My IQ is 295 that's why follow me because I'm handsome fight me to see what you want 😼

No IQ tests can accurately measure that high. Elementary statistics can tell you why. Maybe, you can take such a course in high school, otherwise you'll need to wait until college.

I've taken AP Statistics. Yes, I know the reason why. Why are there claims of people having IQs of 180-230 then? 

 

Because people are fools.

So, you are over twelve. We've answered your question concerning mediocrity. 

However, to your credit, that's a little harsh. Your flawed binary put that label on you. Maybe take a course on logic when you finish high school. You clearly are not a genius, but you might still be above average.

Experience. Having taught college since the late 1980s, and hence having graded many thousands of student essays, I have a pretty good grip on the process of seeing the mind behind a piece of writing.

If you are an adult, your posts are singularly unimpressive. They are not so bad, however, as to suggest below average intelligence. As mentioned earlier, if you are twelve, there is a level of intelligence at work in posts that would seem impressive.

Here’s an idea. ASK SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN A CHESS WEBSITE.

I've worked with a number of true geniuses in the past, and not one of them (not one!) was fixated on being publicly recognized as a genius.

You don't know that. Those geniuses could very well have obsessed about being seen as a genius. They could have hidden their fixation from you. 

The ones I've known tended to work so hard that they probably didn't have time for doing their thing PLUS being neurotically fixated on recognition as a genius PLUS hiding that fixation from work-mates.

When you're smart (or strong, or skilled, or whatever) you don't worry about how people see you because you have nothing to prove.

If you're dumb, weak, unskilled, etc, that's when you, well, when you act like Trump lol.

I'd expect this from Pfren, but haven't seen it from Ziryab yet.

Not that I mind grin.png

Hard work allows them to develop their potentials into actual ability, yes. 

It might also be that geniuses march to a different drummer than the common ruck of humanity, and their internal creative impulses allow them no rest.

Then you're wasting your time on the forums, that I promise you.

I don't care about what people think. I want what is optimal for me to succeed in life. To beat all of you at life. That means having a high IQ. 

It seems to me that if you put as much effort into doing it as you put into talking about doing it, you would already have a Nobel Prize hanging on your wall.

Anyway, google a local psychologist or Mensa group and schedule an IQ test.

If that costs too much, maybe try a nearby university.

This. I wasn't looking at the length of your essays, not the innovative content, but rather the pedestrian claims that show no evidence of attempting to hide the obsession you hypothesize--a hypothesis that blueemu rightly notes has no evidence in support.

Dude, your twelve year old brain may be more nimble than that of an old man, but my heart cannot take the laughter you've provoked here.

It could have been true. Questioning everything is important. You should know that already.

 

Lots of things with zero evidence might be true. Most such things are not.

 

BTW, while you are bragging about your superior grammar skills and successful completion of many courses on logic (hard to know why anyone would take two), you might check to make sure that your tense is appropriate to your point.

Carl Sagan was fond of saying that it's important to keep an open mind, but perhaps not so open that our brains fall out.

One thing I like about chess is the parallels you can draw to general logical thinking.

For example a common beginner mistake is to play their candidate move as soon as they find something positive about it. After they get more experience they learn it's important to find all reasons to dislike their candidate move. Only if their candidate move survives the strongest criticisms against it is it worth playing.

So re: "question everything" I notice you use it as a throwaway challenge to the person arguing against you, but "question everything" is better used when a person points it towards themselves, the values and ideas they hold dear.

Rick Rosner...

In 1985, he scored 44 of 48 on Ron Hoeflin's Mega Test, a test described in a history of IQ testing as "a non standardized test put out by an obscure group known as Mega, supposedly the world's most selective organization of geniuses." A score of 44 of 48 represents an IQ of about 180. In 1991 he retook the test and achieved 47 of 48 (IQ 190). From 1991 to 1997, Rosner was editor of Noesis, the journal of the Mega Society. Rick completed Hoeflin's Titan Test and is the first individual to have answered all 48 questions correctly. He achieved an IQ score of 192 in the high-range IQ test Mathema by answering 13 of 16 questions correctly, as well as 190 on the CIT - Form 3E by answering 76 of 78 questions correctly.

All that intelligence, and he is the creator of the TV show CHiPs.  So a high IQ isnt everything.

I enjoy difficult problems... not that I'm necessarily any good at them, but it's always more fun when you figure out something difficult vs something easy.

Certain IQ tests may have some extremely hard questions, but somehow I doubt any harder than various frontiers in science and math.

If a person is fascinated with hard problems, I hope they can find a way to get into research. IQ questions can be answered in a day, and don't really benefit anyone, but problems solved in science/math can benefit society, and may take a whole career (or more) to solve. Doesn't that sound more exciting than an IQ test?
