L2L and I are almost the same age, and we grew up in the same zip code. We both married doctors. From what I recall, L2L is slightly more intelligent than me. I admit. The more dramatic difference, though, is the people we grew up around. My parents are both smarter than me and I was around future Ivy Leaguers the entire time I was in school. Even though they told me I was smart, I knew I wasn't the smartest. L2L seems to have always been the smartest in his family and the smartest in his class, but I don't think he would have been the smartest, if he were in my family or taking my classes.
