…the difference between you & the OP is vast…my guess would be a 20-25 point IQ difference. The OP may be overestinmating “how smart he is”…but you are underestimating how bright you are. What people don’t get is that most of the top students have IQ’s around 130. However there are the select few that are in the 150 range. This is a whole other level of “smart”…these students sometimes have difficulty with empathy in regards to those not in that range… granted I’ve worked in fairly rural school districts for my 25 years as a School Psychologist so I’ve had few kids with the 150 IQ’s but those that we’ve had stick out like a sore thumb.
