Ok so let’s take me as an example.
When I was younger I was taken to a fancy careers institution and given and iq test and other intelligence tests. The iq test results were disastrous and they said I had the intelligence of a .... person ( don’t want to say the words but let’s say it was very bad). The assessor said I wasn’t clever enough for university based on the test results. Now I have 12 o levels/ GCSEs and a 2:2 degree from Manchester university. I have written a book about getting into Oxford and have helped many in this site get in. I have won several community awards on tsr.
What I am saying, op, is that if I had let my iq score define me, I maybe would not have gone on to achieve all those things
You tell me you have a 32k a year job, ( I earn less than average) you own your own home and have a masters degree with distinction? I find that impressive, frankly.
If you don’t want to be more successful, it doesn’t matter. Nobody is judging you. I think you are doing just fine, but that is my humble opinion.
I know I will not get far professionally, but that is because I am shy and lack confidence, not because of my iq, which, to be honest, I had forgotten about until today.
I am only confident on tsr.
Much love to you, op.
