Having a high IQ is nothing special.
What you do with it, that's what makes a person's intelligence special. I got taken out of school and tested as a kid, 154, and did nothing with it. I feel like an idiot all the time because I see my mistakes happening in real time. That said, I can spot a smart bullshitter pretty easily.
Jordan Peterson has a high IQ. He's intelligent, eloquent, and he's a total moron. What he's chosen to do with it is make money money on people's fragile masculinity.
@lacuda I learned that a long time ago thanks to a friend with a PHD :)
IQ is mostly just a test at how good one is at taking IQ tests.
I test VERY well. Always have. Does not make me 'smarter' than anyone else.
@lacuda
He makes up so many excuses for himself for being a complete ass. IQ and smart are worlds apart for some people. Self awareness is very important in our make up. To see ourselves as others do can be humbling. We need that in order to be complete. Some can never rise to the occasion and look within.
