>>12399337>>12399401While on university my IQ was measured by a psychologist at a 115-120 range. I'm not retarded at all, it just happens that I was neglected at childhood.
Both my parents worked so my only caretaker was a rural-bred cousin (f) that belittled and isolated me daily and didn't notice/cared about my intelligence.
By the time my parents noticed my (barely) above average intelligence I already begrudged them so I went full adolescent crysis and gave them the finger by underperforming.
Suffice to say I never developed or cared about a studying routine/dinamic suited for my predominant intelligence so I winged university by tryharding on the contents that interested me (algology, reumathology, oncology, pharmacology) and totally neglecting the ones I didn't like (cardio, pneumo, ID).
When I reflect on my upbringing I feel like the whole game was rigged from the start and all I do is row against the waves. The state of this country doesn't make things easier since any given day I or my parents can be shanked by a feral redskin or kidnapped by the cartel.
This year I not only grinded my brains against the textbook but also was revealing cause I got the help I needed in order to have discipline and a learning methodology suited for my dominant intelligence.
Last year I got a 53 on an exam developed to measure the best general practitioner, this year a 61 on a test that changed its content to measure the suitability of the spec candidate (a lot of trauma and life support algorithms). I don't give up because contraire to 1st world doctors here becoming specialist is a matter of actual survival and not an ego trip.
Sorry for the blospot.
