| Some of my rooms are very messy and others are very clean. Either way, if someone moves something or leaves an item out (like in the kitchen), it makes me irrationally angry/agitated. |

| First, I think that most people haven't taken a real IQ test (administered under strict conditions), so that their cited "scores" are ambiguous at best. That being said, I scored SUBSTANTIALLY (more than a standard deviation) higher on an actual IQ test than on the "IQ tests" offered online. That be... |
