I passed the test. I am in the top 2% of IQ.

    Okay, but...what will you *do* with this superior intellect of yours? What positive difference have you made in the world thus far, and how much did your gigantic pulsing exposed neocortex have to do with it?

    I never got to do much with mine, but it's made me a damn good pharmacy worker. It's good for picking up on how to do the job quickly and how to keep sterility and safety in the IV room. But you know what's more important than IQ for that? Good will, keeping myself slim and speedy, and a good heart. The high IQ helps but it's nowhere near even the top of the list. And yet, this is how I do good in the world. There are better people than me with perfectly average or even below-normal IQs. There are better people than me in third-world countries who every day do their best to help their families and villages. Intelligence is not the whole story.
