By the time I have breakfast every day, I've already come up with a hundred new fantastic ideas about how to improve the world, and my brain works at a 69.999% (recurring, of course) higher capacity than yours.

You wouldn't ever be able to comprehend my complex thoughts because, like, you're so beneath me, and I'm, like, super awesome. [Adjusts glasses again; uses inhaler]. Plebs.
Don't you just hate it when smart people start bragging about what high IQ they have when they're actually the complete opposite? There are those who think it's OK to be a show-off and an arrogant

I Am More Faster Than Your Calculator
As a general rule of thumb, people tend to vastly overestimate their abilities and believe themselves to be exceptions to rules and tendencies. Right now you’re probably thinking how you’re way smarter than I am, and I’m thinking the exact same thing. We believe we’re special and have far more intricate inner-lives than others. That’s quite normal because we experience life only from our own perspectives, and we’re privy only to our own thoughts. Nonetheless, a shocking 65% of all Americans believe themselves to be of higher-than-average intelligence, according to this study. Wow! That’s a big number!

It’s easy to make fun of wannabe geniuses who shoot themselves in the foot with their comments, but real intelligence shouldn’t be made fun of. According to various studies, having a high IQ makes it more likely that you will be successful and rich and will live longer. Now, this doesn’t mean intelligence is the only factor that matters (and far from every scientist agrees with the conclusion about future success), but the importance of IQ shouldn’t be waved away, as though it means nothing.
How Was I Even Supposed To Respond To This?
I Guess He Just Doesn’t Like The Word
Props to that response. I would have just noted that the only "disgusting" thing was OP's spelling.
Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon developed the first IQ (intelligence quotient) test in 1904, after the French government demanded they find a way to differentiate between lazy children and those with mental handicaps. The so-called Simon-Binet test, which was a combination of logical reasoning, finding rhyming words and naming objects, quickly became popular in the West.
The test was then modified in 1916, and called the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale. This became the standard IQ test used in the United States. Naturally, the test was revised and tweaked countless times, but it still remains popular to this day.
The IQ test didn’t make everyone happy, though. Psychologist David Wechsler thought the Stanford-Binet test was too limited, so in 1955 he created his own intelligence test: the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale or WAIS. In modern times we currently have the fourth incarnation of the test, known as WAIS-IV. Wechsler also made tests specifically for children and preschoolers.

Load More Replies...Take it from someone who works with doctors...they're not looking at you like that because they're impressed, they're looking at you like that because they're wondering where's your PhD and why the hell are you in their office.
Believe me, we aren't looking at you like that because we are amazed by your intelligence...
Yeah...anyone can do that if they spend enough time on WebMD. But it doesn't mean you're right. My current doctor told me from the beginning that if I even said the words "WebMD," our patient/doctor relationship was over.
Sounds like your current doctor is an arrogant jerk. WebMD shouldn’t take the place of an actual doctor, but that doesn’t mean it is useless garbage. You should definitely learn as much as possible about all drugs and treatments you’re prescribed before you accept them. There’s a lot of s**t that often doesn’t get explained that people regret not knowing later on. At the very least, it should help you be armed with important questions that your doctor can then answer (and if he or she cannot, find another doctor).
Load More Replies...My impression is that a lot of peoeple do this. Then they come to work and whine if the doctor didn't do as told ....
This isn't a right or wrong situation. I think smart money is on realizing that doctors go to school for years to learn this stuff and they are the experts at overall medical knowledge. On the other hand, you are the expert on your own body, so doing your own research is not a bad thing at all. In the US, where many doctors spend less than 10 minutes with each patient, doing your own research can be a literal lifesaver. This is especially true if you have a complex medical condition that has multiple potential diagnosis, most doctors will automatically diagnose the most likely one first, sometimes without listening to your complete list of symptoms and taking everything into account.
wtf is a miskito? i get bitten by mosquitos
Load More Replies...and then they say "I have never heard a diagnosis this f*cking wrong"
My doctor actually does listen to me and discuss my health with me on the appropriate level. If yours doesn't, you need a different doctor.
I tell my doctors what I have looked up as a jumping off point, but not like I know it for sure.
There is a pill for that know-it-all attitude. I think it is named "Chill," but I could be wrong.
After all of my healthcare experiences, I have learned the hard way that it can be CRUCIAL to be your own doctor and to KNOW WTF is going on, what the drugs are, what they do, what treatments are, how they work, etc., because of the mindlessness with which patients can be treated by many “healthcare” institutions.
I will agree to that. My son is autistic and was prone to physical outbursts in his teenage years. So much so that he was arrested 4 times and kept saying he wanted to kill himself. I researched the meds he was on...prescribed to him by a psychiatrist that had been in the field for decades. The Strattera was prescribed for ADHD, not Autism. It had the side effect of suicidal thoughts. I did about 2 hours of research and found that many people had success with Risperidal, a medication for Schizophrenia. But it took a court order from a judge to force the psychiatrist to change the medications. My son was calm and focused with 3 weeks.

This would explain why my doctor was so weird to me last time: he had probably just dealt with a twat like this. I usually get allergies and sinus stuff every Spring. When I went in a few months ago, he said, "So, what brings you here today?" He always says that. And I always say, "I've got sinus problems again". But this time, when I said that, he went on a rant about people thinking they know more than the doctor because they've been on Google. I said, "I'm sorry. Let's start over. You say, 'So, what brings you here today?' and I'll say, 'I have no idea. You're the doctor; you figure it out.'" He chuckled, called me a smartass and continued with the exam. I didn't think people actually acted like OP when they go to the doctor. To everyone who acts like that: please stop! My doctor used to be very sweet.
I go to the doctors to get diagnosed if I'm ill but have a nasty habit of ignoring warning signs. That's how I learned my persistent cough was actually my body telling me I have a heart problem. Dilated Cardiomyopathy (I think I spelled that right) I've studied it enough to know what its all about along with my Left Bundle Branch Block (I have a cardiac resynchronisation therapy pacemaker fitted (CRT-P). Any idiot who waits to get really sick is a definite contender for a Darwin Award. Point is though, I don't tell the doctor or the nurses what is wrong but I can understand them easier when they tell me what's wrong and what they need to do. As one nurse put it "It's faster when the patient understands because we don't need to reduce things to simpler and inaccurate vague descriptions and makes things faster" I got a lollipop that day (I was 45 at the time. I'm 48 now)
Eh, i have point blank told my Doc that she has the expertise and I have google. BUT, I have found a solution that she had not considered and asked her to look into it. Now that is what I use and she LOVES that particular solution and uses it on other patients. The point here is not that I know any better, but that I depended on her expertise, education, and experience to decide if what I thought would work was a good fit. She had not heard of or considered it before, and after research due to it being pointed out now uses it. Doctors don't know everything, but you can still ask and they can research what they do not know.
A lot of people addicted to pain killers and such will do this too though, so they might actually be thinking you're a junkie.
Hahaha oh dear, this is near enough what I do!!! I have a lot of ongoing health issues so when something flares up I usually know what it is and what to do about it. The doctor is happy to comply because I've never been wrong yet! Mind you there's always a first time....................... LOL
My dr would KILL me if I had an attitude like that....then stand over my mutilated body and say " What have I told you about google?"
I do all this, except the part where I tell the doctor what I think. I don’t want to influence their diagnosis one way or the other. Then if they “agree” with me, I am confident in the diagnosis and treatment and understand it. If they have a different opinion or advice, I can ask informed intelligent questions and increase my understanding or, as has happened many times, get them to modify their treatment. This has saved my life on more than one occasion.
they're speechless while thinking about how much they should slap him/her
And then they tell them they don't have whatever ailment they found on WebMD or Mystery Diagnosis.
I worked for a Dr. who would always reply by telling them the current fines and jail time they could get for practicing medicine without a license and walk out of the room for a few minutes. Most people apologized when he came back .
Yes i bet they love this as much as "well iv'e been looking it up on Google".
unless you studied yourself for hours on end, maybe, just maybe you can tell them that
Truly, go to medical school first, the height of arrogance for sure. Reading WebMD does not make you a doctor. Sorry, not sorry.

The rest of the tweet thread had the context that the random dude had been belittling her up to that point.
I used to get mad when people started to brag out of the blue about something they (thought they) have... And then, someone explained to me how that came from insecurities, and that they were not really trying to convince me or anyone else, but convince themselves, and I started to let it go and even not caring... And the fake bragging stopped too... sometimes!!
The thing is, there is a difference between being smart, and knowing things. Just because you have a high I.Q, does not mean you know everything. Also, because you know things, that does not necessarily mean you're smart. I'd like to think I'm somewhere in the middle, but in reality I'm probably a dumbass.
I like to think of it as academic smarts and street smarts. Those that are really high in one are generally challenged in the other. Both are needed and there is nothing wrong with being one or the other. Most people are middle line for both I think, plenty smart to earn a decent living and with common sense enough to get things done.

If we're being honest, a lot of us laughing at these people probably said some things along these lines when we were far younger.

All these people talking about how they can't enjoy a conversation with normal folks because they're SO intelligent... -.- I think what bothers me most about these is that a) we live in a time where there's so much to know, and so much newly discovered, that you can learn something interesting even from someone working in the same field as you *regardless of their intelligence* (and lets not START to get into what you can learn about an entirely different field...), and b) most people still mostly talk about their latest cool/fun/weird experience aka "subject where IQ hardly matters at all". Ye gods...
Isn't there some mental/brain disease that makes someone think they are more intelligent? Being overly sensitive does not mean someone is smarter. And someone who wants to learn is always better company than a Know It All. And, as a very smart guy once said to me: Do not mistake lack of specific knowledge means someone is stupid. Being people smart is far more rewarding that book smart.
