I'm definitely conceited

Conceited = exaggerated opinion of one's abilities

Exaggerated = magnified beyond the limits of truth



Yeah, I totally agree, although I'm surprised you do, as it contradicts everything you've said. Tsk, tsk, not very 140-ish.

There are different definitions in different dictionaries. I didn't mean it as an "having an exaggerated opinion of one's own abilities," but instead, "having an excessively favorable opinion of one's abilities, appearance, etc." Not "magnified beyond the limits of truth," but "excessively favorable," with excessively defined as "going beyond the usual, necessary, or proper limit or degree" and favorable defined as "characterized by approval or support." It doesn't contradict everything that I've said, but instead means that I have an unusually approving view of myself. I acknowledge and accept that about myself, so of course I agree. To disagree would be hypocritical ("pretending to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that one does not actually possess").

High 130's on a couple of internet tests. One thing is for sure I understand things way easier that a lot of people I meet.

Internet tests and real IQ tests are not even remotely similar. You probably knew that, but I'm just making sure.

I took an IQ test like two years ago and scored a 137. Not that high, but not low either. My ISFP brother scored wayyy higher than me and was something like a 160(the guy's a friggin genius). When I take online IQ tests I usually get like 145's but those may not be very credible. Anyway, N types in general are said to score higher on IQ tests than S's. INTP's usually score the highest.

Real IQ test I score 127. Internet IQ tests are funny. I score 140s or higher.

Now, like the former responses of this thread I will mention that I don't believe in the IQ test. Before you banish me to the forsaken delusional zone, which I'm already in and you couldn't muster the strength needed, this has always been my opinion. If you were to go back to my first 100 posts (some 4 years ago) you'd see that there was a thread on IQs and I posted that I don't believe in IQs, classic empte line time:

I agree with Nephilim on the IQ.com Quote.

I say intelligence a broad field in multiply areas. Thus making one test useless.

Different people are different kinds of smart. Expect for the idiots.....

Diligence, or persistently acquiring new knowledge, will always conflate with intelligence to make it nearly impossible to objectively gage someone's raw intelligence. Unless we start ambush testing people; however, some don't do well under pressure. Everyone will have their excuses for their follies and their alleged strengths that make up for it. I think the only logical answer is that you're only as smart as you think you are. Anyone can dismiss an IQ test as overly biased towards one type of intelligence or whatever and readily list off a litany of times they've been smart in some way. I think I'm smarter than 95% of people on this earth and I don't really give a shit if that statement is accurate or not because on purely pragmatic grounds it keeps me motivated to continually better myself and hold myself to that high a standard.

In my opinion just having an in depth conversation that runs the gamut of topics is the best gage of intelligence, unless you're talking to someone with autism, some kind of idiot savant, or someone who's second language is your primary language. I've usually been pretty good at picking out intelligent individuals from non-intelligent individuals without bias towards socially adept persons in ways that have allowed me to say, "So and so is a very diligent, well traveled person intellectually, and well suited to traditional problem solving due to their persistent exposure to traditional tactics, or so and so can pick up the ins and outs of things very quickly and come up with solutions very quickly on their own without educational conditioning," or anywhere in between.

Also, a large vocabulary of bombastic words and a little feel for their apposite time of use can go a long long way in making people think you're really smart. But again, that comes from a bit diligence, as well.

I measured my IQ the other day and it's generally bigger when I get really excited. When this happens, I like to wear a trench-coat in the park and show random people my intellect. Once, when driving a van around a middle school and handing encyclopedias to kids, a student asked me for help on his science homework. I told him to come into my basement later so we could discuss his ideas. Cops seem to not like smart people because they scold us whenever we act smart in public, particularly if we ask to see other people's intelligence.

A bit modest?

[Consistently Inconsistent]

According to online tests I've taken, it's in the 130's, but I don't think I should trust random IQ tests I find on the internet...
