I was born 3 months premature: does this mean I am stupid?

2013-08-16 10:16 pm
I was born three months premature, and am just wondering about opinions regarding intellect. I have noticed over the years that I think differently, and can take longer to grasp certain concepts than others. What is interesting is that I seem to be able to be more creative than other people when it comes to applying my knowledge; I am a slower learner, but am more creative with what I know.

I have never taken a IQ test - a little scared about the results, and not convinced by their validity.

Any thoughts guys?

By your usage of puncuation,grammer, and vocabulary i can tell that you are far from being mentally incompetent or stupid on the contrary you sound quite educated and bright.

Yes, you are not stupid at all. You are focused more on Left brain (creative stuff) than Right brain (logical stuff) but that's genetically mediated and has nothing to do with being premature.

You are awesome just as you are.

No it does not mean you are stupid. Stevie Wonder Was 30 weeks premature.

nope. i was born about 2 months (not that far from you) premature, and ive done a lot more than most other kids when i was in middle school. i always got honor roll, and had recieved 2 presidential awards (presented upon graduation from mid and elementary school). Plus, i took my ACTs and passed during middle school. You arent stupid at all. People learn differently. Sometimes faster, sometimes slower. My (anonymous) is a bit slower than me, so she takes some meds that help her focus. I think it was called lexapro? You should talk to a doc if you want to get some.

No. Just because you take longer to grasp stuff doesn't mean you're stupid. You might know more stuff then someone who grasps stuff quickly. As long as you understand stuff eventually, you'll be fine.I was born almost 2 months early and I am predicted all grade Bs and above for my GCSEs (yay 22nd). So early babies don't grow up to be stupid.

It means you may be younger or older than you really are.
