Dude you’ve got to go research Dabrowski’s Thoery of Positive Disintegration.
Only fools think they’re impenetrably intelligent.
It’s often those of the highest Intelligence’s that feel stupid… and who can blame us for feeling that way when we are surrounded by cruel/ rabid apes?

Neurotypical a run the world… it’s no wonder why everything is so illogical and faulty @_@

I’m INFJ, Empath (duh all INFJ are) and 5w4

115 IQ is in the 84th percentile, ok? Only 16 percent of people have a higher IQ. That’s awesome!

Hey, im sara and im 18. I did a test like mensa 3 days ago which was from an educational instituition . Well i had been alone my whole time and i’ve never understood people around me and neither they did, never had friends . I had been living in a completely different world than them and been suffering from knowing too much my whole life. After the test she called me with a surprised voice and told me i can be fit in the genius ones but im not a genius. But im so close. She told me my IQ is 115.5 and its great for my age. She was so happy WHILE I WAS FUCKING SAD BECAUSE I DIDNT SUFFER MY WHOLE LIFE TO BE ONLY A BIT MORE THAN AVERAGE .. and the funny part is that i answered all the hard shits and was wrong for the easy first questions lol. Im an infj by the way

Being an INFJ can be incredibly difficult at times, especially early on when “fitting in” is what our society tells us is “normal”. But how can we ever fit in when our standards are set so high? Or when we can see through the fake people, the users, and the less than admirable intentions? For all you other INFJ’s out there…we are not normal. We are a gifted lot with the ability to read others quite easily and to feel the emotions of others. This is overwhelming, sure, but add to this to the fact we are already not comfortable in large groups, etc and we are basically just on sensory overload most of the time (yay HSP). It took me a long time to say “no” to people as I’m a natural people pleaser. I say no to social gatherings and other invites that I feel aren’t worth the mental stress and two day emotional recovery it takes to decompress. We have so many gifts to bring to the world and to help others if we just learn to be who we are without all the feelings of guilt and inadequacy. We are freaking awesome! Just own it!!

Brother you are not alone. I always thought l had a learning disability at school and was even strapped (a leather belt) for nor understanding algebra. It didn’t help that my mum was forever frustrated with me and took to punching me from time to time, which the older and younger siblings avoided some how. I can empathise with your feelings of worthlessness and lack of selfesteem and confidence. This is exactly how l felt up until a few years ago, and l am now sixty. To say that l have felt like l have lived a worthless life with no purpose is an understatement, and periodic episodes of having a crisis of confidence and ticking off all the criteria for imposter syndrome has not helped. The only saving grace for me was that at thirty five years of age l had a psychological evaluation, which included an IQ test also. I had planned to go back to university, but didn’t want to waste my time if l had a learning disability. These guys were expersts in detecting ADD which l thought l could have as my daughter had been diagnosed with it. Turns out then before beginning study l had an IQ of between 130 and 140. I was pleasantly surprised. Finished my degree with honors, but stuill suffered crap self esteem right up to a few years ago. Then l realised that all of the many problems of the world that l was all to aware of were not mine to solve, and my attitude went from over caring for the future and welfare of others to deciding their lives was in their hands and mine was in my hands. Since that first IQ test at 35 years of age, l have done another IQ test and l am now at 143. Apparently we can expect it to increase as we get older. Some people ask do INFJ people have an average IQ. Well even if we are predisposed to being highly intelligent, we often start out with a lower IQ score in our youth than what we end up with as an adult.
