In many ways what you describe feels similar to having a high IQ and ADHD. Sometimes being able to dig deeper into a topic than most but sometimes entering a bit of a “mental fog” where you’re barely able to think at an average level. But instead of medication it can be “triggered” by sudden surprises (E.g. unexpected questions or situations can derail my mind for a few minutes) or environmental/nutrition changes, or even just pack of sleep. Still it forces you to think at different levels of mental acumen and appreciate the differences people have in mental quickness. Though it’s also a challenge when people with constant “IQ” assume you don’t know a given topic if you’re in an off moment or day. Luckily the more experienced people seem to pick up on that. In the end communicating across different intellectual levels makes for a humbling challenge.
