160+ IQ. Ask me anything.

[160IQBrah]

You mean Mensa, lol. Your IQ is almost as ridiculous as your story.

No, I mean Mega, the 1 in 1,000,000 society. If you read their journal Noesis you'll see a lot of nonsense conflict.

Lol. Are you new to life or something brah?

People lie all the time even when there is no point. It's a psychological problem -- usually wanting to 'feel' like what you imposing. Think of stolen valor or guys who pretend to be rich.

This is very true. Even validation in anonymity can be rewarding. It's up to you how you treat my bigheaded claims.

how to get into prop trading op?

For the first I got contacted by someone in the firm who was interested because of my background. If you have a strong math/poker/investment background then they'll be a lot more interested, but my impression was that first contact usually works through personal referrals for the firms I dealt with.

I didn't end up doing it by the way. Being hooked on modafinil wasn't my thing.

Why do you take the english grammar so serious and relate it to the IQ. Maybe OPs native language isn´t english.


How were your grades in school and college/uni and what would you consider your mental strenghts? Also, do you even lift?

I'm english but clearly I could be better at grammar.

I aced most tests and essays I submitted without spending much time on them. I daydreamed a lot at school. I spent a lot more time pursuing my own interests and educating myself.

[Dan O Mac]

Probably not. At least not in the colloquial sense of "mental breakdown."



Elaborate?



130 IQ = 98th percentile. Statistically speaking, that is impressive. It just depends on what IQ measure was used, who administered it, etc. In addition, IQ needs to be understood in the context of what is reportedly measures.

IQ doesn't necessarily cause one to overanalyze things.

I think he's referring to the danger of latching onto unhealthy thoughts, which can lead to a cycle of negative thinking and contribute to the development of pathology. Not as much of a concern if one doesn't have ruminative tendencies, but very helpful if one does possess this specific cognitive vulnerability.

I guess I'm confused by this portion: Thoughts can be noticed but not followed or identified with. Does he mean to say they literally cannot be followed or identified with, or more of a "they shouldn't be followed or identified with"?

I can confirm, I am IQ.

I see what you mean. The former is a metaphysical statement that is not rooted in reality.

srs question op

can an aeroplane take off on a moving conveyor belt that is running in the opposite direction at the take off speed of the plane?

Mooji tells a nice story about our relationship with thought:

"A man has been taking driving lessons and can now tackle the main road. One morning, he is driving on the highway alongside his instructor and it begins to rain. The instructor advises the man to switch on the windscreen wipers, but as soon as the wipers start moving, the driver’s attention begins to follow them and the car is now swerving from side to side along the road. Other drivers begin tooting their horns thinking the driver is drunk!

‘Can we turn the wipers off? They are distracting me,’ asked the learner.

‘Keep your eyes on the road alone and the wipers will not distract you,’ the instructor advises.

‘I think I need to go at least to the slow lane,’, requested the driver.

‘No,’, says the instructor firmly. ‘Only focus on the road.’

‘I can’t!’ says the man frustrated. ‘My eyes go involuntarily with their movement. Could we switch them off?’

‘No. You must learn to drive with them on,’ the instructor points out. ‘Focus only on the road.’

‘But it’s too dangerous! I can’t keep the car straight!’ says the man.

‘No. Stay focused on the road only, ignore the wipers.’

‘But it’s too dangerous! I will crash!’ the man exclaims.

Other drivers are now shouting and swearing at the man, ‘Get off the road, you drunk!’

The rain is now torrential, and the instructor pushes the wipers up to full speed. ‘Simply focus on the road. Relax.’

The driver, although very anxious, trusts the instructor’s calm voice. Gradually, the car straightens up as the driver is somehow able to hold his attention on the road despite the wipers swishing at full speed. The driver relaxes; now there is no distraction caused by the moving wipers.

It is the same here with you. Focus on the road means to stay focused as the neutral observer rather than focusing on your thoughts, surrounding conditions or apparent problems. Remain as the observer. Don’t follow the mind flow. Keep the attention inside the awareness."

[mynameisuntz]

Haha, I understand the idea of thoughts and how they can be approached. I'm wondering your opinion on them. Are you saying we literally cannot follow them, or are you more saying we should not follow them (and thus simply observe them)?

Oh misc I <3 you so

[iainf]

Not sure if mirin or not OP. As a guy with an IQ in the low-mid 130s, I'm already starting to notice it's negative effect on me as I've grown older. The greater your ability to comprehend the world around you, the more you realize how depressing and insignificant our existence is - its difficult to explain beyond that, but it's a real thing. I was ultimately spared the social ineptitude that goes with a lot of exceptionally smart people, although maybe I'm just not smart enough for that to happen. For a guy like you pushing 160IQ, I'm sure you've taken on some pretty dark demons over the years. I'd advise you to do your best to just live in the moment and not over-think things, but that's just putting a wild animal in a cage. It's a gift and a curse; I hope it doesn't eventually drive you insane, OP.

[Cocothedog]

I took a series of IQ tests from age 9 to 17 and scored between 170 and 190 (sd 16).

Most IQ tests though fail at measuring depth of thinking and instead focus on speed. Being able to quickly recognize patterns does not equal to being able to come up with original and deep solutions to complex problems.

Stanford-Binet and Wechsler are good tests to measure IQs between 90-130 but beyond that point they are imprecise, since they might score similarly two individuals that on a more robust test might score 140 and 180.

It is well documented that beyond a certain IQ score there's barely a correlation between intelligence and career success. I remember reading somewhere that the threshold is around IQ 125.

Pick one.

Is your mother Asia Carrera? She rejected Mensa.
Is your father Christopher Langan? He worked as a bouncer.
I also scored 160 IQ once on an online test, am I smart?

“People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.”

― Stephen Hawking

Is this true? He also has 160+ IQ.

[MMada]

I dont care about your IQ. You are still a ******* OP.

Come on man, don't be mean. Just ask him questions!

Op, why are you such a *******??

[Condyle]

OP hasn't really been boasting in this thread. Rather than him being insecure and looking for validation, it seems that most of the other posters themselves have shown their insecurities by trying to put OP down instead of asking legit questions. OP created another account specifically to avoid bringing his ego into this discussion. He has nothing to lose and nothing to gain. Sure, high IQ might not mean much on its own, but it should still be interesting to know how his life differs from the average individual.

This is actually rep-worthy truth. I believe OP's claims, I think he is looking for attention but so do many people, so do I, we're human. I am interested in OP's experience, and I think the butthurt level ITT is too damn high. People seem to equate IQ score with claimed cock size or ego level. This says more about the other people than it does about OP. I think OP believes his experience exceptional because he is in an exceptional group of people, and OP is correct. Maybe OP underestimated the a$$pain from people intimidated by such things.

What is this wizardry?????

Hello

What area do you feel you IQ benefits you the most? I get so effing annoyed at the Sheldon character on HIMYM because he knows everythign abotu everything. Anyway, what are of knowledge unfolds for yout he easiest

When preparing food or cooking I do stuff like automatically calculate the optimum route to reduce distance walked (between the fridge, chopping board, oven, etc).

I think the most useful skill I have is the ability to keep extreme overview about the most most important priorities/tasks of a project. It allows me to get to the meat of what I'm working on quickly and complete my work a lot faster than others.

What does those iq tests consist of. I know one criteria is recognizing patterns. What else

Is spacial and kinesthetic awareness part of iq? I feel like you need to be smart for that but at the same time I know some athletes aren't the smartest either. And it can also be trained, from what I'm aware of you can't really make your iq higher

Kinesthetic intelligence (if you mean the ability to know where your body is in space / how to use it) probably doesn't correlate much with IQ past a certain minimum because fluid g represents so many different factors. Subsets measured in some tests like visual processing ability are probably more closely tied.

Yes, deep and complex solutions often require other things like hard work, learning one's field well, learning the tools of interrelated fields, etc. IQ is just catalyst.

Some super IQ person spontaneously generating ex nihilo deep insights, unexpected solutions to problems is rare. We just like the idea of it. In reality, major breakthroughs are usually the cumulative result of decades of hard work.

[woahhh]

tldr

What do you think of the validity of an IQ when it comes to intelligence? inb4 bias

[Swologist]

Wow stronk validation seeking. I got 130ish couple years ago from 2 tests and don't care. IQ testing isn't very precise anyway. You can have 200 iq and still be a *******. In fact I can bet my 8inch dink that you're a ******* anyway.

[Impregnator]

160+ iq on misc? lmao yea right.

i wouldnt be wasting any time here, i'd be on dat dere limitless conquering the world and vegas

[Virus4762]

After testing high I got a few 6 figure job offers in trading. Then I decided I didn't want that and went travelling. Currently I do some menial work to cover expenses and volunteer the rest of my time. But it's not due to any special sense of morality. I could care less about saving the world. it's just what I felt like doing. The last use of my intelligence was coming up with an organisational system for storing food and cleaning a kitchen for homeless people. I thought it was pretty good. But generally I don't use my brain much, I prefer living in a thoughtless flow state.
.

You went traveling over getting a 6 figure job? How long did you travel for? Or are you still traveling? I quit my job to travel but I was only getting 40k.
