General - What's your IQ - View Post

What's important to note is that Intellegence as measured by IQ tests doesn't = Being Smart.

IQ tests = your ability to learn things quickly

All a high IQ means is that it's easier for you to learn stuff, not that you are smarter.

In essense, you can be lazier and learn things easier.  Which if you fall into the "high middleground" area for IQ can actually be bad, because you don't develop needed study habits for when you get to your college level stuff.

It's not so much a thing that you should feel proud about, but really, just pressure.  Cause if you don't succeed it's your own damn fault.


Isn't that what being smart is?
