You shouldn’t let that limit yourself. Contrary to popular belief, the brain is much more fluid and adaptable than previously thought. IQ tests give a single number to represent something as complex as human intelligence, and while psychometrics can provide some kind of quantitative insight into how our brains process, organize, and distill information, it is by no means wholly representative of intelligence.

You have the capability to learn and grow. Maybe it takes a tad bit longer, but with determination and willpower (something not measured with IQ tests), you can learn just about anything.

I have MUCH more respect and appreciation for those who work hard to achieve their goals than I do for those who are naturally talented but stay within their comfort zones. If you challenge and push yourself, I think you’d be surprised with how far you can end up going 🙂

Edit: I should say, I’m sorry if you’ve heard this a million times. I’m sure it’s annoying when people just tell you “Oh all you have to do is try harder! Easy!” I’m not trying to suggest it’s easy. Or that IQ tests don’t mean anything. But if I could recommend one thing to do, it would be to look into recent developments on neuroscience of the flexibility and adaptability of the brain. It’s fairly recent research, but strongly suggests that the brain is much more dynamic and fluid than we previously thought (when IQ tests were created).

Me too. Thanks for answering. I imagine that imagining so many possibilities and desiring them and striving for them is a common human experience.
