People value intelligence and will apply that label to themselves even if it may not be true. It's a hard thing to measure though IQ does it reasonably well. To those who have a high IQ: what is it like? Can you pick up any book, read it, and understand the gist with minimal repetition? Can you infer solid and accurate conclusions based on a small amount of evidence? Is any subject or discipline up for grabs or do you have to have a keen interest in a particular field in order to flourish? What is something you are able to do that you know is because of your intelligence -- the proverbial 1,000 pound deadlift of the brain, if you will.
There is no point to these questions other than curiosity.
sure, but have you ever tried to get multiple 145+ IQ people in the room together? you're talking about a fraction of 1% of the population. rolling in those groups, half of them just wanted brain opiates (playing magic or other games with 30%+ RNG), and then some derpy data science shit for their day job. the others tended to have high sociopathic tendencies, not interested in working together unless they were the boss. those of us who are neither are basically functional autists.
Hey, we could easily be all three!
