To be clear, the condition you are referring to is thinking you're smarter than you are, right?

It just don’t happen.

You're not NEARLY as smart as you think you are and the "IQ test" you took was bullshit.
Dunning-Kruger Effect. Basically you're too dumb to know that you're dumb. Don't worry, you've come to the right place; You should fit in perfectly.
I fit this. I was always a slow test taker because of a learning disability when I was young, but I never requested extra time for school tests in elementary school or the ACT/SAT. I recall the IQ test being untimed so I could finish it, scored high, and was put in the gifted program. I was always a very good student, on the academic and math teams, academic contests, etc. I think because of my disability my brain thinks and processes information differently and in a good way (albeit slower).
knowing your IQ score is probably retarding you. (trigger warning: non-humble brag to follow) I scored in the ~150 range on IQ tests throught out school but was never told my scores until I was in high school. Once I found out my IQ score, I slowly began to expect thing to happen for me, rather than to be done by me. A high IQ score definitely comes with a sense of entitlement that does more harm than good. I did zero prep for SATs and scored fairly high, but probably a good 100 points below what I should have. Wake up, no one is going to send you a medal for having a high IQ. SAT score is probably more relevant for life success.
IQ is Horsepower, SAT is MPH.
Who cares if you have 1200 HP if you can't transfer that power to the wheels.

Being a slow thinker isn’t good. You shouldn’t be proud of it. There are tons of people out there who can do as well as you but faster.

Similar. 1200s SAt, 145+ stanford binet/wais... it does happen but frequently inexplicable
Fake news

MPH doesn't measure power transfer. Skis have zero horsepower and yet people go 100mph on them. Are skis smarter than a GPS guided self driving John Deere tractor?

You'd think someone with a "~150 range IQ" would know that.

Actually I consider it a blessing. Let’s say the normal way the brain thinks is A to B. Repetively that connection gets stronger and faster. Well my brain developed and compensated by going from A, to C, to B. Because it goes to C, a part of the brain not everyone can go to, I have like a 6th sense of genius. It’s paid off in a big way throughout life.

I think most people will understand the analogy as intended. I don't give 2 sh*ts if you do or don't. You're right, MPH doesn't measure power transfer. In your example, the skis are Forrest Gump. You can probably figure out the rest.

Yea we got it. We also saw someone trying to be too clever by half and looking like an idiot after they preposterously claimed a 150 IQ.
And actually I don't understand the Forrest Gump thing. The skis are Forrest Gump? Who's using them, me? And I'm super fast? Where does the tractor fit?

ok maybe I was wrong and you can't figure it out. If the analogy made sense to you, then how exactly was I looking like an idiot?
An untimed IQ test proves very little as the entire point is about the facility to solve abstract problems under time pressure. Given no time limit most people would score far higher than they would under the designed limit.

I don’t think other people just being able to figure out what you say indicates genius. We can understand gibberish from toddlers, but we aren’t putting them in Mensa.

This. Most IQ tests are poorly administered by people who don't know what they're doing.
A better analogy is that IQ scores are cross country times and SATs are track times. If you run a 15:45 at some rando meet in the fall and a 10:15 in the spring, it's safe to assume you're not a 15:45 5K guy.
