You consistently score 175+ on IQ tests?

2 comments

Consistently scoring 175 on tests that have a maximum of 140 is no small feat. If that is not a sign of superior intelligence, I don't know what is.
Yes. IQ tests are easy. Life, now that's a real challenge.
Do you have any other family members with very high IQs?
Yes, there is a pattern. Most of my relatives are very quick, those tested all come out 120+. Two of my sons have absurd IQs like me. My second is about my level (170+), and my youngest is some kind of megamind mutant. His brain scares me. He's very very clever.
What was your experience like in school and university? Have you come across people who you thought were at a similar level intelectually as you?
