[QUOTE=ScientiaOmnisEst;4801565]Okay, a few things now that my mind is winding down.

I supposedly tested as gifted as a child, but I never acted gifted. I had a psychologist suggest once that this was due to an attention disorder that went undiagnosed, but I don't know about that. There weren't any gifted programs where I lived, though I did get accepted to a magnet school when I was about to start high school (my mom and I decided against it because the commute would have been ridiculous). Yet for all this I did awful on the SAT, especially math.

I was in gifted in elementary school and got suspended from gifted because I wrote this funny, creative thing while I was in a math class where I didn't understand one thing that was being taught. I also think I have ADD that was never diagnosed. I have hardly ever finished anything. I jump into things, make a big accomplishment, get bored quickly and move on. I've actually done pretty well for myself. I was smart enough to succeed at what was important.

I would be afraid to take an IQ test today. They say you always keep the same IQ, but I'm scared I haven't learned what I should know and I've burned out a lot of brain cells!
