Totally agree and I could go on about this subject as well, but to sum it up I am referring to IQ only. I do not pretend to have IQ's nearly as high as these people, but what I lack in that department I make up for self awareness and communication. In the end, I tend to fit in better on teams and people seem to like working with me. I may not be as "smart", but it does not stop people from wanting me on their projects.
The IQ tests are all about pattern recognition - something which I appear to be good at. But I'm also good at logic and lateral thinking, which separates me from those who are "smart but stupid" (SBS).
Hmm, I just thought of something else. I've always been a bit of a "misfit". I'm not autistic afaik but I've always been a bit of a loner. However, the main thing is that I've never been afraid to "think different". Never felt the need to conform or fit in with the crowd.
