Higher IQ

[Mermaid]

As some of you may have noticed I've had other threads talking about intelligence, the malleability of it etc because I am geniunely interested in it, I'd prefer not have any comments about how I shouldn't worry about this, how I should think less about this and do my best etc. This thread is not because I want to compare myself. I'm simply interested in how brains work differently, what are the signs, in what way they are different etc.

Now to the question; are there any members here with an or any members who know someone with a higher IQ of >120? If so:
1) How did you fare academically?
Fair in grade school and undergrad, straight A's in grad. It was all about my willingness to concentrate.
2) How fast did you learn a new concept?
Depends on the topic of the concept. If it was something I was interested in, really fast. If not, I really really had to concentrate.
3) Did you have to study much outside of school?
See answer to #2
4) What was difficult for you to learn and what wasn't?
Math = hard, medical sciences = easy.
5) How did it feel being around people that had it a bit more difficult to learn new concepts, remember things, solve problems etc
I'm very patient. Sometimes it's tiring to have to slow down, but not usually.
6) When you solve a problem in let's say mathematics (you can use another example) what is your approach and thought process when solving it?
I hate math and have always sucked at it. I would have to take a lot of time to write the problem down in a way that allowed me to see the whole thing at once. Which is not always the best way, but I have to think the whole thing through every time. I can't seem to retain formulas or shit like that. For some reason I don't trust them.
7) How was your experience when learning a new language? Did it come to you easily?
I learned pretty passable Spanish as an adult. I wouldn't say it was easier for me than for anyone else. I promptly forgot most of it as soon as I stopped using it though.

Personally I believe someone with a higher IQ has a much better and much more efficient thought process combined with a more powerful subconscious (pattern recognition, memory and such is very important too).

Answers above. I tested at 140 as a kid, sightly lower as an adult.
