Speaking of IQ my older brother (my moms favorite) was a electronic wiz kid in the 60s/70s, had a photo graphic memory when it came to schematics and such. Mom could not talk enough about him to everyone proclaiming how the air-force recruited him due to his skills and all the special top secret projects he worked on and such.
I have always been more mechanically inclined, working on cars and doing physical type work cutting wood, construction, drywall and factory work. Somehow it morphed into PCs/computers then severs and now routers/networking.
About 5 years ago we both took a series of the same IQ test just for fun. My mom could not, would not believe it when the results showed my IQ was just a little higher than his. He is smart in a specific field but I have a much broader range. I have configured and built ever PC he has owned and he cant hardly install a CD drive if his life depended on it. lol
Even after he told mom it was true and tried to explain why she just couldn't believe it. LOL Good think I have never been bothered by things like that or I may have felt 2nd best? I did grow up believing he must be some kind of genius. He is 18 years older so I was never around him growing up and he moved out of state when I was 1? It's funny how time/age changes a lot of perspectives.

IQ test has little to do with smarts and in fact the test is cultural bias and cannot take into account all areas of the brain....there are people who are illiterate yet brilliant! there are people who cant spell yet they can figure out some of the most out challenging physics and math problems. All an IQ test does for someone is shows them if they are a visual learner or not.

Your bring up a good point. Its also why grades in school really don't have much reflection on ones intelligence. Also why my sister in law who gets straight A's and everyone calls her smart yet I think she is clueless. I know the areas my brain works really well in, and the areas it struggles.

Sometimes parents don't think about how what they are saying will affect the child. This is a case in point. Glad you got over it. Emotional baggage is a terrible thing to drag along in your life and does nothing good for you as you know.Speaking of IQ my older brother (my moms favorite) was a electronic wiz kid in the 60s/70s, had a photo graphic memory when it came to schematics and such.

With your post I do not doubt it. Most smart people are book smart but lack all common sense, much like you have just shown.

Interesting!
How was your childhood schoolwise? Did you know early on?
Where do you excel? Arts? Science?
When you read a paper, do you read once, grasp, and can recite?
Memory? Instrument? Languages?
How does this affect your choice of work?
Does this help you attain "easy money"? Ie. Trading, betting, gambling etc.
Sorry , lot´s of q´s but I find it interesting.

...so did your chapter actually DO anything to better humanity (like MENSA'S purpose says they are formed to do), or was your group more like the majority of its members ~ meeting at a local restaurant and gossiping about hot news topics, trying to see which of the group is the smartest?

Yeah I am sure it would have messed with most kids minds and I have known kids it did but really it never bothered me for some reason or at least not much. He was a lot older and I know I had skills he never had. I was better looking also.
I never felt I needed to compete with him or try to do better than him and knew we were 2 different people. In the end before my mom died it was nice to have her acknowledge that she had not given me enough credit and him way to much over the years and she appreciated that it was me who had stuck around and took care of her although she had always thought and planned it would be him but he just flaked out.
Everyone should judge their own self worth based on their own expectations and goals, not what others think or try to compare themselves to someone else. Of course competition is good and healthy but it has to be within limits.
