I got tested for IQ as a teenager with my classmates and was not told my score until much later.  I scored 149, which numerically means I am smarter than 99.945% people.  I have to say, it is very tough living among people who are mostly likely nowhere near my mental capacity, not because I feel superior to them, but I feel mentally taxed and drained because I have to constantly stop and wait for folks to catch up in comprehension -- the waiting wears me down so much I have to develop my own coping mechanisms, eg. planning other activities or playing a mental game purely in my head while holding a low-intensity, aka boring, conversation.  It is a total relief when I have the pleasure of interacting with people who can hold down a conversation semi-decently so I am not mentally racing laps and spontaneously inducing an anxiety attack unto myself.,(reply>), ​@YummyFoodOnlyPlz Childless geniuses and philoprogenitive dolts prevail. I hope genetic engineering can ameliorate this.<br><br>I recommend reading books, though, for stimulation.,(reply>), @88 dng 😂.  On a certain level, you are not wrong though.  Reproducing is one thing that is close to certainty that I can train my own children to think at similar capacity and hence create an intellectual circle of my own that I am most comfortable at to hang out in all the time.  😂😂,(reply>), Reproduce,(reply>), @Omar95 another interesting thing is, I have got mocked by everyday people over many occasions who are clearly lower in g factor than me for only scoring 149 instead of something much higher.  The thing is, anybody who actually understands the test design mechanisms and the laws of statistics would easily understand that at a level where a person who is a total statistical outlier, ie. multiple standard deviations (SD) away from the mean, the validity of the test itself likely breaks down, which means there is no easy and certain way to distinguish a person with 3 SD away (highly gifted) vs. a person with 5 SD away (profoundly gifted).  It's all just luck at the outcome of scoring depending on the specific design limit of the test conducted that day and how that specific individual feels that day, eg. lack of sleep the day prior, etc.,(reply>), @Omar95 yes, I work in mathematics and theoretical physics and I have not found any other circle of profession that offers the mental excitement to the same level.  I tried to hang out with rich business owners (highly successful people by conventional definition), still too low of a mental stimulation for me tbh. But still, there is a significant part of my life where I need to interact with everyday folks that I can never avoid completely.
