Hey Turtle

It is supposedly proven that IQ's are passed down genetically and influenced by a persons environment. Therefore siblings growing up in the same environment are said to have very similar IQ's in general. My brothers and mine only differs by one point and I'm the higher even though he was always perceived to be the more academic between the two of us by far. Your sister has an IQ of 160 it is highly unlikely you will have a low IQ. That being said there is a lot of unnecessary importance paid to a persons IQ and for that matter it is not necessarily a consistent way of measuring intelligence anyway. Furthermore there seems to be no importance paid to a persons emotional intelligence in terms of test results, and yet without emotional intelligence, general intelligence doesn't count for much. I wonder if they did studies about people with average IQ's vs people with high IQ's if they would find that those with average IQ's on the whole were more successful in life in general or not?

Someone once said something to me which makes you think. If intelligence is like a circle (imagine a clock) and IQ measures where you are placed on that circle/ clock. The 12 is the beginning of the circle, 6 is average intelligence, 9 is high intelligence etc, well then really the higher your level of intelligence the closer you are to stupidity. I don't know - will leave that there for interpretation and reflection.

What I will say is this...don't put pressure on yourself due to other peoples perceptions of intelligence.
