About Freud and Nietzsche and all the sciencemen who were "brilliant" but never understood women, there is one simple reason. Women are not compatible with intelligence. (at least 99%) The smarter you are, the less youll understand them. If you are smart, advice: pretend you DO understand them.
@1111hola, you don't have a clue about what you're talking about. Women are very compatible with reason. They love to learn to use their head to think reason with. It just that they also want to be coodly girls with needs too.
If somebody is responsible for women's lack of reason, and most men too, it's the Gov't that banned predicate logic from the public schools. Democracy can't have people understand sentence logic. Then they would understand democracy is nothing but fallacious.
@Idol2011no It doesnt matter what schools teach you. If I only lived with what school taught me, in a 1rst world country I would look plain retarded. Americans tend to think that all their faults in knowledge and everything is due to the state's failure. Well I can plainly say I am amongst the most educated people in argentina, and I keep failing school, which is planned by the gov. It doesnt matter if school or enviroment doesnt teach you. what matters is if you teach yourself.
@1111hola, many of your points are valid and true, but you did not admit group thinking and mass brainwashing is an important reason we got a society is resting upon steal and share mentality. Of course I agree the individual is responsible, but we know only few people are strong enough to stand up against the prevailing orthodoxy. Thus, the attack must be directed against the schools for what they do teach and what they don't.
IQ quotients are relative..... so what if they have iq250 how does that benefit society? what have they done to improve society? did they come up with technology? no did they solve problems in physics/spacetime etc NO! its relative means nothing. They can prehaps remember things better or think faster then average joe but this does not make them genious such as Nikola Tesla, Mozart, Da Vinci etc....
@Ouija121085, no, extremely smart people do everything they can not to help society. We are running a pub, casinos or do other kinds of counterproductive work for easy living.

About 6000 kids in the US who test in the upper 3rd deviation fall through the educational cracks every year. I was once one of them.

However the 9 thousand or so kids who test in upper 3rd deviation who don't fall through the cracks usually end up with a totally different outlook....
While I am back in school pursuing degrees in computational neuroscience, I don't like learning in the classroom. I find school is mostly about socializing individuals which stands to reason after realize that by an large we are driven by irrational sub conscious forces and the cleverest of us only succeed in having better rationalizations explain our behavior in face of these powerful drives. It entertaining if frustrating to me that even institutions like a university...
are cheifly organized by these unconscious drives. But in the end who am I make a judgment, nature is far more clever than the best of us can intellectually grasp. So I surrender to being socialized and reap the advantages doing so provides to people like me. All in all I think doing research is more personally rewarding than playing internet poker, and slowly as I work my way up the ranks I meet people who aren't totally intolerable and completely stupid.
@PoorRichardSaunders, if you find a person with an IQ around 200 who are doing something truly productive for the benefit of society, check your premises. I assure you it must be an error with the test or the test result. Helping a society ran by steal and share- mentality is a clear evidence of an IQ far below 140. A extremely intelligent person would rather become a terrorist or a bank robber, stealing Govt's money.
Why do people give a shit about IQ's? In the long run it doesn't matter how high you score on a test it matters what you can produce in the course of your life. And look what most of these people did... jack shit.

I'm sure people would notice and note his behavior.

Yea that doesn't make any sense. Einstein has an estimated IQ of 160, as he was never actually tested... I know there are a couple of different scales, but the highest IQ ever recorded was Chris Langan's a former bouncer (you can find interviews here on youtube), and his was only 197 I believe-- it might have only been 189. I don't know where you get these numbers from but there just looney.

You say "...are all college drop outs who have never never produced anything of intellectual note." as if in order to produce something of intellectual note, one has to not only attend college but also complete it." I would say the truth is that most of our true visionaries, innovators and genius minds have been college and high-school drop-outs. Our schools indoctrinate young minds with modern myth and close them mentally into boxes. It's rare for a genius to survive this in tact.
@geoffstockton You are reading that statement incorrectly. Completion of formal schooling (or formal schooling at all) is not necessarily a pre-requisite to genius, e.g. Bill Gates (Harvard dropout). The pinnacle example is George Green (way above Ramanujan in intellect), a self-educated miller who, solely by having a subscription to the Nottingham Subscription Library, produced works comparable to Laplace, Descartes, Gauss, and Maxwell.
@HumanChemistry101 Yeah, anyone who's inclined to learn is going to seek it out and I really do think the majority of school situations are very counter-productive to the nurturing of one's true sense of intellect and creativity. School tried to beat it out of me, for sure. I was able to hold on to my creative thought process but not without fighting them tooth and nail and eventually dropping out.
@geoffstockton The richest people are not always the smatest or genius,s.In my opinion,Mark Zuckerburg is not a genius,anyone could have come up with the idea for Facebook,I don't know anything really about Microsoft,I heard BG stole the idea from somebody else,what I mean is these people are rich through being good businessmen more than anything else.There is a man called Simon Norton a maths genius who by the age of 3 or 5 (can't remember)had an IQ of 185.I think Da vinci was a genius.
@ThePackerOfFudge Well, at least I know how to properly punctuate a statement and spell correctly. School obviously didn't do you any fuckin' favors.
Tater took that OMNI test when he was hung over, flyin on a plane from Denver to LA.. Got 146. Shoulda took it a few more times so he'd be the smartest in the world. Wouldn't that be somethin? Smartest man in the world named Tater. Heh.

We're all trapped in a universe in which entropy will eventually cause particles to just separate and be suspended forever without the free energy capacity to combat that natural and spontaneous state, so what does it matter if you're slightly smarter than the current batch of humans.
i am not that smart and i don't get laid. but wtf is wrong with people. that is sick. every person is special. that smartest and iq "hunt" is ab-nor-mal.
@isp43 Re: “I get laid” (and @2degucitas Re: “just had sex”), everybody has sex, in fact 9 out 10 have sex and reproduce: real genius, however, arises when you are so sexual (possibly having too much sex) that you begin to ponder the morality and point of sex in the context of love, existence, and meaning in a vast and puzzling universe. Genius #1 pondered the moral implications of a hero simultaneously in love with four women. He had to turn to physics and chemistry to explain this.
@isp43 One of the reasons that Einstein (who kept a bust of the #1 genius in his study) is not ranked #1 is because he was dumbstruck by this problem. In his own words: "how on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a phenomenon as first love?"
In my opinion, the smartest person to ever live was either Leonard Da Vinci, Isaac Newton, or Einstein. I know these sound like somewhat cliche answers, but their raw creative genius really makes them stand out from the crowd. They weren't human calculators and they didn't have photographic memories, but their capacity for abstract thinking and creativity is incredible. I think that's what true genius is.
@ASwiftHippie Nikola Tesla was also incredible. He was able to create an universe inside his mind in which he was making his inventions. You should read his biography, it's spectacular.
Years ago, I took a few IQ tests where if you got all the questions right, your score was 140, my worst score was 130 and I've hit as high as 138. After failing 2 intense courses recently, and being told by my instructors that I was slow, I was wondering if it was possible I had gotten hit in the head or something caused my intelligence to drop so I took another IQ test the other day and scored 148. Why was I behind everybody else on my course despite probably being much smarter than most?
@gymguy25 iq tests (depending on the specific test you take) usually measure a combo of learned/ "common" knowlege and problem solving. as far as i know (not much) there is no real reason to call some one slow based on the their learning/ study habits, maybe your teachers were not teaching you in the way or ways that help you learn there are around four main learning styles and can be coombined in many ways. high iq means little to nothing,potential of intellegence would be better
IQ test are stupid. I mean, I have a 130 IQ. I can barely even do simple math like Trigonometry. Although, I guess I find writing and history stupidly easy.
What an indiviudal or person needs more than the hihghest IQ because such things can never really be tested is honesty & love in his heart for himself and his fellow man! True intelligence only comes from God! The rest is vanity!
What ignorant BS is this? Only the child prodigies could be over 200. Period. Anyone over 145 requires specialist testers. As for Subway...I must be a mere 100.
but in every documentry appolo failed to mention mr more proberly because americans are to bussy brainwashing their people into thinking thay are superior to the rest of the world when realy we are laughing at you. and dont forget russia if it wernt for the fact that they run out of money would of baeten you to the race . the fact that a good number other countries had put alot of knowledge in the appolo missions when america put alot of money in the missons and time and effert but was not alone
who ever is the smartest person thay shouldn't be judged by dumb americans who by the way have been judged as the dumbiest people on the planet. and before you come with the answer we carnt be dumb we went to the moon! dont kid yourselfs into thinking you were alone in that one. france britain and other countrys were involed for examle patrick more maped out the lunar landing and other contrabutions thay say without his knowledge it may not of happend.
It's actually impossible to get a score of 400 on a real IQ test. I think we should measure intelligence by achievements in science and engineering and not by some test or by a child's ability to say "pooooo". Seriously? I mean, some of these guys were super freakin' smart but I highly doubt that it's even possible to be 4 times smarter than the average human.
Many of these are frauds...and Hawking is a genius. More than half the people are frauds through fake IQ tests or were born before the first IQ test was formed.
Ever heard of the word "Reification"? Can your smart people paint like Picasso? We have computers for circus tricks, nor is there any such demonstrable entity as g, or general intelligence. So all this IQ talk is kind of...dumb.
So what test has been validated to accurately measure an IQ of over 150? Last I heard was that IQ above 150 is so poorly defined that there's no consensus on how to measure it and little meaning to the numbers resulting from any such test. Nowadays, numbers above 150 are mostly about vanity or publicity. Stanford-Binet tests used to yield higher numbers with poor reliability. I had the WAIS-II done, and ~15 years later I had the WAIS-III done, and they were within 2 points of each other.
@dcs002 Read "The Mismeasure of Man" by Stephen Jay Gould as the definitive debunking of the IQ-concept. Binet warned against making it an "Intelligence test" & look what they did. Very poor science. Pseudo-science actually. Savants are interesting but the notion of g is nonsense.
@sallymaggiespotty - That's my view on it. IQ may measure some facets of human intelligence but to say it's an "Intelligence Test" gives a VERY wrong-headed misconception IMO. Laymen and some scientists who have bought into the ideology around "IQ" seem to think IQ scores are to "how smart you are" like DBZ power levels are to fighting power or something.
Because a person is good at taking standardized tests or memorizing info for them is not the same thing as being "smart".
It's me. I am the smartest man on earth. And the rest of you are fucking idiots as evidenced by the current feild of Republican clowns running for President.
All IQ determines is how FAST your comprehend and learn things. You can have an IQ of 70 and be more intelligent then Albert Einstein, but it's just going to take a lot of determination.
@Javis586 That is not true. When you are doing a proper IQ-test (mine constructed by Mensa) you will find that everything feels really easy until you get a sequence of figures that feels impossible. There's your limit. However, I don't think you can easily equate being smart with having a high IQ. I'm saying this as a member of Mensa.
@SyncopatedProgress Read a dictionary. The average of all the official IQ tests I have taken, I got around a 110. That's only a bit above average, yet I aced my G.E.D. 100% at the age of 16 and recently just took my S.A.T. at 17, and most likely aced that too. IQ does not mean shit.
@Javis586 Good for you! We seem to be talking about two different things. I was talking about visual IQ (the standard ones) which has nothing to do with S.A.T. I was talking about the limits of ones IQ, not ones intelligence (which is a word that holds many definitions). In complex questions like these however, a dictionary won't be very helpful. IQ is an indicator but not a limit of how far a person will go.
Some of the dumbest people I've ever seen were "smart" people. It's like they were so smart they started drifting into some sort of common sense dumbness about everyday life issues. I've seen college professors and doctors etc spend 2 hours making a 5 minute choice on a zipper duffle bag because they tried analyzing it from 10 different angles.
what is so fucken special about pi? oh he could recite pi to the first billion digits well who gives a fuck he has a good memory that doesn't make him smart....
I've decided that it's pointless to bash on people just because they have an IQ of 300 while most humans score somewhere inbetween the 90-110 range. Maybe they really are as smart as they say and we're the ignorant ones thinking that only Aliens can score that high.
Grigory Perelman should be considered the greatest genius not for proving the Poincare conjecture but for rejecting both The Fields Medal and Millennium Prize. WOW! Yes I am not being sarcastic, that is the stuff of what really Übermensch should be like. Nietzsche would be proud of that
Responding to all four...Ishi's assessment comes to mind while viewing..."Smart, but not wise," absence of China, Arabia, India and wise men like Solon. Not being critical. Appreciative. Learned something here. Wondering about patterns of insight nerve growth factor, patterns these individuals have in common to be atypical; what opens the rest of us to these patterns. Gardner's multiple intelligences seem descriptive of the polymath--do you include Wechsler (WAIS) in your findings? Much obliged.
I do believe IQ has some correlation with intelligence to say the least. But to pin yourself to the number would be missing the whole point imho. I tested at 137 but to be honest I'm not that smart, I'm just the freaky pattern guy who sees things he shouldn't see or sometimes aren't even there.
Why would someone brag about being the smartest person in the planet without having contributed with anything relevant to society, or even been recognized as the best at whatever he does. Its just stupid, cocky and shallow.
well IQ has nothing with intelligence ask my stupid brother who is tested for 115 IQ and can't think rationally or logically in any way. Only dumb people thinks IQ=smart. Myself is tested for 145-146 but I don't care IQ tests are simple and just follows rules once you know the rules they are as simple as a extreme level Sudoku is after seeing the answer.
@AbelBlog - Why would you say that? A lot of comedians probably have IQs that "low" (89 isn't really "low", it's just the lower end of "Average") and lower. Not saying that to be mean, I mean a lot of comedians come from poor and un or under-educated backgrounds. The average American from 100 years ago had an average IQ around 89 or so.
@1m2a3t4t5 - Having an IQ of 89 doesn't mean you aren't smart, and IMO having an IQ over 115 doesn't necessarily mean you are smart either. A lot of doctors from developing countries probably have IQs in the 80s and 90s.
@OkInsanity You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of the IQ scoring method. The average score is ALWAYS 100. You just got pwned by an..... American!!!
@ultim4t32 That's true unless you determine the "world's" average raw score, and then compare the average American's raw score with it... How/with what test you can do it accurately is another story. I guess A86 relied on prejudice, but who knows what's the truth.
Can someone explain to me why people quote iq scores without saying what test they took or the standard deviation. I scored 148 on a mensa test. I think the SD was 24 which would make it 130 with an SD of 15. Is there one really common SD thats always quoted?
Stick them out in the wilderness (no one has ever seen / new objects), and see how well they survive... that would be a true iq test. 99% of iq tests prefer one person or another. Also, there are also people who are smart in other things such as athletics.
IQ =/= How smart you are. Your smartness also depends on how much you know about something.

School tried to beat it out of me, for sure. I was able to hold on to my creative thought process but not without fighting them tooth and nail and eventually dropping out.

@isp43 Re: “I get laid” (and @2degucitas Re: “just had sex”), everybody has sex, in fact 9 out 10 have sex and reproduce: real genius, however, arises when you are so sexual (possibly having too much sex) that you begin to ponder the morality and point of sex in the context of love, existence, and meaning in a vast and puzzling universe. Genius #1 pondered the moral implications of a hero simultaneously in love with four women. He had to turn to physics and chemistry to explain this.

In my opinion, the smartest person to ever live was either Leonard Da Vinci, Isaac Newton, or Einstein. I know these sound like somewhat cliche answers, but their raw creative genius really makes them stand out from the crowd. They weren't human calculators and they didn't have photographic memories, but their capacity for abstract thinking and creativity is incredible. I think that's what true genius is.

Years ago, I took a few IQ tests where if you got all the questions right, your score was 140, my worst score was 130 and I've hit as high as 138. After failing 2 intense courses recently, and being told by my instructors that I was slow, I was wondering if it was possible I had gotten hit in the head or something caused my intelligence to drop so I took another IQ test the other day and scored 148. Why was I behind everybody else on my course despite probably being much smarter than most?
gymguy25 3 weeks ago
@gymguy25 iq tests (depending on the specific test you take) usually measure a combo of learned/ "common" knowlege and problem solving. as far as i know (not much) there is no real reason to call some one slow based on the their learning/ study habits, maybe your teachers were not teaching you in the way or ways that help you learn there are around four main learning styles and can be coombined in many ways. high iq means little to nothing,potential of intellegence would be better

It's actually impossible to get a score of 400 on a real IQ test.

I mean, some of these guys were super freakin' smart but I highly doubt that it's even possible to be 4 times smarter than the average human.

So what test has been validated to accurately measure an IQ of over 150? Last I heard was that IQ above 150 is so poorly defined that there's no consensus on how to measure it and little meaning to the numbers resulting from any such test. Nowadays, numbers above 150 are mostly about vanity or publicity. Stanford-Binet tests used to yield higher numbers with poor reliability. I had the WAIS-II done, and ~15 years later I had the WAIS-III done, and they were within 2 points of each other.

@dcs002 Read "The Mismeasure of Man" by Stephen Jay Gould as the definitive debunking of the IQ-concept. Binet warned against making it an "Intelligence test" & look what they did. Very poor science. Pseudo-science actually. Savants are interesting but the notion of g is nonsense.

@sallymaggiespotty - That's my view on it. IQ may measure some facets of human intelligence but to say it's an "Intelligence Test" gives a VERY wrong-headed misconception IMO. Laymen and some scientists who have bought into the ideology around "IQ" seem to think IQ scores are to "how smart you are" like DBZ power levels are to fighting power or something.
Because a person is good at taking standardized tests or memorizing info for them is not the same thing as being "smart".

@Javis586 Good for you! We seem to be talking about two different things. I was talking about visual IQ (the standard ones) which has nothing to do with S.A.T. I was talking about the limits of ones IQ, not ones intelligence (which is a word that holds many definitions). In complex questions like these however, a dictionary won't be very helpful. IQ is an indicator but not a limit of how far a person will go.
