On my home planet. IQ stands for 'insane queerness'. If you didn't use the equivalent of an 18 inch bad dragon every day, your IQ was low.
 
ooof my SIL married one of these. dude's a fat balding neckbeard who could not argue his way out of a donut hole, but still has a superiority complex that is tbh as grating as it is funny.

anyway, I rarely see IQ bragging in the wild, but I do see an awful lot of humble-bragging about degrees either earned or being earned.

being aggressively proud of their identity as INTJs is truly staggering. The self-awareness is lacking, for sure. And it's always fucking INTJs, too, like they've unlocked the code that gives them something to latch onto instead of accepting the reality they're just intolerable stubborn frigid nerds.

Who isn't an INTJ on the internet?

The best part about this isn't just Neil himself. It's how this crowd will lap up anything as long as there's a picture of his face next to it.

This one apparently got passed around a few years ago and it's a complete fabrication. I think there was another one with a Hitler quote, but I can't find it right now.

Yet they can't punctuate their sentences.

I don't know why people don't understand this, but, destroying an opposing viewpoint of an already existing one doesn't automatically give it more value. Whether or not you're religious, you can't deny that even the scientific method is limited, due to how its main component is observation. At the moment, it's just the best we got.
 
why do people think having a high iq automatically makes you good at everything? lmao "should I be an engineer" getting lucky and having some shitty quiz online give you a random number isn't gonna make you a billion dollar engineer
 
Yes, fellow big dick high IQers, these imposters really grind my gears.

Jesus I used to be one of these faggots. I remember once at a party I was in a room with some girl and she said something along the lines of "wow it's pretty hot in here" and I took the time to explain why it was so hot.

The worst part was that I was actually just a retard who couldn't into maths so I felt the need to compensate.

I'd argue that artistic skill is itself a kind of intelligence. Booksmarts aren't the only kind of smart.

I wish I had the useful smarts.

It absolutely is, most good artists, ehm, have a very high spatial intelligence and can come up with things that other people can hardly imagine. It's just that many people don't label this as "intelligence" but more like a "skill", hence why the girl in my story, and probably lots of people, thought she had to be good at math and all that academic stuff to be considered smart or even average.
Diana already listed the things a few pages before:

In the psych field, we identify 9: spatial, naturalistic, musical, logical-mathematical, existential, interpersonal, intrapersonal, bodily-kinesthetic, and linguistic. You can even take a quiz to see which you are highest in.

We all might not be educated psychologists, but I believe we can agree that if anyone is able to come up with something we can't make or thought about it before, then that other person must have some kind of intelligence we lack. Personally I'm offensively tone deaf, I can't do even the simplest of anything in music, I can enjoy it and all but I can't for the life of me do anything music related.

I used to be really insufferable too... in like, high school. I think it's kind of normal to think you're hot shit until you eventually grow out of it.

Some folks don't, tho.

Those people who don't grow out of it become lolcows or massive spergs.

You reckon? I'll concede I'm far from an authority on any of these people, but my impression was always that Hitchens was a frankly cantankerous, argumentative, abrasive old man, and that he owned all that, whereas Dawkins looks and sounds like a David Attenborough type but then undermines that by making a fool out of himself on the Internet.

Good point. I’ll admit that my impression of Hitchens as being less “Smart Guy” prone than Dawkins is most likely because he’s been dead for some time while Dawkins is still around and continuing to make an ass of himself.

I got really mad at Hitchens about the Maria Teresa shit. I thought he was just being a dick.

It really broke my heart when I realized he was completely right and that Teresa was, in fact, an absolutely awful sadistic monster.

Yeah, I feel. I was raised Catholic and Mother Teresa was held up as such a humanitarian icon... it was somewhat disillusioning to much younger me to realize she was far from humanitarian and made so many people suffer needlessly.

Thesaurus abuse, though... Jesus. I saw Onision (FAAAAAAAX) was mentioned in the beginning of the thread, and he’s a serial thesaurus abuser (also a serial abuser of barely legal girls but I digress). It seems like these bozos think that throwing all the ten dollar words into a giant word salad makes them seem intellectual... maybe I’m too much of a dumbass to get it, but to me it makes them seem 1) barely literate or 2) ten years old and trying to act more “adult” than they really are.

No matter how hard you try to colour shit it's still just shit.
 
You see, this is why I think a certain amount of Bullying is Okay and totally necessary.
Kids are dumb and they some need... help in order to know how to act in a society. Had these guys been beaten or shoven into lockers a bit more, maybe they could realize that acting like a huge dick won't get you very far in life.

Now, if you try to explain that to them (or even if they come to the realization themselves), they just say "Boohoo, society sucks, I won't lower myself to be like all the other sheeps" and keep going with their ACKSHUALLY! bullshit :roll:
