So, finally to my point, what do you do, if you are the smartest person in the room, bored, and don't have the authority to change things?
Are there any auditions out there? How do you become part of a think tank? How do you cut through the red tape and the egos in order to get to a point where you are actually making a difference instead of just adhering to idiotic policy that was put in place for no logical reason?
How do you get past the obstacles that are in your way just because you may be younger or different? How do you find a company that is actually looking for excellence and do you know of any interviews or auditions where somebody could prove their skills?
Why would you tell yourself that you do not have the authority to change things?
Probably the same reason as me. Fear.
Auditions? Sure.
A word of advice:
Ditch logic.
You are more likely to get what you want by wanting to be in the present moment. More likely to see good opportunities come for you or the bad ones to avoid. More likely to connect to your surroundings in a way that things outside of your body would like to give you what you want.
You cannot find the present moment with logic.
It is something to be felt, not thought of, but sensed and appreciated.
; )
Everything that your intelligent mind absorbs can be broken down into feelings, believe it or not.
Tell yourself that you will get what you want and tell everything else that too to increase the chances of getting it.
There is no need to question something that you want because while in timespace you tend to change things so it is better to question and change the crap that you do not want.
The truth can only be felt.
There is no other way unless you have decided to be ignorant like the rest of us.
Transform every possibility that you want to be true into a reality and convince your surroundings of your truth . ..
You will get what you want. There is no other way unless you want to lie to yourself. Can you see it? Get it. Something in the way? Change it.
Good luck.

Anyone else find it quite hilarious how half the posters in this thread refer to themselves as highly intelligent?
reminds me of:
Alt-Text: The typical internet user (who wants to share) has an IQ of 147 and a 9-inch penis. Well, better than the reverse, I guess.
You're a bit above the average Internet User. I reckon there's still at least 10% of all internet users or so that are smarter then you are. So hardly superior intellect. More like well above average intellect.
However if you also happen to have a 12-inch penis, a G-cup and drink over 15 glasses of water every day you might still be an exceptional internet user though. Not sure if there's a thinking tank for exceptional internet users though.
Now after this brief ( hopefully ) comedic interlude back to more serious posters of superior intellect either symphatising with your situation or debunking you as "smartest" poster.
Uhh...Excuse me. I have an IQ of 189 and a fourteen inch penis...In circumference!
"The greatest trick the devil played on humanity in the 20th century was convincing them that he didn't exist." (Paraphrasing) C.S. Lewis

So you absorb information like a sponge. You are an efficient sponge as you pick up most of what you have wiped.
But that is all your are; you are a sponge set about to absorb whatever information you can. And this sponge only gets bigger because it can never release more than it absorbs. You are a big fat sponge, complacent with your sponge-like quality, bloated with a sense of accomplishment that may very well be misplaced. You can keep absorbing, but are you weary that what you absorb may be false? Are you aware your entire life as a sponge could be compromised by your predisposition? If you realize this, then the sense of accomplishment is not misplaced. You realized you accomplished nothing, even though nothing is something. You realized that the only thing you can know for sure, is that you don't know anything.
Where does this take you? If you don't know anything for certain, does that mean you have to keep absorbing? No. When are you going to dispense what you have absorbed? You had/have some jobs that required you to use some of what you absorbed, but, what you absorbed never really went away; and you only absorbed even more with your job experience.
You are bored? Happiness comes from within, and you may never find it externally. I'm not saying you can't find happiness externally, but I am saying most of it is subjective inclination. Sadist find happiness in pain, for example, because it is that preference from within which is the ultimate source for their enjoying that stimulus. If you are bored, then you have time to be bored. Use that time more wisely to understand your preferences through the experimentation of the external. There will be places restricted from experimentation (such as the policies of someone else's company), but there are many other places to experiment.
Do. Act. Experiment. Find the happiness within. Stop wiping and absorbing, start wringing and releasing. You are bored because you only absorb and never create. If you are bored with everything of something (e.g. books, movies, games, computer programs, websites, etc.), then make your own of that something. You wrote the OP because you were bored.
I wouldn't be able to read that many books without channelling the information they teach me into some form of action; or, at least, deeper contemplation of the subject matter would prevent me from speed reading through so many publications. I could have all the world's resources in front of me and fail to do anything with them without a sense of creativity. When you truly understand something, you can express that understanding by adding more information to that something than what you have been given.
P.S. (A reply to Dreanor) George Orwell's passion for clarity with language is awesome. I love his Nineteen Eighty-Four. "The Principles of Newspeak" are hilarious (they are in the the appendix). The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis claims that the structure of the language you use greatly influences the way you think and they way you conceptualize your worldview. Well, the totalitarian government in Nineteen Eighty-Four reduces the amounts of words in the English language in order to prevent critical thinking within the masses. For example, they randomly remove words that are opposites, such as the act of removing the word bad and using ungood in its place.
And, to dumb down what I said to laymen's terms, I will summarize what I have concluded about you. You do have an increased awareness, but you are inexperienced at actually expressing what you know. This is obvious from your title: the possessive form of the pronoun "it" is actually "its," and it's not "it's" -- with an apostrophe. I am sorry for being a grammar nazi, but that is the implication I have perceived (as well as others), due to the form of your composition. I could easily make that mistake if I wasn't paying attention, but someone with 160+ IQ should never make that mistake.

One thing worries me. You seem to equate "absorbing information" with intelligence and i beg to disagree, that's your memory. I have known many people capable of absorbing and reproducing lots of information, information they often didn't understand. Intelligence is more. While it is already a good thing to be able to absorb a lot of information i don't consider it as "intelligence". To my opinion "intelligent" people should be able to "invent" and in order to do that you need to be able to do more than simply absorb, you need to be able to succesfully analyse, comprehend and draw correct conclusions out of the information you have absorbed.
If your only positive trait is being able to absorb information you are always going to be one step behind of the true intelligent people, you will be the one absorbing what they come up with.

IQ tests seem to be about testing the ability to see patterns in things.
So if you have seen a number of outcomes, you become able to predict the outcomes of future events that share some of the same identifiable symptoms.
@ the OP, you don't just cut through the red tape and join "think tanks".
Idiots think they can but soon learn that "intelligence" is no substitute for knowledge.
If you are intelligent, you still start at the bottom. You still have to learn all the same things everyone else learns. You still have to make all the same mistakes everyone else made to learn.
You just do it faster.
So if you want something, the sooner you swallow your own ego, take your head out from inside your own arse and get your foot on the bottom rung of the ladder.... the sooner you will be able to climb to it's top.
It's not the "ego's" you need to get past to get to the top... it's the better men.
My solution to this is to do something you completely suck at. Like...Playing an FPS game with people who are wayyyy better than you. Oh or playing Darkfall solo.

Superior intelligence is a curse. It means to live surrounded by instects.
Grab power if you can. That's the only thing to justify your intelligence.
