But do you make more money than them? LOL.
Anyway, FWIW, I had to take two of these stupid tests when I was younger. These were administered by a psychologist at the request of the school I was attending. The first one pegged me at 136. The second one, a few years later, at low 140 something. Tho, one gets better at the test with practice, that's known.
All that happened was they wanted to skip me a bunch of grades ahead & my parents said no for concerns about my being a geeky kids with no friends. Its not like I'm a mensa member or anything.
So, if you want to compare, come back when you've taken a real test administered by a psychologist and then I might talk to you.
Seriously, there will always be someone smarter/richer/better looking than you. This is life. Ive been on this site for a while. I know somethings about somethings. But I'm just as dumb as the rest when it comes to other stuff.
Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.
