Hi Thomas – I would tend to agree with what you said. Much better to "put on those shades" and hide our intelligence. Better to mix among others that way.

Being smarter than others might be a curse, but if you're smart enough it can be a true blessing.

I can relate to the above comment written by Vincent, except I feel that I am lucky to have such an insight into reality. Let's not close our eyes, let's just put on a pair of shades and let the common man go his way whilst you make use of your intelligence in a way benificiary for your own happiness.

Hi Vincent – I understand your thoughts, and wish you good luck. 171 is a high IQ (BTW, IQ does not change with age), and you should really try to do something with your intelligence.

I’m hesitant to write this comment because whenever I speak of my intelligence I feel as if I’m bragging, but seeing as so many others have spoken on how much of a curse being smarter than average is I thought I’d share my thoughts. I’ve been screened a few times by my school for the fact that I have almost no sympathy and a lot of trouble empathizing with people. Numerically for my age level (I am 16) my IQ score was 171, I won’t be one if those people that overly excels or ends up in college next year mainly because I’m lazy as hell. My main problem is that I find myself correcting teachers, and they dislike that, as well as I notice all the flaws in human morals and ethics amd I’ve grown to have a deep contempt for our species, wish I coud be born again and close my eyes.

Hi chasdv – Just reading your comments on my various blogs (yes, I have a lot!) confirms to me that you are an intelligent person. Your description of yourself and your thirst for knowledge sounds familiar to me, because that is how I am too.

Hi Bob,First time ive looked at this site,you have so many lol.
Interesting subject,i’ve always been told i’m smarter than the average bear lol.I must admit i probably am, although i’ve never taken an IQ test.I have always had an insatiable thirst for knowledge since childhood,i have to know.
I can be sceptical of many things and have to find out for myself,do my homework etc.I find many people just cannot be bothered,but i enjoy finding out.Im still pretty much a novice with pc’s but taught myself and bought a manual to find out,then experiment.Maybe be its a gift some of us are born with,regards Chas.
