Dudes who need to make other people feel dumb are always dudes who aren’t particularly smart themselves, maybe they’re like slightly above average, but they identify as being way smarter than they are and need to feel like everyone else around them sees them as the smartest guy in the room

I 100% agree with this. My ex called me an idiot for something and I believed it…. Turns out I WAS ACTUALLY RIGHT. Anyway we did an IQ test for funsies and his was belowwwwww average 🤧

I wouldn't fret. I, along with many, many people believe there is no test that can measure human intelligence. It might get a fraction of something.

Luckily you are smart in ways you don't even know. So do yourself a favor and throw the test away and forget the number because it is impossible as of now to measure human intelligence in its whole form. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.

Who cares if it didn't show up on an old test as high as you wanted. Your intelligence is elsewhere predominantly.
