The problem and the solution, get a life, are one in the same in regards to genius. I'm personally pretty high up there. Your scores? A nice starting, baseline in my calculations. But here's how I measure intellect: The ability to stop counting belly button lint and braiding pubic hair.
Being brown I take offense at both the racial profiling and the fact that no one be called you out on it. That substantiates to me a bigger issue: Western white male measurement and pacification.
What the world is no longer laid out for boo boo and you might have to do some work? No wait you might have to take the step that certifies genius---do something for the world. That's your mission, the reason why you've been given a chance at prodigiousness. But instead you're on Quora inspecting your scrotum to count IQ points?
What is mild depression anyway? Or ADHD?
True genius has no time for labels. The fact that you allow yourself to be marginalized means that you're not any where near what you seek.
What I've noticed is when people lack ability they create mild inabilities to maintain identity, to create piteous interest. Imagine the mental masturbatory jouissance at getting thousands of people to acknowledge what dozens of people in person would avoid the verbal vomiting about?

You've heard before the push to do something, to be of use, to volunteer, to help, to solve problems but instead pity seeking and racial discrimination projection is the BEST thing you could come with?
No genius there.
If you lock a monkey to a typewriter for a year eventually he'll type a word.
At least those of lesser complexity intellect can focus, can get out of bed, can help others. Applying genius level thinking to that, which is of greater value an actualizer or someone hobbled by media projected anxieties ?

*I'd like to thank Eli Pope for such intense verbiage and the sarcastic thought about Summertime needed to be playing behind the question.
Can genius be honed? Yes, I've done it day in and out for years, primarily to Black and Latino students, other groups are self-defeated by their adherence to manufactured and personally enhanced anxieties. People of color are winning because of those who don’t hustle, work hard, bust ass and have identities predicated on scoring. The innate genius all minorities possess is we're raised with societal defiance, steel jaws prepared to take a punch, meet discrimination and low grading. Others think because they are in positions of social progress, they have won. But without pills, Dr. Feelgood and others to dump on, really, what are you?
The genius is the unraveling through measurement, which serves those you think you're above better than you can ever suspect.
