Not respecting 'authority' is a good thing. The real problem is irrational adults, it's not on the smart kids to censor themselves for an irrational adult.
I mostly agree with this and cringed at this part of the video. I think it's really important not to discourage curiosity and the ability to rethink systems, traditions and such. If the questions aren't centered on a person's needs and beliefs in THEIR knowledge, it's likely an ego and combativeness problem. If someone is genuinely probing and sees the person answering as a valid source of information or at least a partner in discovery, that's VERY different and should be encouraged.
This is obviously not what he's talking about. He's talking about children's egocentric perspective; solipsism. In other words, he's talking about teaching the kid some humility. Kids, even if abnormally intelligent, lack experience in life. And experience is far more valuable than one's ability to rationalise. In other words, if you keep arguing with a 6 year old about whether or not they can eat ice cream before dinner, you're teaching the kid that using their intelligence to rationalize stupid decisions is more important than common wisdom regarding health. Something to seriously consider is that authority, if justified by truth, is absolutely necessary for a society to function because nobody is omniscient. TLDR; Good Will Hunting
I was in my thirties before I came across an IQ test on the internet. I tested in the 140's I thought that was just an internet site pandering to people so I went and took an official IQ test. Still in the 140's Then I thought about how my life had been and it answered so many questions. My father said college is a waste of time and that I should start work as soon as possible. I started bussing tables at 14. Started my own business at nineteen and was a millionaire before 40. Finally I knew why everything seemed so easy.

My God what's with some of these comments practically begging for validation I'm only here to know if it is possible to learn this power. Or are high IQ people just built different from us plebs? Seriously, it sucks so much having a lower-than-average IQ. Past a certain point, effort means nothing but jack shit
i think there are ways to be smarter and i think it starts with relearning things on the most basic level and expanding it as far as it can go. like for math take something simple like addition and multiplication and see how far you can go with just that until you build skills on thinking about things like that. i feel like it would apply to other things after a while. just wanting to know how things work is pretty big. not sure how closely that relates to iq though. iq sounds like it wants to say "some people are born this smart and are raised this way and that" and it really wants to be opposed to how people change and instead look for a non existent "natural intelligence". it really drives people to want to know that they are "good enough" by birthright that doesnt exist. and i think it it really makes no sense that intelligence is just about pattern solving.
Start visualizing. Practice staring at complex shapes with your eyes then drawing them inside your mind… Keep practicing until it gets easy. Start reading very high level books with words you can’t understand. Look up the definition to every single word that you don’t know. Once you understand a paragraph in that book, visualize what that paragraph was describing. Paint a picture in your mind using those complex words. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of skills, topics, events, etc. from which you can pick. Pick the ones that interest you and start doing this visualization exercise. It may or may not improve some aspects of your ability to generally figure things out; BUT it will help you to comprehend those things you’re interested in or that you enjoy. I hope you’re doing well, friend.
High IQ people are just like "high height" people - they are like anyone else, with their own struggles, issues, quirks, etc. It's not like they're some special species of human being. IQ has no correlation with personality and beyond IQ 120, achievement.
You can tell the kid with high IQ that you should know that people listen to people who have DONE things over many things. Actions speak louder than words, you can’t outdo actual stuff being done. Did you do it or not?
@@DaveWard-xc7vd yup, In general it’s hard to get people out of their comfort zone in the first place. If they saw the results tho they are very much more welcoming.

This block of text offers very little in the way of information that could allow anybody to estimate your IQ, although it's clear that you consider yourself to be above average. IQ tests are usually comprised of verbal, visual/spatial, processing speed, working memory, and fluid reasoning. Although it's basically impossible to increase your real FSIQ by more than one standard deviation, particularly if you're already on the higher end of the cognitive distribution, I would recommend practising reciting the letters in words backwards, reciting 1-10 digit numbers forwards and backwards, and in order from least to most, and I would also reccoment using visualisation to assist with memory ( The method of Loci ) and also I'd recommend getting a good amount of sleep every night preceding the IQ test and also eating healthily beforehand, frequently engaging in excercise particularly aerobic excercise, and also to remain hydrated each day before taking the test and the day that you take it, I would also recommend learning as many words as possible so that you can increase your verbal intelligence. If you take heed to all of the advice that I've provided you with, then you will score significantly higher than you would otherwise. P.S. If you have ADHD then make sure to take your medication so that your working memory is better, and if you have a mood disorder, then you should try and be as happy and as caln during and before the test as you possibly can be.
Nope. But I hear you. after hearing some things so much. enough intellectuals will learn to black out or burn out progressive thinking. this (might) come from a alcoholic mother or father/ learned behavior. needed essentials of certain life survival skills or aqquainted behavioral modals
It can to some extent. That the heritability of your IQ can change over time, from around 20% in childhood all the way up to 80% in adulthood suggests it can certainly change.
IQ is measured in comparison to people your own age. So when compared to other 15 year olds your IQ was 120 and now its 140. Its normal to change fromm chil/teenager to an adult and after that it is normal for it to start slowly decrease as you age.
@Sarah Bailey I'm not sure if this is precisely true. I've experienced from the ages of 17-18 what I could only describe as a rapid cognitive intensification, as if the the resolution at which I percieve reality/this world was amplified. I think some sort of transformation occured through integration of sophisticated introspective paradigms. I felt like a machine most of my life, I seem to have been reborn into a different person. I've yet to find any literature discussing this sort of phenomenon.
