If somebody has an IQ of 150
If somebody has an IQ of 150 at the present time, is this how he sees the world?
shareIn some ways, yes I do. That and a lot of shame. And a little bit of frustration to not be able to talk on the same plane. And I can't do anything that would affect my Karma, I don't want to come back here anymore.
shareConsidering your username and comment history, you seem to be quite much on the average plane. Communication difficulties are usually caused by something else than a high IQ difference of the individuals.
shareConsidering my username and comment history LOL.
come on, I already broke this wall, I'm so way ahead.
You know, sometimes we come to a point that we don't have the need anymore to prove anything.
However its obvious that you are trying to prove something. If you really were that smart you wouldnt take by a stupid IQ test. Why do I think its stupid? Well my IQ is around 140... I know a 150 something who look up to me for advise and it is implied that on a day to day basis between the two of us I'm the one who knows what I'm talking about. But dont take my word for it.. Stephen Hawking is a 160 who thinks IQ is for "losers"
To answer your question.. Neither I, nor the 150 I know are that far ahead of average people...we do feel a sense of superiority complex, but i felt that long before taking an IQ test...I'm not that far ahead. On a bad day Id totally lose an argument to a 100-110 person.. I'd say the 150 is even less sharp in social situations but scores higher in exams etc
Bro, quit your mental masturbation
Your IQ is not around 140. Your moronic writing style is the first clue. 140 is the "genius" threshold. Every *beep* on the internet claims to have an astronomical IQ, obviously not realizing what the numbers actually represent.
You either:
A. Made it up (most likely scenario). It's like 40-yard-dash times in football. Idiots love making up 40-yard-dash times for various players. "X player ran a 4.1 40-yard-dash!!!" No, he didn't, you lying moron.
or
B. Took an "internet IQ test" and thought that was a real IQ test.
My mother is probably one of the best writers I know, and I grew up around Pulitzer winners, yet she is no where near one of the smartest people in my life.
Her intelligence and possible correlation with her writing ability brings up a humorous anecdote. She's one of those types of people that always tries to assert her intellect and cultural experience, and, as it so happens, my father was accepted into Mensa. She was not. It drove her crazy, figuratively of course.
My father is a very laid-back type of guy. He's a very blue-collar man; grew up impoverished and in a large, Italian family. If you met him, you wouldn't be able to tell right off how intelligent he is, whether in speech or type, but he was indeed a card-carrying Mensa member.
My own IQ could be average or well below that, or I could qualify for Mensa, Prometheus, or even Mega, and you would never know it through the internet. It doesn't matter how I write or what I claim my IQ to be. Hell, I culd nurmaly type lik dis on teh utubes... and would it really prove anything either way?
Let people make their claims. Odds are incredibly slim that the claim is true, but you would never know for certain anyway. It changes nothing in the end.
Your father may be a self-effacing genius. But those who are truly intellectually gifted can't help but learn. They don't come across as bumbling idiots when they actually express themselves.
shareNot incredibly slim.

Yes, incredibly slim. Less than a 1% chance that the troglodytes you are arguing with on the internet are in the 140+ IQ category as they claim to be. You have to read the chart correctly. What the chart is saying is that according to the 15 SD (e.g. Wechsler) and 16 SD (e.g. Stanford-Binet) scale this is the following information:
15 SD Scale
At an IQ of "140" 99.6169574875% of the population is accounted for (that means that roughly only 0.3% of the population has an IQ of 140+) and the odds are 1/261 that a person would have this IQ.
16 SD Scale
At an IQ of "140" 99.3790320141% of the population is accounted for (that means that roughly only 0.6% of the population has an IQ of 140+) and the odds are 1/161 that a person would have this IQ.
To put the odds in perspective...
1/7 to develop prostate cancer (men)
1/8 to develop breast cancer (female)
1/33 to be born with some sort of birth defect
1/68 to be born autistic
1/167 to be born with two different color eyes
1/3000 to be struck by lightning
is it over 100 ?
we are all gr8 at something . i know music but not sports.
A genius who can't tie their own shoes is no genius regardless what his overrated IQ score is.
shareIf you truly have an IQ of 140 and don't see a difference from the average Joe, then you do NOT have an IQ of 140.
I would suggest your math skills are too low to figure out your IQ especially if your friend with similar math skills figured his to be 150.
You truly do not understand the Intelligence Quotient if you think that a 140 IQ person would lose an argument to someone with an IQ of 100. A high IQ is often matched with social ineptitude for a number of reasons, however being able to articulate an argument would not be one of them. I'd put you about 40 points off on the estimation of your IQ.
I think it depends on your evaluation of "losing an argument."
My IQ is above 150 and I went to a special school for students with genius-level IQs. The minimum IQ for entry to the school was 135 -- just above two deviations above the norm --and those were the "slow" kids.
I dropped out of the school; I was miserably unhappy there. I am a polymath, and in my high school days gifted-and-talented educators were trained to push science, and did not understand the unique needs and problems of multi-talented kids.
I have "lost" many an argument with a person of lesser intelligence. Sometimes it's due to my not having sufficient information at my fingertips (when was Stan Lee born?); other times it's not having sufficient interest in pursuing the argument (which is better: X-Men or The Fantastic Four?) Sometimes it's that more than one conclusion is possible (Was Jane Austen a proto-feminist author?)
My roommate in college tested in the 120 range, and she was one of the smartest people I've ever known. She was a tenacious arguer, aggressive and fierce, and though she knew nothing of Derrida or Lacan, she knew political history cold and never backed down from a fight.
Wow! Some humility. How refreshing. i wish i had a "high iq". Im a reasonably intelligent person my memory is horrible! I might have undiagnosed a.d.d.
shareNo time for punctuation out of my way genius coming trough
shareOn the Internet, I've noticed that virtually everyone who claims an IQ for themselves tend to assert that it is an absurdly high number (usually in the 150-300 range). The quality of their writing usually suggests otherwise.
I don't know where they're getting these numbers from, but my hunch is that they either stem from dubious Internet tests or are just plain guesses. The Dunning-Kruger effect suggests that people of average-to-low intelligence can't tell that Internet tests are dubious, and even without tests, they'll vastly overestimate their own intelligence.

300 IQ..
Is that even possible?
300 IQ..
Is that even possible?
Statistically, the highest IQ possessed by any living human should be about 192. I say this on the basis that they should be about 6.1 standard deviations above the mean. That's not a hard ceiling, though, and there have existed people whose IQ's were estimated to be 190 - 210.
However, an IQ of 300 is more than 13 standard deviations above the mean. This should not be naturally possible unless the world's population were somewhere in the quintillions, roughly. It would be much more realistically achievable if said person were plucked from a non-normal population, for instance if their IQ were artificially raised by breeding, drugs, surgery, or whatever sci fi scenario.

What about William James Sidis? share

Huh huh huh...you said hard.
I am curious to see what would someone think of my style of writing.
Lets see if people will make good guesses!
I believe that I am very intelligent, above 150 or whatever intelligence is there that is more rare to find. When I was younger because of emotional abuse from some members of my family, I wanted to take the test and I score at the age of 15 around 145, it was from a book and supposedly a professional one, not an online one. I drop out of school and came back to finish it, I went to university and drop it out as well. Today I am financially independent working for myself. I don't make millions, I really don't need millions, but for sure I enjoy my life a lot!
I was always a bad student, I couldn't read, but I like researching, and even though I have spend lots of time reading many articles I cannot write properly.
Internet scores depends my mood used to vary from 115 up to 140, and I have tried the Mensa and another type of test which I found stupid. Someone with higher intelligence doesn't necessarily knows all politicians from Russia or the Kings from Sweden. Real Intelligence cannot be measured only by how much you know historicaly or math that I have forgot over the years, because I am not just a computer, I don't just sit all day reading and gathering specific school educational info, im not a warehouse!
I am a person, I read and I make connections, conclusions and I create.
No IQ test would ever be able to measure the creativity skills of a true genius or a person who is able to connect different random things and make sense or make a point.
As you can see my English grammar is very poor, but the content is whats important. Many people over the internet have picked on my poor grammar missing the point, the essence. If those people believe are smarter than me, Im sorry they are certainly NOT. I would even dare to say that even "real" professional IQ tests can be false and those who score 130 for example might be overly a much lower intelligent human being. There are some pretty dam dam idiots working as CEO or as professors in colleges and they do more harm than good.
Can you guess why i have hard time writing things?
I agree with Stephen Hawking, IQ test the way it is designed is utterly stupid and for losers, when I realize this years ago I lost interest on IQ tests, I didn't need them anymore to prove to me I am well above average intelligently, I know I am.
The movie makes some very good points, something that I see from my generation (I am 32) and younger generations. This is how I see most people, many things that many people enjoy or their arguments hurt my brain and insults the concept of LOGIC and CRITICAL thinking my ancestors came up with! Sometimes I feel like I am talking to a wall.
There is a decline, but I am not sure if it is because of genetics or because of the western living. We eat junk food because it is cheap, we hear junk music and a huge % of the population right this moment is watching some pretty junkie sex porn over the internet and they call it "normal" and "cool" and whatever slang they use (and I m pretty sure most of you guys will defend it with some pseudo scientific mambo jumbo crap and some of you will even try to logically prove the benefits, and here we go again!)
and there is no government to protect or regulate those things.
if this continues this movie will be considered as a prophecy to the next generations.
I believe that many people can become a lot smarter, the key if to follow your instinct and filter the crap from the good and change yourself for the better.
Our survival instinct can help with this because survival is not Rambo in the jungle, is also the instinct of creating a life of better quality so you can pass this on your kids and to create a positive legacy for the next generations.
So far, the legacy my generation will leave is : Britney Spears, porn, McDonald's and WOW.
from the younger generation is Bieber.......God Help Us All!
I AM THE ONE WITH THE HIGHEST I.Q. AND A TWELVE INCH COCK!!!
shareI know exactly what you mean. People nowadays do not understand what "intelligence" really is anymore. Worse yet, they confuse it with certain language mistakes (grammar, punctuation) that are unrelated to the message behind it. Creativity, logic, reasoning, etc are the true "variables" that should be used for defining creativity, but because creativity is not a numerically quantifiable thing, you just can't measure it. I've taken random IQ tests on mensa and didn't score highly, maybe the upper end of the standard deviation, but I've never felt as though that is a true definition of a genius, especially when art is also part of what defines a human genius to me. It's the most frustrating thing... I am happy that there are some people out there that still are "enlightened".
The internet "tests" say I'm like 120 - 130, but I've done most of them drunk just for the kick of it. Don't think they are of any actual use, plus many don't take into account emotional quotient.
Was tested when I was a kid but they never gave me the score so I don't really know, was tested twice though, thought it was strange but without actually getting results who the hell knows.
Even if I was slightly above average I don't really feel it, nor do I really want to. My personal observation, most people are dumb as rocks, with any interest in any math, science, or just anything beyond cars, blondes and sports being *beep* rare.
I know a few people that are truly smarter than that and we talk about *beep* everything and we just love it when someone brings something to the table we have so far established was the truth and then we check out the evidence and sources and just argue about it and it is a truly satisfying feeling when you're proven wrong, allthough and you have a new way to look at your new reality.
But the majority of people I know are just so boring, how many *beep* times can you mention her hot rack.
YES IT'S *beep* HOT BUT WE HAVE PORN NOW PEOPLE.
I hang out with people like you too, and hell yeah, talking outside of what social norm conversations consist of is where people do real thinking. Real, creative, outside the box thinking.
shareToo true.
Also, you just knew this thread was going to turn into a "You're a moron and I have a higher IQ than you" type thing. It's hilarious.
Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in my Armpit One Midsummer Morning - Grunthos the Flatulent
Not saying you are, but I always love it when people who are most likely of average intellect believe they're good judges of who is and isn't intelligent.
They typically believe an intelligent person will hold the same beliefs that they do; as they consider themselves intelligent. In reality, it's typically the exact opposite. Typically highly intelligent people will be rather different from average people and will say things that the average person considers to be quite stupid.
Hence the quote in Idiocracy: "For the smartest guy in the world, you're pretty dumb sometimes".

LOL
shareI took an IQ test because my father is Mensa so I wondered if I have any of those traits. I scored a 144 and still dont know what the hell it means so I am in the dumbass high IQ percentile.
Bottom line....it means zero
