Historically, I've taken a few tests and scored between 131 and 155, but I don't trust online tests as I'm convinced they inflate the scores to make people feel good about themselves so that they will buy the IQ reports. It is a business. Moreover, my variety of intelligence--a philosophical intelligence and ultralogic approach to life that transcends everything I do and think about--is beyond the measure of simple-simon IQ tests. But society has preconceived notions of what constitutes intelligence. For instance, sometimes when we have company over my Mom will inevitably tell me to get my Rubik's cube out and solve it in a minute for her guests. Personally, I regard this as objectionable as I don't think an ability to solve a Rubik's cube is any more telling of intelligence than a person with an ability to solve y=mx+b. The first time one does it it is an accomplishment, but to continue doing it in front of an audience is vain. On the other hand, a person who can read War and Peace and, upon reading it once, be in a position to expound on the novel in great detail and reflect critically on some of the core ideas of the book is much more telling of intelligence. I'm not sure about you guys, but I can sense my intelligence oscillate between my average intelligence and peak intelligence, the difference being highly influenced by level of concentration. Indeed, when all my mental energies are allocated into one area, I am very intellectually productive in that area. The trouble is that there are all these daily distractions, what normal people call life, that get in the way. As a result, I am about 98 percent average, and only 2 percent genius.

As a follow up to the above point, to minimize distractions I've prepared the following framework, which I will implement in September. In essence, the framework will be based on organizational principles. These principles will be based on a small circle of conditions that will dictate what ought be done and how my daily regiment ought be structured. The main purpose of this is to create a context wherein I can be as intellectually productive as possible. The two most salient principles are precision and effectiveness. In terms of precision, I will become time. My daily regiment will be so systematic, punctilious, and exact that one will be able to adjust one's watch merely by observing where I am on a given day. Thus, if I am on a particular street at a particular time, one will know I'm on my way to get coffee because that's what I always do at that spacetime. Precision will help create a very organized atmosphere, which for me has always been a precondition for productivity and effectiveness. Moreover, by systematizing nearly every aspect of life, comparable to military-life, and holding as many variables as possible fixed, I will be able to complete daily tasks on autopilot while allocating conscious creative energy to the program and my thesis. However, one would be correct to point out that the world is more stochastic than my model suggests, and there are countless indeterminate variables that can and will come up. Part of this is solved by the preparation of not just five or six contingencies, but thousands, and part is solved by an improvisation component that will be incorporated into my model. It should also be carefully noted that this does not exclude women or athletics as some may thoughtlessly assume. On the contrary, both will have their rightful place in my life, and both have historically had a postive impact on productivity for me. In effect, this is merely building on my old routine from undergrad, which allowed me to maintain 4.0s and finish in the top 4 in classes of 250, except this brings it to the next level.
