I think IQ tests are worthless anyway.
My IQ is about 70–80: almost intellectually disabled (I am serious).

I think IQ tests can have a lot of validity, but not for reliably measuring intelligence on their own. Much is just deception. Social trickery or inaptitude.

People tell me I'm intelligent. My psychiatrist always says it to introduce a "but..." (you are mental, let's ignore that you said). Never trust only appearances.

I do like to think I can be pretty wise. There is probably no test that can measure that, so I'm more safe in assuming.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
