| Dating Someone With A High IQ
Posted: 5/12/2008 3:41:16 PM | To OP, dating someone with high IQ has little to do with anything but ego is the person IQ is the main topic of convo at the dinner table.
People with high IQ are good memorizers and good at analytical thinking, doesnt have anything to do with genius or ability for discovery.
Infact I view most university professors as complete retards, and most artists as the smart ones because they generate content vs. repeat systematically what is already known.
Einstein is only thought to have an IQ of 180+ because thats what people think, in reality it was 100-120 the national average for normal people. His creativity and imagination is where his genius lies.
This is why IQ is total rubbish, you cannot quantify a persons intelligence in any way shape or form because you will be disproven every single time. There will always be exceptions to the rules.
Ask any math professor what 1 + 1 is.. is it really 2, what happens if we think in multiple dimensions.. is it still 2 ?? in reality everything is an approximation, what is 1 a number can you define a number? according to frege who used a number to define a number or reciprocal logic a number cannot even be defined as of YET!... and you people are thinking high IQ scores make you smart.
I am going back to being a fool cause its a simpler life.. poohey to all your high IQ nerds.. btw my IQ is 156 according to the latest online IQ test ( who knows if this score is even accurate, its kinda funny cause it actually goes up everytime I take it as I fix my answers I started at 156 and go up to 163 then back down to 158) and I am no smart cat, I am a moron, I cant even remember to lock my car or lock my apartment door at night and forget where my socks are had a horrible time at school frankly hate it.. and still do at university because I am horrible at memorizing and need to do experiments to prove laws which obviously takes time.
Yet I can apparently do research blind folded and publish papers in a few days that would take most people 18+ months and a masters degree to accomplish.. I am creative, imaginative and think way outside the box.. I am not analytical I cant memorize anything and I dread systematic work.. yuck!
My true IQ is probably mental retardation at maybe 56 the 100 score is from my creativity.
Nobels hate school too:

I believe I am not alone..
Btw I have an idea to cure cancer... its too bad the current round of bio and medical nerds would scream bloddy mary before they tried my idea as they don't even understand me and probbaly wont till I am dead then they will be.. oo yes.. he was right ( Laughs).. even bigger fools than I am...
Also ... any of you IQ loving .. guys think people that are intelligent are "ALWAYS" socially inept thats a load of phoey as well... there are many cases myself included were so called High IQ people are extremely social this MIT-nerd-socio-stereotyping gets you no where.
The word intelligence itself not even defined correctly as it should be... a mathematical absurdity. Why because we still dont know what a number is!!! | |

Posted: 5/12/2008 4:04:20 PM | I've been tested and gotten scores from 150 to 160, and I don't think it means jack personally. I take more pride in being a well rounded person than being able to claim some hyper intelligent mensa nonsense. I've known too many people with such focused and narrow intelligence that I in no way want to be a part of that. I can cook, I can clean, I can rebuild an engine, sail a boat, raise a child, grow a plant, tell a joke, fit into social scenarios of all sorts. All of those things mean more to me. But for all my alledged intelligence my memory can be like a sieve, sometimes the simplest of things can ellude me, like online dating!
That said I I think I value intelligence as defined by creativity, a curious nature and some common sense in someone I date more than an IQ score. | |

Posted: 5/12/2008 4:25:35 PM | Ever notice someone really smart can turn something really simple into something totally complicated?
Thats because nothing is ever simple, infact the simplest things we take for granted are not even really whats going on.
We went to the moon without adding time to our physics... add time and space to the mix and you have all this M theory string theory crap and time traveling..
I agree with you life is simpler to not think, but some of us are just imaginative.
Gist! IQ has jack to do with relationships. | |

IQ tests measure your ability to score well on IQ tests :)
That says it all. If I were really as smart as my test scores, my life wouldn't have been such a mess. I can beat the tests; I couldn't beat what life's thrown at me. | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 6:23:46 PM | You can have the whole alphabet shoved up your arse half as backwards, next trip to the bath room have a look it's more than likely you have spelt some form of a word. Would you be excited, I bet you would, would you tell your friends I bet not. In other words you can pull down on the handle and your life won't change. But good for you, because you now have an IQ sore. This is a test for those that are so inclined with your high IQ's which won't mean sh###t to you because its all about common sense. | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 6:50:59 PM | Yes, and it's essential for me.
Spent time with a mathematician/physicist, an IT systems expert, and also someone with 1st class degree in computing science.
Positives: bright, can talk about lots of different subjects, have worked in similar fields (research, computing, science), can calculate and resolve complex intellectual problems, are usually widely read, eclectic taste in music (but that is not always the case with high IQ), capable of communicating concepts and ideas.
Negatives: insensitive at times, impractical, can always catch me out in maths, not good at DIY, work in on-call jobs, obsessed with work or not interested in it, obsessed with technology and gadgets, flawless logic, like to argue every point if in a bad mood -and they are hard to beat at it! | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 7:02:21 PM | Yes, I have. Most of the time, I am attracted to intellectuals and highly talented and creative guys. I don't know what their IQs are. But definitely, if the guy cannot carry an intelligent conversation, it is a big turn off. I don't care if he is Brad Pitt look alike. What fascinates me most nowadays is if they are handy men as well. 
In my profession, I have been associated with scientists and the like. At times, these guys with supposedly high IQ cannot handle a hammer and I have to do it myself.  | |

Posted: 5/16/2008 4:37:43 PM | I find smart sexy. And apparently some others do to. Don't ask me to dumb down. Its insulting and impossible. And intellect does not automatically exclude someone from having common sense or heart or emotional intelligence.
Just don't put me in a box. I hate assumptions. | |
