I don't want an echo chamber, as much as it would be reassuring, but I want to ask what relevance you guys know of IQ? I only got 123 (or to add some actual context, 92-93rd percentile)
got my IQ score back from the Mensa testing. I've always been known as a smart guy and people 'regularly' point out I'm smart.
I got a gold award on the maths challenge, and over 90 UMS + on my maths and further maths average at AS, and I got 10 A*s at GCSE. I'm told my stories that I write are impressive, and the speeches / arguments I give are always clear and powerful.
Yet I have dispraxia, elements of dyslexia (though tbf not enough to be "diagnosed" with dyslexia) and awaiting diagnosis on Aspergers. I don't know if they might have any bearing.
I'm feeling awful just thinking there is no way I can ever achieve anything that well anymore and that my "achievements" might well just be luck or 'easy' questions that somehow suit someone who is unintelligent?
