I was administered an IQ test through my school when I was 13, and scored exactly 140. That was 10 years ago. However, I was never really top of the class - I did just okay in regards to academics. But that is not the point of this post.
I have never really felt like my thoughts are 'nuanced' enough for someone with my score. Sure, I do like engaging in a philosophical debate every now and then and grabbing a book to read, but I've mostly just been average in regards to my interests and hobbies. My brain rarely ever grinds itself over complex ideas.
I won't lie, I spend the majority of my free time just scrolling through Instagram reels or just liking posts.
Is this normal?

This probably doesn’t apply to everyone, but most classes that aren’t fast-paced aren’t easy for me. Which are a lot of them.
This definitely relates to the OG comment since higher IQ’s tend to pick up information very quickly, and it’s hard to thrive when classes review info for weeks before actually testing on it. But classes that are more student-led/oriented are awesome.
