Sorry my friend.....There is NO such thing as "psychic" ability.  There is a guy named Dr. James Randi who has offered $1 million to ANYBODY who can statistically prove ANY "paranormal" or "psychic" ability.....Nobody has collected and the money has been in a trust account for years.  He has publicly challenged every psychic from Jean Dixon to John Edwards and they are to afraid to show up and endure the public humiliation.

Intelligence is a property of mind that encompasses many related mental abilities, such as the capacities to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend ideas and language, and learn. In common parlance, the term smart, metaphorically used is frequently the synonym of situational and behavioral (i.e. observed and context dependent) intelligence.\n\nAlthough many regard the concept of intelligence as having a much broader scope, for example in cognitive science and computer science, in some schools of psychology, the study of intelligence generally regards this trait as distinct from creativity, personality, character, or wisdom.

Clairvoyant is a person having clairvoyance which literally means "clear vision." Although there are several studies that have been or still being conducted about this paranormal ability, most researchers are still skeptical about the idea.\n\nClairvoyants claim to have one or more of the following abilities:\n1. The ability to see the other realms (spirit realm, ghosts, demons, nature beings, divine beings such as angels, etc.)\n2. The ability to know in detail, events that happened in the past (Russian research focuses on this for criminal investigative purposes).\n3. The ability to foretell future events.\n4. The ability to see beyond opaque matter, some kind of x-ray vision if you will.\n\nClairvoyance may not always profess itself as enhanced visions. "Clear" hearing and smell can also be classified as clairvoyance.\n\nExperts say that these abilities are said to innate and that all persons possess them. However, the level or degree of these abilities vary one person to another. There are several sites that talks of training oneself to activate clairvoyance. Or you can visit your local bookstore or library for books about opening your clairvoyance.

Sounds neat, I read something about people being able to do things like that, but I cannot remember what it was about! LOL\n\nMaybe it was autistic children?  I can't remember.  If he seems otherwise normal, I would think it's just a neat thing he's enabled himself to do.

The way it's spelled is, Psychic.\n\nI call it having Intuition, everyone has it to some degree, some more than others. \n\nMine comes and go's, it's not consistant.

An omnipotent human? Wouldn't your head explode? \nTo know everything ( EVERYTHING ) at the same time from past, present, and beyond? No thank you.

Howard Gardner came up with this theory. His book Frames of the Mind details  intelligences such as: Visual / Spatial Intelligence, Musical Intelligence, Verbal Intelligence, Logical/Mathematical Intelligence, Interpersonal Intelligence, Intrapersonal Intelligence, and Bodily / Kinesthetic Intelligence)\nIt means that everyone has a special talent or intelligence.  For example the movie Rainman ( with Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise) illustrates the case of an autistic man that had a special talent with mathematics.

No one has ever scientifically proven telekinetic ability.  People who claim to have such ability fall into two categories: those who are demonstrated to be faking it, and those that won't allow themselves to be scientifically tested.\n\nThe James Randi Educational Foundation is one of the foremost organizations for investigation into paranormal claims like telekintic powers.  They've had a standing offer to pay $1 million to anyone who can prove they have such an ability for years and no one has successfully done so.

166 really?? I would think you could figure it out. LOL\n\ntop score 300. average 110-115, genius (top 2 %) 130+\n\nIt was estimated that Marilyn Vos Savants IQ was 230. but when IQ gets very high it is impossible to tell. There actually is not top score but it is estimated that it is almost beyond improbability for a homo sapiens to score higher than 300 and not be another species.\n\nPart of the measuring problem is ceiling bump. i.e. how does a person with an IQ of 135 design a test to quantify the IQ of someone with and IQ of 200 or 250.\n\nWith an IQ of 166 one thing that you Will notice. People that have IQ of less than say 120 will notice that you are smart but not be able to discern how smart. People that are over 135 can discern the difference between two people one with say an IQ of 145 an another with an IQ of 165.

Intelligence is not how much you know, but how well you learn, and how well you can apply what you do know to new situations.  It is about understanding yourself and the world around you.  Intelligence is the ability to look at those around you and be at peace with them because differences are part of life.  \n\nThere are many ways of being intelligent.  It is not just about "book smarts".  People can be intelligent artistically, musically, mathematically, linguistically, with "hands on" tasks, etc.  Real intelligence involves a good smattering of common sense, an understanding of nature and the environment, the ability to show compassion, and an appreciation of different cultures and values.\n\nJust a few of my thoughts on the issue .... hope it helps.

It means you took a test which has no actual bearing on your intelligence. Get tested professionally by a psychologist and then see how smart you really are.
