( I am a lot better now) The hospital has tested on my cognitive ability twice and from what they say I am rank above 95% intelligence for the population. I have also had a vocational test and for abstract reasoning ability at 93% of general population and 62% for clerical aptitude. I don't consider my self good at anything and nothing overly interests me. My HSC I scored 15 and under for the TER and when I studied for my trade certificate just passed every thing. ( I did not study at high school and had little interest in going and I did the same at tafe, no study but slight interest but it did not last). After my injure and I was told I was clever ( I thought they where trying to be funny), I attempted UNI for 1 year and I forced myself to study and was score 80 to 90% on exams but started to loose interest. What I wanted to know is, what jobs are people with high abstract reasoning ability's good at. I was looking to study again at UNI but what?

However, it does drop off with age unless you keep exercising it. If you keep thinking creatively and and maintain a high degree of intellectual curiosity, you are so much better off, as your abstract reasoning will tend to hold its level.
