Honestly I think IQ scores are ridiculous.
I do have a much higher than average IQ (170+) which is overly inflated due to having a near eidetic memory which inflates my score quite a bit.
So lets look at what this does for me.
I am good at puzzles.
I am good at solving problems.
I can grasp concepts far quicker than your average person.
That's about it.
How does this hurt me.
I get lazy.
I get bored easily.
I am very apathetic to learning through traditional means.
Does that make me smart? Not really I know people with far lower IQ scores who I consider far more intelligent then myself.
I look at it like this a high IQ means you have a fast processor. That's it if you have nothing on your hard-drive(knowledge) and no programs(formulas) then what good does it do you.
I have to say not much.
So when it comes down to it IQ is just something morons brag about, Otherwise, its useless if you don't do anything with it.
You can also note that my grammar sucks and my spelling is atrocious. However, I can solve a Sudoku like no body's business.
