People with high IQ's never tell you that. I work with guys who have Ph.Ds in advanced mathematics and physics and I've never once heard anything come out of their mouths about their own intelligence. Same goes for the strongest guys in the gym, never heard any of them ever brag about their lifts.
Sounds like this kid is just looking for some much needed attention. Perfect example of generation nothingness =)
I don't bring up my IQ for no reason though, or say anything in praise of my intelligence for that matter
Get me one quote where I brought it up for no reason.
It's normally along the lines of responding to a comment like "Matt C is so dumb" and with that I have no problem confirming my intelligence through standardized test scores. If someone is under attack for something, it is not unreasonable for them to provide evidence which disproves those attacks. It would be a different story if I was always bringing it up randomly, but that is not the case.
