But, by all means exceptional, likely with an IQ over 130, perhaps
edging to 145, placing you smack into the range of individuals
which are at a minimum smarter than ~97.5% of all the rest of
humanity. So pat yourself on the back and engage in some well-
deserved emotional masturbation. You're likely better than you
give yourself credit for.

Moreover, in this case, a little acceptance of your own lofty
capabilities may do you some good, because when you learn to
aknowledge yourself, you may begin to see the signficance of
similar accomplishment in others.

OM, HARI SHIVA, and all that. :-P
