I'm not ashamed of my IQ, but I'm also not the kind to go around bragging about it and pushing it in other people's faces, so because it doesn't make me a bad person I don't have any reason to feel ashamed. I'm not "book smart" in the least, so it's easy for me to hide the fact that I have a higher than average IQ. I'm also not way way up there, just above average.
The only time I wanted to throw it in someone's face was a "rival" in high school who was super book smart and was always bragging about her IQ (it was either 115 or 118, I can't remember now). I so badly wanted to tell her that I'm smarter than her despite how I failed at school because I hated it, but because I did fail at school I knew it wouldn't have much weight and I didn't have any way to prove it otherwise because I didn't carry around a paper or something like a twat to prove I'm smart.
