If this reads harsh, I did not mean it, but you social guys think you understand better, but often you do not.
I never announced my iq because I’ve seen that the answer other people usually get is either “ooh that’s high” or “what are you bragging about, it’s a number” or “mine is N”. Never heard the one that I find actually interesting: “which test it was, and oh, how did you analyze Nth, because it has three patterns with similar fitness, but only two were available as an answer”. Never once.
It's not "do some genius work then we’ll talk" though.
It's more "Until you do some genius work don't brag to me about how smart you are in IQ points".
>It’s unlikely that I will do, but if I did, we wouldn’t talk, cause who cares.
It's actually the opposite: people do care about genius work others do, as it can be touching (e.g. in art), evolutionary (e.g. in science), impactful (in tech, etc).
Whereas people don't care for others' IQ scores or MENSA membership.
>Unsocial may do that for themselves, out of curiosity, for an idea, to fight with reality, because they can. But not to impress some guy out there.
Well, that's another thing, and we can respect that.
But MENSA members ofter are more annoying braggards than even vegans...
Gives a mermbership certificate and a number that they think they brag about to socially naive, gullible and arrogant (but otherwise smart), people (I say "think they can brag about" because nobody will actually be impressed by it, and it just makes them appear as crude idiots - IQ is not an accomplishment by itself, and the proof of genius is in genius work).
