Is there a correlation between reading ability or vocabulary and Intelligence Quotient? Because I don't have access to an accurate IQ test, but I have a VERY extensive vocabulary for my age (99th percentile) and I have read the Illiad in 4 days, read the Divine Comedy in three days, and read books that are much more intellectually stimulating and advanced than my peers. My reading speed is also 795 words per minute with a comprehension rate of 91.4% accuracy. I have difficulty with mathematical equations and paying attention, though.

I also often find myself in situations inn which my peers accuse me of using "big words", though I use only words I find simplistic and easy to understand.
