I'm at 145+.

I don't know what it actually is, just that I was off the chart. I did an IQ test as the educational-psych/teacher running the G&T program put us all through an IQ test early in the program (for being over 130 for eligibility I am assuming, after us being nominated by teachers. That or it was a part of research). I maxed the test out at 145 or 150, the test couldn't measure higher than that, or at least didn't do so without supplemental material (it's more likely that it was 145 that was the max, as that is 3SD's above the average). And that's with my visual-spatial skills being utter shite and presumably dragging the score down. With IQ quite static after the age of 6, and the test being done a fair bit later than that I therefore know that I am at least that intelligent, but how much more I cannot say.

What is it like?

1. I got fucking lazy. Ended up dropping out of school actually.

2. I communicate but then steps that seem obvious to me need to be broken down in what feels like painful detail for the listener to understand, they've not made the leap I have. It is also a struggle to restrain myself and use fewer subordinate clauses and parentheses when writing. My natural style is to add a tonne of them and have this big long run-on sentence.

3. You end up reading and thinking about dissident ideas. I see a lot of people here responding that they are gifted. I believe it. Not everyone. But more people than average and from their comments, I have some pretty good guesses as to who. The pattern-recognition and starvation for engaging conversation has you ending up reading and pondering things like the stuff on slate star codex or moldbug (back in the day) to start with and sliding down into other stuff from there, and then exploring the ideas of great men of old. That sort of stuff would start at least 120+ I imagine. Those of us here are the racist, sexist, homophobic splinter group of a splinter group of a load of pattern-recognisers and autists. It's not implausible that there are more gifted people here and in old /pol/ than elsewhere.

4. On a related line, you end up exploring esoteric or niche theology. It's not enough for you to just read the gospels and go to your nearest church on a Sunday, oh no. If you don't go off the deep end, you have to at least engage with and resolve the filioque to your satisfaction ensure the orthodox don't have it right, and determine which of the Nicene creeds you are happy to affirm before then going off and reading some Aquinas, then seeking out the Latin mass or the ordinariate orsomething. I'm not saying all will, or that all of those are all that niche. I am saying that I think that there is pattern to explore this stuff further and deeper and to be a bit weirder about it than Joe-Sunday when you're at 140+ or so.

Can you pick up any book, read it, and understand the gist with minimal repetition?

You mean people repeatedly read the same thing?

Can you infer solid and accurate conclusions based on a small amount of evidence?

Did so today and impressed the boss yeah.

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?

Hard to say given the laziness. Yeah you end up with a broad knowledge and understanding of a load of things. It's more I end up using that other study as a procrastination method. You read some economics for fun.

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.

I'm great at pulling things from ages ago? To my shame I don't have any great skill or flex. It's more just doing simpler things but with it needing far less effort. Remember how I said I dropped out? Well a few years later I need those scores for something, after I'd found something I was actually passionate about and wanted to learn, so rather than do 2 years of study I just rock up and sit the adult equivalent thing and score an equivalent 99th+ percentile score. 2 hours prep, that's it. Rather than 2 years of schooling. Which just rewards my bad habits and reinforces the laziness ya know?

Well, that's enough wanking myself off for my intellect for one evening I think.

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.

I'm great at pulling things from ages ago? To my shame I don't have any great skill or flex. It's more just doing simpler things but with it needing far less effort. Remember how I said I dropped out? Well a few years later I need those scores for something, after I'd found something I was actually passionate about and wanted to learn, so rather than do 2 years of study I just rock up and sit the thing and score an equivalent 99th+ percentile score. 2 hours prep, that's it. Which just rewards my bad habits and reinforces the laziness ya know?

Well, that's enough wanking myself off for my intellect for one evening I think.

I'm at 145+.

I don't know what it actually is, just that I was off the chart. I did an IQ test as the educational-psych/teacher running the G&T program put us all through an IQ test early in the program (for eligibility I am assuming, after us being nominated by teachers. That or it was a part of research). I maxed the test out at 145 or 150, the test couldn't measure higher than that, or at least didn't do so without supplemental material (it's more likely that it was 145 that was the max, as that is 3SD's above the average). And that's with my visual-spatial skills being utter shite and presumably dragging the score down. With IQ quite static after the age of 6, and the test being done a fair bit later than that I therefore know that I am at least that intelligent, but how much more I cannot say.

What is it like?

1. I got fucking lazy. Ended up dropping out of school actually.

2. I communicate but then steps that seem obvious to me need to be broken down in what feels like painful detail for the listener to understand, they've not made the leap I have. It is also a struggle to restrain myself and use fewer subordinate clauses and parentheses when writing. My natural style is to add a tonne of them and have this big long run-on sentence.

3. You end up reading and thinking about dissident ideas. I see a lot of people here responding that they are gifted. I believe it. Not everyone. But more people than average. And from their comments, I have some pretty good guesses as to who. Because the pattern-recognition and loneliness in conversation has you ending up reading and pondering things like the stuff on slate star codex or moldbug (back in the day) to start with and sliding down into other stuff from there, and then exploring the ideas of great men of old. That sort of stuff would start at least 120+ I imagine. Those of us here are the racist, sexist, homophobic splinter group of a splinter group of a pattern-recognisers and autists. It's not implausible that there are more gifted people here and in old /pol/ than elsewhere.

4. On a related line, you end up exploring esoteric or niche theology. It's not enough for you to just read the gospels and go to your nearest church on a Sunday, oh no. If you don't go off the deep end, you have to at least engage with and resolve the filioque to your satisfaction ensure the orthodox don't have it right, and determine which of the Nicene creeds you are happy to affirm before then going off and reading some Aquinas, then seeking out the Latin mass or the ordinariate or seeking out a traditional Dominican rite mass or something. I'm not saying all will, or that all of those are all that niche. I am saying that there's that I think there is pattern to explore this stuff further and deeper and to be a bit weirder about it than Joe-Sunday when you're at 140+ or so.

Can you pick up any book, read it, and understand the gist with minimal repetition?

You mean people repeatedly read the same thing?

Can you infer solid and accurate conclusions based on a small amount of evidence?

Did so today and impressed the boss yeah.

Hard to say given the laziness. Yeah you end up with a broad knowledge and understanding of a load of things. It's more I end up using that other study as a procrastination method. You read some economics for fun.

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.

I'm great at pulling things from ages ago? To my shame I don't have any great skill or flex. It's more just doing simpler things but with it needing far less effort. Remember how I said I dropped out? Well a few years later I need those scores for something, after I'd found something I was actually passionate about and wanted to learn, so rather than do 2 years of study I just rock up and sit the thing and score an equivalent 99th+ percentile score. 2 hours prep, that's it. Which just rewards my bad habits and reinforces the laziness ya know?

Well, that's enough wanking myself off for my intellect for one evening I think.

I'm at 145+.

I don't know what it actually is, just that I was off the chart. The test I did as a kid with an educational psych running the G&T program put us all through an IQ test early in the program (for eligibility I am assuming, after us being nominated by teachers). I maxed it out at 145 or 150, the test couldn't measure higher than that, or at least didn't do so without supplemental material (it's more likely that it was 145 that was the max, as that is 3SD's above the average). And that's with my visual-spatial skills being utter shite and presumably dragging the score down. With IQ quite static after the age of 6, and the test being done a fair bit later than that I therefore know that I am at least that intelligent, but how much more I cannot say.

What is it like?

1. I got fucking lazy. Ended up dropping out of school actually.

2. I communicate but then steps that seem obvious to me need to be broken down in what feels like painful detail for the listener, they've not made the leap I have. It is also a struggle to restrain myself and use fewer subordinate clauses and parentheses when writing. My natural style is to add a tonne of them and have this big long run-on sentence.

3. You end up reading and thinking about dissident ideas. I see a lot of people here responding that they are gifted. I believe it. Not everyone. But a lot. Because the pattern-recognition and loneliness in conversation has you ending up reading and pondering things like the stuff on slate star codex or moldbug (back in the day) to start with and sliding down into other stuff from there, and then exploring the ideas of great men of old. That sort of stuff would start at least 120+ I imagine. Those of us here are the racist, sexist, homophobic splinter group of a splinter group of a pattern-recognisers and autists. It's not implausible that there are more gifted people here and in old /pol/ than elsewhere.

4. On a related line, you end up exploring esoteric or niche theology. It's not enough for you to just read the gospels and go to your nearest church on a Sunday, oh no. If you don't go off the deep end, you have to at least engage with and resolve the filioque to your satisfaction ensure the orthodox don't have it right, and determine which of the Nicene creeds you are happy to affirm before then going off and reading some Aquinas, then seeking out the Latin mass or the ordinariate or seeking out a traditional Dominican rite mass or something. I'm not saying all will, or that all of those are all that niche. I am saying that there's that I think there is pattern to explore this stuff further deeper and be a bit weirder about it than Joe-Sunday when you're at 140+ or so.

Can you pick up any book, read it, and understand the gist with minimal repetition?

You mean people repeatedly read the same thing?

Can you infer solid and accurate conclusions based on a small amount of evidence?

Did so today and impressed the boss yeah.

3. You end up reading and thinking about dissident ideas.

I see a lot of people responding that they are gifted. I believe it. Not everyone. But a lot. Because the pattern-recognition and loneliness in conversation has you ending up reading and pondering things like the stuff on slate star codex or moldbug (back in the day), and sliding down into other stuff from there, and then exploring the ideas of great men of old. That sort of stuff would start at least 120+ I imagine.

Those of us here are the racist, sexist, homophobic splinter group of a splinter group of a pattern recognisers and autists. It's not implausible that there are more gifted here than in other places.

4. On a related line, you end up exploring esoteric or niche theology

It's not enough for you to just read the gospels and go to your nearest church on a Sunday, oh no. If you don't go off the deep end, you have to at least engage with and resolve the filioque to your satisfaction ensure the orthodox don't have it right, and determine which of the Nicene creeds you are happy to affirm before then going off and attending the traditional Latin mass or the ordinariate or seeking out a traditional Dominican rite mass or something.

Can you pick up any book, read it, and understand the gist with minimal repetition?

You mean people repeatedly read the same thing?

Can you infer solid and accurate conclusions based on a small amount of evidence?

Did so today and impressed the boss yeah.

I s any subject or discipline up for grabs or do you have to have a keen interest in a particular field in order to flourish?

Hard to say given the laziness. Yeah you end up with a broad knowledge and understanding of a load of things. It's more I end up using that other study as a procrastination method. You read some economics for fun.

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.

I'm great at pulling things from ages ago? To my shame I don't have any great skill or flex. It's more just doing simpler things but with it needing far less effort. Remember how I said I dropped out? Well a few years later I need those scores for something, after I'd found something I was actually passionate about and wanted to learn, so rather than do 2 years of study I just rock up and sit it and score an equivalent 99th+ percentile score. Which just rewards my bad habits and reinforces the laziness ya know?

I'm at 145+.

I don't know what it actually is, just that I was off the chart. The test I did as a kid with an educational psych running the G&T program put us all through an IQ test early in the program (for eligibility I am assuming, after us being nominated by teachers). I maxed it out at 145 or 150, the test couldn't measure higher than that, or at least didn't do so without supplemental material (it's more likely that it was 145 that was the max as that is 3SD's above the average). And that's with my visual-spatial skills being utter shite and presumably dragging the score down. With IQ quite static after the age of 6, and the test being done a fair bit later than that I therefore know that I am at least that intelligent, but how much more I cannot say.

What is it like?

1. I got fucking lazy. Ended up dropping out of school actually.
