[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's sad how defensive people are. None of this is about bragging. I am someone who has not had a successful, easy life and I've often tried to figure out why. My only diagnosed "condition" is very high IQ, but I also have terrible anxiety, perfectionism and hypersensitivity. No one thought I needed any support or help as a child because I aced every test and got a perfect score on the SAT. It was assumed I would do great things and, well, I haven't at all. I'm genuinely looking for advice about how to uncouple these issues and do better with my own kids, one of whom has intense intellectual precocity. Also trying to understand what scores are likely to correlate with problems irl. [/quote] The metrics that we measure success by (degrees from prestigious institutions, prestigious careers at prestigious institutions, prestigious outputs, and wealth) require intelligence but after a certain point other characteristics/personality traits are more important than additional IQ points. That's what every study on this topic seems to suggest. [/quote]
