Crushing Blow

Something I've always had great pride in is my level of intelligence. I've always been a really bright person and this was reflected in my school marks as well as my IQ test results which would range from around 150-170, usually clocking in closer to around 160-165. The subject came up today and someone has said that 190 was a ridiculously high IQ and I chimed in saying I was 170 and I'm certainly not some Rainman genius. He didn't believe me, but whatever.

It had been a few years since I'd taken an IQ test so I decided to take one this evening just to see where I'm at. I came in at a measly 120. I was crushed to see that. Just to be certain, I took the test again with a similar result.

How the hell did this happen? It's really bothering me now. I think I might take it again tomorrow with a fresh mind and fresh meds. If it comes up shit again, I'm going to be flexing my brain again to get that shit back up there. I'm barely into the "high intelligence" range anymore.

since you didnt know just how high 170 was (photographic memory, instant math calculations, etc), maybe 120 is what you thought 170 is, so you're still as intelligent as you thought relative to other people, you just had the number wrong
