hell yeah, I'm a mad genius!

Meh, highly intelligent people will vary in personality traits, reliant on nature and nurture.

Thank you, finally some common sense!

This is clickbaity stuff to make average and/or lazy people feel better about themselves. The really intelligent achievers in this world probably don't spend their days looking at this sort of thing. They actually apply themselves. Intelligence and talent are wasted without perseverance and ambition.

Intelligence and talent can still exist in washed up lazy losers.

Well that's an enormous load off my shoulders, since none of these apply to me.

Now I can get back to the painful ennui of standing just outside the shower each morning, thinking about death, without the weight & angst of high intelligence to unnecessarily complicate things.

Just like everyone else.

There is a difference between being.smart and having a very high intelligence. The very highly intelligent are emotionally different from the normal. The very highly intelligent are OE, over exciteable.

The video wasn't talking about IQ...

Except for the people that study intelligence, right?

OP, you are annoying and you are not funny.

Apparently, I am a dumb ass because the only one I got was that I am messy and I like chocolate. The advice given was to not clean up after myself.

 

[Icedream]

I'm not gonna call you a smartass.

I just noticed this was under Academics and Careers, LOL.

Oh, I wouldn't have noticed it myself, hadn't you pointed it out. Is it weird?

I was reading (for some seconds) about intelligence on Wikipedia. According to the article, intelligence has been defined in many ways. This is very interesting, one can be thinking.
And so I was thinking about these images that have text about different types of, I think it was intelligence?
So probably, many many traits can be linked to high intelligence, if someone wants to do that.

I'm acquainted with a guy who is very intelligent, most likely with an IQ of at least 140. He's absolutely brilliant at math and physics. But he hasn't gotten far in life, he's soon to be 30 and he didn't even finish high school. He only wants to do what he's interested in, and it almost seems like his intelligence has been more of a handicap in many ways. Part of me wishes he could just get applied to physics studies at university in spite of not finishing high school, he'd be a great asset. The potential difficulties of having high IQ are not often spoken about.

That's what we get for putting certification over qualification. That mentality is overtaking society, to everyone's detriment, except those who make money from selling those certifications.

We’re not even a type I civilization on the Kardashev Scale, so calm down everyone. Collectively speaking, we’re all pretty damn stupid.

So were Egyptians and Romans less intelligent than modern humans, The first agrarian societies less intelligent than the Egyptians and Romans?

I don’t mean to be a smartass, I’m just not convinced a civilization’s level of progress is necessarily a good indicator of its inhabitants’ intelligence.

This list isn’t a good indicator either.

When we’ve gained a much better understanding of the universe and ourselves maybe we can all flaunt our intellectual superiority as a species. We haven’t even found a working system to explain how the smallest of things and the largest of things work together. All I’m saying is even the brightest of humans have a very limited understanding of how most of the universe around us truly functions. We’re getting there but humans aren’t exactly the smartest offering in the universe. And if by some chance we are, then I’m very disappointed.
