From the article:
"I have a very high IQ and can talk to you about physics all day. I'm just common sense dumb."
Uh, huh. Riiiiiight.
When did King Tut get into making improvised fragmentation devices?

Asperger's?
Hah! I have yet to meet anyone with a high IQ who felt the need to tell people they had a high IQ. I've met people who believed they had high IQs who told people about it, but they were wrong either about the actual number or their belief that it was high or both. In this case, it's likely that he grossly overestimates his mental acuity.
More likely unrealistic self-image and a lack of self-awareness.

I guess I can mutate this thread, since I started it:
Our oldest daughter might never have been tested, AFAIK. Didn't really need to test her though. She never got below an A throughout her entire school career, including college, until she got a B in indoor soccer in Costa Rica because she had to come back to America before the final. In HS, valedictorian (4.11 GPA), co-captain of the CC team, Academic Super Bowl state champion team, stage manager for the play, Lions Club International Leo of the Year, homecoming queen. Soon going back to Beijing for intensive Mandarin (speaking AND writing), and then off for a graduate linguistics degree at Columbia. I'm sure she's way up there, but that means nothing without the determination she also has. She continually amazes me.
Though I doubt she has ever tried to make a grenade.
Pfffff, what a waste...... (Just kidding, I know you have to be super proud of her.)
