MENSA is the top 1% of IQ, and I *almost* make the cut. I always end up at the 98.5th percentile. Maybe if I was a real striver, I could somehow eventually get in. I looked into it once, and basically they let you carry a card that says you are smart as long as you pay them money every year. That sounds pretty stupid to me.
I went to a fairly mediocre law school, just because it was local. Some people who get into law school and later become lawyers are honestly pretty dull as far as IQ goes. There were a few other students I could tell were smarter than me, but not a lot. I remember a few professors who were just obvious geniuses. One prof in particular was so brilliant that he was hard for me to follow. I'm not used to that. The guy's IQ was so high that the numbers become meaningless at that point. He was, however, deficient in emotional intelligence. He would make girls cry all the time, and often not even realize that he had done so. He mentioned that he had never been able to talk himself out of a speeding ticket. He's brilliant, but he can't look at a person and have an idea of what they are thinking and feeling. That skill is completely different than academic intelligence, and it helps you a lot more in getting laid.
