Some problems with being a "genius":

Do you feel like you deliberately under-achieve (subconsciously) as you don't want to stand out?

Yeah, much like 90 percent of the Letsrun crowd, I am the spitting image of Will Hunting. We are identitical in all respects except my girlfriend is hotter than Minnie Driver.

Well, pretty much all worms are in the soil, so you're saying it's like being the smartest person anywhere?

No offense but the vast majority of worm species do NOT live in the soil.

Only on Letsrun - learn something new every day.

just throwin this in there, but there is no real correlation between test scores and IQ.

As it happens, this is false. There is certainly a correlation between most standardized, achievement/aptitude tests, and the various IQ exams.

It's not a *perfect* correlation--not +1.0--but there is certainly a (positive) correlation, and typically a pretty strong one.
