If you have to brag about your IQ you haven't done anything that shows it.
this is awful

DING-DING-DING!
And I even used to be in Mensa myself. Well, until they found out I was splitting a membership with a friend.
this guys is a "genius", BUT
1. lost his job
2. asks for help on letsrun forum
3. spelled 3rd as "thrid"
The trollmaster rates this as a 10/10 troll job.
Mention something that shows you have a high IQ and work ethic without saying it outright.
for example, I include my fide title on mine.
I have an IQ of 142 last time I was tested. Its more of a curse than a blessing. I went to a high school for gifted kids where the only admission requirement was an IQ of 130 or higher.
The root of the message is once you get to an IQ of 115 there is statistically no correlation to economic success. There are so many examples of super action orientated not necessarily intelligent people who are smashing successes in life. If I look at my classmates from the gifted high school yes there are successful Drs, Lawyers, writers, musicians, etc. but there are also some abject failures too.
Further as I learned in high school you need to be prepared for a life where you are constantly mis-understood. I am in situations daily where my mind is racing far ahead of the discussion and the thinking of the group I am with and when I try to say something I am often met with confusion. The benefit of the high IQ is I feel I often see around corners better than others but the negative is it can be really hard to communicate with people and understand / motivate them to go along with where you want to go.

I think you just proved what I said above.
Americans are separating themselves into IQ strata - high IQ people marry other high IQ people and produce intelligent children (since intelligence is very heritable: its r = 0.8). Hence, this leads to the creation of a cognitive elite class who do much better than the rest of society and live very different lives.
