Have you had your IQ tested?

It shouldn’t be shocking that the most socially awkward, low emotional intelligence posters with zero ability to have empathy claim high IQ scores. Throw in the stunning amount of Dunning-Kruger cognitive bias and outright made up numbers and you have LR in a nutshell.

Sounds as if you're just jealous of successful people in general. Anyways, if people do have these issues you mentioned, you shouldn't make fun of them or talk of them in a condescending manner. You should have empathy and try to life them up instead. You're trying to degrade people but ironically you don't display any desirable traits yourself, (at least in your post). Do better.

Also, no one really cares about some Dunning Kruger cognitive bias ideology you learned in a college class, especially when utilized amongst a bunch of blindly derived blasphemy within your post.

People have high IQs. No need to project an inferiority complex because yours is lower.

It sounds like having a high IQ must correlate strongly with narcissism, according to the posters in this forum.

Low IQ people are narcissists and sociopaths. They are also not those things too. This isn't us against them at all, but your tone certainly could incite that mentality as you show disrespect towards highly intelligent people. Don't expect them never to clap back when provoked. But I guess the best revenge is living well anyways. All the best to you.

I was in Mensa until they found out that I was splitting a membership with a friend.

My Psycologist's have made me take it several times usually decades apart the highest score was 137 the lowest was 122, they always say basically the same thing, that I score extremely high in some areas, but borderline retarded in others.

Are spelling and punctuation the borderline areas?

I have noticed a high degree of narcissism for people in the [130-150; SD 15] range. It tends to fade at higher levels when one realizes that what matters down the line is not the size of an engine that nobody sees but rather where it can get you and also how long it can s(up)port you.

In a word, you 5k PR is much more telling that your Vo2 max; don't get injured.

yes. i failed

To quote the late Prof Stephen Hawking: “People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.”

Nuff said

Boasting about anything you were born with is a sign of a loser, but to moan about people claiming high IQs in a thread that specifically asks 'has anyone had their IQ's tested?', is a sign of a jealous loser. Should only people with similar mediocre IQs to the OP be allowed to answer his question?

I must have been called an imbecile, dumb, retard etc. at least 500 times here over the last 5 years, and yet I've never 'boasted' of my IQ outside of this thread.

Mine indicated I was a borderline genius, which, of course, also means I am a borderline nongenius.

Bragging about one's purported IQ is indicative of someone w a vacuous and boring intellectual life

I tried taking an online IQ test just now after I finished there was one final question which was pay 1.99$ to see results. I didn't pay.

If it makes everyone feel better, if you score above 150, the likelihood that you are socially awkward or have a temporal mental disorder is at least 90%. I averaged 141 when I took it for my job. Five unique versions of the test, long and boring.

Most of you buffoons don't understand the IQ scale. It's generally irrelevant and not worth having tested. What would you do about it?

People with modest IQs can still accumulate specific subject area expertise. If I need to know how to do a home repair, I will ask a contractor and not concern myself with their IQ.

Similarly, I come here to read about running and the white power movement...
