"I am not directly answering the question, but hopefully this ok: I am slightly autistic, I am very bad at reading social situations and while I have a fairly good background in facts, learning things is very difficult for me and I frequently just "give up". I have become fairly successful in my life, but frequently I blame it on good luck and due to my charisma. I also have depression though (a part of being aspi), so my lack of self confidence also comes from that. Also since I am fairly mild "on the spectrum" it's just enough for me to realize that I am not like everyone else, but not enough to actually do anything about it... I know that what takes someone else a few hours to learn, it takes me a week I know that others can just be in groups of people more than 3-4 and not want to go crawl in a hole I know that I am not very smart in general. :) Anyways, I can't fix it... so that's just what I have to live with.

I have had the priviledge of hearing converstions between two extraordinarily clever people, one being Mogens Schou (psychiatrisk) and the other a Cambridge educated university professor of astro physics. The level of conversation, in terms of vocabulary, ideas, references (often in ancient greek, latin or other languages...) was insane. I am not a stupid person, but I had no chance of participating in or contributing to their conversation. This is how I imagine people of low intelligence experience the world.

I have worked with some people with a mental disability and low IQ. They mostly don't realise and therefore don't care. And to be honest, it is nice because that way they don't juge you at forehand.

I think chairs have below average IQ, they let people sit on them all day long.

I thought the entire notion of IQ turned out to be bullshit?

"I've always considered myself to be a rather "dumb" person. People usually have to explain things to me a couple times because I usually just don't understand it. I hate it. My friends are always trying to convince me that I'm not, and that everyone has their "strong points", but I just honestly don't think that I'm ever going to be convinced otherwise. At least I'm not an asshole though "

As I understand it, stupid people don't realize they are stupid. Maybe their IQ score is nothing to them but a meaningless number because they feel as smart as the next guy. edit: word change

My mom used to work as an LPN for rich guys (before she became an RN) who became brain damaged from accidents (one from a motorcycle, one from a yacht.. it was a private home they all went to). She'd tell me stories how many of them were still functional, could take and take care of themselves to a point (some of them were in wheelchairs, needed walkers, etc). She described to me that sometimes they'd cry and become very depressed, because they remember how their life was and how they used to be able to do things such as advanced math, reading, etc, but couldn't anymore. They explained it as feeling helpless and very frustrating, knowing that whatever they tried to do COULD be done, they themselves just couldn't do it because their ability was limited. I imagine it's very upsetting and makes to feel very bad about yourself.
