I scored 135.....I took some psychologist administered tests as a senior in high school and scored nearly 150. I remember the guy telling me I would have qualified as genius 50 years earlier...lol...big help right?
I know IQ slips with age...the synapses just get a bit more elastic with time and whatnot.
But, experience and wisdom more than compensate...as does knowledge.
There are a lot of folks somewhat slower who are very successful because they have will, determination and character and maybe a bit of luck.
I always did ok on standardized tests...I was so lazy...that's all that got me in school.
Oh well, it's fun but it's sort of like just measuring horsepower on a car....so many other factors make up the whole package.

I always did ok on standardized tests...I was so lazy...that's all that got me in school. Same here. ...That's my story in a nutshell, in fact. My HS GPA was downright embarrassing (just a tad too much partying), but my SAT scores got me into UCLA.

No doubt. ...And conversely, a lot of "geniuses" who haven't done a damn thing with their lives.
Unfortunately, our society venerates pure intelligence and youth over character.
