Listen, judging from your posts alone I think you are of average intelligence at the very least. Its just that you have this very unhealthy obsessive thought that you are stupid. I don't know how - but you have to let it go. You can't let intrusive thoughts win.
There are people way stupider than you that run entire countries.

I'd like to thank you for the kind words. However, you don't know me personally, and I'd like to assure you that I'm very prone to having moments of complete and utter idiocy.

You can always invade Antarctica; you wouldn't have to overthrow too many people.

I have a lot of issues with IQ as a measurement of general intelligence, most of which are detailed in this well-researched YouTube video from one of my favorite content creators (which is mainly about how IQ scores have been used to promote eugenics):

Going to agree with Shirley here - fixating on IQ and finding ways to tear yourself down is a recipe for not liking yourself. The less you care about something that you can't control, the more you'll embrace the parts of yourself that you should love and cherish.

I speak from experience here. Not on IQ, but a lot of other things in my life.

IQ does not imply quality of life so honestly I don't see the point of comparing people based off of "how smart they are" (because fortunately we know there are many different types of intelligence).

This is my beef too. Matter of fact I reject the concept of intelligence totally.

I'd be too worried to take one. The results would haunt me for the rest of my life.
