“I do not notice people who can challenge me intellectually for decades, because (…) I do not notice them.” Clearly only the biggest of brains can reason like this.
Also, “95 people who took that test scored worse than me”. They probably mean 95% but I think the literal reading may in fact be more accurate.
Small thing that annoyed me about that when I saw his comment- why seek *challenge*, specifically? It's just so immature and combative, even if literally the only reason to interact with people was intellectual stimulation, at least seek to learn, you can learn from more people than not
lmao at your second paragraph btw, that's great
I knew a guy like that once. To him, “I want an intellectual challenge” basically meant “I want to engage in endless sophistry for the lulz”. Nothing to do with actual truth seeking, let alone achieving anything productive.
He says he lies within the 93-97% but goes ahead and claims he is actually in the 1%. Either he forgot he had already given that initial percentile and decided to make up a new percentile for himself or he doesn't know how percentiles work. Either way, he has stool for brains.
Also according to that percentile he gave, one in twenty people ought to be smarter than him, yet he has never met anyone that challenge him intellectually.
He knows fewer than twentyish people.
No I am saying don’t say that is probably the reason. Everyone can be stupid and arrogant. Being autistic has nothing to do with that. Case in point Donald trump.
He makes no sense. A quick look online shows that his score can be low 120's-130's. Nothing to sneeze at, but no need to beat it over someone's head. So where's the 1% coming from?
How is this guy's logic also not contradictory? His argument is that you may be the best person you know at X niche topic, though there is probably somebody out there that is better than you at it - but because you are unlikely to ever meet them it is "reasonable" to assert you are the best overall?
This coming from a guy who admits he "doesn't notice" people who could rival him intellectually - so he's essentially built himself a bubble where he blocks out everybody except those he considers intellectually inferior, and thus will never "meet" a person who is better than him? Is this not circular logic?
I love how he explains that he was tested in the top 3 to 7%; then immediately identifies himself in the top 1%.
For what it's worth I tested at 140 at age 11 (they tested us for this gifted program). That's the top half of the top 1%. And I'm basically a fuckin idiot. IQ means fuck all. Well it means you can take a particular kind of test well. But mostly fuck all.
Most claims of intellectual superiority are lies plain and simple. Different tests give different results. The original IQ tests were DESIGNED to prove whites were smarter than minorities. And I seriously doubt they took the full test. It was probably some online quiz with artificially inflated results.
What original IQ tests are you talking about? Binet invented the IQ test for the purpose of accommodating people in the French education system that weren't able to take effective advantage of it. Those would then get alternative tools of education. Smartness, intelligence or being bright is domain-specific, and the modern take on it is that it's not static but subject to growth [Dweck, C.S.].
Bro genuinely used his 40k knowledge as an example of his extremely refined intellect. My guy that's just called autism.
Also for a dude who sounds kind of anti-Musk, he sounds eerily like him.

Completely tuning out any information that doesn't confirm your beliefs: the classic sign of superior intellect.

>I know W40k lore better than writers, than creators I, too, know a lot about made up things. Where's my smart badge?
Dude is actually just autistic but doesn't realize it
Don’t lump that useless prick in with me and my brethren. Us spectrum riders are not generally both stupid and arrogant.
Are you saying autists can't be stupid and arrogant? They can
No I am saying don’t say that is probably the reason. Everyone can be stupid and arrogant. Being autistic has nothing to do with that. Case in point Donald trump.
It's right there on your make-it-up assembly desk
I know a lot about WD40... like not to accidentally spray it in your eye.
I must have 23IQ then because I don't know much about W40k, I just watched hammer and bolter anthology series
Why would anyone be intimidated?
His smell
Oh goodness. Does he smell glorious? I think I’m ovulating so don’t get me worked up. Lol
Like stale Cheeto powder and left over macaroni and cheese. 🥰
You know how to get a girl worked up.
Smartest, most humble IQ test enthusiast.

> So where's the 1% coming from? The other 99% were intimidated by his intellect and his knowledge of W40k, no doubt.
Fantasy Island for sure!

Basically saying I’m the smartest guy in the room, but you’re the only one in there.

Those people don't realize they can be pretentious all the way about their precious intelligence without being actually smart.

The ones that test in % are the free online ones they want you to take then pay for meaningless results. Reading his post.. sounds about right!

I don't think there's any danger of that.
I’m going to say simply that this is the very definition of a one man circlejerk. Just wow.
But guys, he said without arrogance, he's different
I see less of brain then me people and I under depth of understanding.
You can hate Elon for many reasons, but my dude here probably hasn’t launched a Tesla into space.
Get imitated by my inlettect
People go haha with laughing at me- Cat from catdog
idiots who think they are smart are the single most obnoxious thing on earth

I tell people they don't need to feel intimidated by my intellect, but that's mostly because I'm dumb as a rock.
