*sigh* This is where I lose respectability.

When I was at school, I was lucky enough to be able to apply for Cambridge University, as I was a straight A student. Also, at the same time as that, my school were in the middle of some IQ research which meant that I was immediately flagged up by my teachers. I took a genuine IQ test and scored 152. A lot of it was highly unrelated to intelligence, and more related to the way in which your brain works things out. As it happens, I have incredibly limited common sense.

Naturally, I turned down my Cambridge offer for the one at Royal College.
