i agree totally with that

"how the hell does having an high IQ make people feel intimidated"

You belittle that as if it makes no sense, but it is actually commoner than you might think.

You, as an intelligent person, may find that hard to imagine, but try to place yourself in the shoes of someone without your cranial arsenal.

Most people don't have a problem with people who are highly intelligent, but some do. He's not making it up.

Also - whether a highly-intelligent person has common sense is a good question, but it has nothing to do with what's being discussed in this thread.

May i just mention that an iq of 161 would put you in the area of being classed as a genius? So, personally, i think you need to go resit your IQ test at a valid test centre.

maybe he is a genius ????

Indeed, perhaps he is.

if he was a genius, would he have to ask that question perhaps?

i doubt it though i've done two iQ tests in my life and got two different answers

I can personally say that the only iq test to take is the mensa one. That is the only recognised standard test. So a few online sites say they do an iq test, but that will be based on their variables.

I don't see why this has to get adversarial.

I think Tiny's question is valid, but then perhaps that's because I have personal and repeated experience of the kind of situation he describes.

What the answer is, I have not yet worked out (and not because I lack common sense! )

*note to self...stop wearing that badge that tells everyone my IQ*

SO ... the moral of the story is ... no matter what your IQ is ... its got nothing to do with girls not dating you ...

I have a degree but i do not class myself as inteligent but i would say i have a lot of common sense. But i would not look down or look up to any person, you are what you are. No don't get more woman either way its you that counts
