The results of my IQ exam are in

Do you attend a good university? Did you graduate from high school with honors? Have you ever been #1 of your class?

No. It means the IQ test is dumb and repeating it has no real effect on actual intelligence in an individual.

/pol/'s IQ is actually one of the highest in Veeky Forums.

No...

I get it, I'm a fucking loser...

/pol/'s pumped up self-image is actually one of the highest on Veeky Forums

I've done all of these things. The more you achieve, the more looming the shadow of expectation and fear of failure becomes.

Practicing tests improves pattern recognition, so you do get smarter

what if you were almost held back a grade in high school, but graduated with honors from a middling university?

Congratulations, you've just entered the real world. Realize that you aren't some prodigy and find a real and achievable goal that you can work to. Your whole life you've been able to ask yourself if you really wanted to pursue your dreams because you thought you were too good for basic happiness, you could do better. Now you know you can't. Now you know that there is no great and brilliant story waiting for you, just your own choices and your own actions. You've lost your freedom, but you've gained your future. A future that isn't drifting in the clouds, but lays before you and in your reach.
Go, user. Live your life.
