Look. I don't like the slightly arrogant thing woven into what I'm about to say, but something I saw reminded me of the whole "high IQs are better than you" and what I personally don't see in those discussions. I'll tell you what. Those tests are biased as fuck. I have an IQ of 148 and I'll drop on you what those who have "proven" high IQs don't say.
@tippitiwichet IQ tests don't test intelligence. they test social standing. they were specifically designed to elevate white upperclass boys make women & POC & poor folks seen lesser. even the newer tests are steeped in social bias (my tested IQ is 162, but it's easy to fake that. it's meaningless)
@redenigma I'm still so tickled pink to find someone tested higher who isn't all arrogant about it, I love you. You are awesome.
@redenigma I do like being on an asymptote, It's cool to be a "bell end" but like, in a good way. Unfortunately, if I brag about it, my peers have no idea what the fuck I"m talking about.
@redenigma It might be a little bit wrong that I'm happy to find someone tested smarter than me who agrees with me, but I think I'll just roll around in the joy of it. For maybe until I go to sleep probably sometime around dawn. Tomorrow, sorry, but you'll have to earn the joy that people might feel through your posts all on your own, because I'll probably be sleeping. That's okay. Your posts are awesome enough to do just fine.
@tippitiwichet the one thing i enjoy most about "testing smart" is being able to tell people IQ tests are garbage without being accused of "just sour grapes" lol
@tippitiwichet it's just a number (and numbers are super cool & all, but it's just one of many...)
