I only listen to the music that planets make in our neighboring Andromeda Galaxy (it's 2.537 light-years away from Earth - bet you didn't know that). My favorite book is the Necronomicon. 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. I would've totally made a better protagonist than Yagami Light in Death Note. 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.

The President
I will always remember when he stood before the United Nations, announcing that he had accomplished so much... and they laughed at him. Remember when we had presidents who could use complete sentences?
Yes. Both with fondness and sadness. Also, reminder to my countrymen, I don't care if you think whomever gets the opposing nomination is perfect or not. Just vote for them. Get behind them and push. We can be idealistic another year, for now we need to do everything in our power to get this maniac OUT.

What a disgrace. The checks and balances of the American presidential system clearly are not working. He has even managed to ditch the nuclear agreements with Russia.
That's how messed up he is- he ran for president before this election. Every day he proves what a ridiculously coddled, narcissistic, awful human being he is. AND... a former professor of his said he was one of the worst students he ever came across. He'd say that's fake news, of course.
Racists love him. Misogynists love him. People with low IQs think he is great.

"Mental stability and being like, really smart"? 0/2. Pardon me while I retch.
I've never actually read any of Trump's tweets. This is just sad and embarassing.
What a f*****t. There's a word that I save for truly special occasions.
He had no experience. Isn't this the guy that tried to build a wall in Colorado, because he thought New Mexico was a part of Mexico?
Beside 1987 didn’t he run in at least the last 3 elections and as Democratic previously ?
First try? Hasn’t he been trying since he was a Russian asset from 1987? 🤔

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.

Every time I see these posts about how intelligent people brag about how smart they are, I'm reminded of the movie "Idiocracy." The intelligent people were so busy being smart and waiting until the "right moment" to have kids, that they never had kids while the low intelligence population had kids galore. Guess who was occupying the world in the future... Intelligence doesn't mean anything if you are incapable of forming social connections. It's like spending your whole life walking over everyone to be the richest person on Earth, then spending the rest of the time wondering if the people that are around you love you for the person you are or the money you have.
I tell ya..I was called FirstName "Brain" Lastname as a nickname in school. I was a National Merit Finalist without practicing (or even knowing what these tests were for). In fact, the fact that I didn't know what the tests were for is the first clue that I was not AT ALL intelligent. I was smart, very smart, but not intelligent. I got almost straight As in college, was considered a "rock star" first 1 1/2 years out of college, and then dive bomb. Because I'm not INTELLIGENT. I can't communicate with people. I'm a software developer, and it is still VERY imporrtant to be able to communicate. I can't read my son to save my life and he's 30. I still don't know him, can't read him, can't guess what he likes. I have had no friends since 1999. I have a career, but I've contributed nothing of note and my son is a great kid, but has never really been happy because I wasn't a good Mom. Smart doesn't mean intelligent, and smart doesn't mean accomplished. And even intelligent doesn't mean useful

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. I once told a teacher: 'I'm sick of school work because I've been in school for so long now.' I was 18 at the time, finishing senior year in high school, hadn't stepped foot on a college campus yet.
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.
