I'm not sure I've ever taken a standard IQ test. As for the rest:
1. I did very well academically, but that isn't really a fair assessment. I made sure to take classes I already knew I'd do well in.
2. Like others here, it depended largely on my level of interest.
3. No. Outside of school was for stealing beer and chasing girls.
4. Maths and economics were a stumper, as I found the subjects intensely dull. History and literature were a walk.
5. Don't recall. I think one of them eventually became Prime Minister.
6. Learn as much as possible about the subject before tackling the problem. If it's a real world type problem, I try to find out what else has been tried before I start.
7. I learn languages without undo difficulty, but I tend to forget them if I don't use them. I used to have conversational Russian and French, now I get by in Irish and know enough Maori to get my face slapped.
