There is NOTHING that is a more accurate predictor of success in life as IQ, So that puts you in the very low IQ range.
I think you have cause and effect confused. It's much like college.
In the distant past, college was a place where the sons (not the
daughters) of the aristocracy would go to learn how to be gentlemen.
Eventually, the commoners noticed that these college students were
rather wealthily. Using your logic, they concluded that anyone who
attends college will become wealthy. So, they sent their sons to
college and waited for the money to roll in. Rather than admit that
their logic was faulty, they just perpetuated the myth and produced
today's college mess. I suggest you not make the same mistake with
IQ.
Your idea of success seems to be to amass a large pile of money.
However, that only works if you can display your wealth for the world
to see through conspicuous consumption. So far, I haven't seen any
photos or videos of your opulence, lavish possessions or donations to
worthwhile charities. When was the last time you purchased a shiny
new bicycle? With millions in the bank (or in your mattress), you
could easily afford a new bicycle built to your exacting standards.
If you don't spend the money, the only people who benefit from your
alleged wealth are the bankers and tax collectors. How can you
advertise yourself as successful if nobody sees your signs of success?
You can put on an act and pretend to be successful, but you would have
great difficulty maintaining that fraud for more than a few years.
Why do you try so hard to be smart?
To make you look dumb by comparison, to keep you entertained and
because intelligence tends to pay better than stupidity.
