I know exactly what you mean. People nowadays do not understand what "intelligence" really is anymore. Worse yet, they confuse it with certain language mistakes (grammar, punctuation) that are unrelated to the message behind it. Creativity, logic, reasoning, etc are the true "variables" that should be used for defining creativity, but because creativity is not a numerically quantifiable thing, you just can't measure it. I've taken random IQ tests on mensa and didn't score highly, maybe the upper end of the standard deviation, but I've never felt as though that is a true definition of a genius, especially when art is also part of what defines a human genius to me. It's the most frustrating thing I am happy that there are some people out there that still are "enlightened".

The internet "tests" say I'm like 120 - 130, but I've done most of them drunk just for the kick of it. Don't think they are of any actual use, plus many don't take into account emotional quotient.
Was tested when I was a kid but they never gave me the score so I don't really know, was tested twice though, thought it was strange but without actually getting results who the hell knows.
Even if I was slightly above average I don't really feel it, nor do I really want to. My personal observation, most people are dumb as rocks, with any interest in any math, science, or just anything beyond cars, blondes and sports being beep rare.
I know a few people that are truly smarter than that and we talk about beep everything and we just love it when someone brings something to the table we have so far established was the truth and then we check out the evidence and sources and just argue about it and it is a truly satisfying feeling when you're proven wrong, allthough and you have a new way to look at your new reality.
But the majority of people I know are just so boring, how many beep times can you mention her hot rack.
YES IT'S beep HOT BUT WE HAVE PORN NOW PEOPLE. -

Too true.
Also, you just knew this thread was going to turn into a "You're a moron and I have a higher IQ than you" type thing. It's hilarious.

Not saying you are, but I always love it when people who are most likely of average intellect believe they're good judges of who is and isn't intelligent.
They typically believe an intelligent person will hold the same beliefs that they do; as they consider themselves intelligent. In reality, it's typically the exact opposite. Typically highly intelligent people will be rather different from average people and will say things that the average person considers to be quite stupid.
Hence the quote in Idiocracy: "For the smartest guy in the world, you're pretty dumb sometimes".

I took an IQ test because my father is Mensa so I wondered if I have any of those traits. I scored a 144 and still dont know what the hell it means so I am in the dumbass high IQ percentile.

Smartness is in no way defined by IQ. Education, in my opinion, is a much more adequate meter of intelligence.
For example, consider that a small child may have an IQ of 150, does he see other people like in the movie? No, most adults are better than him/her in every possible (intellectual or otherwise) aspect. -

There are different measures of IQ but being smart is a generally agreed benchmark regardless of how it is reckoned.
Being educated is a good thing regardless of IQ, but education will not bring someone with a low IQ up to genius level. It may, however help them to be more productive, more driven, more able to reason and see the world in a more critical light. Some people are just clever and some are just stupid.

Dumb people often see themselves as smarter than they really are. It's called the Dunning Kruger effect.
There will always be someone dumber than you and someone smarter than you. And then there are all the different types of intelligence.

1 - I have no problem of social awareness. Only problem with social skills.
2 - Don't judge someone only based on the stupidities they like to write on a movies website where people take movies way too seriously. You proved something on you right there.
3 - You should read one of my books. I keep the intelligent parts in there.
Luckily, as I'm beep rich, I don't feel penalized over my limited social skills because I compensate elsewhere.
smart is good smartass is not.
Why you wanted to reply to me at the first place?
Wrong answer.

I can't help but wonder how were you able to write a book considering your grammar.
Hell, I'm not even a native speaker and your post hurt my eyes.
But I guess you can pretend to be just about anyone on the internet.
