Is it normal that i have a gifted iq but am not that smart

My iq is 142 to 144, but I don't excel at anything. I'm horrible with simple math, can't draw, I forget everything, etc. Why is this? Could I have something that clouds my ability to use my brain in a functional way other than just on paper? Thx for any mature responses!

    I have a high IQ but I totally lack any form of creativity. Take maths for example, when I get something new I first have a dopamine rush from understanding something new but it is followed by a very sad feeling that I would have never come up with it myself.

    Im up in the 130s and I am infamous for being a huge brute, especially when I'm hungry, but I do surpass those who are considered smarter than me whenever I am determined to do so, but im too lazy to do so

    It's possible your intelligence isn't synced or on par with your commonsense or wisdom. Give it a few years. Read, eat healthy. You'll be fine
