If you are really a genius maybe you could clear up some of the unsolved mysteries surrounding Kip Litton's marathon times.
That would be a big help to this site!

based on your writing I bet you can never make a living out of your intelligence unless you pursue academia
Good luck, nerd

Since you're able to master SAT math (more or less = IQ test and GRE math), you should now be able to do real analysis, topology, etc., right?
I did, so there's no reason that she shouldn't be able to.
Tldr, genius.

Nice c*ck too? Pics? (You insipid solipsist.)
Since you are here, asking for advice, there was apparently a problem with scoring your tests.

He found out he has autism so yeah that makes sense.
What have you done with your life? I ask because a lot of gifted people don't do a lot in life.
What is your age, educational attainment (doctor, PhD, masters, etc), and the like?
By IQ I'm only about an 88-90 percentile but work hard sp I've accomplished a fair amount.
Well, your IQ has dropped by several points by reading letsrun.
My story is similar to yours. I always scored high on math and logic, but never realized that my scores really were so exceptional until I was in my 30s.
Several bits of advice.
Don't be a know-it-all or arrogant. Be humble about your knowledge and ability to retain info.
Have friends that will help balance you out.
Try to strengthen your weaknesses, such as reading and writing, which don't come quite as natural as the math and logic.
Continue to work hard to study and learn. To use a running analogy, if a guy is born with a high VO2max, it doesn't do him much good if he never trains. It's the combination of talent and training that results in excellence.
OP - I'm posting this even more anonymously than usual.
My scores are similar-ish. Specifics are irrelevant to this discussion. I haven't have an ASD test, but my emotional response to things is much lower than most people. An item I'm mentioning for curiosity's sake alone, my brother has a enourmous difference in some of his abilities (I knew my times tables in grade 1 because I heard my parents quizzing him a lot when he was in grade 5 and still hadn't learned them, but he scored 99% in first year calculus for what he says was a forgotten negative sign). Here are some things you might be interested in:
It was fairly obvious toward the end of my math degree that I was probably the most capable math student in most of my classes (not because I went to class, but because I didn't and usually still got the highest scores). I was NOT the most capable CS student in most of my CS classes, as there was another guy who was smarter than me. I went to a large, highly respected university.
I'm married and have two kids, and while my wife is smart (top graduate within her major of the same large, highly respected university), she's at least one standard deviation below me. My wife is often frustrated by my abnormal social behaviour; I say what I mean and I mean what I say. The difference between us is almost never an issue now, but occasionally it caused tension earlier in our relationship.
I went in a normal career.

I've always done really well in school and knew I was "smart," but I never thought I was a "genius." Part of that is because on standardized tests I always scored at about the 98th national percentile. What I didn't realize is that I scored at the 98th percentile because I have a mismatch in cognitive abilities, and the tests did not have a high enough ceiling to measure my strengths. What this meant is that I would score as high as possible in tests measuring math and quantitative reasoning, but then I would "only" score around the 90th percentile on verbal sections, so my composite score would put me at about the 98th percentile. I recently found out I'm on the autistic spectrum, and this sort of profile of strengths and weaknesses is apparently the norm with people like me. Upon being given several other tests by the psychologist, I found out that even though my verbal ability is now at about the 97% percentile (I've improved as an adult), my quantitative/logical/pattern abilities are much higher, as high as the typical person with an IQ of 150-160 (SD 15), so about the 99.99th percentile.
All of this definitely explains a lot about my life, pretty much every part of it. Like I say, I knew I was "smart," but I didn't really understand how different I was. I'm now kind of at a loss and thinking, "Now what?" If I'm around 1 out of 10,000 in certain abilities, should I change my career? How am I going to find a spouse? Do I have a duty to use my abilities for the betterment of society?
I'm sure I'll get flamed for this post, but I'm genuinely wondering if anyone has thoughts on the matter.
5k time?
I have a similar problem. I always knew I was "fast" (98% percentile), but I didn't realize that I have a mismatch in distance abilities. What this meant is that I would be off the charts on mid-length runs, but only 90% percentile on sprints and long runs.
This explains a lot about my life, especially the running part. So now what?

He was learning times tables in 5th grade?
Weird.
OP I would refrain from describing yourself as a genius based solely on an IQ test.
To me a genius is someone who has vision that far exceeds that of the normal person. They can be artists, scientists, wealthy, poor, passionate or unemotional.
Having a high IQ score means doesn't really make you a genius at anything other than puzzles on paper.
Genius is overrated.

Yes, do you want to confess to any bizarre sexual fetishes or fixations?
