I think the hardest truth I've had to face is my IQ, now I didn't take an official test but I usually get a score of 115-130, which is not bad but for someone who's whole self esteem is based on being smart it's really a hard pill to swallow.,(reply>), @K T I don't know if these guys exist but if they actually do they're a small minority, also why is that a bad thing let th ponder and solve problems for us,(reply>), @Archer im talking about the guys that cant feed themselves and need a nurse because they forget to drink water or sleep when pondering a particularly intersting problem...,(reply>), @K T you just described me I do have depression and I'm not very functional, I'm very low in conscientiousness and high in neuroticism. We don't really choose those things,  the only choice is taking responsibility and making do with what we've been given.,(reply>), Be happy you are still in the "functioning" range. Above 130 the likelyhood of social deficits, depression or other detrimental issues are expinentially higher. Its actually quite sad how many geniuses with absurdly high iqs arent really compatible with normal society and often cant even hold a job left alone have a fulfilling life in a society populated by humans that to them are as dumb as a dog would be compared to an average person.
