My father had a genius IQ (Mine is higher btw), and was one of the top engineers at Siemens for a long time. My brother recently graduated from Nova southeastern as an optometrist, so I have an extensive family history of intelligent people.

As for me, after going to college for networking, I want to go back to either Georgia Tech to study nanosciences, or MIT for theoretical physics.

If I wanted to brag, I could've easily mentioned my IQ which is probably higher then a majority of people on here. I didn't mean to sound like I'm bragging, but this has turned personal.
Certainly someone with as high an IQ as you have would know the meaning of "humility?"

But here's a point you are completely missing:

Outside of the academic/professional setting, none of this matters. At all. Not even a little bit.

This is a hard concept for many high-IQ people to grasp. But as I wrote in another thread today, go out and get involved in your community. Join a volunteer group, a recreational club, etc. Force yourself to interact with other people, as people. You will find right away that no one cares what your IQ is, and you'll get empty stares when you say that you're a theoretical nano-whatzit.

Your career and IQ are how you can contribute to society in general, and make a living for yourself. But they are just not things you can point to, in order to gain recognition or value from others one-on-one.

It took me a long time to figure this out and I hope you get the message too.

By and large, the only thing people will remember about you is how you made them feel.
