I. What does an IQ of 135 mean? 

 

• You don't have as many choices to make friends with as others do: Lela Hollingworth, an American psychologist, found that every one of us has our own communication range based on our IQ. The communication range is defined by 2 standard deviations, each is 15, and +/- 2 score, in either directions. That of people with IQ 135 is from 103 to 167. Basically, you choices of friends and spouses have been reduced to 40% of the population. That's why you often feel lonely and can't talk to anyone;
• You're at a different pace of becoming mature: You mature slower at young ages but then mature further in the long run. Your peers whose IQ scores are lower than yours act more ‘adult' than you at this time but when both of you reach 25 or 30, things go the other way. You may consider them as silly and immature. The difference in maturity leaves you uneasy and not fitting in;
• You underestimate your ability: In psychology there is an effect called Dunning-Kruger effect. It happens when a person suffer from illusory superiority. They are not capable and talented as they think they are. This cognitive bias came from their inability to assess their incompetence. And on the reverse, people with high IQ score can suffer from what is so-called illusory inferiority. You are excellent in some fields and have merit but you are not confident about your ability. You may think that you are not good enough or incompetent;
• An advice for those with IQ 135: Anytime you think you are the smartest in the room, seek another one. When you meet people as smart as you or even smarter, you can easily fit in and benefit from it.
