It may seem like everyone around you is incredibly smart, and sometimes it’s hard to believe that your IQ isn’t one of the highest in the room. Let’s be honest: some of your friends are just better than you when they talk about movies or sports, but then there are these other people who just seem to have an innate ability to solve math problems in their head faster than you can even ask them. They’re right, too! A high IQ is an amazing thing if you know how to use it.
In this article, we’ll explore ten things only super-smart people know about intelligence that not-so-smart people often overlook.

If you take the test and score in the 98th percentile or higher, then congratulations! You officially have a high IQ. Now, for all intents and purposes, your IQ is considered an accurate reflection of your intelligence.
