But I actually do really good on tests.

Like despite failing my algebra class I got the highest score in the end of year test not missing a single question.

That goes back to the fact that IQ tests really just measure who's more motivated to succeed more than intelligence but you don't like that statistic.

Outside of disabilities, which don't always mean you're dumb, I think intelligence is way too static of a concept to really make this kind of statement.

In my personal experience the average dish washer has no less or more cognitive ability than more successful people we're just less educated.
