school-ordered assessment, not something my family paid for).  I'm in academia so my paycheck isn't astronomically high, although like you, everywhere I've worked (both in academia and industry), the team has been happy to have me.  I don't have any significant experience with oppressive management.

I do have plenty of experience hearing about "social skills" and "reality checks" from people who'd prefer to think that achievement and academic effort shouldn't matter.[/quote]
