yeah, when it comes to rocket science... but here's what I mean. Mine is high. I can't even mention what it is. I have lots of friends of all mental capacity. When my friends are under around 125, it shows. I can't get them to follow what I mean through certain conversations or concepts. But everyone I've ever met over about 125, in a regular conversation, they can all follow and add to ideas and conversations. They are competent and even excel at work. They can debate me and teach me things. So unless we are working on building a turbo-engine together, I'd rarely ever notice that our intellects don't exactly match. Sure there's a difference, but that difference in real life is hardly ever going to be highlighted.
I mean, can you tell what mine is? No. Because its sort of in many ways (not all ways obviously) all the same once you get up into the higher numbers. To me, anyway.
Stephen Hawking wasn't (my bad, I forgot he died) a rocket scientist. He was a theoretical physicist
What do you mean, you can't even mention what your IQ is? I've never heard of an unmentionable IQ
How many people have you met who have been administered an IQ test and told you their scores? In my entire life, I've known one person, who was a member of Mensa. The vast majority of people will never be administered an IQ test. They cost about $1,000. Anything outside of a professionally-administered test isn't a real test. An online test told me my IQ was 162, but that's meaningless. Again, throughout my lifetime, on real tests, I've consistently scored around 145
The Mensa member I mentioned had an IQ of about 130 (I don't remember the exact score) and there was a noticeable difference between us in real life that was always there
Of course I can't tell what your IQ is based on a handful of posts to a message board having nothing to do with spatial reasoning.
I'd be more inclined to agree with you around 160+ (perhaps because that's all I, as a relative Luddite, can appreciate). IQ scores are less reliable past that point anyway because there's so few people to compare to
Ultimately, ours are subjective opinions, so we can agree to disagree and perhaps agree a bit too
I never talk about mine. Its a personal choice, but I used to be open about it, and that turned out to be a BAD move, all the way around. It's not worth it.
I have known several who I knew their IQ because the official reason for mine was to attend a private school with a minimum IQ entrance requirement. Since then I have been in different advanced academic programs where sometimes your peers know their scores. I know my sister's score and was not allowed to tell her what it was or what mine was until we were much older. I have had casual run ins with people who knew theirs.
People below about 125 don't even usually know their scores because why would they. They had no reason to pay for the test or get in a research program to administer it.
The online IQ scores = I KNOW RIGHT. People say "Oh mine's like 125" and I'm thinking uhhhhh..... that wouldn't happen to have been an online test would it? they say yes, and you just internally laugh to yourself and mentally knock ten or twenty points off their supposed total, kek.
Since you are part of the top one percentile, I can say and you will understand, that life usually involves a lot of laughing to myself because no point in trying to explain... oh well. It just makes meeting peers that much more awesome.
We are frens now. I'm glad you replied. C ya round in latenight if youre still up, Imma go now and binge watch The Mentalist and do some dishes and catch up on the bongino and the Q-purge.
SHA-DI-LAY OLDMAN!
Spessing ---> stephen hawking ---> omg we would totally be rl frens, kek. I FUCKING KNOW hes a theoretical whatever. I was reading him when I was TWELVE. But I'm old now and just want to talk fast so I do a lot of retard-talk. Dis just how I talk. I LOVE that you corrected me. You iz kew.
