Michael Johnson 回答：

I've repeatedly tested at 162 and I am a complete dumbass. Life is hard. I may get things easier than others, but I don't seem to have the attention span to implement them. I feel like my processor is overclocked but my memory speed doesn't match my bus.

我?guī)状螠y試都顯示智商162，但事實上我卻愚笨透頂。生活一點都不簡單。也許我能比別人更容易學會一些東西，但是我無法長時間集中注意力，所以我很難有所成。這感覺就好像我的處理器已經(jīng)超頻運行了，但存儲器卻跟不上節(jié)奏。

When I was thirteen I scored 161 on the Cattell B test at a session administered by British Mensa.

Since then I have not gotten into Oxford University, not gotten into Cambridge University, achieved an Upper Second class degree, and failed seven out of fifteen exams whilst studying to be a chartered accountant.

It's not about IQ; it's about how hard you work and what you make of the opportunities you are given.

我13歲的時候參加了英國門薩協(xié)會舉辦的一次活動，在卡特爾B測試中拿到161分。

那之后，我既沒考上牛津大學，也沒考進劍橋大學，只獲得了一個二級甲等學位，考特許會計師資格證時十五門考試掛了七門。

這無關(guān)智商，而在于你的努力程度和把握機會的能力。

譯注：

門薩協(xié)會（British Mensa）成立于1946年，是一個國際性組織，號稱世界頂級智商俱樂部，最大特色是該會以智商為唯一入會標準。協(xié)會從人類利益出發(fā)，確認、培養(yǎng)以及鞏固人類智商；鼓勵開發(fā)研究人的智力本能、特征和用途；為會員提供寶貴的智力刺激、交流和發(fā)展的機會。（來自百度百科）

Two years ago I had a chance to have a chat with this charming 30 something young man. He told me he is one of the people who have the highest IQ in Toronto. I cannot recall exactly the number, but it was over 160.

He also told me his brother is also very smart. The brother is in the top 5 in Toronto.

Guess what these two men were doing at that point.

兩年前，機緣巧合之下，我同一位三十多歲、英俊迷人的年輕人有過交談。他告訴我他是多倫多智商智商最高的人之一。我想不起來具體數(shù)字了，不過反正是在160以上。

他還告訴我他哥哥也很聰明，在多倫多能躋身前五。

猜猜那個時候這兩兄弟的境遇如何？

The brother was working in a convenience store at a gas station. My friend was doing an entry level job. He told me he can learn anything within a few days. However, he gets bored easily and cannot figure out what he wants to do in life.

Is being too smart a blessing or a curse?

Being smart doesn't make your life easier. Intelligence is like a tool. It all depends on how you use it.

他哥哥在一家加油站旁的便利店工作。他本人則是從事一項基層工作。他告訴我，他能在短短幾天內(nèi)就學會任何一門知識。但他總是很容易感到厭倦，不知道自己一生真正想做什么。

智商太高，究竟是福，還是禍？

聰明并不能讓你的生活更容易。智力就像一件工具，一切都取決于你如何使用它。
