I didn't claim to have 165. That was Trivial Pursuit, if I recall. I don't think I'm that high. I only know I have a decent IQ, because I was invited to join Mensa after taking an IQ test my freshman year of HS, so I'm at least over 135. If I had to guess, based on what I've learned, I'd say I'm between 145-155.

Funny story; my mom complained to the school that I should be in gifted in talented, but I didn't want to, so I half-heartedly took the GT examination (not an IQ test). I didn't do well, and when my mom asked me why not, I told her the truth. She went up to the school and complained again and asked for me to retake it. The counselor said that I couldn't retake it, but I could take an official IQ test, and if I scored high enough, I could get in GT. My mom told me I'd be grounded if I didn't try my best, and I ended up doing pretty well. The school was forced to put me in the AP and GT program. Luckily for me, I would have had to retake my senior year of classes if not for the AP bump in my GPA. I had a 1.7 that was rounded to a 2.0. I was a terrible student, but I ended up becoming a Gifted and Talented teacher for a while in a weird twist of fate. I learned all about IQ back then, and one of the big lessons is that it's pretty common for people in the higher percentiles to rebel against systems. That's pretty much the story of my  life until my mid-30's, when I got tired of trying to change the system.

To answer your question. I don't do anything special with my brain. I raise my kids, I learn stuff like philosophy, psychology, history, cultures, and modern affairs (with a strong dose of whatever new hobby piques my interest... right now that's fishing), and I post on the internet. It's a waste, really, and people constantly like to remind me.
