Higher IQ

[robvalue]

My IQ was tested when I was around 13, and it was above 120.

---

1) 9 GCSE grade A, 4 A level grade A, 1st class degree in mathematics with honours
2) Generally very fast
3) Some, relatively little
4) I had a good memory, but I found lists of dry facts hardest to memorise
5) I wanted to help them, and I did, so much so it eventually led me to being a maths teacher
6) Difficult to say! I analyse the information I have, I consider different approaches, I experiment with those that seem most likely to work; if they aren't working I take a step back and see if there's another less obvious way to approach the whole thing
7) It came easy relative to other students, but hard relative to me. I hated learning vocabulary in particular. I put in enough work to get a good grade, but I've never been motivated to practice enough to be fluent.
