Ruveyn, get over yourself. 95th percentile is really not all that impressive—indeed, it means there are a couple hundred million people currently living who are smarter than you. In person, I virtually never even interact with people below the 95th percentile merely because of where I go to school and what departments I study in. The bulk of my friends and acquaintances would probably be ranked in at least the 97th percentile. If we pretend for the sake of argument that IQ tests mean anything, there is as wide a gap between me and you as there is between you and the common people you reject as unworthy, and I know plenty enough people next to whom I am a dull-witted simpleton.
Remember, even if you are one in a million, there's thousands more where you came from. And by the IQ measurement you hold so dear, you are only one in twenty.
