What's your IQ?  Do you think life is more difficult for intelligent people?

Actually, I do believe life is more difficult for intelligent people because they realize when their situation really sucks.  Intelligent people are also more likely to ponder the "deeper" and more depressing things in life--death, meaningless of existence, Dubya's reign of terror, etc.  In that sense, they make life more difficult for themselves.  My IQ is 142.

Last time I checked it about 5 years ago it was 146. I was in gifted classes throughout school and was giving IQ tests yearly, the highest I ever made on one was 171. \nBut it was always kind of boring to take them so if I would have put some effort into it I probably could have made higher.\n\nI've always found atheist to be the least intelligent of humans, It's because they don't seem to care or put any effort into anything. They talk the talk by can't seem to walk the walk.\n\nThe average human IQ is between 75 and 130, I believe average would be around 100 for all humans.\n\nI'm more of a gnostic by the way.

Rather on the high end. But remember... IQ doesn't mean you are smart - it only measures your potential. If you don't use it, it doesn't mean a thing.

i doubt it I am very smart I have taken quite a few online and offline IQ tests and mine is 160. Einstien's was 168 so if she is not lying she is alot smarter than him and I doubt that i think out of the whole populace of MENSA only 1 maybe 2 have an IQ that high!!

IQ tests are a good measure of overall intelligence, but it is not worth getting "hung up" over a score lower than average. Naturally we are all skilled in different areas, and a good IQ test will test you on all of these. Often people who are good at the literature based questions are not so strong on mathematical ones and vice versa. Also many online IQ tests copy questions, so people can become used to the types of questions they will answer. This isnt therefore testing IQ, but memory!!\n\nPersonally my IQ is 145, which is considered high, but I dont think this makes me any more intelligent than those with a lower score. \n\nI dont think intelligence can be measured - and I find the need to measure children on an IQ level quite disturbing.\n\nWhat does everyone else think?

Hmm..  Yes this question is quite thought provoking LMAO Intelligence is not an age

Agreed.  Not being a psychology expert or even close, I've also always believed that intelligent people tend to be very understanding, non-judgemental and not opinionated...almost indecisive, if you will.  My reasoning for this is that an intelligent person tends to look at the whole picture of everything and to try to understand why things are..not just to take them at face value.  Very few things in life are truly black and white and I think that intelligent people realize this and try to look at things from many different angles.

Sanity and intelligence are two different things. Insane people can be very intelligent. And insanity is not really temporary. People who are insane and are intelligent enough not to always act insane are the ones we call temporarily insane!\n\nNow I have a headache!

I'm sure that there are hundreds of studies with conflicting results, but it's impossible to compare the intelligence of someone who is alive, versus someone who is dead. Also, IQ is an indicator of intelligence, but it's not 100% accurate - if you take the test multiple times, you'll get slightly different scores.\n\nHowever, you could easily prove that the perception of society's intelligence is dropping. With modern communication, you can write/say/do something stupid, and it's immediately available for the world to see.

Yeah kinda normal. I have found that most of the truly smart people are a little messed up in the head. If you find that stuff funny you can't help it. The only time you have to worry is when you think of committing a deadly attack.

Do you think that the truly intelligent people are the ones that are not satisfied with the level of learning they have achieved, and are constantly trying to find ways to learn more?  And don't spend their time talking about how much smarter they are than everyone else?  : )

This is a hard question to answer because there are different forms of intelligence.  There are people who are book smart, people who are good with electronics, philosophical people etc.  \n\nHowever, I think people who can form an opinion based on a reasonable thought process and can still honestly consider other points of view (even if they still don't change their own opinion) are pretty intelligent.  Closed minds are small minds but if you open your mind it is free to grow as large as it wants to.

who says humans are smarter than other species?? what is your measure of intellegence?
684350
Yes, we all are capable of absorbing the same amount of knowledge except as mentioned people with disabilities. Studies are now showing we all have different learning patterns but it doesn't necessarily mean higher intelligence. We are all exceptionally smart creatures. All of us.

Alot of it yes. Intelligent people find ways to work things out but some people just like causing problems for others.

Yes I do.  How do I know?  Because of the way they speak and the things they speak of.\n\nBecause they can understand anything you tell them or ask them.  Who are they?  One was my own dad.  He was not an 'educated' person, but he had a very high position in a world wide business.  He invented some things that are still in use.\n\nOthers are people I have met and people I know right now.  High intelligence doesn't have anything to do with degrees or books or certificates.  It is either developed or ignored.\nBut it is always there, no matter what - or what is 'done' or not done  about it.
