I actually have no idea who I am.That's obvious. You're Batman. Duhh.
I guess it's time to go out and protect Gotham since it's night time.

one day?
Not even my closest friend knows too much about me sadly. I just find it almost impossible to confide in anybody. No teachers, friends, or family. I just...I won't say can't, but I just need to find the right person I suppose. It's not like I'm depressed or anything. Even though I'm more socially recluse I am still amiable with people. I'm almost like a living diary though. Everyone tells me their problems.

Not sure it matters but when my only I.Q. test was done I found out I was in the 87% of North American Children in my age bracket(this is under genius level but not much). That being said I hear I.Q. test are overrated and flawed in terms of determining intelligence so I do not put much stock in my results. This was also a test I took in the late 80's so things may have changed about the tests.

If I could live in a library I would be smarter than Einstein.

No, it was an I.Q. test, libraries have nothing to do with them. They were timer based logic and problem solving tests. I believe you could be more knowledgeable than Einstein but smarter would be a stretch.
edit: wanted to add Einstein was actually rather low in terms of I.Q. compared to other physicists and academics of his time, he simply saw the world differently which allowed him to think of things that no one had ever considered before. It also goes to show you an I.Q. doesn't mean much.

Never had an IQ test, but I do visit a psychiatrist on occasion and at first he thought I was going to end up like James Holmes because of my love for Batman/ Red Hood comics.

What I mean is that...how do I say this...I recall reading that I.Q. tests that children take reveal their original I.Q. Usually before the age of 6 or 7 if I recall correctly. Tests after that age are different in a way.
Also what I meant was that if I stayed in a library all the time and read every book, that it would just an accumulation of knowledge. It is not really you learning everything from the very beginning. It's rather hard to explain, sorry about that.

I did not know I had even taken a test. It was just one of those psych things that I was called in for like line up the lines on the cubes to make the shapes and other stuff.

Err, alright I still don't quite understand where you're going with that. My test was in my first 5-7 years. I have nothing to compare it to now so I just use it as a point of reference, I may be more or less intelligent than I was then. I also don't get your library point, perhaps it's a translation issue?

If I recall correctly, as Waar sortah proposed, I.Q is basically how fast you learn things, that can't really change the way knowledge can.
You can learn things but you can't learn faster than your limit.
You're limited to taking in a certain amount of knowledge in a certain amount of time.

They made me take a written test, asked me a few questions, and observed me. It's not that bad and it can do some good if you can't find anyone to talk to, but they sometimes over think things and may misjudge you or assume the worst at times.(for me)

What I meant by the library was that I could just keep reading there and adding to my own knowledge.
