HIGH IQ society

[FZZW3334]

yes i clicked it and it works perfectly for me, IQtest.dk



Im working on assembling such a group, it is SO FREAKING HARD to find people similar or more intelligent than yourself, agh. Its a very lonely world when you are smart :/

If you can't find anyone smarter than you then you are not trying very hard.

Are you in college or did you go to college? Higher level classes are full of very intelligent people including the professors. It isn't hard at all to find intelligent people.

Oh and a general rule of thumb is anyone that professes their intelligence probably lacks it; but whatever floats your boat my dear Euthyphro.

Graduated already and now work for the govt. I have intelligent friends, but it wasnt easy finding them, finding more is difficult as well, especially ones that are living the same life as you whether married or single, kids no kids, etc.

Also, I sport quite a large ego my friend so the rule of thumb doesnt apply. Personally, I have never heard a dumb person profess their intelligence.

nothing is worst then having some one tell you how to spell or correct your grammer, or a person who judges by IQ

Really? You've never heard anyone talking about how smart they are when, in reality, they aren't smart at all?

No argument about the ego.

OK, the first time I got a 101.I began getting a headache and randomly clicking stuff at test question 20.So I decided to take the test two more times, randomly clicking answers, because I don't understand one fucking bit of the test.The second time, I got an 81.And the third time, I got...an 81.Hmmm.One more time.And I did it one more time, trying for about half of it, then giving up and saying, fuck it, this is like a bad test pattern.I scored a 102. I'm Forrest, Forrest Gump.

You are right. I dont even try to make grammar or punctuation too correct. I could but in this digital age spelling errors and grammar dont apply. I also know I mispell words a lot but just dont care because if you can read it and understand I guess correcting it wouldnt change the point.
But then again I hate it when some tries to ask someone claiming to be smart or have a high IQ how far they went in college. It is a proven fact a lot of true geniuses dont even finish college and many drop out of H.S.
Its annoying to be taught the same crap for 20 years just to have someone tell you you pass and hand you a piece of paper. This is also why I never try to say anything that would make someone feel lesser or belittled. That is wrong and for years in school I got crap for being smart...same thing kinda in reverse. Had to dumb myself down to fit in. Never raised my hand to answer ?s
You know darn well how other kids treat the nerd and person who is the all knowing straight A kid in class. That kid always gets more shit than anyone being corrected for grammar or spelling.
Maybe thats why many true geniuses say fuckit im out and go about their own life to get away from inferior minds. Same way as some people who feel a little picked on for dumb mistakes feel like smart people are assholes.
Its true on both side of the coin. Smart people make dumb people feel dumber for mistakes and dumb people make smart people feel like nutcases for being smart.

IQ does not tell you how smart you are. IQ is the measurement to rate your ability TO learn and how you adapt to situations and learn from them.

 

[bluewizard]

Thats funny, I skipped from 3rd to 4th and 5th to 6th too, I was a 16 year old HS grad....Well I should have been. I dropped out.
I should have finished HS instead of dropping out as a straight A senior...I should have went to college instead of trying to do it all on my own with no formal education...mainly self educated which makes you a good jack of all trades over a lot of topics but a master of none...
But at least I make decent money and have no college loans to pay back....haha suckers.

What's even funnier is I too am a highschool dropout. I guess it's not really FUNNY but for the sake of conversation...

Personally, I disagreed with the motives behind my curriculum and loathed being 'taught' by people who would just regurgitate other's words, expecting me to conform to their version of the truth.

By the way, even before being tested in grade two, my parents had to move me to a different school because I thought my teacher was an idiot. I wasn't pretentious about it like that, but I was certainly aware that she was holding me back and I was pissed. The teacher I got at the new school was the one who recommended I be tested. If it weren't for her and a teacher I had the following year who skipped two grades like you, I wouldn't be the who I am today.

Anyway, I'm going to read the rest of this thread and come back...

... and i'm back!

This thread is amazing. misterdogman, i agree with and relate to almost everything you say. i don't want to ego trip but my two younger brothers are also very intelligent (in differing ways than each other and I), so I've got to some from good genes. but like plants, good genes are less than half of the equation. my parents did an amazing job raising us (i partially attribute this to the fact that my older sister is mentally and physically handicapped) and we all lucked out in the early, most formative years of school with really good teachers. nature AND nurture.

Do i think high intellect is a good thing? yes. have i used it to it's full potential? no. do i feel guilty about this? no. I'm used to people being amazed at how much i know or how quickly i learn, but more often than not they follow it with "you should be doing this_____" or whatever it may be. FUCK THAT SHIT, and fuck them assholes. just because you're hung like a moose doesn't mean you gotta shoot porn. I do what i want, when i want, why and how i want, and for one simple reason; i don't owe anyone shit. i would rather die knowing i lived to serve my own purposes and die happy. my buddy put well when he said 'you can't take it with you anyway, so why stress over it'.

Nah man your Stoney McFried, not forrest, your cool for your own reasons and like I said I bet there is your subject, your field, your thing that your smarter about than a lot of people. Some people dont like certain things... like me and math, just dont have a desire to learn it,

maybe because I deduced at a young age nobody else around me is trying to figure out what Y equals over several points curve in a vacuum after minusing x
and shit like that...who cares unless you have to know that equation for something...

Lemme guess your either musical, a poetic person or have a knack for something similar that IQ has NOTHING to do with...

Believe it or not IQ dont measure some aspects of brilliance, many autistic and retarded people musically run circles around geniuses...
Funny but true, but some smart people like me again cant grasp some aspects to music. Its believed to be because the way the brain works, some very advanced genius people would rather analyze the music and whats involved rather attempt playing...or learning to play. Geniuses are also notoriously messy unorganized and unkept, guilty again...brains too busy to care about that crap, Id rather invent something...

Theyll build a better working guitar but couldnt play it in essence. Some can do both but cant ride a bike, you know its what your wired to learn and love. So rethink that and tell me what your talent is because we all have several...regardless of IQ.

 

[Stoney McFried]

I hear you on the math.I got stright A's in school, but I'm pretty much a seventh grade drop out.School was nothing but doing time for me.I'm good at useless information, and I can sing.There's more, but, eh, who cares.I was measured at 126 on another IQ test, and 118 on another.So who really knows.At least I can tie my shoes and wipe my butt!

news flash: primary and secondary school grades don't mean shit.

I scored 160 on an IQ test is 10th grade but am most certainly dumber now. I would attribute my decline to chronic ethanol exposure, 12 years in the Air Force, and the steady hammer swing to the head sensation that comes with stable employment of 40 hours a week. I would now estimate my IQ to be about 76 although for reasons I can't explain I think it has been buoyed to 78 thanks to season 4 of American Idol.

Thats pretty effing funny, made me laugh first thing this morn...lol. I feel the same way... mostly dumb... thanks to the mundane daily chore of maintaining the rat wheel...I was tested several times in school ranging in scores similar to yours, but whether you sscore one time at 160 or 150 or even several times at 154 162, 158 163 ..

whatever the NUMBERS say most of the time you feel like cutting it in half...especially in society around other people. Maybe its due to the feeling you get from trying to believe in scores, they really mean nothing unless the spark to use your potential is ignited. Id say from my similar love of ethyl spirits and herbage and other things ive ingested and smoked and absorbed make me feel less than ive scored,... to but that motivation can come from your surroundings and you start to copy dumb people around you...dumbing yourself down to fit in like most smart people do makes you feel like an 80...lmao.

Snuffed intelligence... just to still end up equally following everyone around the bend and into the great herd of sheep...no matter what scores say that is the typical result....sad but true.

There was a real interesting guy named Williams James Sidis who tested off the charts (IQ of 250) but failed miserably in day to day life, was called the "april fool" in newspapers. He later went on to do some very interesting and original writing in the privacy of seclusion after public interest had faded. I doubt he used marijuana and if so only for medicinal purposes. He also swore off poon tang which I find incredulous but this seems to be a hallmark of some of the greatest minds of our age. I guess the little head can contaminate the thoughts of the big head

yeah nathan leopold was supposedly a genius with a 210 or so IQ, it dont mention IQ in this wiki but I saw it on the history channel so who knows...but he turned overall into a massive failure for planning and murdering a little boy with his friend loeb...

sometimes, well actually, usually, being a genius is anything but a blessing.
to easy to accept not using it and or using it for nefarious reasons

The Massive List of Genius - People With the Highest IQ - One Man’s Blog
This site is pretty good...its interesting to look at the iq of historical figures but it makes you wonder how they calculate it...
anyway this is a quote from the guys blog and i think it's pretty good in summation of an Iq's worth...
"I’d like to stop for a second and inject a little philosophy before we go on. I have absolutely no respect whatsoever for intelligence. I only respect people for their actions. So no one should envy or emulate people on the list that follow because some of them are miserable human beings (like this narcissistic guy). Take Bobby Fischer as an example. He’s the biggest A-hole on the list, and I’d like to kick his teeth in for his comments about Jews and America"

Also George Bush's IQ of 125 is higher than GW's and I mean George Washington who is estimated to have had a 118 so...
but then again I've seen Da vinci's estimated at 220 and Newton who was and is an obvious genius 190 so I think it does represent ability to learn to an extent and unfortunately that extent is not a constant so things can't be observed like it is a valid experiment. Also cultural differences can cause a handicap.
