My iq has been measured at 158 and I have definitely felt trapped before. Sure I "reasoned out" of these situations eventually, but I suspect most do. Do you suppose there are people who really find themselves trapped forever?

Similar here: IQ in the same range, and there was a time early in my career when I'd started a job that turned out to be a poor fit. I had just paid off student loans in preference to having savings.

There are worse traps than not wanting a bad look on your resumé, but that feeling was definitely there.

There is a BIG difference between 158 and 163.

It is within what's quoted as the acceptable margin of error of 5 points. It's 5 points either direction, so it's possible GP's IQ exceeds yours.
