> First I will tell you,an average I.Q. is 100, which you should have known with an I.Q. of 127. I.Q. is mental age\real age * 100, which for those with just a little understanding of basic algabra, that would mean the average was 100. I am a genius with an I.Q. of 170. I will tell you, my intelligence comes from being home-schooled. However, because I was home-schooled, and didn't have very much social contact, I have a great range of mental disorders. I have social anxiety disorder, panic disorder with agoraphobia, and bi-polar disorder. I would not give up my I.Q. to be rid of these disorders, since I can get through them, but could not get over being stupid.but wait.... you're saying you can't get over being stupid... i.e. no experience will raise your IQ from stupid to non-stupid... yet.. you also mentioned that being home-schooled is an experience which raised your IQ to 170
i often wonder how much mental disorders are caused by environment............. hmmmmm
