Individuals with IQs above 140 don't usually brag about their score. They know that, socially, they have a lot more to lose than gain. However, individuals with IQs above 140 are fairly common the higher one moves up the cognitive food chain (and if it runs in one's family). I'm pretty sure the average IQ of PhD-level physicists and philosophers is 140. What I find more interesting is there was a study that tested the IQs of run-of-the-mill university math professors against the IQs of prize-winning mathematicians. The scores were well within, and overlapped, each other; practically, no difference. What this suggested was that, ceteris paribus, there are factors apart from what is measured by standardized IQ tests which help to explain success in academic mathematics. For example, motivation, stamina, focus, stability, imagination, synthesis, fluidity, and other things.
I know guys who won many titles in elite international math contests, currently pursuing their phds in places like Oxford...
... most of them didn't pass the test to Mensa.
If you have high IQ you understand that being able to solve logic puzzles that involve finding patterns is only one thing on a long list of abilities you need to possess in order to become succesful scientist in any area. You also need imagination, ability to understand abstract concepts fast, ability to just think fast in order to get fast deep down in the tree of imaginated solution you are thinking about, perfect short term memory and list goes on. Most of these things are NOT tested by any IQ test and there's no fucking way to measure them.
I would divide people to groups of dumb fucks, average joes and intelligent guys. I claim that any further distinction in these groups is fucking impossible.
That being said, tbombz is just a dumb fuck, period.
