I don't think I'm smarter than Einstein. The IQ test just determines how quickly your brain works. It's not about how smart or dumb you are. The most pedontic person could have an IQ of 70 and have straight A's. GPA's and grades show how hard you work and how motivated you are. Standardized tests reveal what you've learned, or can remember, in relation to your peers. IQ tests determine how quickly you can grasp a concept or how fast your brain works. Have you ever taken one Paul? If you take that question as an offense it wasn't meant to be. I just want to know if you know what the tests are like.
My intellectual quotient is 147, so I'm almost up there. It's too damn bad I go to a low rate school with no expectations of the students. My homework this 4 day weekend was to watch a movie. My ENGLISH 4 HONORS homework ... is to watch a movie. Pathetic.
Things like bragging or modesty are also NOT a reflection on the intelligence of a person. Some of the most intelligent people brag about it. Other very intelligent people feel they don't need to. It just depends on what else the person has. If someone has an IQ of 164 but drives a 10 year old Ford Taurus then they surely will brag about their IQ. If someone has an IQ of 60 but owns a Mercede's Benz, they'll brag about the Benz. It's human nature, so don't pull any crap about modesty being part of someone's intelligence.
