    I actually do have a high IQ, around 120. I was tested as part of my ADHD diagnosis.

    All it’s good for is knowing that I don’t know shit.

      120 is the minimum for above average. I wouldn’t consider it “high”. (Not ragging just being honest, I’m also in the 120’s)

        Well the average is normed to 100. So 120 is not the minimum for above average. The top 9% of population would be above 115iq.

        While high IQ is more of a diagnosis than anything, the statistics are real. I don’t know why you don’t want to consider top 9% as “high”.

        What is high in your opinion?

      See, this is the thing about being smart. You’re intelligent enough to realise that there’s a lot of shit you don’t know.

      When you’re thick you just believe any old bollocks you read…
