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.
@tippitiwichet it's just a number (and numbers are super cool & all, but it's just one of many...)
@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.
