I have more patience with other people (who don't have the benefit of my personal context) than I do myself. That's because I take the time to explain things, qualities, notable bits of information that might be relevant to understanding.
Intelligence has nothing to do with quickness of understanding. Relatable context does. Your judgment of people being "less smart" (in the context of misunderstanding you) because of an IQ test result is just your ego speaking.
edited to add: For the record, my IQ is higher than yours, but it means absolutely nothing, beyond the fact that it convinced me when I was 14/15 that what my teachers were telling me about my apparent stupidity was wrong.
