What do you think how smart are you? Let's see who seems to have the biggest brain here.

Mine I guess was 95 now I am older I guess I am at 90.

When you do mental math are you much better than even smart people?
No joke, at a previous job my coworkers would call me the human calculator because I'd do the math in my head and tell people the answer before a person who was using a calculator could punch in the numbers.

I have met a lot of grind/book smart people and I have met a few actually high IQ people. You can definitely tell the difference between the two.

That is quite amazing. That means you have good memory too. Can you visualize stuff in your brain like an animation?

Being around those MENSA nutters made me realise of how little importance a 'high' IQ actually is. Having an IQ around 120 plus good social skills will get you much more in life than a 140+ range IQ (which often tends to go with poorer social skills).

Sometimes yes...I often can see code like that in my head as I am working to solve programming issues or doing bug fixes.

I can easily do this and calculate equations in my head, so it just proves my point how irrelevant your IQ score is lol.

I have a shiitty memory. There is the memory palace method to keep more things in my mind but it does not work with me. Did you ever try stuff like that?

For most things in life having an iq of 100 ( which is like slightly above average ) is more than enough

The higher the iq level after that, the more you will go towards the “autistic” side

Most of the wealthy people are not geniuses. Look at bill gates, he made most of the money from parenting software that he did not write

Not even Steve Jobs had a big iq

Seems like there are sometimes trade offs in the brain where some brain functions are bit weaker.

So you are at MENSA that is awesome. Maybe some members hava a chip on their shoulder and migh be to focused on even getting more smarter so social skills get worse. If they might focus on social skills they may get better at it but may diminish in other areas slightly.

Though when we look at Elon Musk it seems like he knows quite a lot stuff and learns new stuff from different fields very fast. People who know him tell that.
