If IQ didnt exist how would you quantify if someones gifted personally?

Basically the title. In a hypothetical, if you had to guess someones intelligence, what questions would you be asking? What would you look out for? Any patterns of speech? Anything behaviourally? Answers can include anything, but im looking more for unique opinions and stuff thats niche. Also, you cant include stuff in IQ like their working memory or verbal IQ or whatever

Is IQ mostly BS? Let me know your thoughts.

Reason im asking this is because I scored a 138 on an administered test. I never felt particularly that smart, I dont relate to a lot of the things people in this sub talk about like feeling "alienated" or naturally different, and never scored particularly impressive grades in high school (although tbf i've never really studied). I know that the g factor is a is like super correlated with each of its facets, and it predicts real world outcomes or whatever, I know its generally well validated by experts, but I cant shake the feeling that the test got something wrong. It didnt even particularly feel that hard either, I was just kind of half assing it and when I got the score back was like "no way it was that easy". People have been calling me smart all my life but I kind of thought that was just some social label people put onto others without any thought into it, which it kind of is honestly. I dont think I do anything in particular to give off that vibe, but somehow its so many peoples impression of me. I just dont get it. Help?

Does anyone else feel the same specific way?

So basically a year ago I did shrooms and immediately after I felt completely different. The way I can describe it is like my consciousness shifted and I could no longer get back to my old mode of thinking or even remember how it felt. Many descriptions of DPDR will say "detached from sense of self", "feeling detached/observant" etc, and while this is also true its not what im talking about. Its like my sense of self feels qualitatively different, not just detached. I think in a new way that is completely new to me. Its like I turned into a different person overnight. Anyway, is this even typical of DPDR because I never see it described like this? Let me know about your experiences
