Superior IQs associated with mental and physical disorders, research suggests
I went through a battery of IQ tests as a kid and got a _high_ score (139). But that was when I was seven years old. I&#x27;m 30 now, have a master&#x27;s degree (which was pretty pointless) and make 25 bucks an hour as a temp (more money than I&#x27;ve ever made in my life). I think my life and prospects have dimmed because I haven&#x27;t been able to get over the anxiety and the depression that impact me every day. Interviewed for jobs for 14 months and didn&#x27;t get a single offer. Haven&#x27;t had a girlfriend in 3 years, lazy as shit, can&#x27;t even look at myself in the mirror. Anyway, what I&#x27;m trying to say is IQ is bullshit, and discipline, social skills, and connections are priceless.<p>But we grew up in the world told we could do anything we wanted! I think it&#x27;s that sort of expectation that is screwing with us (at least those of us that didn&#x27;t become comfy SWEs).
