I can read, and actually enjoy reading, Chaucer. I can understand written Spanish and French. I can swear in 7 languages. I can color within the lines, though my creative streak sometimes rebels against that kind of compliant behavior.
I can play 12 different musical instruments with varying levels of expertise (or novice, as the case may be) and the only reason I can't play more is because those are the only ones I've tried to play thus far. I can read music in C-clef, G-Clef, and F-clef.
I don't need no stankin IQ test to tell me how intelligent I am.

I don't either. But I have administered quite a few tests in my life and I can tell you what you already know; You are much above average.
I was on the board of the Williams Syndrome Association for many years and met there many people who are and always will be treasures to me and who have enriched my life. One of those treasures is our youngest daughter who was born with Williams Syndrome.
Wechslers and Whoopsies and Stanford Binet's helped our daughter and many of her friends and her sister too who was in the gifted class. It really is horse **** that we all come with the same ability set. And there is no shame to that truth either.
