You need to find a job that uses your skills and avoids your deficiencies. A clerical job probably would not be it. Also, for someone like you, computing a full-scale IQ is misleading and not worthwhile. You do not have an average IQ, for any normal way of looking at IQ. You are very, very good at some things, and have serious deficiencies in others.

Have you thought of some kind of writing job? Tech writing, editing, tutoring writing, something like that? I know people who make money online by grading English essays.

It’s going to be harder for you to find a job, but when you find the right one, because of your superior verbal abilities, you’ll be superb at it.
