My sister was tested with an IQ of 136. She’s a biology major and a left-wing activist, she goes to demos and cares strongly about social causes and politics.
My dad is an electrical engineer, and visited an elite university near Nuremberg. He’s extremely driven and performative, he doesn’t understand laziness and has a deep dislike for people who don’t work.
They look down on anyone they think isn’t smart enough.
They’re both unbearable to be around.
My IQ is probably significantly lower than theirs, likely because I was an extremely low-birth-weight baby who barely survived and then spent over a decade chronically sleep-deprived and depressed.
As a child, I tested at 116, but with average scores on most subtests but high results in processing speed, picture arrangement, arithmetic, and some unusal memory task, which pulled the overall score upward.
Since then, my cognitive functioning has declined massively, and my ADHD seems to worsen each year. I also used to have sleep apnea for years, which irreversibly damages your brain.
