This! I was called to the office as an 8th grader and told in front of other students that my IQ score was low but, "don't worry you'll find something to do." The HS teachers I had would dress you down in front of the class using this I.Q. information, had this done to me many times. I was told that I needed to look at a manual labor job or if I was lucky a skilled trade by teachers when they did the class schedules for the next year, and not to sign up for any advanced classes, or else. Funny that the teacher that gave me the most grief was the one that always had me fixing her appliances and electrical items for her home, on my time and my dime. I have to study really hard for anything I do, I read things multiple times and I have to take time when I am writing something out. I depend on my memory to get me by. I managed to work through my engineering degree and a law degree as well as a year of my MBA by memorizing everything I read, pretty much in total. I write everything out long hand, even my mathematics, Calculus was a bear for me, Physics I loved and memorization of the formulas was easy for me.

Only test I have ever done well on was the ASVAB for the military, thankfully. I aced one when I enlisted in the Marines and got my choice of MOS, guaranteed. I chose Avionics and was meritoriously promoted to LCPL based on this. For a low Intelligence guy I do alright, I have a wonderful wife that I don't deserve, but treasure, two wonderful children and a job. What more do you need besides a bicycle?
