I have an IQ of 150. I become boredreally easily. Is this a result of having a high IQ? AlexisPaulet, was told I had a high IQ as a child, but never really thought itmattered. WrittenOct 25 The other day I was chatting withmy girlfriend. She’s extremely smart. She said “as a kid I was always bored inschool”, so I asked her what she did about it. “There wasn’t much to be done,homework felt easy and I had more time for sports and other activities”. It is true that she was acompetitive tennis player for all of her teenage years. I wondered if that wasa result of all the extra time she had. Then she said: “even to this day I feelbored sometimes. People around me seem stupid sometimes”. At the time we had this littlediscussion, I knew her birthday was the forthcoming week so I bought her awhole collection of books on political philosophy. Plato, Aristotle, Locke,Hobbes… She never read any philosophy before. She was surprised. I said “if youthink you’re smart and if you’re bored, then go get out of your comfort zone.Read those books. Do you think you are smarter than the people who authoredthose books?” She read them. She studied. Shelearned. She became more humble. There’s always someone smarter than you.Always something you can learn. Getout of your comfort zone. Go to the next level. Surround yourself with smartpeople.
