[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tested at 160+ IQ as a kid and was put into a special magnet school and summer programs like CTY. I think the sweet spot for "professional success" is around 130. 150+ and you have lots of existential depression. It's hard to conform to mainstream society when you can't relate to 99 out of 100 people you interact with on a daily basis. Giftedness often manifests as boredom (and bad grades). Prior to my getting tested I had failed out of 2 schools because I was so bored I refused to do any work. That was a pretty typical background story for most of my peers in the magnet programs as well.[/quote] Jesus, Jan. Leave some existential depression for the left of us.[/quote]
