Having studied IQs as a teacher, I do take issue with the number applied. No one of this woman's age can have an IQ of almost 200- this would mean that 1. She has a learning capacity of a factor of twice her age- which is obviously only useful when measured in childhood and 2. She has more brain capacity than much more famous people than Albert Einstein, for starters (180 tops) [hence hard to believe] and 3. With an IQ like that she should be in an insane asylum.... (Remember the guy who wrote Zen and the Art of Motorcycle repair? He explains this all in one of his rare lucid moments)
It actually shows how education as such is for personal improvement rather than job opportunities. Too many people have degrees to make it marketable. One must have sympathy for anyone who can't find work, clever or not. Best of luck to you my dear.
