In my opinion, this story equates IQ with street smarts and other attributes. I’m not proud of this, but in 5th grade, I was tested and scored over 150 IQ. Knowing I was gifted at a young age made me lazy; I would cheat or do the bare minimum to pass. Eventually, I used my IQ in the world of crime, which lasted for a decade, followed by a decade in prison. Now, at 40 years old, I’m beginning to understand my God-given potential and work hard every day to solve problems.
