Personality test

[PenguinJoe]

The only IQ test I remember taking was in 6th grade. I scored 168 at that time.

One thing to remember about IQs is that they measure not what you know, but how quickly you can adapt, learn and retain what you learned. When you are young (earlier than, say 18 years old), your IQ is significantly higher than it is later on in life. A toddler's IQ is approaching 200 compared to the average intelligence of an adult. When you consider what they have to learn in an extremely short period of time (i.e. how to walk, talk, understand their birth language, how to push their parents buttons...) it is not such a stretch to realize just how intelligent they are.

Interesting! I didn't know that. But one more thing must be said about IQ. It's just a test that measures one particular "skill" of our brain. That's why it does not help much in life. Nice when you have higher IQ, then you can discover it earlier lol
Kids may have high IQ, but their emotional intelligence and empathy are close to zero, not to mention their ability to survive is also close to zero . That might only mean they use the centres that are measured by IQ test more actively.

Scientific research frequently have some catch or some flaw and they usually measure just 1 out of infinite number of parameters. For example, we all learned at school that we use only a small fraction of our brain.
For me, it never made sense. What is logical is that we simply use what we need. In reality we have and use 100% but at different times. Different centres, organs or muscles are engaged when you run or when you play games or eat. Don't laugh, but I feel we all have perfect combination of intelligence and skills.
Look at this game! When all ppl are OP, game becomes more hostile and boring. The same is with people and their intelligence. I do what I know best and what makes me happy and ask for help those who know and understand what I can't.

Anyway, it does not make sense that we're born OP and then gradually our power is diminishing. On the contrary.
But also, if you feel you don't want to grow, you can also survive with some handy theory or label
