Thank you AboveAllOthers. I think that regardless of IQ results perhaps I can accomplish something, perhaps not be a member of Mensa, but nevertheless. All I want is to a meaningful contribution, by which people will recall who and what I am/was when I inevitably am deceased.

According to the last "official" IQ test I took, my IQ is similar to Newtons in it's style! (Did Newton really only have 124 - 130 IQ? And that was on my horrid day in the midst of negative symptoms. Newton at least had 180 I'm imagining.)

These standardized tests have never really been my thing. For instance, the WASL, I consecutively fail due to the insistence on it. Personally, it shouldn't be any assessment of learning.

As far as the mathematics goes, I would be quite ahead, but unfortunately as detailed in an earlier post I essentially was absent the entirety of seventh grade due to my illness.

If nothing else, I'll settle for the meager title of writer with philosophical overtones. Though I would much prefer to be known for something ELSE. Besides, my writing is insipid, trite, mundane and absolutely repulsive, yet everyone claims I am amazing with words. Nonsensical, sure. Untrue, sure. Would I settle for it? Perhaps. After all Jack Kerouac and Antonin Artaud were schizophrenic writers that accomplished much. Yet, to compare myself to either of them is absurd and arrogant on so many levels.

Whatever the case, hopefully I can do something well and be renowned. Otherwise, there may be no point with living and being 'intelligent'.
