Is it normal that I sometimes hate how my mind works?

  • This problem affects me as well, everyday.
    Aside from IQ scores, I suggest you to take a look at Myers-Briggs personality type indicators, which are a very well recognized science.
    I, for example, discovered I was an INFJ, which is the rarest type of all, and that all the INFJs out there suffer problems like feeling like aliens among all the other people.
    It helped me a lot to know that there were people out there exactly like me, even if I never met them irl.

    • I think I took that at one point. I was pretty normal there- INFP.

      • Being the rarest accentuates it, but INFPs also have these problems, my girlfriend is INFP.
        Maybe it's stereotypical, but some think IQ is usually higher in 'N' types, because they can manage theoretical ideas better, while 'S' types are down-to-earth.
        It would probably help getting to know someone you can relate better to, to speak freely every now and then about all those things your usual friends wouldn't get, without discarding them away.

        Also, if you haven't seen it, there's a simpson episode about this problem, I found it very interesting. Episode id: HOMR.

        • Regarding the test- I actually did not fit properly into any of them, but this was closest, so I don't even know exactly.
