Who is the smartest on the forum?

[Tiger]

candidates?

 

[fullerene]

erm..... I know I hate it when people just shoot down my ideas as soon as I make a thread, so I don't mean to immediately jump on you in a mean way.... but I'm strongly against this idea. The best "end" to it that I think you can hope for is if noddy jumps in here and turns it into a joke thread.

your opinion if fine by me.
what is that you are expecting, a meeting of the pirates like on pirates of the caribean III?

 

[Wisp]

I nominate myself! My superior intellect obviously shows me that your diminutive intellect pales in comparison to the vastness that is my mind!

 

[Waterstiller]

I nominate Tiger.

was that a demonstation of cryptonias point?

does wisp know he is lying? if not then is he really lying?
i forgot to say no self nominations but i think it might be fun this way... by fun i mean silly...

 

[Ancalion]

I nominate my incredible ego.

There are too many variables to being "smart".

We used to have a member called "shoesupplier". I nominate hir.

I believe I am the smartest human on the face of the earth but I will not nominate myself because my biggest fear is to be proven wrong.

In summary, here's what the statistics indicate about the correlation between personality traits and IQ:
Other personality traits being the same, an iNtuitive person (one who grasps patterns and seeks possibilities) is 27 times more likely to have a high IQ than a Sensing person (one who focuses on sensory details and the here-and-now).
Again, other traits being the same, an Introverted person is 8 times more likely to have a high IQ than one who is Extraverted; a Thinking (logic-oriented) person is 2.5 times more likely to have a high IQ than a Feeling (people-oriented) person; and a Judging person (one who seeks closure) is about twice as likely to have a high IQ than a Perceiving person (one who likes to keep his options open).
Moreover, if you encounter an INTJ (Introverted, iNtuitive, Thinking, Judging), there is a 37% probability that his IQ places him in the top 2 percent of the population. The probability is 20% for an INTP, 15% for an INFJ, and 8% for an INFP. These four types account for 66% of the high-IQ population but only 6% of the total population.

IQ tests are biased in favor of people who are good at IQ tests.

IQ tests are biased in favor of people who are good at IQ tests.

As are most tests are biased towards good testers
However, I agree, I simply have a knack for choosing the right option from a set of possible actions during a multiple-choice Exam. It makes me no better than anyone else when comes to adaptation to the changes in the 'real' world, as this 'knack' is only useful/apparent on a plane of abstract thought...

[Dissident]

Theorically you cant get practice in IQ tests, and people good at them tend to be good at other things that are considered to require intelligence as well.

 

[NoID10ts]

Each of us believes we are the smartest here, but our spectacular sense of humility would never let any of us admit that.

 

[Perseus]

IQ tests are accurate enough for any group bar ENTP/INTP. I come out as 122/126.

The only reason why they are not accurate for our group as we get bored with them and could not really care a damn about the results. Unlike the INTJ-ENTJs.

 

[saffyangelis]

I made my sister (ESFJ) do an IQ test with me once. Now whenever she keeps going on about how smart she is, and when she gets on my nerves, I just remind her of how I got higher than her. It really winds her up =)

That is so true! Ha Ha
When I walked in to take my Graduate Record Exams, all these other types were sweating bullets
I'm mean they believed that their entire fate depended on the test results
I did not care i knew that whatever the results were they would be in the top 2-3%, and therefore totally sufficient
So with a really Ho-Hum-It-must -Be-Done attitude I took the test, tested out in the top 10-100 in the nation. It was so Funny, there were people there that would have sacrificed body parts to get those results, and I saw them as useless...

 

[Yozuki]

From various IQ tests online: 109, 113, 115, 118. The results fluctuate in this bracket. I'm above average and nothing special. Type, supposed ESFP.

 

[Snail]

Noddy is the wittiest, cryptonia is the wisest, and I have no idea who has the highest IQ. Even in response to this thread, cryptonia showed his wisdom by saying it was a bad idea, since it inspires arrogance and competition unless considered humorously. Fortunately, you INTPs are goofy enough to deal with it.

 

[saffyangelis]

What am I then Snail?

 

[Snail]

I dunno. Kind of cute and weird?

 

[saffyangelis]

Hmmm..........

Alright!

[Anthile]

Nay, who cares about IQ? It´s worth exactly nothing. It is said that my IQ is above 150. I did some official test, but I never saw the results. Well, look at me, I am basically insane and visited the closed psychiatry more than once. I am out of work for about a year now and will it be also this year.
Is that smart? Does that make me smart? No, it doesn´t.

And if you think that this worthless number makes you smart, than you have nothing understood. Not even a little.


Just my opinion.

Like this one of my major gripes. I know of so many truly gifted people that are discarded by society because they are 'different'. I met more geniuses in Prison, than at University
If Intelligence is so good to have then why isn't it valued by Others, especially those in the Educational Industry...

Mine is that the error is thinking that high intelligence= success in life. You can be very smart and be emotionally unstable, you can be smart and have problems that keep you from keeping a job, you can be smart and not handle money well. Intelligence =/= wisdom. Intelligence =/= knowledge. Intelligence =/= life experience.

It is actually the other way around. It is an adaptation from the "real world" you put in these abstract questions you answer. If a person is not really intelligent nor logical, one cannot get a really high score. IQ tests are meant to test how well you can put your logic into work. I'm quite certain a smart person in a "real world" gets his/her iq test score above average. Therefore a person with a high iq test score must be a smart person.

But again, I agree that IQ test scores are not the ultimate answers. They only test 7 different types of logic if I remember correctly.

To ask who is the smartest on the forum, is however subjective. I'd leave my answer empty, as different individuals have different approaches towards some subjects.

Intuitives only perform better on timed IQ tests . The results stopped being statistically significant when they made it a raw power game. Also I'm not sure if those statistic's you've stated are correct. I have only found one study that typed gifted students((IQ 130+) and it showed that INTP's outperformed INTJ's on IQ tests but fared worse academically.

I think that highlights how useless IQ tests are. So many minor variables in how the test is taken can skew the results.

I've personally only taken two IQ tests,one last year and one when I was 5. The one at 5 put me@162 the test I took this year stopped at 130 so I don't really know what my actual score is. I apparently have some freakish backwards autistic memory(was able to remember 14 digits with the same retrieval times backwards and forwards). That being said I think the tests are trash.

 

[Sapphire Harp]

I love how we're one of the highest scoring groups on tests and the like, but everyone demolishes the validity of them.

Also, I love how when faced with a question like this one, we out-of-the-box-think it into submission.
​

 

[Ermine]

agreed. I once took an IQ test that expected me to know about a bunch of advanced math theorems in order to have a high IQ. Ridiculous.

And they had 7 grammatical errors on the same test. Sillies...

 

[IfloatTHRUlife]

I would nominate myself but there would be no fun in that, so i nominate Decaf.

And about the IQ tests, i also don't believe in them, i took one when i was younger and scored rather high but even then i knew that it was just some random test, and that if i had taken another test there was a good chance i would score differently.

 

[dbtng_thomas]

Oh ... post and look like the pompous ass I am? don't post and let it ride? ... aw, screw it.

142

 

[Melkor]

Hmm....this might come as a shock to some of you...

but...


Melkor really isn't at all clever.






Hmm iq tests?

I enjoy doign those...


They range from 126 and 134 on online tests, and 140 in the 'official' test i performed in primary school...

 

[didyouknow]

I say we have a competition, first to find the answer to the cipher from FusionKnights thread wins... WOHOO THATS ME. I don't think I have to explain to the INTPs here that I'm joking, for we may appear arrogant to other types, but to ourselves we lack self-esteem. (Go, Decaf! Prove me wrong!)

IQ tests are flawed, they test on a bizarre definition of "intelligence" and I believe that no true intelligence can be tested.

Perhaps this was just a cleverly disguised "who's the most arrogant" thread instead, by which I could surely play arrogant but what would that accomplish?

 

[Agent Intellect]

i've taken 3 IQ tests. the one in high school put my IQ at about 90 (with 100 being average) and the two i took after high school put me at 132 and 136 (with 100 being average).

now, i wonder, is IQ supposed to be ones ability to grasp and learn information? its certainly not a test of knowledge or wisdom or even understanding. and, as has been mentioned before, what sort of information is one good at grasping? i'm certainly an emotional and social retard, even if i can understand some abstract concept. i'm terrible at applying anything, so even if i had the highest IQ in the world, it wouldn't matter. its like having 97% of the water on earth as salt water, its just useless.

that being said, i'm clearly the smartest person here.

 

[Perseus]

Another way to get below par marks in these sort of tests is to have poor eyesight or the wrong spectacles. I have even got lower marks for daydreaming during the tests.

But as an employer (in the past) I paid quite a lot of attention to IQ results. And I tended to ignore realms of examination qualifications.

 

[zxc]

I would have to say that Perseus is the smartest because no-one ever understands what he's on about. Proof: http://www.intpforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=46

[/joke]

 

[Decaf]

I don't think I have to explain to the INTPs here that I'm joking, for we may appear arrogant to other types, but to ourselves we lack self-esteem. (Go, Decaf! Prove me wrong!)

*poof!*

Wha? who?...

Oh, ok. I think arrogance is a defense mechanism, and like any defense mechanism, statements and actions are not dictated by the actual feelings of the individual. Growing up devalued by our environment forces us to latch onto any source of positive feedback and make it a central part of how we relate in the viscous game of dominance we know as socializing.

Our Achilles heel is that we often grow up with only our analytical abilities being praised, and so we must become the ultimate analysts in order to accomplish anything in the outside world with regards to other people. I don't think we are very good at shaking our apparent arrogance until we learn to independently value ourselves or our environment catches on to our other positive traits, providing us an "out" in our spiral of self-flagellation.

Its ironic that most of us have little trouble respecting the opinions of anyone who gives an honest and humble effort in their analysis, even if it isn't their strength.

Was that what you were asking for?

 

[grey matters]

What did you say? self flatulation? sounds like you need to hold back there on the beans.

Now, let me see, I am supposed to nominate the smart ass person here. Humm, who could that be? I think that Noddy wins that hands down don't you think?

I've learned more about myself from your posts than I have from any "self-help" book.
