How smart are you???

[LocoColt04]

Despite the high IQ and whatnot, I want to reinforce the fact that I don't consider myself to be exceptionally smart or anything like that. I know people with much lower IQs who are far more intelligent... it's all about how you choose to use your brainpower, combined with what areas of learning you as an individual happen to be more adept.


Also,

Membership requirement

Mensa's only requirement for membership is that one score at or above the 98th percentile on certain standardized IQ or other approved intelligence tests, such as the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales. Because different tests are scaled differently, it is not meaningful to compare raw scores between tests, only percentiles. For example, the minimum accepted score on the Stanford-Binet is 132, while for the Cattell it is 148.[7]
Mensa also has its own application exam, and some national groups offer alternative batteries of culture-fair, non-language tests. These exams are proctored by Mensa and do not provide a quantified score; they serve only to qualify a person for membership. In some national groups, a person may take a Mensa offered test only once, although one may later submit an application with results from a different qualifying test.[8][9]

Well, how much would you say you know about math, reading, psychology, and other stuff? I have also noticed how allot of smart people don't give themselves credit.

I know all about math.

I placed 97% in the nation in a critical thinking exit exam from my last Uni. So if Critical Thought is important, I'm okay. If it's IQ that is important, I placed 162.

Either way, I'm intelligent enough not to put too much emphasis on IQ or Standardized testing.

I've totally heard that from other people including one of my best friends Ethan. Whom will be coming to visit me shortly. I used the word 'whom' in a thread about being smart. I must be a genius.

Fantastic line of thought. As mentioned before, standardized testing really just checks logical capabilities and some other functional crap. All the same, quite impressive sir.
