I am highly intelligent, ask me anything

Using standard IQ scales/assessments I am highly intelligent. I have also done some research into high intelligence. Being highly intelligent has advantages and drawbacks. Ask me anything :-)

(Just to preempt some comments: No, I don’t think intelligent people are better human beings than other people. I think qualities such as being kind are more important for example. No, intelligent people are not always ‘better for society’, there is some evidence, for example, that really highly intelligent people carry out proportionally somewhat more crimes (white collar). No, I don’t look down on less intelligent people (sometimes I envy them), but it can obviously be a bit difficult to connect if you have very different frames of reference. No, intelligence does not have any direct links to social skills (positive or negative).)

Too sexy for this thread...

Or perhaps even Mumsnet itself!

I asked ChatGTP if it is likely the two posts were written by the same person and the answer was:

Moderate-to-high likelihood they’re written by the same person.

Not certain — but the cognitive style and defensive framing pattern are notably similar.

So the multibillion dollar, environment harming 'intelligence' came up with 'Dunno. Maybe'.

That's amazing.

It confirmed what many posters already said.

I’m very happy you’re so easily impressed!

Yeah, can't wait for it to be used instead of having people thinking.

Oh, wait, that's already happened.

Interesting. According to AI:

"Oh wait, that already happened" is often considered a form of low-effort or mediocre wit because it relies on a very common comedic template—the "intentional false start" followed by a correction.”

If you went out for a 5 mile walk on your own in the countryside, what would you think about?

Ooh, I've been roasted by an AI. I'd be more impressed had you thought of that yourself, though.

@nolinkname Soz babes, but this is one of the most useless AMAs I have ever come across 🥱 you started from a point of perceived superiority declaring yourself as "Highly Intelligent," assuming you have some groundbreaking, irreplicable wisdom to share with The Masses, but all I've been able to glean from your feedback & input here is that you take vague issue(s) with various school systems, & that you seem almost strategically prepared to be defensive of posters who are rightfully taking the mick here 🤨 if not a wind-up, is this some sort of Social Experiment for a high school or college paper or something?

I agree with PPs who call you out for starting an AMA in the first place, you don't seem prepared for many of the questions posited here, or prepared to reciprocate to those who have engaged with your "AMA" 🤨

This would probably be a more interesting thread:

"I'm as thick as mince, ask me anything."

That’s one I’d definitely read 😂

Is this the same OP who was upset that no one wanted to scan her brain, because she’s so freakishly intelligent and unique that it apparently needs to be studied? It was a highly peculiar thread - the example given of clenching fists while listening to music being an indicator of their apparent genius was particularly bemusing.

I thought there were a lot of similarities between the two posters too.

@nolinkname was this an official MENSA test or just one online. You're still not answering the IQ question.

My thoughts are there are people commenting on this post a lot more intelligent than yourself!

And some people who lack basic courtesy.

IQ is just one measure of intelligence. There is emotional intelligence too. How do you fair with that? Are you autistic?

There is also a "common sense IQ". My IQ is only a bit above high normal but my common sense IQ is much higher. On the reverse side, my DH has a very high IQ but his common sense IQ is very, very low. In fact, many high IQ people have a very low common sense IQ.

I had no idea about emotional intelligence IQ. Not sure where I would score on that. I can be a bit emotional....😬😵🤔

AnnoyedAsAllHeck · 17/03/2026 12:08

I am waiting, excited as all get out, for the next thread; "I am totally average so don't bother asking me anything".

Or

I could start one; "I am now 72 years old and my obit wasn't online today, so AMA".

Still waiting for an answer to my question. There’s no Zoltar machine near me, so this thread is all I’ve got.

Do you know how and why to use the quote function?
