Being able to infer information fast, being able to write essays well, etc, are signs of good intelligence and high cognitive capability.

There's no abnormality here i can see. Your score reflects your real ability.

If you cannot solve the same problems given an open ended question, is it real ability? There is definitely something there, but I’m not sure I could be proud of it.
