IQ tests don't mean anything without commensurate achievements. As I just commented to someone else, I got a scholarship to Oxford at the age of 17, which indicates an unusual level of intelligence. Again, I know this sounds shitty and like I'm bragging, the only reason I included my IQ test in the OP is because I try to take objective opinions above my own perceptions - the IQ test, my high achieving, and having a very good job is what leads me to believe I'm intelligent, it's not just my own opinions. That is all I was try to demonstrate and I wasn't trying to be arrogant (it's the internet, that would be pretty sad).
I really do think that high intelligence causes problems. At Oxford, almost everyone I met (and everyone I knew well) had social and developmental issues. I think it affects you because it makes you different, and that makes you strange. Even to other people in the same situation. High intelligence definitely doesn't translate to high social intelligence, and that affects your relationships.
I'm smart, pretty, weird, and I can't get a boyfriend
