IQ is not a benchmark for success or happiness in life, it definitely doesn't give anyone the right to look down at anyone else, inversely i get annoyed when intellectually oriented people prefer to talk with others that are intellectually astute, and are called snobs because of it

Yes.

I can fit in with people less intellectually oriented but I find it more tiring as passing as NT seems to become more important.
 
I had an official IQ test last year, and I still don't know my official score and probably never will, all I do know is that contrary to popular opinion, I am NOT retarded.
