I got kind of emotional listening to this. I'm in my twenties and you managed to put into words things I've asked myself for a good portion of my life. Thank you.
@@Abel.Abelson people that have the right temperment have an advantage in life this is never mentioned. Being a psychopath with high intelligence and no conscience are the true winners in society
@@chrisking6695 who in society does good. We behave and do nothing while psychopaths run things. Then we rationalize oir scripted lives as good and worthy of living
I don’t think I have a very high IQ, but I think it is always fascinating to see how other people think, whether they are autistic, smart, dumb, part of a cult, or a ‘normal person’ .
@@Abel.Abelson Is there a better one than understandmyself? I worry that the overrepresentation of people high in openness that take the test might be screwing with the scores(as I've heard that it compares your score to the mass of people that have taken it).
You’re probably have an iq between 120-128 + I think nobody is normal everybody is unique but social pressure culture defines so it became what people like to identify themselves as ‘normal’ if not in themselves at least in the company of others + I can tell from your comment that you’re an intuitive perspectival introvert right?
*Do you believe you're a good person? If so, then have you ever lied, stolen, cursed, committed adultery, or even murder? If the answer is YES, then you have sinned.* According to the Bible, sin is lawlessness. (1 John 3:4) In other words, you broke God’s law and you are His enemy. God’s enemies end up in Hell, which is a place where there is outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and torment that goes on forever with no rest. (Matthew 25:30, Matthew 25:31-36, 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10, Revelation 14:11) Anybody that ends up in Hell will NOT have a second chance after the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27) *Does that concern you?* You might be thinking, “I haven’t murdered anyone or committed any of the bigger sins worthy of hell.” Well, let’s see about that. Did you know that having hatred towards someone like your own brother or sister makes you a murderer at heart? (Matthew 5:21-22 and 1 John 3:15) If you ever looked at a person that you are not married to with lust (sexual desire), then you have already committed adultery with them in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you have ever said, "Oh my God," or "Jesus Christ," to express frustration or annoyance, then you have used the Lord's name in vain and used it in place of a curse word. That is called “blasphemy.” You wouldn't use your loved one's name as a curse word, would you? By saying His name in place of a curse word, you have insulted your creator. He has given you life, eyes to see, ears to hear, and taste buds for food. *If you have committed ANY one of these sins, then you are destined to go to hell. Do you know what God did for guilty sinners, so that they wouldn’t end up in hell?* *We have all sinned. (Romans 3:23) So, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to bear our sins. He was buried in a tomb and rose on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He showed His love toward us by dying for us while we were still sinners (His enemies) so that He could redeem us. God's wrath is on those who remain in their sins and do not believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. We all deserve to be sent to hell. However, Jesus made a way for us to be free from our sins and now wants us to live a different life. If you TRULY BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you, then you must repent (turn away from your sins and forsake them), be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (born again by water and Spirit), and live for Him with the help of His Holy Spirit, which will help you live a godly/holy life on this Earth. We live as saints (not sinners) to show our gratitude for the love He has shown to us by taking up the cross. We must have faith (believe/trust) in Jesus Christ, and by the grace of God, it will lead us to salvation. Also, FEAR GOD to stay away from evil and the things that would otherwise morally corrupt us, and continue to faithfully and obediently follow the Lord to the end (Hebrews 5:9)* "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7) “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Matthew 7:21-23) "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) "Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21) “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ ” (Mark 8:34-38) "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:38) "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38) "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:1-4) "For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:13-14) "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (Romans 10:9-13) "Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.' " (2 Timothy 2:19) "For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14) "For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15) "But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17) “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9) *That was the Gospel message. Believe in the Gospel and obey the Lord Jesus Christ!*
I had a friend that tested extremely high on the iq test and I have tested right above being technically retarded I always found it interesting how I studied non stop for some of my high school classes to hopefully get a D or C and he would never study missed most of the classes and always aced everything but he was always depressed and then got addicted to drugs and took his life shortly after I always felt like things should have been switched and I should have been the one depressed not the one with all the talent if I could have lived in his shoes for a day I fill like I could have been a better friend to him and maybe even kept him here I really enjoyed the video and appreciate your insight on things
Thanks for commenting, glad you like the videos :) You shouldn't feel guilty at all, or think you could/should have been a better friend. Everyone does what he/she needs to do. Your friend had his round in this life and did what he had to do with it. We all do...
You should not feel any sense of responsibility over your friend's suicide. Extremely high intelligence is not just a gift, but also a burden. He would feel alienated from his peers, and have many frustrations and concerns that most others would not know about. The negative critical introspection of an intelligent mind, is capable of multiplying emotional issues very quickly, and drugs could have initially numbed him to his pain, but would ultimately exacerbate the problem. This problem is not of your doing and it is not something you could fix. It is next to impossible that you could say or do anything that would change his mind about his issues and make him believe and feel that his life was worth living.
Don't blame yourself. Things happen, and sometimes we can not avoid or stop them, from happening. He had a hard life and now, he is in a better place and much happier.
Dmitry Terek Aggressive? I haven’t seen that in my experience in the LGBTQ world. What I have seen is more sexual “aggression” than you would see in cisgendered females.
I once smoked weed and watched an episode of Beavis and Butthead and it was painful because I tried to reason their actions and kind of walk in their shoes.
I use to overthink stuff a ton of times and I did get to use that strategy but then again I never thought of myself as gifted and many people never thought I was gifted.I also was very sensitive and could emotionally understand adults and children, many who were in my age were rude didn’t even understand the “why”.
Yeah, exactly. I've always been gifted and did a ton of my shit throughout my still short life. I have had problems with the poloce on multiple occasions. However I'd still say I haven't done nearly as much shit as some of my gifted friends have, since I'm asocial. All of them have problems with drugs, alcohol. I overcame that. However it is not just bad. Most got into good universities. All of them hardly ever studied but were among the best.
@max That's my point exactly. You need a baseline intelligence. For example, someone with a severely impaired working memory simply can not temporarily retain and manipulate information for long enough or in a complex enough way to arrive at "wisdom". This of course is rare. Wisdom is a funny word. Means different things to different people. Part of it i would argue is good judgement, something people who are low functioning struggle with. I am reminded of a certain youtuber who for all intents and purposes groomed an intellectually impaired girl into running away from her family and starting a life with this individual. The courts (in Canada) found that this girl did not have the faculties to consent to this and was returned to her family. This is all a long winded way of saying that there is unquestionably a correlation, however small
exactly, there are tons of high IQ personalities on the high ends of society. And yet our society lead by those people is heading straight into the abyss.
@@emilsinclair6202 Well to play devils advocate. What would happen if, for example we elect a politician that has an IQ of 85. Now we are faced with an additional problem. Not only is he most likely a corrupt, self interested and a lying politician. He is also underqualified cognitively. People with an IQ of 85 generally work simple, monotonous jobs (according to data). Do you see what I'm getting at? The fact that politicians and leaders are doing a pore job does not therefore mean that less intelligent people would do any better and i'd argue that they'd do worse. It sound really mean to say but i don't buy this idea that an intellectually challenged person can achieve the same "wisdom" as a person of average or high intelligence
I used to identify as an intellectual but I found it too socially isolating. I traded that life for a more gym/sport oriented life as well as chasing girls and smoking weed etc. and made social gains as a result which inevitably compromised my intellectual passions. It's a trade off which hasn't necessarily resulted in increased QoL as you gain the benefits of positive social interaction (reduced stress, wellbeing, enhanced sense of self worth) but lose the depth of intense passion for subjects, languages etc which bring a unique sense of personal satisfaction and achievement. I envy people who are mentally strong enough to withstand that social isolation without compromising their identity as an intellectual because in school or even at home with family members it can make you feel incredibly alone.
For many people, there is no mental strength involved in withstanding social isolation. It is just as completely natural/comfortable. It just depends on who you are. Living a more inward-focused thinking kind of life is just as easy for some as living an extroverted outward-focused kind of life is for others.
Wtf man, b Just go to the campus of harvard or some other smart ass campus or find some other type of venue where you easily can find "smart" people like "you". Remember associative mating ,aka :like attracts like.
See, you’re not all that intelligent if you fall for the psychological pitfalls of society. Most of the stuff you ‘value’ in terms of social standing are just things that less intelligent people are conditioned to believe or need. Generally, if you’re more intelligent than other people, it’s almost impossible to ‘force yourself’ to socialize and pursue that life. Because you’re constantly contemplating the point of it all. Life itself already has no point and pursuing social endeavors is as far from self satisfaction as you can get. Because in order to be social, you actually have to give up part of yourself. People generally don’t care about you, they want to think and talk about themselves. Which is also exhausting to an intelligent person. Why would someone who contemplates the fact that time and space switch spots in a black hole care about social drama between Becky and Sue?
Your part about the IQ test made me laugh out loud because it hit so close to home. "I would have the tendency to explode in all kinds of possibilities and complex kinds of answers. But no, I had to think dumb." This was exactly my experience, but I've never told anyone because I'm aware how arrogant it comes across. But still, it's the truth, and I laughed because you're the first person putting it into words for me.
I remember doing some IQ type pattern reasoning test and I'd also think up of all different ways to guess the pattern (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't), but I'd basically waste a lot of time exploring different complex ways of what the pattern could turn out to be. Then I get a sense that its a much more simpler pattern and I'm like wtf is wrong with me...
I'd do this in school too, lol. I'd also be thinking that everything was a trick question and that, technically, the answer could or would be something else.
Yea, meditating a bit on one of those patterns, coming up with option C, D , E, contemplating which one to note, while the single correct one was option A.... In my opinion such tests are flawed by design because of that. You should be able to e.g. note the pattern you came up with somewhere. If it checks out its technically a correct answer.
Maaaan, i couldn't even finish middle school, repeted 3 times before i droped out due to depression, this led me to think i was the dumbest guy alive despite every other new person i've met expressing how smart they tought i was, intreagued by it, i decided to take some iq tests, 13 to be precise, and i kept getting increasely dumbfounded by every each result that avereged out in 146 iq points. This filled my mind with doubt and anxiety at a point that i felt that finally should seek pro counseling, since how could a supposedly smart person be so uncapable as i was? After some time of counseling i was diagnosed with ADHD, that made just absolute sense and my life have gotten so much better since.
Those people are unlikely to use the word „spectrum“ correctly, or know what „ex machina“ means or make a pun of it. Never would they have left a non-aggressive comment under this video. They’re not „stupid“ but their interests are not very broad. You talk to them for a while and then you think everything has been said. You would have to start a new topic but you won’t.
The most ironic part of this video is that everyone commenting about their intelligence apparently isn't smart enough to figure out this is an advertisement. Literal first line of the description. Actually intellectually gifted people aren't on TH-cam seeking validation like a bunch of teenagers lmao..keep coping y'all
@@jigglyjello7334 That’s you, trying to bring up consciousness over nothing lmao. You know what they say about people going after character instead of the point.

I took IQ test with pyschologist and also while college and scored 154 and 149, respectively. I also have ADHD, both social and generalized anxiety, and extremely introverted. I am an overthinker and spend most of days going down rabbit holes on almost anything (can research on internet 10 hours a day). I don't feel "normal"; almost like I am trapped in my thoughts. I feel my IQ really just equates to having more common sense than most people and having the ability to logically resolve most issues. My grades were just average, I struggle to concentrate in classes and if not for acing exams , I would have failed college. While I make an upper middle wage income, I don't think having a high IQ really has benefitted me but maybe because of the ADHD and anxiety.
That sounds similar to my own experiences, except I can be both introvert and extroverted at times. I spend most of my free time reading online and TH-cam. I used to spend 8 hrs per day at the library (while not enrolled in school). I’ve only taken an online IQ test and scored a 127, which aren’t accurate. It has been suggested that I would likely score higher on the official IQ test that covers more abilities than the online version. I just finished a nursing program which was not a problem for me. Thanks for sharing.
I have an IQ of about 170 I was also blessed with a thing called Asperger’s. Which came with chronic depression and anxiety and with that habitual procrastination so yeah I basically suck at talking with anyone new and can’t even garner up the courage to even do it in the first place. But yeah 20 years old no job no plan no girl no house (own). But yeah I’m exactly like you. Brains aren’t the end all be all
@@LePookieBear00 am a 17 year old with a IQ over 195. Since young, I developed the interest of doing a lot of science experiments for which my parents opposed against it. One day, my parents banned me from doing science experiments when I injured part of my face due to a explosion from a science experiment. From then I was really confined within my thoughts. I really had a hard time making friends since young as they didn't understand topics of my interest which was innovation,human civilization and science fiction. I experienced all forms of bullying since young at school due to the fact of being perceived different from them.Currently I am now suffering from Social isolation with no support from my family members and no friends at all for the past 17 years. My dream is to introduce concepts which is revolutionary and innovative to the world in the future.
@@shaneethan523My iq is over 200 accidentally killed my parents doing my basement nuke experiments 😢 since then I am living alone in an apartment having social anxiety overthinking etc 😢.
Thank you for this video. It’s incredibly liberating to see someone who experiences so many things in a similar way as I do. I’ve always felt like there was something wrong with me, that I was weird. For a long time, I carried very strong self-hating thoughts. My brain actually brought me down to the point where I believed I was dumber than most people and that I’d never achieve anything. Gradually, though, I’ve started to see that this feeling came from not fitting in with others, and they made me feel like I didn’t belong (and my brain completely used that against me). On top of that, the things I thought were “stupid” turned out to be signs of intelligence. Believing in my intelligence and abilities is a new thing for me-maybe within the last three years. I still think deeply about many things, and what you mentioned about IQ tests-that you need to think simply-I completely resonate with that. School used to feel too boring, unnecessary, or incomprehensible to me because I function differently than most people. Sometimes, I’d get really bad results on certain tests, but all it took was transferring to a private school in eighth grade, and suddenly, I excelled in many areas. Self-awareness and finding meaningful connections are currently the most important things in my life. My intelligence has led me into really difficult situations, but perhaps, in the end, it will lead me to much more beautiful things. It’s a double-edged sword. It can either help us tremendously or completely destroy us. I wish you the best in your life. It’s amazing that you’ve realized why certain things happened to you and have gradually transformed your life. Even though it’s sometimes challenging-I know what you’re talking about-I truly wish for you to feel as content as possible :).
I am impressed at how similar our lives experiences are. I am also in the 133-ish IQ range and also often felt that people were oddly reckless, unfoundedly confident yet egotistically fragile, depending on the context. I am also a sensitive person and often felt people tend to be ruthless as long as their immediate comfort isn't challenged.
I have felt like I was a coward because I wouldnt take physical challenges that others would. Like avoiding a fight in a bar where had I fell. I might have gotten a concussion or worse on the hard floor.

He has given you life, eyes to see, ears to hear, and taste buds for food. *If you have committed ANY one of these sins, then you are destined to go to hell. Do you know what God did for guilty sinners, so that they wouldn’t end up in hell?* *We have all sinned. (Romans 3:23) So, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to bear our sins. He was buried in a tomb and rose on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He showed His love toward us by dying for us while we were still sinners (His enemies) so that He could redeem us. God's wrath is on those who remain in their sins and do not believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. We all deserve to be sent to hell. However, Jesus made a way for us to be free from our sins and now wants us to live a different life. If you TRULY BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you, then you must repent (turn away from your sins and forsake them), be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (born again by water and Spirit), and live for Him with the help of His Holy Spirit, which will help you live a godly/holy life on this Earth. We live as saints (not sinners) to show our gratitude for the love He has shown to us by taking up the cross. We must have faith (believe/trust) in Jesus Christ, and by the grace of God, it will lead us to salvation. Also, FEAR GOD to stay away from evil and the things that would otherwise morally corrupt us, and continue to faithfully and obediently follow the Lord to the end (Hebrews 5:9)* "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7) “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Matthew 7:21-23) "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) "Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21) “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ ” (Mark 8:34-38) "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:38) "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38) "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:1-4) "For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:13-14) "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (Romans 10:9-13) "Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.' " (2 Timothy 2:19) "For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14) "For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15) "But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17) “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9) *That was the Gospel message. Believe in the Gospel and obey the Lord Jesus Christ!*
We are all egostically fragile, just look at your long narcissistic rant here... Many gifted people are a bit spoiled, self obsessed and narcissistic Steven Hawking: " people that mention their IQ are losers"
This…this 100%. Reading this comment and a lot of the others makes me think that maybe we are part of an entirely different group of humans. These comments reinforce what I’ve been thinking my entire life.
I feel I often overthink and overcomplicate the world. The key to understanding, is trying to understand something in its simplest form. Sometimes you don't need to second guess the obvious
Yes, it's terrible. It's understandable from their viewpoint, their hierarchical status is at risk by your mere existence, so of course they attack in the ways they can. But that doesn't make it any more pleasant of course, nor a reason to simply undergo it. On the conrtrary actually, once you understand what they're really doing (what the social meaning of it is for them, and why they naturally revert to this kind of behavior), it becomes almost logical to not accept any of it and react efficiently.
This sounds a bit like something my mom would say.. They don’t hate you, the’re just jealous.. But wouldn’t an intelligent person adapt? Seems to me like you decided to blame others for your problems..
I was the most bullied boy during my whole childhood, but I didn’t feel gifted at all. I am still not liked by most people, the difference is that I am got used to it. I haven’t done the IQ test yet. I feel so related to what he is saying, every time I try to help people doing something better, and hey get offended or angry.
Brother I got picked on everyday, and a pop can thrown at my head.. and I’m as dumb as dirt. I respect you all. You have to have incredible patience with us serfs. ❤️
It takes some serious balls to make a video being this vulnerable and transparent but through this type of honesty we learn a bit more about ourselves. Thank you my brother for opening up.
*Do you believe you're a good person? If so, then have you ever lied, stolen, cursed, committed adultery, or even murder? If the answer is YES, then you have sinned.* According to the Bible, sin is lawlessness. (1 John 3:4) In other words, you broke God’s law and you are His enemy. God’s enemies end up in Hell, which is a place where there is outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and torment that goes on forever with no rest. (Matthew 25:30, Matthew 25:31-36, 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10, Revelation 14:11) Anybody that ends up in Hell will NOT have a second chance after the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27) *Does that concern you?* You might be thinking, “I haven’t murdered anyone or committed any of the bigger sins worthy of hell.” Well, let’s see about that. Did you know that having hatred towards someone like your own brother or sister makes you a murderer at heart? (Matthew 5:21-22 and 1 John 3:15) If you ever looked at a person that you are not married to with lust (sexual desire), then you have already committed adultery with them in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you have ever said, "Oh my God," or "Jesus Christ," to express frustration or annoyance, then you have used the Lord's name in vain and used it in place of a curse word. That is called “blasphemy.” You wouldn't use your loved one's name as a curse word, would you? By saying His name in place of a curse word, you have insulted your creator.

@@ericwoods6286 you don't know shit about narcissism. Top thing narcissists do is to point to others being narcissists so they can divert from themselves. It's simple fact that most people on this earth are stupid fucking idiots and intelligent people look for those videos because being intelligent in a world of dumb cunts is depressing af. You actually feel like you're the retarded one when it's the other way around.
My IQ is rather high and I struggle with simple tasks. I don't know why I get lost very easily when I travel. I don't know why I struggle to put together a simple Ikea table. I struggle socially. I even struggle learning video games and have slow reaction times. Then when it comes to patterns I can solve them in seconds. I know a lot of information about almost any topic and I don't know why. I am also extremely creative. Yet I live on a disability and many people think im stupid.
@@pocket83squared dont care, im hot. full head of hair. perfect vision. perfect teeth. great proportions. im a work of art. ill reproduce just fine thanks bozo. and my kids will be good too
I don't like saying gifted. It implies it is a universally desirable trait. In a dark room of monsters it is not always fun to have the best eyes. It is like having a hardware interface that is beyond the capacity of the majority of the network to integrate ending up being no more a gift to the user experience than were their hardware a little below.
@@IDGAG dude to be brutally honest you just sound like another smart egocentric person who thinks you are smarter than everyone and no one will understand you. In fact all the theories and ideas you just made up in you head are nothing and it means little compared to all the concepts made by the thinkers and scientists that lived before. Why think so hard and blame your own head for making no sense rather than actually learning and trying to make sense out of all the studies and struggles the scientists and philosophers did and the profound concepts and answers they came up with. Be humble and always be thirsty for knowledge and everything will start to make sense. Although like you said nothing really doesn't matter, that part was right But you have one life and if you are here breathing and alive with a brain capable of thinking and absorbing knowledge, Then make great use of it and waste no more time.
@@mandakhbayar.m8298 his points were clear in my opinion. Not the best construct but I can understand and did not see his comment as being ego driven. In the past I feared bragging about such things that I decided were "good". I've always thanked god for blessing me with a strong moody mind and spirit aswell as the understanding neccessary to guide and take guidance form my sis/bros. Proudly declare that you are a strong and powerful man/woman. Thank god for the gifts that he has given you and never look to the ground when one questions your ability. I believe wholeheartedly that it was you who lacked the neccessary understanding to embrace his message. Not entirely but yes in this moment I would say so. Love and peace. My memory is fuzzy but there was a very intelligent mass murderer who was deemed gifted. I m sure you understand my meaning but simply put I'd imagine that ones ability to score highly wouldn't indicate gifted levels of what I would call societally acceptable rationale. Culture and living experience will still play a large role in ones personality. Love and peace.
Never been tested but wow, I can relate so much to this. The wanting to help, the boredom at school (even tested as a child and recommended for advanced programs) poor parental upbringing (never put me in the programs), the constant analyzing, the inability to "get along with others". So much man. Even the "going back in time" thing..lots of rumination. You've validated so much. Thanks for sharing :)
Hi Sean, great! It's exactly this kind of (self-)recognition I'd like to realize with my videos, really glad it was meaningful! And thanks for letting me know :) Check out my books too! amzn.to/3paQsmz
@@Abel.Abelson Just did; "How to handle neurotypicals" looks like a very interesting read. I appreciate your mind, man. You might just provide the very answers I have been seeking for at least a decade. Really glad I stumbled on channel. May you find all the answers you are seeking yourself.
Our school system and a lot of schools (in the US) have a gifted or challenge class in which you are tested in the first grade and if your IQ is around 120-130 then you get put into that class. I had the opportunity to do so. And if you were wondering what we did in that class, well we would just do puzzles and we would read more difficult books. I remember dissecting a couple of more things than I did in regular classes. We would come up with solutions to hypothetical problems and talk about them.That is just a really really vague description but it will do I suppose.
The highly intelligent person is never bored. Even if the teacher is talking about something which seems obvious the mind of the highly intelligent person is working beyond it and thinking of interesting alternatives. People of average intelligence are the ones that bore easily.
My ma has an iq of 141 from one of these iq tests. The legit ones. I have always felt weird and different and can relate alot to this lad except, I did terrible in school and socially I say things sometimes that are logically and unequivocally true where people don't seem to want to know those things and it ends in a negative interaction more than not when I do this. But I've been told I may have autism. I may take one of these tests because who knows. Hopefully my ma's intelligence rubbed off on me and that could explain things. Then I need to get checked for autism I think cause my social skills lack pretty badly. This is very insightful and really expresses a wealth of experience that is really awesome to be shared in such a genuine way. Not like alot of youtube. Thank you for this.
I’m 20 years old. When I went to the psychiatrist he made me do a supervised IQ test I’ve also had a result of 133 but he told me I’m not using my gift the way I’m supposed to. Watched your video hoping I’d find an answer to how I’d use my gift, but instead found a very wise and grounded person and you just gave me hope that it’s not too late to start using my IQ in the right place. I look up to you
Glad it was of some help to you! And thanks for your kind comment :) You might be someone who would find meaning in my book (see video description), judging your comment and previous comments by readers...
Lot’s of self-satisfied people on the comments. Doesn’t mean anything if you don’t do anything with it. Stop compensating, step it up or accept yourself. Too many of you are saying how great you could’ve been… our world is based on ambition.
My IQ has been measured at 141. I am able to grasp things very, very quickly. When learning something new it almost seems that I'm _remembering_ it rather than learning it. What is strange though is that if I don't use what I've learned I forget it really quickly. In social situations I basically imitate what others do around me, I'm not great at fitting in. I'm irritated by and awed by other people. My hobby is thinking, one of my greatest pleasures in life is to lie awake at night for hours on end just thinking. I can never get to sleep quickly, it always takes me a minimum of an hour no nod off. I share your love of Star Trek. I don't watch many TV programs, but Star Trek and Sherlock Holmes are my absolute favourites. I love reading, Sci-Fi and Fantasy ara amongst my favourites. I really hate loud noises. I love quiet. I'm a really good programmer - that's what I do for a living. I'm ashamed to say that I'm really enjoying not having to interact physically with people during lockdown. I'm dreading all of the hugs that people are threatening to inflict on eachother when/if this pandemic comes to an end.
Hey Michael, I enjoy the lockdown too, for the most part, and I'm not ashamed to say or think or feel so. I'm not hurting anyone in being an introvert and enjoying peace and calm (and the more environmentally friendly lifestyles of other people, be it unwanted). I used to imitate a lot too, but I found out it isn't necessary. They actually don't give a hoot about you, as long as you don't get in their way. And if you get in their way, and "own" your point or stance, they'll even respect it, and it's not a problem either. So you can actually be yourself to a large degree, they don't care. The only thing you have to do, is not overexpose yourself. Their screaming indifference is your safe haven. I know it sounds like publicity, but you might be interested in my latest book "How to handle neurotypicals" bit.ly/neurotp. It's a lifetime of learning in a condensed format, it's meant to be informative, and "connect" between neurodivergents at the same time. Should ring some belles here and there for you, and might give you a fresh perspective. Also, check out my video on the 2D:4D ratio, prenatal testosterone and the influence on brain and behavior, it might also be an eye-opener for you... th-cam.com/video/OmbEaBfzKFk/w-d-xo.html. And have a great day! :)
You know, having just read your post, I agree with the not-being-able-to-fall-asleep part. One of the hardest things for me, would be to fall asleep without 'exploding' in thought. I like to compare my brain to a pinball machine. All it takes is just one 'thrust', or thought, and all of a sudden I am bouncing off of the walls, so to speak.
Hahaha!! Though I have absolutely no idea what my IQ is, don't care either, I too can relate to alot of this and found the part about enjoying the lockdown hilarious because where I'm at, I seem to be the only one that prefers not having to physically interact with so many people.😄 That could also just be a personality trait which has it's roots in other areas. Who knows. Maybe we're just weird like that.🤷♀️
I got into trouble and ended up taking an IQ test. When they told me that I was gifted and that 98% of the world was more stupid than me I felt strange. BTW my sister was diagnosed as a sociopath and her IQ was identical to mine.
I’m going out on limb but I don’t think anyone would say that 98% of the population is dumber than the person who is gifted. If they did they don’t understand gifted.
@@eraybulgaria I am not being arrogant when I call people with lower iq stupid. I had always felt that I was stupid. One strange thing is that there are a lot of people out there who think that they are perfection personified when it is obvious that they are compromised intellectually. Plus my psychologist said that iq was a bit fluid and a person had about a 10 point range - good days and bad days.
Man sees a thing and names it[] I see a thing and name it [] you see a thing and name it......wait a minute what's a thing??? What's what? ??? .....????.......???????????????????????
I have never been able to relate to people. I always wondered why people talk about the things they do. My saving grace has been philosophy. In particular Epictetus, Seneca, and Plato. Philosophy to me is like a shining light of order, in in a world of darkness and chaos... I highly recommend Philosophy
I understand, but I came to see philosophy as completely missing the point. Like lost in its own fumes completely, and although they think they talk about the world, they actually don't even realize where their own butt is (they "know" where it is, but they don't realize it). Completely missing the acute here.
@@Abel.Abelson I think the Enchiridion of Epictetus Translated by Elizabeth Carter is by far the best. I too would have thought philosophy was a bunch of pretentious old farts had i not read this first.. Like Plato's republic, just wow so drawn out and dull. If you haven't read the enchiridion by Epictetus, i would strongly recommend giving it a chance, that book changed my outlook on life more than any other.. I'll be sure to check out your book ..
@@gameshot586 My biggest problem with philosophy is that most, if not all, is based on the blank slate paradigm. Meaning they talk about "the human" this and that ("the human condition", etc), but actually there are innate neurological differences between (groups of) humans that are so huge that there's nothing you can say in general about the human experience/existence/... that makes sense, if you see what I mean. All of them blissfully unaware of neurodiversity and how your individual neurological setup defines your inner and outer world. The only philosopher I kind of like, and in retrospect, that acknowledged neurodiversity in an instinctive way, was Diogenes of Sinope. Cool guy :) Story goes an emperor who was an admirer of his came to see him while he was sitting outside, and asked him what he could give him, and Diogenes replied "if you could just move aside a few inches, you're blocking my sun" :)
Yes, as long as you don't see their characteristics for what they really are, and (next step in the process) accept them (easier said than done, but not at all impossible), you can't help but try to help and be irritated by them (or hate them) at the same time. Check out my book "How to handle neurotypicals" bit.ly/neurotp, it's written with respect to all of that. I think reading it you'll partly recognize yourself, partly pick up some interesting information on the way.
As another person who’s been called ‘gifted,’ I really relate to what you said. There was a time in my childhood that I tried to dumb myself down in an attempt to gain social capital. It really just ended up making me look like the class clown, which didn’t help anyone relate to me. It caused me to fall behind and develop unhealthy responses to work and stressors, which are becoming much more prominent now that I’m further along in my education. For any other ‘giftees’ reading this, don’t do what I did. Being yourself is the only satisfying way to be. Also, educate yourself about Asperger’s, OCPD, and ADHD. They’re extremely under diagnosed and I would hesitate a guess that at least half of the gifted kids at my school were on the Asperger’s spectrum. If you constantly feel like you see the world in a different way than other people, that’s a big clue. It’s important to understand how this condition can affect you because the world is built to serve the needs of neurotypical people.
Thanks for sharing, I agree completely! Concerning "the world is built to serve the needs of neurotypical people", once you get certain fundamentals right and wise up on them, the world can also become your oyster again ;) For you and everyone else reading this: check out my book "How to handle neurotypicals" bit.ly/neurotp !
@@JohnCena-le1jj No need to be all dramatic and deterministic ;) Life is one big surfing party. I'd rather say he jumped a ship that wasn't seaworthy anyway, and is taking another one (and learning to swim).
thanks for this. i tested for 143 a year back, at 16. thanks to you its starting to make sense why I feel like no one thinks properly and like they are dumb even though i dont get good grades. This helps so much.
That's how I felt for a good period of time until I started reaching out to others in similar communities. Communities like tech, science, and creative arts (everyone wants to be an artist but I'm talking about musicians, etc. that are good enough to actually make money out of it) tend to have a higher abundance of others with a high IQ. I actually met my wife because we were both doing creative arts for a living at the time. I've since moved on to I.T. because I love it and it makes a better living but that's what prompted us to get to know each other. It's the basic notion of finding out what you're interested in, then finding others in the same subject.
There’s this painting in which dozens of ladders jut from a mind in a precarious stack towards a light, but the structure becomes completely untenable just short of it. That’s what having an _almost_ above average IQ is like. I’d trade a bit more loneliness for the real deal tbh.
You can also use your intelligence to learn social cues and develop better emotional intelligence. One big issue with us high IQ people is that we just specialize in one kind of knowledge. When we work on different aspects of ourselves including the ones we're lacking we are able to handle more situations with ease.
@@smartjackasswisdom1467 Yeah I feel grateful that at a young age I realized my lack of social ability and used my intelligence to develop better social cues and in general interact with people better. I indulged myself in their interest and soon found the commonalities between what I find of interest and what they do. Ive grown up knowing that the majority of what I love wont be understood by the masses but I understand the majority of what the masses love and it helps make it all feel less lonely.
I have a similar IQ to yours and I don’t know if you have ever felt this, but when you know you are gifted it puts a lot of pressure on you, people expect you to be like a new Albert Einstein or something and it just makes me feel like I’m not good enough. Lately I’ve been thinking about how I’m no longer the one I used to be and that I’m starting to be dumber and dumber and it just... makes me feel like I gave away my gift
I have people in my life that, like yourself, feel they are getting dumber and dumber over time. Now I won’t tell you my IQ score, only because I’m a big believer that intelligence can’t possibly be measured by a test. However, I’m 26 and I feel like my cognitive performance, my empathy, and my overall intelligence is improving immensely. And this is because I go to great strides to exercise and care for my brain. As the saying goes "use it or lose it".
My dear foreign friend,trust me,can you tell why you aren't pursuing your goals in life and live your life to its fullest while you could do it easily and way better than your peers? Can you just answer this simple question?
Try to see it on The biological way, firstly. Which means that you should do as much as you can to keep your Brain healthy. Try to improve your routine, to take out bad things. And then you try to get your ideas together. This in a long time. Take it easy and slowly! Good luck, bro!
were the conditions before more enjoyable and now more threatening? did you have more confidence because of competent conditions which result you can repeat right now? If so, the results would be better or worse? If has to do with information, it’s normal to forget. If it has to di with age, it’s normal for gifted children to have stuff that is too easy (and a lot of classmates that perform less than they are expected by the government, criteria that is low fir gifted people). The Dunning-Kruger effect can happen in any decil, because competence and confidence (whether low or high) its there. Maybe you noticed flaws you didn’t see before, but that is part of your personal journey. Do you have a project more complex that you had before? that is also part of you getting more developed: the thing is that you didn’t have to put the same effort as the other people under a far less chaotic environment, in which you are a possibility that is not being helped as it should, because gifted children are also special needs
heh as a fellow highly intellectual person myself *pats back* I can concur with your exquisite observations. We are truly the most intelligent people among us.
We have almost identical stories. I didn't really even START to wrap my head around how different I was until my 30's. Everything you're describing is what I've been doing for years now (I'm 55). It can be hard to talk about because the vast majority of people, literally, can't understand. I'm happy for you and good video.
*Do you believe you're a good person? If so, then have you ever lied, stolen, cursed, committed adultery, or even murder? If the answer is YES, then you have sinned.* According to the Bible, sin is lawlessness. (1 John 3:4) In other words, you broke God’s law and you are His enemy. God’s enemies end up in Hell, which is a place where there is outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and torment that goes on forever with no rest. (Matthew 25:30, Matthew 25:31-36, 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10, Revelation 14:11) Anybody that ends up in Hell will NOT have a second chance after the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27) *Does that concern you?* You might be thinking, “I haven’t murdered anyone or committed any of the bigger sins worthy of hell.” Well, let’s see about that. Did you know that having hatred towards someone like your own brother or sister makes you a murderer at heart? (Matthew 5:21-22 and 1 John 3:15) If you ever looked at a person that you are not married to with lust (sexual desire), then you have already committed adultery with them in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you have ever said, "Oh my God," or "Jesus Christ," to express frustration or annoyance, then you have used the Lord's name in vain and used it in place of a curse word. That is called “blasphemy.” You wouldn't use your loved one's name as a curse word, would you? By saying His name in place of a curse word, you have insulted your creator. He has given you life, eyes to see, ears to hear, and taste buds for food. *If you have committed ANY one of these sins, then you are destined to go to hell. Do you know what God did for guilty sinners, so that they wouldn’t end up in hell?* *We have all sinned. (Romans 3:23) So, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to bear our sins. He was buried in a tomb and rose on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He showed His love toward us by dying for us while we were still sinners (His enemies) so that He could redeem us. God's wrath is on those who remain in their sins and do not believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. We all deserve to be sent to hell. However, Jesus made a way for us to be free from our sins and now wants us to live a different life. If you TRULY BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you, then you must repent (turn away from your sins and forsake them), be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (born again by water and Spirit), and live for Him with the help of His Holy Spirit, which will help you live a godly/holy life on this Earth. We live as saints (not sinners) to show our gratitude for the love He has shown to us by taking up the cross. We must have faith (believe/trust) in Jesus Christ, and by the grace of God, it will lead us to salvation. Also, FEAR GOD to stay away from evil and the things that would otherwise morally corrupt us, and continue to faithfully and obediently follow the Lord to the end (Hebrews 5:9)* "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7) “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Matthew 7:21-23) "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) "Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21) “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ ” (Mark 8:34-38) "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:38) "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38) "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:1-4) "For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:13-14) "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (Romans 10:9-13) "Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.' " (2 Timothy 2:19) "For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14) "For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15) "But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17) “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9) *That was the Gospel message. Believe in the Gospel and obey the Lord Jesus Christ!*
Same. Started figuring this out in my twenties. I also couldn't believe that I could be gifted, as I always had very low self esteem and was very self conscious.
I have an IQ of 137-142, unsure of exact number now. I am finishing medical school soon and starting training in psychiatry. I prefer to spend most of my free time alone. I know a tremendous amount about my hobbies and am easily bored with people who don't know a lot about at least something. I have also had troubles in the past, like social phobia/anxiety and severe alcohol and drug addiction when a teenager, but I have been recovered from the latter for 10 years. My life struggle is the difficulty in communicating my complicated philosophies and knowledge systems to others--for me, they are like instantaneous visions, if that makes any sense, and verbalizing these takes a lot of words. Sometimes I must resort to telling people, "I'm right about this. Just trust me." And my other difficulty is that my way of viewing the world and making decisions is based on a mental catalog of thousands of research papers and books I've read, and it is frustrating to relate to people who just make choices out of transient feelings at a given moment in time, almost at random.
That sounds a bit like typical Asperger's to me, would you recognize yourself in that? What's your 2D:4D digit ratio? (I would hypothesize rather on the masculine side). th-cam.com/video/OmbEaBfzKFk/w-d-xo.html
Meh dude, my recommendation, get over yourself. Open a advance calculus textbook and try to solve some of the harder question by heart in a quick manner. Or open a textbook in advance medicine and ask yourself, how much of the diseases and symptoms etc can you actually recognize that is beyond the average medical student? If your answer is, yes I can do advance calculus with easy from heart on a white piece of paper, or even in my head, or I can recognice several medical symptoms and add them up and put a correct diagnosis on rare diseases outside of the basic textbooks you learn in class, yea then you might be on to something. Otherwise, again give it a rest and actually do your best in your field instead of bragging about some arbitrary average score of 135-140 lol
@@snyggmikael You can always start your own organization for intellectually gifted people and select members on the basis of calculus textbooks and recognition of diseases in medical textbooks. Might be jolly good fun, why not. The rest of the world will probably continue to use standardized IQ-tests though. And BTW, mentioning your IQ, especially in a comment on a video about intellectual giftedness, is not bragging, it's simply a relevant piece of information.
I also did a test and got 137. I can relate very much with what youre saying except for the alcohol. I guess it also comes with isolation and social neglect. Its weird if you know the advanced like machinery or systems and mechanics of a concept and how to apply it in a functional way like on all levels, socially, personally or in careers and people dont get it while this is how it works efficiently. I also dont get why people dont value this and why theyre being so dysfunctional. I dont mean to sound mean but thats literally exactly what it looks like. I thought everyone thinks like me and i didnt understand people and always thought there was something wrong with me but i guess its them hahahahha
Like i wouldnt care if there werent so many wars and such suffering in the world.. but unfortunately the result of unwholesome behaviour is suffering thats why it makes me sad..
Thank you for making this video. I am quite possibly not as high IQ as you, but I relate to everything you've said. I used to spend a lot of time trying "to be normal" and please my parents, friends and teachers. It took me 8 years to recover from trauma and actual relative success of numbing my mind which I've achieved. Don't follow this path, it's not worth it. Be unique - find people you can relate to - is my message to whoever is reading this. I wish I had a friend like you Abel, when I most needed it
@@Abel.Abelson yeah they always have a distincitve look. I look like Bond...James Bond. I just took an online iq test and got a 143. Did you by any chance go to a good school? A good college?
@@badbluetahoe I bet you do ;) No, I didn't go to a good school/college, t according to my standards of a good school. But for a school to meet my standards I'd have to invent it :) Have you seen my video on the 2D:4D ratio th-cam.com/video/OmbEaBfzKFk/w-d-xo.html Would be very interested to hear what's yours?
@@connorc1548 It's not what it would teach, it's how. In short: no recipes, no memory parrots. Only full understanding or nothing (ideally a mix of both).
Hey, Abel. I have never made official IQ tests but scored relatively high on the MENSA online test, 133 as well. I can relate to many things you said. I always felt "better" than most but also worst in a sense. People always seemed to be living life in the easy mode while I had to figure out stuff on my own. I have always been very unassertive and insecure. My interests as a kid were creating fictional countries, languages, and cultures. I'm more of a humanities guy. My grades in school were pretty bad. I feel like when you have a higher IQ all this social play we have to perform becomes clearer and clearer, thus harder to participate. Seems like I can't communicate to anyone because of it. Great video. Nice to know there are people similar to me.
Yes, completely. It's like a theater piece but with the lights on, bad props and bad acting, we just can't really get into it, right? Glad the video was helpful :) You know, once you really get to understand them, these neurotypicals do have their reasons and logic and after all a quite complex and dense social interaction, simply not in the manner we have. Knowing what makes them tick helps a lot in sharing the same planet (and often room) with them. You should definitely check out my books, I'm sure you'll find a high degree of recognition there, and also quite some info that will add new angles to your reflections: amzn.to/3paQsmz .
I thought the supposed "online mensa iq test" wasn't a legitimate test and I didn't find that out until after I took it and got 142 on it and attempted to find a way to get into mensa but of course you can't if it isn't a legitimate test.
I noticed this too. But I learned how to talk and participate to a much better point then barely getting by after awhile. If you stop thinking and get used to responding and reacting with no thought then life communicating with them is a lot easier. Yea, socializing is hopelessly complicated but I think for them it is mostly an automated process. Most of it I think is learned behavior that they practice emulating but wouldn't be able to describe themselves.
@@Abel.Abelson - You are missing blissful ignorance sir. Trust me, as an African American man in the U.S. who became a vegetarian and took an interest in the stock market and world religion at the age of nine I understand. To be a sheep is easy, however, to question things in a structured society with norms is socially risky.
its really frustrating when you notice problems in society, and try to fix them or tell people about them, but that the other people just don’t seem to care about it
@@draugno7I'd say at least cognitive empathy is congruent with intelligence. I don't think there's a real benefit to having such a strong feeling of empathy that it overrides your decision making. a friend told me once "the road to hell is paved with good intentions".
@lunagardvonbingen that depends. Usually close relationships suffer because of lack of empathy but it's beneficial in professions like a surgeon. And that quote in my opinion means that people justify their actions by doing something for the greater good (Hitler as a drastic example).
I also feel that way, i overthink things a lot, but more often than not, i try to find the best solution to everything using my head instead of my feelings, i used to feel shy and introverted and different around people, but one night i decided to drink my shyness away and show a part of me i never shown and now i just never have to hide it, plus i got new clothes and a new haircut so that also helped me get more confidence. I'm slightly autistic and i have ADHD, i've also passed a lot of time playing on my computer and watching educational youtube videos nearly everyday when i was younger, i'm 20 years old as of posting this comment.
Thank you for this. You’ve described everything I’ve lived with for 47 years. I had always thought I was mentally ill until a psychologist told me that there was nothing wrong with me and sent me to a behavioral specialist to have an IQ test. It’s a bit of a struggle since I tend to think in very abstract concepts, and when I offer help (like you describe), it is often met with a negative response. My wife says I come across as cold and unsympathetic and that is why I get negative reactions. It’s a constant learning process now, and I find sometimes I have to act like someone else in social settings.
O yes, very relatable. My wife says the same of me.🙂 It's hard if you have to remind yourself of who you are and what your true motivations are against the biases and misinterpretations of people as close as your own life's partner. But that's how it is, we're all survivors so that's what we'll continue doing...
Many times i just say something in order to initiate a conversation and the other guy suddenly gets offended and never talks to me again. A few days ago somenone blocked me on facebook because of that.
I feel like you are not using your brain to analyze situation and what the other person is comfortable with , you read the reaction and adapt to the situation and person its not too complicated
I always thought I was stupid or was just missing things, until one kind employer told me this after I was berating my own work "You are so far ahead you're only seeing what's missing. You're 20 miles into a marathon and focusing on the last few miles but you're 20 miles in". Now I realize that my issue is that I see way too far ahead. At work people want to do step A, then step B and then step C. Then I come in and say that we can already work on Z and ignore the first few steps. I can be right, and my idea can be great, but if I cave in because I'm in minority, the meritt of my idea won't mean much. It's one of the craziest things you learn in life. It doesn't matter what your ideas are, it only matters how hard you fight for them.
It benefits us greatly to connect our hearts to our minds, especially amongst men. Find a mens counselor who can give you great insight on what you might be missing as a fully integrated human being.
I was given questions in my verbal reasoning classes and I always got at least 20% wrong because I was “over complicating” the answers. I have to be reminded that it’s supposed to be a simple answer. I’m not smart, I simply loook too deep into the questions.
Frank Sinatra's "Balls in Yo Jaws" used to play at my uncle's house all the time when I was young! I remember him picking me up in his van after t-ball practice, it was cool because it always had candy! He always had a warm popsicle in his pants too, cream-filled I think? He used to compliment me on how good I could keep secrets. The song really takes me back to a better time!
As a fellow sufferer of this relatively uncommon condition I have always wondered why they refer to it as a gift, in my experience it is more of a curse. I’ve become somewhat of a dilettante and found it very difficult to function “normally”, every professor I had at University wanted to see me personally after reading the first paper I would submit and tell me if I only knuckled down I could pursue an academic career but I could never select a single field of study; I find most social interactions profoundly unfulfilling, have worked a wide variety of jobs without being able to discover a sense of vocation (the closest I came to a career was as a chef because it’s so challenging, but eventually the hours and outrageously low wages wore me down). Depression, isolation and a kind of listless drift have been the mainstays of my adult life, along with a constant, nagging sense of failure.
I feel this heavy, for the most part. People always wish they were smart. I think that's a poor thing to want/strive for. I think if most people suddenly woke up significantly smarter, they'd blow their heads clean off after a couple weeks. Its rough dealing with deep, philosophical questions racing through your mind, and thinking about how most people essentially suck and are fake people.
I was labeled as top 2% of top 2%, passing mensa exams at 12, but I left the straight and narrow and coasted through education only putting effort into exams and expectedly diddnt achieve my potential accedemicly. I think of most things about modern life in comparison to humans over millenia from diet to behaviour. Were not designed to be in the class room. I still exell in understanding new topics and spend most of my free time learning but I found my calling in life not purely thinking and achieving acedemic success but getting a fairly regular job as a renderer (throwing various types of mud and rock at walls) my understanding of the sciences along with being very physical have left me legues above the types who usually take up this trade and now I do very well in life and feel great satisfaction. I do have the strangest of hobby's as most would regard them to satisfy my hunger for understanding and knowledge. I get the depression thinking about how the world works and almost seeing into the future with certain personal and social situations that I feel powerless to effect. It's easy to wish ignorance. Maybe try something similar in aiming to what seems to be beneath you but obsessing and developing ideas in somthing more seen to be left to the average level thinker. That's how progress gets made when one person develops somthing simple further others follow the new knowledge developed and satisfaction is gained through making a difference and mark upon the world. I've developed new techniques and methods along with designing my own products pushing a whole industry forward without intending to. Something as simple as spreading mud on walls. We don't have to develop the next futuristic tech or ground breaking paper. All aspects of humanity need all types of people to move forwards. Most importantly for inner peace/happiness BE CREATIVE in what ever discipline falls upon you as oppertunity or through persistent chasing of goals. Every disaster or bad thing in life is a new opoertunity to Learn grow and develop
Adding a little more after noticing a point in your comment after wrote that struck a chord with me thinking you may be a similar type to me. The chef thing. That is something I'm passionate about is cooking and food. It's the basis of all life, but at the same time can be the most complex and articulate way to express your self. I've never done it professionally buy aim for professional quality at home and cooking for friends. . It takes either an artist or a great understanding of sciences, maths ect to be at the top of the game. That could be your calling if you were pulled to it. Try aim at a small scale business rather than a busy kitchen where you could have influence over menus and dishes in time, it wouldn't take much to be able to do the same your self and be your own boss in a small establishment bringing some much needed confidence and moral boost feeling valued in your own small part of society. It doesn't take much to go from feeling worthless to feeling you were here for a reason. I don't mean t get all profound and trying to dish out too much advice to a stranger, but oak treas grow from tiny acorns and sometimes your best off jamming that star shaped peg in the circle hole. It's stronger and still touches in all the right places leaving all those nice gaps for other things in life that bring joy.
I've never done an intelligence test, so I don't know if I'm smart or that I just think I'm smart. Anyway, after doing some intellectual jobs, I decided to get a simple job, work as less as possible (because I've never found a job I'm passionate about) and use the left-over time to figure out how I can renovate my house and survive on as little as possible. That... made me a happier person, because I can use my brain to find solutions and then put them in practice. I like the thinking part more than the acting part, but I decided that it's part of the deal. Nothing has to be perfect either, just enough to give me a sense of 'having done the best I could'. Not preaching the off-grid evangelical, but it definitely gave me a sense of calmness. I hope you find a way to feel fulfillment as well!!!
Thank you. I grew up in hell, but with a very high IQ. My grades were borderline, as I had figured out how to pass without doing homework. My test scores were always in the top 1%. Like you, my understanding of people is deep. I took an IQ test while I was in a shelter for runaway youth and scored it's highest testable range. I was stunned because I thought if I were smart, I would not be in the situation I was in. I had not fully understood the damage that had been done to me from severe abuse, nor did I know the level of mental illness I suffered as a result.
I have a similar background. Tortured as a child,yet gifted classes in beginning grades specifically reading and reading comprehension. I read voraciously. Doesn't translate to much in life other than ability to synthesize knowledge and perhaps more deeply experience life
@@josephhertzberg2734 Increased intelligence just means we contemplate more perplexing problems. It certainly does not equate to happiness nor success. Ambition and drive do that. /agree
If it makes you feel a little better I'm more or less in the same boat. Perhaps not as abused. Grew up in a broken household, surrounded by drunks, father shot through, mother hooked up with a neighbor who was more of a drunk. Always hungry, I would get new clothes when my pants were 15-20cm over my socks and skin tight. But in school, yeah I didn't try because I knew my parents had no money for university. I would be perpetually third and never study for anything. 1 & 2 both had tutors and studied hard. Both ended up as doctors. But... I did ok. I taught myself to program when I was 12. How the hell did I get a computer at 12 in such an environment? I delivered milk every day for 2 years and refused to 'loan' to my parents. Why computers. I found my inspiration. A movie called 'Wargames'. I kept learning. Taught the y12 computer class... but knew, No Uni for me. Applied for private education and tried to pay it off by working at McDonalds. That didn't work. Taught myself Visual Basic and got a job. In 2 years I doubled my income, in 3 years tripled with industrial certification. Today, I'm at the top of my field. A CIO balked at hiring me at one point because I'm paid more than him. He put me on a 2 year contract... and paid me even higher. These days I do Cybersecurity and Legislative Compliance Consulting for the IT space, mostly banking. These days I have multiple properties, including a retirement rural estate. My son boards overseas following his dream of being a pro hockey player. Nice cars, nice safe suburb, private schooling all the way for the kids. I'm sitting here programming my own computer game, enjoying life doing what I like. This is not a showing off post... the post is entirely for you because I thought I "can't" when I was young, until one day I realized that other people I was competing against had no drive and no ability and kind of just hoped for the best and leaned heavily on social connection to muddle through.. I had a goal, a dream the whole time. I was relentless and eventually I started planning ahead. Now, many years later I realized that the 'hard start' I had made me very independent, very self sufficient and it bolstered me against most of life's weaknesses. I have never smoked, drink maybe once a year, never taken drugs. I reject and resent almost everything about my childhood and that made me stronger, more focused and a better competitor in the world. I never forgave. I never forgot. Growing up hard, makes you hard in response. You may find it's a tool as valuable as anything else you have rather than a weakness.
@@nathanielacton3768 yeah, things worked out well for me after all, I guess I should've said so. I actually dropped out of high school and took my equivalency exam. I own a restaurant and just started buying rental property. More interestingly, I really don't read as much, used to be a constant. I always had a book or two. I started to question why was I accumulating knowledge, was it an escape....probably. I'm curious, but only occasionally these days and I think about what the buddhists say about intellect, beyond practicalities, being yet another distraction from peace of mind. As for my abuser, I guess I have mostly forgiven. I had a great time raising my daughters and it was not hard to treat them with basic dignity, it was actually a delight to do so. I am in therapy, looking once again at my disordered relationship with anxiety, it's the one persistent relic from my childhood that I have not been able to fully resolve
compared to regular folks you have this calmness that points out to a clear thinking and clear mind, it's always a pleasure to watch and be around such people
Let me guess the signs in no particular order: 1. impatience with people 2. mind works too fast 3. hate the world 4. loner 5. people don't like you 6. jobs are unfullfilling or boring 7. definitely Star Trek fan and subscribed to Paramount 8. special progress in schools, valedictorian, etc. 9. decision-making hard because you see all the angles and sub-angles 10. stellar strategic and analyst skills 11. definitely dumb down your interactions with people 12. probably will never reach your potential because life systems are geared to mediocrity 13. fully recognize that people suck and can't get out of their own way 14. can predict the future based on bringing all information together like the pieces of a large puzzle 15. more college degrees, certificates and accomplishments than any human should have 16. can't tell people what you've done because they won't believe you 17. anxiety because you see the end and it ain't pretty That's me and IGNORANCE IS INDEED BLISS. Edit: IQ tests are complete BULLSHYTE. If you're gifted, you know it. If you need validation from some stupid exam, then you have other issues. Society uses these tests to advance the select few they have, well... already selected.
@@MenAmongTheRuins77IQ test means nothing. You MUST not let the score affect you. I know all about tests... how they are designed and put together... and more importantly the type that puts them together. Ignore your test results and wipe your arse with them. One more thing, achieve your potential and do great things in life. That's an order.
@@USARealityCheck So tell me....where exactly did you learn all about psych testing? And how many individuals did you give the plethora of tests to, such as personality inventories; Rorshach; Thematic Apperception test; Draw a family; and so many more? And for how long were you employed doing this work? I have done it, so I'm curious about you.
@@lawrence5039 Another one with a degree enjoying the smell of his/her own farts. To answer your woefully inadequate question, if your question... if you really had to ask it... then you really don't get it the many facets of this subject... or if you do... then you're protecting a corrupt/failed educational system, whether or not you know it. Some of the smartest humans of all time will not speak the truth about their discoveries, theories, or findings because of the small-minded majority which surround them or other interests which serve to suppress knowledge for financial interests. In your case, I will not provide my personal information because you're butt-hurt that your reality is being challenged. If you don't have the background to understand what I've written yet, you may in the future as your life experience progresses. Use YOUR own mind to study the world... using man's accumulated knowledge only to a point, while remaining skeptical all the way... challenging results, not people... like a narcissistic child. I really find your reply humorous... you read the details which serves to put you on notice that there is someone writing with an actual brain... then instead of challenging any of the points... you attack my education and professional practice, thereby leading credence to my initial hypotheses. Thank you, now join the herd.
I'm no genius, but fairly smart, educated to an MA, and the only thing I struggle with is people simply not being interested in things, nor curious about anything. They don't want to talk or explore anything. They just talk about the same boring everyday crap and it drives me insane. I only have one good friend.
It highly depends on the place. People found in library or say in philharmonic would surely more likely to be interested in complex topics, rather than in gossips and social dramas. Internet is full of various groups, where people discuss profound subjects. Intellectuals are like a rare treasure but for those who seeks there would always be a group of like-minded people.
I was worried this was going to be another one of those videos where the person just sits and brags for the entire time but you come across as incredibly humble person.
My mum was in Mensa with an IQ of 155. I haven't tried to enter. I did take the Mensa Norway online tes and the result said 145 or more. I find I get frustrated with most people and have to pay them lip service. I only know a couple of people with which I actually like to converse.
Yes, likewise... It would be interesting (for you too) to check your digit ratio. See the details and the (possible) link to brain development and behavior, personality etc. here: th-cam.com/video/OmbEaBfzKFk/w-d-xo.html
Same here. Most conversations are far too predictable and vapid. Most people are simply trying to self promote and I sense the ego in their words.Most decent people tend to be more obedient and usually looking for approval which is equally a turn off.
@@frusciantesplectrum7980 Exactly. It's actually based on their more profound characteristics, check out my new book for more of my ideas on that, you'll probably love it: bit.ly/neurotp !
I identify with this a lot. When I was a child, I was deemd "gifted" and placed in a school on Long Island called LISG (Long Island School for the Gifted). I had to know why everything works. I was able to read fluently by age 3. Later on, I was shifted into public schools, and began to resent this "gifted" label, and so I tucked it away, and just wanted social acceptance. After my parents divorce, I just spiraled down over the next 20+ into a life of drugs and eventually prison. I also had to deconstruct and reconstruct my life and give it real meaning and purpose. You are right: "giftedness" is not any true advantage, due to me learning the hard way that compassion and empathy will supercede intelligence any day. The takeaway is this: It is only what the word means: a GIFT, and it's what you do with this "gift" that gives it any meaning. Treating everyday with people with dignity, respect, and encouragement and just taking time to listening to them and their struggles has been the greatest gift to me now, and has derived the most meaning now for me. I wish anyone with a "gift" to learn to make it into a gift to humanity and not just yourself. Cheers.
I'm Kenyan & I took the online Mensa Norway test and scored a 131 . I really find my self stupid on certain occasions and extremely clumpsy with small things. So this result kinda took me by surprise on first glance . Then I remembered that I never used to struggle academically in primary school and was sort of curious and enthusiastic of certain fields of science. So I guess I drew the results from that . When I reached Highschool my mind became really hyper and at times I used to be lost in imagination and contemplation various concepts & ideas . I can also say that I got bored with school and I didn't do that well in my KSCE ( this are national exams one does at the end of highschool before joining university, kinda like SAT tests.) My ksce score got me humbled so much and at the same it kinda made see myself as more stupid than I already did . I'm working to get rid of this mindset but i'm not sure if I should because I find viewing oneself as more intelligent can ,in some sense ,make them arrogant. It's great that I can relate to a good number of things in this video.
*Do you believe you're a good person? If so, then have you ever lied, stolen, cursed, committed adultery, or even murder? If the answer is YES, then you have sinned.* According to the Bible, sin is lawlessness. (1 John 3:4) In other words, you broke God’s law and you are His enemy. God’s enemies end up in Hell, which is a place where there is outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and torment that goes on forever with no rest. (Matthew 25:30, Matthew 25:31-36, 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10, Revelation 14:11) Anybody that ends up in Hell will NOT have a second chance after the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27) *Does that concern you?* You might be thinking, “I haven’t murdered anyone or committed any of the bigger sins worthy of hell.” Well, let’s see about that. Did you know that having hatred towards someone like your own brother or sister makes you a murderer at heart? (Matthew 5:21-22 and 1 John 3:15) If you ever looked at a person that you are not married to with lust (sexual desire), then you have already committed adultery with them in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you have ever said, "Oh my God," or "Jesus Christ," to express frustration or annoyance, then you have used the Lord's name in vain and used it in place of a curse word. That is called “blasphemy.” You wouldn't use your loved one's name as a curse word, would you? By saying His name in place of a curse word, you have insulted your creator. He has given you life, eyes to see, ears to hear, and taste buds for food. *If you have committed ANY one of these sins, then you are destined to go to hell. Do you know what God did for guilty sinners, so that they wouldn’t end up in hell?* *We have all sinned. (Romans 3:23) So, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to bear our sins. He was buried in a tomb and rose on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He showed His love toward us by dying for us while we were still sinners (His enemies) so that He could redeem us. God's wrath is on those who remain in their sins and do not believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. We all deserve to be sent to hell. However, Jesus made a way for us to be free from our sins and now wants us to live a different life. If you TRULY BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you, then you must repent (turn away from your sins and forsake them), be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (born again by water and Spirit), and live for Him with the help of His Holy Spirit, which will help you live a godly/holy life on this Earth. We live as saints (not sinners) to show our gratitude for the love He has shown to us by taking up the cross. We must have faith (believe/trust) in Jesus Christ, and by the grace of God, it will lead us to salvation. Also, FEAR GOD to stay away from evil and the things that would otherwise morally corrupt us, and continue to faithfully and obediently follow the Lord to the end (Hebrews 5:9)* "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7) “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Matthew 7:21-23) "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) "Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21) “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ ” (Mark 8:34-38) "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:38) "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38) "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:1-4) "For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:13-14) "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (Romans 10:9-13) "Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.' " (2 Timothy 2:19) "For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14) "For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15) "But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17) “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9) *That was the Gospel message. Believe in the Gospel and obey the Lord Jesus Christ!*

Wow, I thought I was the only one with these kinds of experiences. It feels surreal. I am in my late 20s and every single thing you mentioned resembles with my experience except the 40s thing of reconstruction.
I scored close to 2.5 SDs above the mean on the WAIS, but my issue is that I have an incredible verbal tilt. I think people with a more even cognitive profile ( the scores of all subtests being within less than a SD of each other) encounter less difficulties. what's also very underrated in these type of discussions are your executive functions, especially working memory and the ability to maintain concentration. these, while weakly correlated with g ( your 'innate' intelligence) are a different set of abilities all together and correlate more strongly with success than your raw intellectual potency
Well, you never know. But anyway, IQ is overrated, never mind that, the most important aspect is that of neurodivergence, of difference. What the difference exactly consists of, is secondary.
@@jeneusschneider243 ever look into 2e? it's what's going on with me. I have a complex combined type of dyscalculia but also am "gifted" even though my iq is around 115. the number in my case is essentially a projection of extremes that has literally no value in assessing my intelligence, because it reflects neither mathematical/ numerical, or the rest of my intelligence. visual spatial and semantic areas were closer to what you'd see at 160 iq, so while paradoxical, there is precedent for such a thing to occur.
Liked what he said about the difference between knowing & understanding. A small example on the top of my head, back in school I knew math, when I had the formulas down it wasn't very difficult for me but I never understood it. I just did it.
I appreciate that he did this video, being honest and really talking about himself, very cute. I think we can all relate to him in some way or another.
I've always had despair about life, for instance I would realise that I'm conscious or self aware and realise how weird it was or how weird it was that I could move my fingers and then thought of how weird it was that could think that I could think this etc. Or how weird it was that we were self aware beings on a rock that was rotating a ball of plazma, etc. And I don't really know if it has any correlation with my intelligence but I would always ask my mom, friend or relative if it was weird or fascinating but no one I know related to the same thoughts I had
I can relate to that. Maybe your 2D:4D ratio / prenatal testosterone levels can shed some light on that, see my video th-cam.com/video/OmbEaBfzKFk/w-d-xo.html for more details...
As someone with a 150iq being in highschool, I can relate to many attributes you said you had as a kid and its a relief knowing I'm not the only one lol
My experienced with taking IQ test first time was the same I overcomplicated it... and got 90... for years I thought I was mentally limited... later I did test again and got 142... Better late than never I guess :)
@@ericflynn6541 if you don't understand how iq tests work, it can happen. I had my first test that I thought I had to complete in a very short amount of time to get a high score. So I rushed through it and scored 119. After 3 years I took 2 test and scored 137 and 140. Because I took my time but still finished within the time limit.

Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:1-4) "For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:13-14) "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (Romans 10:9-13) "Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.' " (2 Timothy 2:19) "For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14) "For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15) "But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17) “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9) *That was the Gospel message. Believe in the Gospel and obey the Lord Jesus Christ!*
I did a no-verbal inteligence test a year ago and scored percentile 95.... I identify A LOT with you and your story, I think I'll get in touch with mensa in my country. Having above average inteligence comes with a lot of pain, intelligent brains suffer in this world that makes no sense.
Thanks for this extremely honest and detailed video! I understand your feelings of difference and superiority, as well as your feeling of inferiority you talked about. I think the natural reaction to such feelings is to put them away or at least hide them, thinking "I can't be better than other people", or "I'm not that special". It's very refreshing hearing an honest report about all this!
*Do you believe you're a good person? If so, then have you ever lied, stolen, cursed, committed adultery, or even murder? If the answer is YES, then you have sinned.* According to the Bible, sin is lawlessness. (1 John 3:4) In other words, you broke God’s law and you are His enemy. God’s enemies end up in Hell, which is a place where there is outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and torment that goes on forever with no rest. (Matthew 25:30, Matthew 25:31-36, 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10, Revelation 14:11) Anybody that ends up in Hell will NOT have a second chance after the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27) *Does that concern you?* You might be thinking, “I haven’t murdered anyone or committed any of the bigger sins worthy of hell.” Well, let’s see about that. Did you know that having hatred towards someone like your own brother or sister makes you a murderer at heart? (Matthew 5:21-22 and 1 John 3:15) If you ever looked at a person that you are not married to with lust (sexual desire), then you have already committed adultery with them in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you have ever said, "Oh my God," or "Jesus Christ," to express frustration or annoyance, then you have used the Lord's name in vain and used it in place of a curse word. That is called “blasphemy.” You wouldn't use your loved one's name as a curse word, would you? By saying His name in place of a curse word, you have insulted your creator. He has given you life, eyes to see, ears to hear, and taste buds for food. *If you have committed ANY one of these sins, then you are destined to go to hell. Do you know what God did for guilty sinners, so that they wouldn’t end up in hell?* *We have all sinned. (Romans 3:23) So, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to bear our sins. He was buried in a tomb and rose on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He showed His love toward us by dying for us while we were still sinners (His enemies) so that He could redeem us. God's wrath is on those who remain in their sins and do not believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. We all deserve to be sent to hell. However, Jesus made a way for us to be free from our sins and now wants us to live a different life. If you TRULY BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you, then you must repent (turn away from your sins and forsake them), be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (born again by water and Spirit), and live for Him with the help of His Holy Spirit, which will help you live a godly/holy life on this Earth. We live as saints (not sinners) to show our gratitude for the love He has shown to us by taking up the cross. We must have faith (believe/trust) in Jesus Christ, and by the grace of God, it will lead us to salvation. Also, FEAR GOD to stay away from evil and the things that would otherwise morally corrupt us, and continue to faithfully and obediently follow the Lord to the end (Hebrews 5:9)* "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7) “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Matthew 7:21-23) "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) "Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21) “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ ” (Mark 8:34-38) "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:38) "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38) "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."

About 10 years ago I tested for 130-140 as well. It's quite hard to communicate because people don't understand most of your points because you have to take them through all the logic. Once I adopted "Get money, f*** b****es " and "Never explain, people only hear what they want to hear" it became easier.But really people just bring you down and they never ever say that you're smarter. Quite opposite, they make you think your "advantage" is worthless.
yes, as i even believed some bad critics they say, those critics are from my peers, and as adult, we believe them, but it turns everything it's false, A narcisist Agenda...
I’ve learned that you really do need to keep things quite simple for the general population. I now work on nursing and am sometimes surprised that the questions I ask seem difficult for even master’s and MD level professionals.
@@AstroZombie1 And it seems like it's getting worse. I'm losing any sympathy I had for people. They don't know and they don't want to know. Funniest part, it actually gets them very far.
@@Avrelivs_Gold yeah it’s kinda frustrating, but it made me realize I must be pretty smart myself. In their defense, if they don’t understand something then I guess it’s hard for them to want to believe or oblige.
So much of your experience resonates with me. I am trying now in my 30's now and have been reconciling and processing my experience growing up and my feelings about others. It is cathartic yet melancholy at once, isolating and empowering. I grew up knowing my IQ was high as a kid because I needed to take them as I am also dyslectic. I have always felt different than most but instead of thinking everyone was dumb, I have lived most my my life just thinking everyone was "faking it" to fit in. It's hard to describe because I thought ( and maybe it is) normal, but I think about things always from the "ground up". that is, when I understand a concept or arrive at an opinion on something, I cannot help but see its connections to other ideas, and can trace its validity down to lower level "first principals". When I speak to people I am often surprised by the things they do not track with me on, as they are often something thought where obvious and not the interesting part of what I was trying to convey. IDK all this sounds I fear like a kind of brag, it is difficult because you cannot talk about this stuff really. Yet It really is confusing and I am so curious about it.
Yeah I can totally relate to the idea of breaking things down to first principles. My ex said I would overanalyze, but the results of this "analysis" were immediate and automatic for me, whereas for her she would have had to think through them in a purposeful way. And yes, it usually boiled down to moral or logical inconsistencies that were impossible for me to ignore. I'm still not sure if this is beneficial or detrimental overall, but it certainly has created social challenges for me.
I also have a pretty high iq, and did well in school despite family chaos and going to more schools than I can remember. I've been struggling recently to acknowledge and accept my ability to learn and my differences there without it going straight to my ego. I've actually been 'playing dumb' to get along as to avoid that conflict. All that is to say, I love your framing of the differences between people and the use of the term intellectual giftedness. It helps frame it as a gift I was given instead of something I made myself, which is humbling. Thank you for sharing.
you just explained exactly how i feel. It's frustrating. So nice to hear someone else say it. I've never had an IQ test in adulthood, (other than the practice mensa test which i passed) but as a child took one at school and was put in the gifted program. No one ever told me my iq results. I wish I knew. Maybe i'll get tested one day.
My IQ is 130+ and had never problems with learning. In primary schools, I read informative books secretly under the table, because I was bored by understanding the lessons relatively fast. Same with secondary school. But in university, I had problems with studying because I never had to learn that. Many secondary exams later, I managed to study more efficient and it is okay now. But the thing in learning is that cognitive capabilities are just a part of gaining knowledge about the world. Other factors are for example education and social skills. Knowing yourself and your limits is a must to succeed in life. Being humble because someone else could have been born with intelligent genes instead of me as well.
Hello! 👋I'm Leon and I've always been purely facinated by the IQ-Intellectually gifted community/people, and I seek to question how their mind works in difference from mine, so as we can all learn and improve. I have a strong imagination, and I can find and create intentions very well. I have used this gift in order to compound upon my logical intellect, and solve the bigger problems in my life. For example, I use my gift of imagination in order to strengthen my learning, by creating images and emotions that I'll remember, and associating them with the fact and figures I'm learning, in order to memorize that information all together. Here's my the big-big Discussion + Questions I would like to ask you: I was wondering if having a high IQ allows you to more easily ask the correct questions, about the world for the sake of life's purpose. More especially, questions about purpose, intention, and organizing intentions in means goals and an end-goal. In other words, does high-IQ itself open the intention and awareness within yourself, that aid in taking better internal and emotional decisions. For example if you were in pain or trying to solve something, do you handle the pain with thoughts? Thoughts like "What am I feeling right now? What is the situation I'm in right now? What is the best decision I can make? How can I get into flow? What is the best logical decision and thought? What is the best emotional decision and thought? What is the best pessimistic decision and thought? What is the best optimistic decision and thought? What is the best creative decision and thought? What is the best management decision and thought? What am I gratefulful for? What would be the best meta-cognition thing I can do? What would be a compounding action/thought? Where should I concentrate my energy and focus? What is the most important thing I should do right now? What are the most important questions to ask myself? What Experiences do I want? What Growths do I want? What Contributions do I want [to make]? Overall, I show all this because I've always wanted a high-IQ in order to more effectively follow through with my creative ideas and mental-maps & intentions. Thus, I ask the question, do those with High IQ have greater self-awareness and creativity? (This sounds passive-agressive but it's not:) Do you make better decisions?
@@Ceorious Imagination is a part of intelligence for sure. Hight IQ allows you for sure to ask the right question because of good memory and insight capabilities make you see the holes in certain lessons faster while other are still processing what just is said. Inteligence is no guarantee of being wise in term of life, some intelligent people don't think of that because they are busy with something else, but in general yes, gifted people have in general more free time philosophing about life and the universe what enables them to see deeper patterns in things. Intelligence can for sure give better decision-making by providing yourself with the ability to analyze multiple perspectives, weigh pros and cons, and predict potential outcomes. However, decision-making is also influenced by experience. For example, knowing the reason of certain moods, keeping your cool during arguments, knowing what you want without being distracted. When things go wrong, don't panic but take mentally a step back to analyze the problem from viewer perspective and try to find an logical and practical solution for it. Another thing is that education isn't limited to your parents and teacher, so it is important to take the responsibility of education into your own hands (especially in adulthood), because learning never stops. What I did to develop myself was the following. After every day in the evening, I write down everything that happened like a diary. Most people use this to not forget thing but it can also be used to analyze yourself and your behavior. I analyze what goes right and what goes wrong. The right things keeps me positive and for the bad things I try to finds solutions every day. For example I had problems with social media and as solution I placed blockers in it (pc: Cold Turkey blocker, phone: App Block payed version). This is just an example. Avoid contact with people who have not much useful to do in life. It is better to be alone and work on your goals than being with people who never contribute to your well-being and crave for attention. Be emphatic for someones difficulties, but be able to relativate their "suffering " to the suffering that other people (for example in developing countries) undergo. I cant't speak for others because every life is different, but evaluating everyday is something that surely helped me. Slowly but surely my life improved after gradually implementing good habits everyday (consistent studying, working student jobs, regular sleep, very precise and detailled planning everyday, working out etc). Important to know is that everybody has a bad day and that is okay, it is almost impossible to change your life in one moment. Slow and steady wins the race. My decision-making is much better now. And I think that the concept of evaluating can be applied to all lifes, including yours. Hopefully this will help you to find answers for all your questions. And the most important thing is that a good future is mainly build on discipline, consistency and a good network. Intelligence surely helps but effort is the most necessary. Hopefully this will help you and good luck!😁
Dunno my IQ but i relate so much to point about studying, uni came and I was like, damn, I might need to study after this lecture, actaully was quite hard
Not sure how gifted I am but your point about people confidently going 'straight' in their lives is very relatable. So many people (not everyone) don't have a plan and suffer predictable consequences. And whenever I explain why something they are doing will lead to certain outcome even with unbreakable logic and step-by-step they just either don't get it or agree with it but still ignore it. Over time I just learned to suppress my urge to try to explain these things and let things happen as they do.

This is an incredibly valuable video. Thanks for taking the time to explain like you did. Especially the "think dumb". My biggest social roadblock is overcomplicating things, not to be pretentious but because being precise matters to me more than to other people. I need to practice not over thinking, relaxing.
You're welcome, thanks for the kind comment. Have you seen my video on prenatal testosterone? I'd be interested in knowing your 2D:4D ratio (see the video), if you're interested in exploring the subject. Cfr. th-cam.com/video/OmbEaBfzKFk/w-d-xo.html
@@Abel.Abelson I just watched it, and my right hand 2D:4D ratio is 0.97-0.98 roughly. I'm not familiar enough with the research to draw any conclusions from that in high vs. low ratio. I do test poorly, though that is largely due to my issues with focus (unable to study ahead of time), combined with the "explosion of possibilities". It also happens in conversation, if there's a problem or unfamiliar term my mind will latch on and try to untangle it causing me to miss out on what the person has said. For your own interest, my IQ is somewhere between 125 and 150. Almost as though I've got a varying "focus coefficient" attached to it.
I agree with Abel about meditation. It’s been a serious quality of life improvement for me. I’m high functioning autistic (in short), relate to what you said, and it’s done wonders for me.

He was buried in a tomb and rose on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He showed His love toward us by dying for us while we were still sinners (His enemies) so that He could redeem us. God's wrath is on those who remain in their sins and do not believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. We all deserve to be sent to hell. However, Jesus made a way for us to be free from our sins and now wants us to live a different life. If you TRULY BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you, then you must repent (turn away from your sins and forsake them), be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (born again by water and Spirit), and live for Him with the help of His Holy Spirit, which will help you live a godly/holy life on this Earth. We live as saints (not sinners) to show our gratitude for the love He has shown to us by taking up the cross. We must have faith (believe/trust) in Jesus Christ, and by the grace of God, it will lead us to salvation. Also, FEAR GOD to stay away from evil and the things that would otherwise morally corrupt us, and continue to faithfully and obediently follow the Lord to the end (Hebrews 5:9)* "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7) “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Matthew 7:21-23) "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) "Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21) “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ ” (Mark 8:34-38) "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:38) "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38) "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:1-4) "For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:13-14) "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (Romans 10:9-13) "Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.' " (2 Timothy 2:19) "For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14) "For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15) "But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17) “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9) *That was the Gospel message. Believe in the Gospel and obey the Lord Jesus Christ!*
Wow I relate to this guy so much, except I don’t know my IQ but I don’t think I would necessarily have a high score. Not to say I’m not intelligent, but I’ve dealt with a lot of addiction, isolation, depression anxiety and trauma that has stifled me.
*Do you believe you're a good person? If so, then have you ever lied, stolen, cursed, committed adultery, or even murder?

(Hebrews 9:27) *Does that concern you?* You might be thinking, “I haven’t murdered anyone or committed any of the bigger sins worthy of hell.” Well, let’s see about that. Did you know that having hatred towards someone like your own brother or sister makes you a murderer at heart? (Matthew 5:21-22 and 1 John 3:15) If you ever looked at a person that you are not married to with lust (sexual desire), then you have already committed adultery with them in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you have ever said, "Oh my God," or "Jesus Christ," to express frustration or annoyance, then you have used the Lord's name in vain and used it in place of a curse word. That is called “blasphemy.” You wouldn't use your loved one's name as a curse word, would you? By saying His name in place of a curse word, you have insulted your creator. He has given you life, eyes to see, ears to hear, and taste buds for food. *If you have committed ANY one of these sins, then you are destined to go to hell.

5:00 to 6:00 explains almost perfectly what i'm most struggling with right now. it's pushing me to the point of depression and being unable to function as an adult. i'm seeing a therapist but i don't know if she really understands and i feel weird about saying 'my problem is being smart'
That is not the IQ of an “intellectually gifted”, sorry to bring you back to reality. Those are between 130 to 145 and at that level each point is really a lot. You are just in the top 14% like probably most of us reading this. Smarter than most, but still outsmarted by a few. And then intelligence has much more shapes and forms than the G calculated by the IQ, many people of lower IQ can be gifted in many ways.
@@augustinfthink he was trying to say he can relate to the poster of this video even tho he is not in the “gifted” range, because those few points more make the difference when with your peers who are average.
I don't have a high IQ and I don't have a formal diagnosis for ADHD (ADD) even though I believe it's possible I have it, but I related to a few things you mentioned about your childhood, I always felt like I saw details no one else paid attention to. However, I also feel like my personal drive to be womanly in terms of preparing myself to be a wife or mother someday, nerfed someone of that development. And I wouldn't trade that, I'm happy the way I am. I am intelligent, and successful and caring. That's good enough for me.
There’s nothing more important you can do for humanity than being a good parent. You didn’t waste your time at all. There’s too many people on this planet with “great ideas” (99% of the time 0 follow through) but we have a severe shortage of great mothers. Salute to you.
Super cool comment! Might I suggest a modest reframe however? As someone with extraordinarily high IQ & ADHD - get tested. It is SO much better to know than to wonder. There's also a high correlation of ADHD & high IQ, also if you're high in femininity you'll tend to notice details others won't as well, but please don't think that your femininity 'nerfed' your intellectual development. My grandmother was a math savant and among the world's first computer programmers. To this day the coolest woman I've ever met and I miss her every day. She was an auto-didact polymath with ADHD and was the sharpest wit I've ever known. I admire your prioritization and think it reflects your intelligence far more than 'nerfing' it.
i feel the exact same way. it can be so isolating when it feels like everyone is communicating in a different language - life feels so underfulfilling. it’s caused me great grievance in the past, especially as a teenager, because of how isolating the understimulation was back then, particularly as i lacked social skills
It's great to find videos of gifted people just talking, there are really few and sometimes you really feel like there is no one sharing the same situation.

Hi, thanks for commenting! I'm glad it was meaningful to you. The problem in the end is not how one is or is not, it's the feeling of being the only one to be like this, isn't it. Don't forget to check out my books too ;) amzn.to/3paQsmz
Being more intelligent than 98% of the population but not intelligent enough to do something extraordinally profound is such a depressing and isolating experience.
I am struggling with finding someone to talk to about this without them rolling their eyes thinking I'm trying to "brag" about certain things. For instance the way people act without thinking or acknowledging their own behaviours as they react to things. Also, I have struggled with anxiety and don't enjoy large groups of people as I feel drained by social interactions. I can really relate to what you talked about in this video. Thank you!
I have a question of what do you even want to talk about? If you are smarter than an average person, is there anything of value an average person can offer? You should be able to answer your own questions in your head much faster than formulating them verbally and then waiting for the reply of a person who would probably give you a worse answer. I know I am making a lot of assumptions here, so please answer the question in an open-ended fashion.
@@peezieforestem5078 I understand your question and will try to answer. It is not really to do with questions that needs to be answered and more about wanting (sometimes) to discuss a topic and feel understood. Perhaps it is about me feeling lonely, perhaps it is my bruised ego telling me I'm different when I see or hear people judging me for "overcomplicating things" or simply "acting like I know stuff ." Also, there is danger I think in staying in your own echo chamber never bothering with the ideas of others, good or bad. So I don't believe that there isn't value in "average ideas." But it is a complicated question. Do I need validation from my peers? I don't know that is the case. I think it has more to do with wanting a "release." To be able to just speak to someone and have it returned unfiltered from biases and scoff. Don't know if you got a satisfying answer here but at least it's something.
@@jesperjee The answer is not really satisfying, but I think I got the gist. Would it be fair to say you have more of an emotional need to have someone who will understand you?
@@peezieforestem5078 I don't know. I am not usually bothered by it. It's not so much of a need really, I don't need to talk to anyone really. It's just that I often get disappointed when I do. And because I often look inward when I get these feelings, probably to try and humble myself and not be so arrogant, I think I am the problem and not everybody else. I.e I feel "not normal" and sometimes that bothers me. Why I care I do not know.

High i.q but he walked right onto that one hahaha😃
I don’t think I have a very high IQ, but I think it is always fascinating to see how other people think, whether they are autistic, smart, dumb, part of a cult, or a ‘normal person’ .
You'd probably score high on the Openness factor in a Big Five personality test then. Great characteristic!
@@Abel.Abelson Is there a better one than understandmyself?
I worry that the overrepresentation of people high in openness that take the test might be screwing with the scores(as I've heard that it compares your score to the mass of people that have taken it).
@@alextonev4145 there is, but im afraid thats the best one we got so far
How do you even determine your actual IQ? There are so many tests that aren’t even accurate.
You’re probably have an iq between 120-128 + I think nobody is normal everybody is unique but social pressure culture defines so it became what people like to identify themselves as ‘normal’ if not in themselves at least in the company of others + I can tell from your comment that you’re an intuitive perspectival introvert right?
When I was younger I was tested and my mother said I was 88 . That made me happy because 8 is my favorite number . And I got 2 of them .

What an awesome joke 😀
88 is fine number

Did you know that having hatred towards someone like your own brother or sister makes you a murderer at heart? (Matthew 5:21-22 and 1 John 3:15) If you ever looked at a person that you are not married to with lust (sexual desire), then you have already committed adultery with them in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you have ever said, "Oh my God," or "Jesus Christ," to express frustration or annoyance, then you have used the Lord's name in vain and used it in place of a curse word. That is called “blasphemy.” You wouldn't use your loved one's name as a curse word, would you? By saying His name in place of a curse word, you have insulted your creator. He has given you life, eyes to see, ears to hear, and taste buds for food. *If you have committed ANY one of these sins, then you are destined to go to hell. Do you know what God did for guilty sinners, so that they wouldn’t end up in hell?*
*We have all sinned. (Romans 3:23) So, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to bear our sins. He was buried in a tomb and rose on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He showed His love toward us by dying for us while we were still sinners (His enemies) so that He could redeem us. God's wrath is on those who remain in their sins and do not believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. We all deserve to be sent to hell. However, Jesus made a way for us to be free from our sins and now wants us to live a different life. If you TRULY BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you, then you must repent (turn away from your sins and forsake them), be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (born again by water and Spirit), and live for Him with the help of His Holy Spirit, which will help you live a godly/holy life on this Earth. We live as saints (not sinners) to show our gratitude for the love He has shown to us by taking up the cross. We must have faith (believe/trust) in Jesus Christ, and by the grace of God, it will lead us to salvation. Also, FEAR GOD to stay away from evil and the things that would otherwise morally corrupt us, and continue to faithfully and obediently follow the Lord to the end (Hebrews 5:9)*
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7)
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Matthew 7:21-23)
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21)
“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
"Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ ” (Mark 8:34-38)
"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:38)
"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:1-4)
"For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:13-14)
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (Romans 10:9-13)
"Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.' " (2 Timothy 2:19)
"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14)
"For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)
"But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17)
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
*That was the Gospel message. Believe in the Gospel and obey the Lord Jesus Christ!*

@@letsdothis1543honestly it’s probably not far off.. we do often tend to perceive things that others can’t and it can make me feel insane at times lol
I had a friend that tested extremely high on the iq test and I have tested right above being technically retarded I always found it interesting how I studied non stop for some of my high school classes to hopefully get a D or C and he would never study missed most of the classes and always aced everything but he was always depressed and then got addicted to drugs and took his life shortly after I always felt like things should have been switched and I should have been the one depressed not the one with all the talent if I could have lived in his shoes for a day I fill like I could have been a better friend to him and maybe even kept him here I really enjoyed the video and appreciate your insight on things
Thanks for commenting, glad you like the videos :) You shouldn't feel guilty at all, or think you could/should have been a better friend. Everyone does what he/she needs to do. Your friend had his round in this life and did what he had to do with it. We all do...
You should not feel any sense of responsibility over your friend's suicide.
Extremely high intelligence is not just a gift, but also a burden. He would feel alienated from his peers, and have many frustrations and concerns that most others would not know about. The negative critical introspection of an intelligent mind, is capable of multiplying emotional issues very quickly, and drugs could have initially numbed him to his pain, but would ultimately exacerbate the problem.
This problem is not of your doing and it is not something you could fix. It is next to impossible that you could say or do anything that would change his mind about his issues and make him believe and feel that his life was worth living.
Gifted people are particularly susceptible to depression and other mental ailments precisely because of their rarity and the alienation that ensues.
Don't blame yourself. Things happen, and sometimes we can not avoid or stop them, from happening. He had a hard life and now, he is in a better place and much happier.
The ability to control emotions and understand others is EQ. A lot of high IQ individuals don't have a high EQ.
It’s eerie how well your experience parallels my own. I’m glad I found this you’ve definitely helped me a lot.

It is not easy tho, make sure he learns how to meditate to clear its mind when he needs it
I once smoked weed and watched an episode of Beavis and Butthead and it was painful because I tried to reason their actions and kind of walk in their shoes.
I use to overthink stuff a ton of times and I did get to use that strategy but then again I never thought of myself as gifted and many people never thought I was gifted.I also was very sensitive and could emotionally understand adults and children, many who were in my age were rude didn’t even understand the “why”.
Many people misunderstood and I could never tell them what I think because I was too insecure about it even the teachers would pressure me

"The correlation between Wisdom and Intelligence is ZERO"
Yeah, exactly. I've always been gifted and did a ton of my shit throughout my still short life. I have had problems with the poloce on multiple occasions. However I'd still say I haven't done nearly as much shit as some of my gifted friends have, since I'm asocial. All of them have problems with drugs, alcohol. I overcame that.
However it is not just bad. Most got into good universities. All of them hardly ever studied but were among the best.
Only a sith deals in absolutes
But on another note, I would speculate there to be at the very least a small correlation tbh
@max That's my point exactly. You need a baseline intelligence. For example, someone with a severely impaired working memory simply can not temporarily retain and manipulate information for long enough or in a complex enough way to arrive at "wisdom". This of course is rare.
Wisdom is a funny word. Means different things to different people. Part of it i would argue is good judgement, something people who are low functioning struggle with. I am reminded of a certain youtuber who for all intents and purposes groomed an intellectually impaired girl into running away from her family and starting a life with this individual. The courts (in Canada) found that this girl did not have the faculties to consent to this and was returned to her family. This is all a long winded way of saying that there is unquestionably a correlation, however small
exactly, there are tons of high IQ personalities on the high ends of society. And yet our society lead by those people is heading straight into the abyss.
@@emilsinclair6202 Well to play devils advocate. What would happen if, for example we elect a politician that has an IQ of 85. Now we are faced with an additional problem. Not only is he most likely a corrupt, self interested and a lying politician. He is also underqualified cognitively. People with an IQ of 85 generally work simple, monotonous jobs (according to data).
Do you see what I'm getting at? The fact that politicians and leaders are doing a pore job does not therefore mean that less intelligent people would do any better and i'd argue that they'd do worse. It sound really mean to say but i don't buy this idea that an intellectually challenged person can achieve the same "wisdom" as a person of average or high intelligence
I used to identify as an intellectual but I found it too socially isolating. I traded that life for a more gym/sport oriented life as well as chasing girls and smoking weed etc. and made social gains as a result which inevitably compromised my intellectual passions. It's a trade off which hasn't necessarily resulted in increased QoL as you gain the benefits of positive social interaction (reduced stress, wellbeing, enhanced sense of self worth) but lose the depth of intense passion for subjects, languages etc which bring a unique sense of personal satisfaction and achievement.
I envy people who are mentally strong enough to withstand that social isolation without compromising their identity as an intellectual because in school or even at home with family members it can make you feel incredibly alone.
For many people, there is no mental strength involved in withstanding social isolation. It is just as completely natural/comfortable. It just depends on who you are. Living a more inward-focused thinking kind of life is just as easy for some as living an extroverted outward-focused kind of life is for others.
Wtf man, b
Just go to the campus of harvard or some other smart ass campus or find some other type of venue where you easily can find "smart" people like "you". Remember associative mating ,aka :like attracts like.
See, you’re not all that intelligent if you fall for the psychological pitfalls of society. Most of the stuff you ‘value’ in terms of social standing are just things that less intelligent people are conditioned to believe or need. Generally, if you’re more intelligent than other people, it’s almost impossible to ‘force yourself’ to socialize and pursue that life. Because you’re constantly contemplating the point of it all. Life itself already has no point and pursuing social endeavors is as far from self satisfaction as you can get. Because in order to be social, you actually have to give up part of yourself. People generally don’t care about you, they want to think and talk about themselves. Which is also exhausting to an intelligent person. Why would someone who contemplates the fact that time and space switch spots in a black hole care about social drama between Becky and Sue?
That's exactly me.
@@TheSCPStudio so am I a super human then? Because I can do both
Your part about the IQ test made me laugh out loud because it hit so close to home. "I would have the tendency to explode in all kinds of possibilities and complex kinds of answers. But no, I had to think dumb." This was exactly my experience, but I've never told anyone because I'm aware how arrogant it comes across. But still, it's the truth, and I laughed because you're the first person putting it into words for me.
I remember doing some IQ type pattern reasoning test and I'd also think up of all different ways to guess the pattern (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't), but I'd basically waste a lot of time exploring different complex ways of what the pattern could turn out to be. Then I get a sense that its a much more simpler pattern and I'm like wtf is wrong with me...
I understand!!! Not arrogant at all.
Yeah, I realize that for most tests your best strategy is studying the answer not the question
I'd do this in school too, lol. I'd also be thinking that everything was a trick question and that, technically, the answer could or would be something else.
Yea, meditating a bit on one of those patterns, coming up with option C, D , E, contemplating which one to note, while the single correct one was option A....
In my opinion such tests are flawed by design because of that. You should be able to e.g. note the pattern you came up with somewhere. If it checks out its technically a correct answer.
Maaaan, i couldn't even finish middle school, repeted 3 times before i droped out due to depression, this led me to think i was the dumbest guy alive despite every other new person i've met expressing how smart they tought i was, intreagued by it, i decided to take some iq tests, 13 to be precise, and i kept getting increasely dumbfounded by every each result that avereged out in 146 iq points. This filled my mind with doubt and anxiety at a point that i felt that finally should seek pro counseling, since how could a supposedly smart person be so uncapable as i was? After some time of counseling i was diagnosed with ADHD, that made just absolute sense and my life have gotten so much better since.

*Do you believe you're a good person? If so, then have you ever lied, stolen, cursed, committed adultery, or even murder? If the answer is YES, then you have sinned.* According to the Bible, sin is lawlessness. (1 John 3:4) In other words, you broke God’s law and you are His enemy. God’s enemies end up in Hell, which is a place where there is outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and torment that goes on forever with no rest.

the only thing that defines a persons IQ. is persistence, and doubt.
I took IQ test with pyschologist and also while college and scored 154 and 149, respectively. I also have ADHD, both social and generalized anxiety, and extremely introverted. I am an overthinker and spend most of days going down rabbit holes on almost anything (can research on internet 10 hours a day). I don't feel "normal"; almost like I am trapped in my thoughts. I feel my IQ really just equates to having more common sense than most people and having the ability to logically resolve most issues. My grades were just average, I struggle to concentrate in classes and if not for acing exams , I would have failed college. While I make an upper middle wage income, I don't think having a high IQ really has benefitted me but maybe because of the ADHD and anxiety.
That sounds similar to my own experiences, except I can be both introvert and extroverted at times. I spend most of my free time reading online and TH-cam. I used to spend 8 hrs per day at the library (while not enrolled in school). I’ve only taken an online IQ test and scored a 127, which aren’t accurate. It has been suggested that I would likely score higher on the official IQ test that covers more abilities than the online version. I just finished a nursing program which was not a problem for me. Thanks for sharing.
I have an IQ of about 170 I was also blessed with a thing called Asperger’s. Which came with chronic depression and anxiety and with that habitual procrastination so yeah I basically suck at talking with anyone new and can’t even garner up the courage to even do it in the first place. But yeah 20 years old no job no plan no girl no house (own). But yeah I’m exactly like you. Brains aren’t the end all be all

One day, my parents banned me from doing science experiments when I injured part of my face due to a explosion from a science experiment. From then I was really confined within my thoughts. I really had a hard time making friends since young as they didn't understand topics of my interest which was innovation,human civilization and science fiction. I experienced all forms of bullying since young at school due to the fact of being perceived different from them.Currently I am now suffering from Social isolation with no support from my family members and no friends at all for the past 17 years.

Thank you for this video. It’s incredibly liberating to see someone who experiences so many things in a similar way as I do. I’ve always felt like there was something wrong with me, that I was weird. For a long time, I carried very strong self-hating thoughts. My brain actually brought me down to the point where I believed I was dumber than most people and that I’d never achieve anything.
Gradually, though, I’ve started to see that this feeling came from not fitting in with others, and they made me feel like I didn’t belong (and my brain completely used that against me). On top of that, the things I thought were “stupid” turned out to be signs of intelligence.
Believing in my intelligence and abilities is a new thing for me-maybe within the last three years. I still think deeply about many things, and what you mentioned about IQ tests-that you need to think simply-I completely resonate with that. School used to feel too boring, unnecessary, or incomprehensible to me because I function differently than most people. Sometimes, I’d get really bad results on certain tests, but all it took was transferring to a private school in eighth grade, and suddenly, I excelled in many areas.
Self-awareness and finding meaningful connections are currently the most important things in my life. My intelligence has led me into really difficult situations, but perhaps, in the end, it will lead me to much more beautiful things. It’s a double-edged sword. It can either help us tremendously or completely destroy us.
I wish you the best in your life. It’s amazing that you’ve realized why certain things happened to you and have gradually transformed your life. Even though it’s sometimes challenging-I know what you’re talking about-I truly wish for you to feel as content as possible :).

I am impressed at how similar our lives experiences are. I am also in the 133-ish IQ range and also often felt that people were oddly reckless, unfoundedly confident yet egotistically fragile, depending on the context. I am also a sensitive person and often felt people tend to be ruthless as long as their immediate comfort isn't challenged.
I have felt like I was a coward because I wouldnt take physical challenges that others would. Like avoiding a fight in a bar where had I fell. I might have gotten a concussion or worse on the hard floor.
*Do you believe you're a good person? If so, then have you ever lied, stolen, cursed, committed adultery, or even murder? If the answer is YES, then you have sinned.* According to the Bible, sin is lawlessness. (1 John 3:4) In other words, you broke God’s law and you are His enemy. God’s enemies end up in Hell, which is a place where there is outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and torment that goes on forever with no rest. (Matthew 25:30, Matthew 25:31-36, 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10, Revelation 14:11) Anybody that ends up in Hell will NOT have a second chance after the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27) *Does that concern you?* You might be thinking, “I haven’t murdered anyone or committed any of the bigger sins worthy of hell.” Well, let’s see about that. Did you know that having hatred towards someone like your own brother or sister makes you a murderer at heart? (Matthew 5:21-22 and 1 John 3:15) If you ever looked at a person that you are not married to with lust (sexual desire), then you have already committed adultery with them in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you have ever said, "Oh my God," or "Jesus Christ," to express frustration or annoyance, then you have used the Lord's name in vain and used it in place of a curse word. That is called “blasphemy.” You wouldn't use your loved one's name as a curse word, would you? By saying His name in place of a curse word, you have insulted your creator. He has given you life, eyes to see, ears to hear, and taste buds for food. *If you have committed ANY one of these sins, then you are destined to go to hell. Do you know what God did for guilty sinners, so that they wouldn’t end up in hell?*
*We have all sinned. (Romans 3:23) So, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to bear our sins. He was buried in a tomb and rose on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He showed His love toward us by dying for us while we were still sinners (His enemies) so that He could redeem us. God's wrath is on those who remain in their sins and do not believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. We all deserve to be sent to hell. However, Jesus made a way for us to be free from our sins and now wants us to live a different life. If you TRULY BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you, then you must repent (turn away from your sins and forsake them), be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (born again by water and Spirit), and live for Him with the help of His Holy Spirit, which will help you live a godly/holy life on this Earth. We live as saints (not sinners) to show our gratitude for the love He has shown to us by taking up the cross. We must have faith (believe/trust) in Jesus Christ, and by the grace of God, it will lead us to salvation. Also, FEAR GOD to stay away from evil and the things that would otherwise morally corrupt us, and continue to faithfully and obediently follow the Lord to the end (Hebrews 5:9)*
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7)
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Matthew 7:21-23)
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21)
“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
"Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ ” (Mark 8:34-38)
"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:38)
"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:1-4)
"For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:13-14)
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (Romans 10:9-13)
"Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.' " (2 Timothy 2:19)
"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14)
"For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)
"But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17)
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
*That was the Gospel message. Believe in the Gospel and obey the Lord Jesus Christ!*
I’ve never taken an IQ test but I 10000000% agree
We are all egostically fragile, just look at your long narcissistic rant here...
Many gifted people are a bit spoiled, self obsessed and narcissistic
Steven Hawking: " people that mention their IQ are losers"
This…this 100%. Reading this comment and a lot of the others makes me think that maybe we are part of an entirely different group of humans. These comments reinforce what I’ve been thinking my entire life.
I feel I often overthink and overcomplicate the world. The key to understanding, is trying to understand something in its simplest form. Sometimes you don't need to second guess the obvious
Yep, being bullied is definitely a sign of a gifted person being targeted among mediocre minds. Sorry for the strong words there.
Yes, it's terrible. It's understandable from their viewpoint, their hierarchical status is at risk by your mere existence, so of course they attack in the ways they can. But that doesn't make it any more pleasant of course, nor a reason to simply undergo it. On the conrtrary actually, once you understand what they're really doing (what the social meaning of it is for them, and why they naturally revert to this kind of behavior), it becomes almost logical to not accept any of it and react efficiently.
This sounds a bit like something my mom would say..
They don’t hate you, the’re just jealous..
But wouldn’t an intelligent person adapt?
Seems to me like you decided to blame others for your problems..
@@mb2770 I don't think that's how it works
I was the most bullied boy during my whole childhood, but I didn’t feel gifted at all. I am still not liked by most people, the difference is that I am got used to it. I haven’t done the IQ test yet. I feel so related to what he is saying, every time I try to help people doing something better, and hey get offended or angry.

I don't like saying gifted. It implies it is a universally desirable trait. In a dark room of monsters it is not always fun to have the best eyes.

@@IDGAG dude to be brutally honest you just sound like another smart egocentric person who thinks you are smarter than everyone and no one will understand you.
In fact all the theories and ideas you just made up in you head are nothing and it means little compared to all the concepts made by the thinkers and scientists that lived before.
Why think so hard and blame your own head for making no sense rather than actually learning and trying to make sense out of all the studies and struggles the scientists and philosophers did and the profound concepts and answers they came up with.
Be humble and always be thirsty for knowledge and everything will start to make sense.
Although like you said nothing really doesn't matter, that part was right

Culture and living experience will still play a large role in ones personality. Love and peace.
Never been tested but wow, I can relate so much to this. The wanting to help, the boredom at school (even tested as a child and recommended for advanced programs) poor parental upbringing (never put me in the programs), the constant analyzing, the inability to "get along with others".

Our school system and a lot of schools (in the US) have a gifted or challenge class in which you are tested in the first grade and if your IQ is around 120-130 then you get put into that class. I had the opportunity to do so. And if you were wondering what we did in that class, well we would just do puzzles and we would read more difficult books. I remember dissecting a couple of more things than I did in regular classes. We would come up with solutions to hypothetical problems and talk about them.That is just a really really vague description but it will do I suppose.
The highly intelligent person is never bored. Even if the teacher is talking about something which seems obvious the mind of the highly intelligent person is working beyond it and thinking of interesting alternatives. People of average intelligence are the ones that bore easily.
My ma has an iq of 141 from one of these iq tests. The legit ones. I have always felt weird and different and can relate alot to this lad except, I did terrible in school and socially I say things sometimes that are logically and unequivocally true where people don't seem to want to know those things and it ends in a negative interaction more than not when I do this. But I've been told I may have autism. I may take one of these tests because who knows. Hopefully my ma's intelligence rubbed off on me and that could explain things. Then I need to get checked for autism I think cause my social skills lack pretty badly.
This is very insightful and really expresses a wealth of experience that is really awesome to be shared in such a genuine way. Not like alot of youtube. Thank you for this.
I’m 20 years old. When I went to the psychiatrist he made me do a supervised IQ test I’ve also had a result of 133 but he told me I’m not using my gift the way I’m supposed to. Watched your video hoping I’d find an answer to how I’d use my gift, but instead found a very wise and grounded person and you just gave me hope that it’s not too late to start using my IQ in the right place. I look up to you

Lot’s of self-satisfied people on the comments. Doesn’t mean anything if you don’t do anything with it. Stop compensating, step it up or accept yourself. Too many of you are saying how great you could’ve been… our world is based on ambition.
My IQ has been measured at 141. I am able to grasp things very, very quickly. When learning something new it almost seems that I'm _remembering_ it rather than learning it.
What is strange though is that if I don't use what I've learned I forget it really quickly.
In social situations I basically imitate what others do around me, I'm not great at fitting in.
I'm irritated by and awed by other people.
My hobby is thinking, one of my greatest pleasures in life is to lie awake at night for hours on end just thinking.
I can never get to sleep quickly, it always takes me a minimum of an hour no nod off.
I share your love of Star Trek.
I don't watch many TV programs, but Star Trek and Sherlock Holmes are my absolute favourites.

I really hate loud noises. I love quiet.
I'm a really good programmer - that's what I do for a living.
I'm ashamed to say that I'm really enjoying not having to interact physically with people during lockdown.
I'm dreading all of the hugs that people are threatening to inflict on eachother when/if this pandemic comes to an end.
Hey Michael, I enjoy the lockdown too, for the most part, and I'm not ashamed to say or think or feel so. I'm not hurting anyone in being an introvert and enjoying peace and calm (and the more environmentally friendly lifestyles of other people, be it unwanted).
I used to imitate a lot too, but I found out it isn't necessary. They actually don't give a hoot about you, as long as you don't get in their way. And if you get in their way, and "own" your point or stance, they'll even respect it, and it's not a problem either. So you can actually be yourself to a large degree, they don't care. The only thing you have to do, is not overexpose yourself. Their screaming indifference is your safe haven.
I know it sounds like publicity, but you might be interested in my latest book "How to handle neurotypicals" bit.ly/neurotp. It's a lifetime of learning in a condensed format, it's meant to be informative, and "connect" between neurodivergents at the same time. Should ring some belles here and there for you, and might give you a fresh perspective.
Also, check out my video on the 2D:4D ratio, prenatal testosterone and the influence on brain and behavior, it might also be an eye-opener for you... th-cam.com/video/OmbEaBfzKFk/w-d-xo.html. And have a great day! :)
You know, having just read your post, I agree with the not-being-able-to-fall-asleep part. One of the hardest things for me, would be to fall asleep without 'exploding' in thought. I like to compare my brain to a pinball machine. All it takes is just one 'thrust', or thought, and all of a sudden I am bouncing off of the walls, so to speak.
i can relate to this, it really feels like "remembering" when i'm learning something... i also work as a programmer btw :)
How did you test your iq ??
Hahaha!! Though I have absolutely no idea what my IQ is, don't care either, I too can relate to alot of this and found the part about enjoying the lockdown hilarious because where I'm at, I seem to be the only one that prefers not having to physically interact with so many people.😄
That could also just be a personality trait which has it's roots in other areas. Who knows. Maybe we're just weird like that.🤷♀️

I got into trouble and ended up taking an IQ test. When they told me that I was gifted and that 98% of the world was more stupid than me I felt strange. BTW my sister was diagnosed as a sociopath and her IQ was identical to mine.
Would be interesting to check your digit ratio: th-cam.com/video/OmbEaBfzKFk/w-d-xo.html
I’m going out on limb but I don’t think anyone would say that 98% of the population is dumber than the person who is gifted. If they did they don’t understand gifted.
Sociopaths always seem to have high IQs. They're damn witty.😂
They are not more stupid than you, a person with an iw of 128 is not less capable than a person with an iq of 130.
@@eraybulgaria I am not being arrogant when I call people with lower iq stupid. I had always felt that I was stupid. One strange thing is that there are a lot of people out there who think that they are perfection personified when it is obvious that they are compromised intellectually.

I understand, but I came to see philosophy as completely missing the point. Like lost in its own fumes completely, and although they think they talk about the world, they actually don't even realize where their own butt is (they "know" where it is, but they don't realize it). Completely missing the acute here.
@@Abel.Abelson I think the Enchiridion of Epictetus Translated by Elizabeth Carter is by far the best. I too would have thought philosophy was a bunch of pretentious old farts had i not read this first.. Like Plato's republic, just wow so drawn out and dull.
If you haven't read the enchiridion by Epictetus, i would strongly recommend giving it a chance, that book changed my outlook on life more than any other..
I'll be sure to check out your book ..
@@gameshot586 My biggest problem with philosophy is that most, if not all, is based on the blank slate paradigm. Meaning they talk about "the human" this and that ("the human condition", etc), but actually there are innate neurological differences between (groups of) humans that are so huge that there's nothing you can say in general about the human experience/existence/... that makes sense, if you see what I mean. All of them blissfully unaware of neurodiversity and how your individual neurological setup defines your inner and outer world. The only philosopher I kind of like, and in retrospect, that acknowledged neurodiversity in an instinctive way, was Diogenes of Sinope. Cool guy :) Story goes an emperor who was an admirer of his came to see him while he was sitting outside, and asked him what he could give him, and Diogenes replied "if you could just move aside a few inches, you're blocking my sun" :)
@Benjamin Aguilar Just like any other neural firing is ;)
@@Abel.Abelson You dont believe in a creator?
this is extremely valuable info and it's gonna help out a lot of people like you and me! thank you so much for the kindness of sharing
I could relate to wanting to help people yet having ambivalent feelings towards them.
Yes, as long as you don't see their characteristics for what they really are, and (next step in the process) accept them (easier said than done, but not at all impossible), you can't help but try to help and be irritated by them (or hate them) at the same time.
Check out my book "How to handle neurotypicals" bit.ly/neurotp, it's written with respect to all of that. I think reading it you'll partly recognize yourself, partly pick up some interesting information on the way.
As another person who’s been called ‘gifted,’ I really relate to what you said. There was a time in my childhood that I tried to dumb myself down in an attempt to gain social capital. It really just ended up making me look like the class clown, which didn’t help anyone relate to me. It caused me to fall behind and develop unhealthy responses to work and stressors, which are becoming much more prominent now that I’m further along in my education. For any other ‘giftees’ reading this, don’t do what I did. Being yourself is the only satisfying way to be. Also, educate yourself about Asperger’s, OCPD, and ADHD. They’re extremely under diagnosed and I would hesitate a guess that at least half of the gifted kids at my school were on the Asperger’s spectrum. If you constantly feel like you see the world in a different way than other people, that’s a big clue. It’s important to understand how this condition can affect you because the world is built to serve the needs of neurotypical people.
Thanks for sharing, I agree completely! Concerning "the world is built to serve the needs of neurotypical people", once you get certain fundamentals right and wise up on them, the world can also become your oyster again ;) For you and everyone else reading this: check out my book "How to handle neurotypicals" bit.ly/neurotp !

good insight, tyler. i agree
thanks for this. i tested for 143 a year back, at 16. thanks to you its starting to make sense why I feel like no one thinks properly and like they are dumb even though i dont get good grades. This helps so much.
Wubba lubba dub dub.
That's how I felt for a good period of time until I started reaching out to others in similar communities. Communities like tech, science, and creative arts (everyone wants to be an artist but I'm talking about musicians, etc. that are good enough to actually make money out of it) tend to have a higher abundance of others with a high IQ. I actually met my wife because we were both doing creative arts for a living at the time. I've since moved on to I.T. because I love it and it makes a better living but that's what prompted us to get to know each other. It's the basic notion of finding out what you're interested in, then finding others in the same subject.
The internet is full of people claiming to be highly intelligent. You see, on the internet wishful thinking counts as fact.
There’s this painting in which dozens of ladders jut from a mind in a precarious stack towards a light, but the structure becomes completely untenable just short of it. That’s what having an _almost_ above average IQ is like. I’d trade a bit more loneliness for the real deal tbh.
You can also use your intelligence to learn social cues and develop better emotional intelligence. One big issue with us high IQ people is that we just specialize in one kind of knowledge. When we work on different aspects of ourselves including the ones we're lacking we are able to handle more situations with ease.
@@smartjackasswisdom1467 Yeah I feel grateful that at a young age I realized my lack of social ability and used my intelligence to develop better social cues and in general interact with people better. I indulged myself in their interest and soon found the commonalities between what I find of interest and what they do. Ive grown up knowing that the majority of what I love wont be understood by the masses but I understand the majority of what the masses love and it helps make it all feel less lonely.
I have a similar IQ to yours and I don’t know if you have ever felt this, but when you know you are gifted it puts a lot of pressure on you, people expect you to be like a new Albert Einstein or something and it just makes me feel like I’m not good enough. Lately I’ve been thinking about how I’m no longer the one I used to be and that I’m starting to be dumber and dumber and it just... makes me feel like I gave away my gift
I have people in my life that, like yourself, feel they are getting dumber and dumber over time. Now I won’t tell you my IQ score, only because I’m a big believer that intelligence can’t possibly be measured by a test. However, I’m 26 and I feel like my cognitive performance, my empathy, and my overall intelligence is improving immensely. And this is because I go to great strides to exercise and care for my brain. As the saying goes "use it or lose it".
My dear foreign friend,trust me,can you tell why you aren't pursuing your goals in life and live your life to its fullest while you could do it easily and way better than your peers?
Can you just answer this simple question?
Try to see it on The biological way, firstly. Which means that you should do as much as you can to keep your Brain healthy. Try to improve your routine, to take out bad things. And then you try to get your ideas together. This in a long time. Take it easy and slowly! Good luck, bro!
Oh my god, yes i have been like that as well. It seems like people are far more intelligent than they used to be
were the conditions before more enjoyable and now more threatening? did you have more confidence because of competent conditions which result you can repeat right now? If so, the results would be better or worse? If has to do with information, it’s normal to forget. If it has to di with age, it’s normal for gifted children to have stuff that is too easy (and a lot of classmates that perform less than they are expected by the government, criteria that is low fir gifted people). The Dunning-Kruger effect can happen in any decil, because competence and confidence (whether low or high) its there. Maybe you noticed flaws you didn’t see before, but that is part of your personal journey. Do you have a project more complex that you had before? that is also part of you getting more developed: the thing is that you didn’t have to put the same effort as the other people under a far less chaotic environment, in which you are a possibility that is not being helped as it should, because gifted children are also special needs
heh as a fellow highly intellectual person myself *pats back* I can concur with your exquisite observations. We are truly the most intelligent people among us.
We have almost identical stories. I didn't really even START to wrap my head around how different I was until my 30's. Everything you're describing is what I've been doing for years now (I'm 55). It can be hard to talk about because the vast majority of people, literally, can't understand. I'm happy for you and good video.
*Do you believe you're a good person? If so, then have you ever lied, stolen, cursed, committed adultery, or even murder? If the answer is YES, then you have sinned.* According to the Bible, sin is lawlessness. (1 John 3:4) In other words, you broke God’s law and you are His enemy. God’s enemies end up in Hell, which is a place where there is outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and torment that goes on forever with no rest. (Matthew 25:30, Matthew 25:31-36, 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10, Revelation 14:11) Anybody that ends up in Hell will NOT have a second chance after the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27) *Does that concern you?* You might be thinking, “I haven’t murdered anyone or committed any of the bigger sins worthy of hell.” Well, let’s see about that. Did you know that having hatred towards someone like your own brother or sister makes you a murderer at heart? (Matthew 5:21-22 and 1 John 3:15) If you ever looked at a person that you are not married to with lust (sexual desire), then you have already committed adultery with them in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you have ever said, "Oh my God," or "Jesus Christ," to express frustration or annoyance, then you have used the Lord's name in vain and used it in place of a curse word. That is called “blasphemy.” You wouldn't use your loved one's name as a curse word, would you? By saying His name in place of a curse word, you have insulted your creator. He has given you life, eyes to see, ears to hear, and taste buds for food. *If you have committed ANY one of these sins, then you are destined to go to hell. Do you know what God did for guilty sinners, so that they wouldn’t end up in hell?*
*We have all sinned. (Romans 3:23) So, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to bear our sins. He was buried in a tomb and rose on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He showed His love toward us by dying for us while we were still sinners (His enemies) so that He could redeem us. God's wrath is on those who remain in their sins and do not believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. We all deserve to be sent to hell. However, Jesus made a way for us to be free from our sins and now wants us to live a different life. If you TRULY BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you, then you must repent (turn away from your sins and forsake them), be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (born again by water and Spirit), and live for Him with the help of His Holy Spirit, which will help you live a godly/holy life on this Earth. We live as saints (not sinners) to show our gratitude for the love He has shown to us by taking up the cross. We must have faith (believe/trust) in Jesus Christ, and by the grace of God, it will lead us to salvation. Also, FEAR GOD to stay away from evil and the things that would otherwise morally corrupt us, and continue to faithfully and obediently follow the Lord to the end (Hebrews 5:9)*
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7)
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Matthew 7:21-23)
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21)
“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
"Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ ” (Mark 8:34-38)
"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:38)
"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:1-4)
"For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:13-14)
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (Romans 10:9-13)
"Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.' " (2 Timothy 2:19)
"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14)
"For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)
"But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17)
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
*That was the Gospel message. Believe in the Gospel and obey the Lord Jesus Christ!*
Nuerodivergent. Same as me.
Same. Started figuring this out in my twenties. I also couldn't believe that I could be gifted, as I always had very low self esteem and was very self conscious.
I have an IQ of 137-142, unsure of exact number now. I am finishing medical school soon and starting training in psychiatry. I prefer to spend most of my free time alone. I know a tremendous amount about my hobbies and am easily bored with people who don't know a lot about at least something. I have also had troubles in the past, like social phobia/anxiety and severe alcohol and drug addiction when a teenager, but I have been recovered from the latter for 10 years. My life struggle is the difficulty in communicating my complicated philosophies and knowledge systems to others--for me, they are like instantaneous visions, if that makes any sense, and verbalizing these takes a lot of words. Sometimes I must resort to telling people, "I'm right about this. Just trust me." And my other difficulty is that my way of viewing the world and making decisions is based on a mental catalog of thousands of research papers and books I've read, and it is frustrating to relate to people who just make choices out of transient feelings at a given moment in time, almost at random.
That sounds a bit like typical Asperger's to me, would you recognize yourself in that? What's your 2D:4D digit ratio? (I would hypothesize rather on the masculine side). th-cam.com/video/OmbEaBfzKFk/w-d-xo.html
Meh dude, my recommendation, get over yourself. Open a advance calculus textbook and try to solve some of the harder question by heart in a quick manner. Or open a textbook in advance medicine and ask yourself, how much of the diseases and symptoms etc can you actually recognize that is beyond the average medical student? If your answer is, yes I can do advance calculus with easy from heart on a white piece of paper, or even in my head, or I can recognice several medical symptoms and add them up and put a correct diagnosis on rare diseases outside of the basic textbooks you learn in class, yea then you might be on to something. Otherwise, again give it a rest and actually do your best in your field instead of bragging about some arbitrary average score of 135-140 lol
@@snyggmikael You can always start your own organization for intellectually gifted people and select members on the basis of calculus textbooks and recognition of diseases in medical textbooks. Might be jolly good fun, why not. The rest of the world will probably continue to use standardized IQ-tests though.
And BTW, mentioning your IQ, especially in a comment on a video about intellectual giftedness, is not bragging, it's simply a relevant piece of information.
I also did a test and got 137. I can relate very much with what youre saying except for the alcohol. I guess it also comes with isolation and social neglect. Its weird if you know the advanced like machinery or systems and mechanics of a concept and how to apply it in a functional way like on all levels, socially, personally or in careers and people dont get it while this is how it works efficiently. I also dont get why people dont value this and why theyre being so dysfunctional. I dont mean to sound mean but thats literally exactly what it looks like. I thought everyone thinks like me and i didnt understand people and always thought there was something wrong with me but i guess its them hahahahha
Like i wouldnt care if there werent so many wars and such suffering in the world.. but unfortunately the result of unwholesome behaviour is suffering thats why it makes me sad..
Thank you for making this video.
I am quite possibly not as high IQ as you, but I relate to everything you've said.
I used to spend a lot of time trying "to be normal" and please my parents, friends and teachers. It took me 8 years to recover from trauma and actual relative success of numbing my mind which I've achieved.
Don't follow this path, it's not worth it. Be unique - find people you can relate to - is my message to whoever is reading this.

Hey, Abel. I have never made official IQ tests but scored relatively high on the MENSA online test, 133 as well. I can relate to many things you said. I always felt "better" than most but also worst in a sense. People always seemed to be living life in the easy mode while I had to figure out stuff on my own. I have always been very unassertive and insecure. My interests as a kid were creating fictional countries, languages, and cultures. I'm more of a humanities guy. My grades in school were pretty bad.
I feel like when you have a higher IQ all this social play we have to perform becomes clearer and clearer, thus harder to participate. Seems like I can't communicate to anyone because of it.
Great video. Nice to know there are people similar to me.
Yes, completely. It's like a theater piece but with the lights on, bad props and bad acting, we just can't really get into it, right? Glad the video was helpful :)
You know, once you really get to understand them, these neurotypicals do have their reasons and logic and after all a quite complex and dense social interaction, simply not in the manner we have. Knowing what makes them tick helps a lot in sharing the same planet (and often room) with them.
You should definitely check out my books, I'm sure you'll find a high degree of recognition there, and also quite some info that will add new angles to your reflections: amzn.to/3paQsmz .
@@Abel.Abelson Thank you, will check them out
I thought the supposed "online mensa iq test" wasn't a legitimate test and I didn't find that out until after I took it and got 142 on it and attempted to find a way to get into mensa but of course you can't if it isn't a legitimate test.
I noticed this too. But I learned how to talk and participate to a much better point then barely getting by after awhile. If you stop thinking and get used to responding and reacting with no thought then life communicating with them is a lot easier. Yea, socializing is hopelessly complicated but I think for them it is mostly an automated process. Most of it I think is learned behavior that they practice emulating but wouldn't be able to describe themselves.
Are you my twin lol
Why do I relate to you so much. TH-cam really just recommending me this

@@Abel.Abelson - You are missing blissful ignorance sir. Trust me, as an African American man in the U.S. who became a vegetarian and took an interest in the stock market and world religion at the age of nine I understand. To be a sheep is easy, however, to question things in a structured society with norms is socially risky.
Well atleast you dont lie.
Seems like you have a greater sense of humor than everyone In the comments haha
dumbass
its really frustrating when you notice problems in society, and try to fix them or tell people about them, but that the other people just don’t seem to care about it
Right i can definitely relate to that
especially at work. you adress a problem and for them, somehow, you become the problem
But that is not because of intelligence alone but also empathy, which becomes more rare each day
@@draugno7I'd say at least cognitive empathy is congruent with intelligence. I don't think there's a real benefit to having such a strong feeling of empathy that it overrides your decision making. a friend told me once "the road to hell is paved with good intentions".
@lunagardvonbingen that depends. Usually close relationships suffer because of lack of empathy but it's beneficial in professions like a surgeon. And that quote in my opinion means that people justify their actions by doing something for the greater good (Hitler as a drastic example).
I also feel that way, i overthink things a lot, but more often than not, i try to find the best solution to everything using my head instead of my feelings, i used to feel shy and introverted and different around people, but one night i decided to drink my shyness away and show a part of me i never shown and now i just never have to hide it, plus i got new clothes and a new haircut so that also helped me get more confidence.
I'm slightly autistic and i have ADHD, i've also passed a lot of time playing on my computer and watching educational youtube videos nearly everyday when i was younger, i'm 20 years old as of posting this comment.
Thank you for this. You’ve described everything I’ve lived with for 47 years. I had always thought I was mentally ill until a psychologist told me that there was nothing wrong with me and sent me to a behavioral specialist to have an IQ test. It’s a bit of a struggle since I tend to think in very abstract concepts, and when I offer help (like you describe), it is often met with a negative response. My wife says I come across as cold and unsympathetic and that is why I get negative reactions. It’s a constant learning process now, and I find sometimes I have to act like someone else in social settings.
O yes, very relatable. My wife says the same of me.🙂 It's hard if you have to remind yourself of who you are and what your true motivations are against the biases and misinterpretations of people as close as your own life's partner. But that's how it is, we're all survivors so that's what we'll continue doing...
Many times i just say something in order to initiate a conversation and the other guy suddenly gets offended and never talks to me again. A few days ago somenone blocked me on facebook because of that.
I feel like you are not using your brain to analyze situation and what the other person is comfortable with , you read the reaction and adapt to the situation and person its not too complicated
I always thought I was stupid or was just missing things, until one kind employer told me this after I was berating my own work "You are so far ahead you're only seeing what's missing. You're 20 miles into a marathon and focusing on the last few miles but you're 20 miles in".
Now I realize that my issue is that I see way too far ahead. At work people want to do step A, then step B and then step C. Then I come in and say that we can already work on Z and ignore the first few steps. I can be right, and my idea can be great, but if I cave in because I'm in minority, the meritt of my idea won't mean much. It's one of the craziest things you learn in life. It doesn't matter what your ideas are, it only matters how hard you fight for them.
It benefits us greatly to connect our hearts to our minds, especially amongst men. Find a mens counselor who can give you great insight on what you might be missing as a fully integrated human being.
I was given questions in my verbal reasoning classes and I always got at least 20% wrong because I was “over complicating” the answers. I have to be reminded that it’s supposed to be a simple answer. I’m not smart, I simply loook too deep into the questions.
Frank Sinatra's "Balls in Yo Jaws" used to play at my uncle's house all the time when I was young! I remember him picking me up in his van after t-ball practice, it was cool because it always had candy! He always had a warm popsicle in his pants too, cream-filled I think? He used to compliment me on how good I could keep secrets. The song really takes me back to a better time!
As a fellow sufferer of this relatively uncommon condition I have always wondered why they refer to it as a gift, in my experience it is more of a curse. I’ve become somewhat of a dilettante and found it very difficult to function “normally”, every professor I had at University wanted to see me personally after reading the first paper I would submit and tell me if I only knuckled down I could pursue an academic career but I could never select a single field of study; I find most social interactions profoundly unfulfilling, have worked a wide variety of jobs without being able to discover a sense of vocation (the closest I came to a career was as a chef because it’s so challenging, but eventually the hours and outrageously low wages wore me down). Depression, isolation and a kind of listless drift have been the mainstays of my adult life, along with a constant, nagging sense of failure.
Start a business
I feel this heavy, for the most part. People always wish they were smart. I think that's a poor thing to want/strive for. I think if most people suddenly woke up significantly smarter, they'd blow their heads clean off after a couple weeks. Its rough dealing with deep, philosophical questions racing through your mind, and thinking about how most people essentially suck and are fake people.
I was labeled as top 2% of top 2%, passing mensa exams at 12, but I left the straight and narrow and coasted through education only putting effort into exams and expectedly diddnt achieve my potential accedemicly.
I think of most things about modern life in comparison to humans over millenia from diet to behaviour.
Were not designed to be in the class room.
I still exell in understanding new topics and spend most of my free time learning but I found my calling in life not purely thinking and achieving acedemic success but getting a fairly regular job as a renderer (throwing various types of mud and rock at walls) my understanding of the sciences along with being very physical have left me legues above the types who usually take up this trade and now I do very well in life and feel great satisfaction. I do have the strangest of hobby's as most would regard them to satisfy my hunger for understanding and knowledge.
I get the depression thinking about how the world works and almost seeing into the future with certain personal and social situations that I feel powerless to effect. It's easy to wish ignorance.
Maybe try something similar in aiming to what seems to be beneath you but obsessing and developing ideas in somthing more seen to be left to the average level thinker. That's how progress gets made when one person develops somthing simple further others follow the new knowledge developed and satisfaction is gained through making a difference and mark upon the world.
I've developed new techniques and methods along with designing my own products pushing a whole industry forward without intending to. Something as simple as spreading mud on walls. We don't have to develop the next futuristic tech or ground breaking paper. All aspects of humanity need all types of people to move forwards.
Most importantly for inner peace/happiness
BE CREATIVE in what ever discipline falls upon you as oppertunity or through persistent chasing of goals. Every disaster or bad thing in life is a new opoertunity to Learn grow and develop
Adding a little more after noticing a point in your comment after wrote that struck a chord with me thinking you may be a similar type to me.
The chef thing. That is something I'm passionate about is cooking and food. It's the basis of all life, but at the same time can be the most complex and articulate way to express your self. I've never done it professionally buy aim for professional quality at home and cooking for friends. .
It takes either an artist or a great understanding of sciences, maths ect to be at the top of the game. That could be your calling if you were pulled to it. Try aim at a small scale business rather than a busy kitchen where you could have influence over menus and dishes in time, it wouldn't take much to be able to do the same your self and be your own boss in a small establishment bringing some much needed confidence and moral boost feeling valued in your own small part of society. It doesn't take much to go from feeling worthless to feeling you were here for a reason.
I don't mean t get all profound and trying to dish out too much advice to a stranger, but oak treas grow from tiny acorns and sometimes your best off jamming that star shaped peg in the circle hole. It's stronger and still touches in all the right places leaving all those nice gaps for other things in life that bring joy.
I've never done an intelligence test, so I don't know if I'm smart or that I just think I'm smart. Anyway, after doing some intellectual jobs, I decided to get a simple job, work as less as possible (because I've never found a job I'm passionate about) and use the left-over time to figure out how I can renovate my house and survive on as little as possible. That... made me a happier person, because I can use my brain to find solutions and then put them in practice. I like the thinking part more than the acting part, but I decided that it's part of the deal. Nothing has to be perfect either, just enough to give me a sense of 'having done the best I could'.
Not preaching the off-grid evangelical, but it definitely gave me a sense of calmness.
I hope you find a way to feel fulfillment as well!!!
Thank you. I grew up in hell, but with a very high IQ. My grades were borderline, as I had figured out how to pass without doing homework. My test scores were always in the top 1%. Like you, my understanding of people is deep. I took an IQ test while I was in a shelter for runaway youth and scored it's highest testable range. I was stunned because I thought if I were smart, I would not be in the situation I was in. I had not fully understood the damage that had been done to me from severe abuse, nor did I know the level of mental illness I suffered as a result.

I have a similar background. Tortured as a child,yet gifted classes in beginning grades specifically reading and reading comprehension.
I read voraciously.
Doesn't translate to much in life other than ability to synthesize knowledge and perhaps more deeply experience life
@@josephhertzberg2734 Increased intelligence just means we contemplate more perplexing problems. It certainly does not equate to happiness nor success. Ambition and drive do that.
/agree
If it makes you feel a little better I'm more or less in the same boat. Perhaps not as abused. Grew up in a broken household, surrounded by drunks, father shot through, mother hooked up with a neighbor who was more of a drunk. Always hungry, I would get new clothes when my pants were 15-20cm over my socks and skin tight.
But in school, yeah I didn't try because I knew my parents had no money for university. I would be perpetually third and never study for anything. 1 & 2 both had tutors and studied hard. Both ended up as doctors. But... I did ok. I taught myself to program when I was 12. How the hell did I get a computer at 12 in such an environment? I delivered milk every day for 2 years and refused to 'loan' to my parents. Why computers. I found my inspiration. A movie called 'Wargames'. I kept learning. Taught the y12 computer class... but knew, No Uni for me. Applied for private education and tried to pay it off by working at McDonalds. That didn't work. Taught myself Visual Basic and got a job. In 2 years I doubled my income, in 3 years tripled with industrial certification. Today, I'm at the top of my field. A CIO balked at hiring me at one point because I'm paid more than him. He put me on a 2 year contract... and paid me even higher. These days I do Cybersecurity and Legislative Compliance Consulting for the IT space, mostly banking.
These days I have multiple properties, including a retirement rural estate. My son boards overseas following his dream of being a pro hockey player. Nice cars, nice safe suburb, private schooling all the way for the kids. I'm sitting here programming my own computer game, enjoying life doing what I like.
This is not a showing off post... the post is entirely for you because I thought I "can't" when I was young, until one day I realized that other people I was competing against had no drive and no ability and kind of just hoped for the best and leaned heavily on social connection to muddle through.. I had a goal, a dream the whole time. I was relentless and eventually I started planning ahead. Now, many years later I realized that the 'hard start' I had made me very independent, very self sufficient and it bolstered me against most of life's weaknesses. I have never smoked, drink maybe once a year, never taken drugs. I reject and resent almost everything about my childhood and that made me stronger, more focused and a better competitor in the world. I never forgave. I never forgot. Growing up hard, makes you hard in response. You may find it's a tool as valuable as anything else you have rather than a weakness.
@@nathanielacton3768 yeah, things worked out well for me after all, I guess I should've said so.
I actually dropped out of high school and took my equivalency exam.
I own a restaurant and just started buying rental property.
More interestingly, I really don't read as much, used to be a constant. I always had a book or two. I started to question why was I accumulating knowledge, was it an escape....probably.
I'm curious, but only occasionally these days and I think about what the buddhists say about intellect, beyond practicalities, being yet another distraction from peace of mind.
As for my abuser, I guess I have mostly forgiven. I had a great time raising my daughters and it was not hard to treat them with basic dignity, it was actually a delight to do so.
I am in therapy, looking once again at my disordered relationship with anxiety, it's the one persistent relic from my childhood that I have not been able to fully resolve
compared to regular folks you have this calmness that points out to a clear thinking and clear mind, it's always a pleasure to watch and be around such people
Let me guess the signs in no particular order:
1. impatience with people
2. mind works too fast
3. hate the world
4. loner
5. people don't like you
6. jobs are unfullfilling or boring
7. definitely Star Trek fan and subscribed to Paramount
8. special progress in schools, valedictorian, etc.
9. decision-making hard because you see all the angles and sub-angles
10. stellar strategic and analyst skills
11. definitely dumb down your interactions with people
12. probably will never reach your potential because life systems are geared to mediocrity
13. fully recognize that people suck and can't get out of their own way
14. can predict the future based on bringing all information together like the pieces of a large puzzle
15. more college degrees, certificates and accomplishments than any human should have
16. can't tell people what you've done because they won't believe you
17. anxiety because you see the end and it ain't pretty
That's me and IGNORANCE IS INDEED BLISS.
Edit: IQ tests are complete BULLSHYTE. If you're gifted, you know it. If you need validation from some stupid exam, then you have other issues. Society uses these tests to advance the select few they have, well... already selected.

I know all about tests... how they are designed and put together... and more importantly the type that puts them together. Ignore your test results and wipe your arse with them.

@@USARealityCheck So tell me....where exactly did you learn all about psych testing? And how many individuals did you give the plethora of tests to, such as personality inventories; Rorshach; Thematic Apperception test; Draw a family; and so many more? And for how long were you employed doing this work? I have done it, so I'm curious about you.
@@lawrence5039 Another one with a degree enjoying the smell of his/her own farts. To answer your woefully inadequate question, if your question... if you really had to ask it... then you really don't get it the many facets of this subject... or if you do... then you're protecting a corrupt/failed educational system, whether or not you know it. Some of the smartest humans of all time will not speak the truth about their discoveries, theories, or findings because of the small-minded majority which surround them or other interests which serve to suppress knowledge for financial interests.
In your case, I will not provide my personal information because you're butt-hurt that your reality is being challenged. If you don't have the background to understand what I've written yet, you may in the future as your life experience progresses.

I really find your reply humorous... you read the details which serves to put you on notice that there is someone writing with an actual brain... then instead of challenging any of the points... you attack my education and professional practice, thereby leading credence to my initial hypotheses. Thank you, now join the herd.
I'm no genius, but fairly smart, educated to an MA, and the only thing I struggle with is people simply not being interested in things, nor curious about anything. They don't want to talk or explore anything. They just talk about the same boring everyday crap and it drives me insane. I only have one good friend.
My struggle as well!
i have no good friends because of this reason.
It highly depends on the place. People found in library or say in philharmonic would surely more likely to be interested in complex topics, rather than in gossips and social dramas. Internet is full of various groups, where people discuss profound subjects. Intellectuals are like a rare treasure but for those who seeks there would always be a group of like-minded people.
I was worried this was going to be another one of those videos where the person just sits and brags for the entire time but you come across as incredibly humble person.
We've lived parallel experiences Abel. Cheers.
My mum was in Mensa with an IQ of 155. I haven't tried to enter. I did take the Mensa Norway online tes and the result said 145 or more. I find I get frustrated with most people and have to pay them lip service. I only know a couple of people with which I actually like to converse.
Yes, likewise... It would be interesting (for you too) to check your digit ratio. See the details and the (possible) link to brain development and behavior, personality etc. here: th-cam.com/video/OmbEaBfzKFk/w-d-xo.html
Same here. Most conversations are far too predictable and vapid. Most people are simply trying to self promote and I sense the ego in their words.Most decent people tend to be more obedient and usually looking for approval which is equally a turn off.
@@frusciantesplectrum7980 Exactly. It's actually based on their more profound characteristics, check out my new book for more of my ideas on that, you'll probably love it: bit.ly/neurotp !
I identify with this a lot. When I was a child, I was deemd "gifted" and placed in a school on Long Island called LISG (Long Island School for the Gifted). I had to know why everything works. I was able to read fluently by age 3. Later on, I was shifted into public schools, and began to resent this "gifted" label, and so I tucked it away, and just wanted social acceptance. After my parents divorce, I just spiraled down over the next 20+ into a life of drugs and eventually prison. I also had to deconstruct and reconstruct my life and give it real meaning and purpose.
You are right: "giftedness" is not any true advantage, due to me learning the hard way that compassion and empathy will supercede intelligence any day.
The takeaway is this: It is only what the word means: a GIFT, and it's what you do with this "gift" that gives it any meaning. Treating everyday with people with dignity, respect, and encouragement and just taking time to listening to them and their struggles has been the greatest gift to me now, and has derived the most meaning now for me. I wish anyone with a "gift" to learn to make it into a gift to humanity and not just yourself. Cheers.
I'm Kenyan & I took the online Mensa Norway test and scored a 131 . I really find my self stupid on certain occasions and extremely clumpsy with small things. So this result kinda took me by surprise on first glance . Then I remembered that I never used to struggle academically in primary school and was sort of curious and enthusiastic of certain fields of science. So I guess I drew the results from that . When I reached Highschool my mind became really hyper and at times I used to be lost in imagination and contemplation various concepts & ideas . I can also say that I got bored with school and I didn't do that well in my KSCE ( this are national exams one does at the end of highschool before joining university, kinda like SAT tests.) My ksce score got me humbled so much and at the same it kinda made see myself as more stupid than I already did . I'm working to get rid of this mindset but i'm not sure if I should because I find viewing oneself as more intelligent can ,in some sense ,make them arrogant. It's great that I can relate to a good number of things in this video.

*Do you believe you're a good person? If so, then have you ever lied, stolen, cursed, committed adultery, or even murder? If the answer is YES, then you have sinned.* According to the Bible, sin is lawlessness. (1 John 3:4) In other words, you broke God’s law and you are His enemy. God’s enemies end up in Hell, which is a place where there is outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and torment that goes on forever with no rest. (Matthew 25:30, Matthew 25:31-36, 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10, Revelation 14:11) Anybody that ends up in Hell will NOT have a second chance after the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27) *Does that concern you?* You might be thinking, “I haven’t murdered anyone or committed any of the bigger sins worthy of hell.” Well, let’s see about that. Did you know that having hatred towards someone like your own brother or sister makes you a murderer at heart? (Matthew 5:21-22 and 1 John 3:15) If you ever looked at a person that you are not married to with lust (sexual desire), then you have already committed adultery with them in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you have ever said, "Oh my God," or "Jesus Christ," to express frustration or annoyance, then you have used the Lord's name in vain and used it in place of a curse word. That is called “blasphemy.” You wouldn't use your loved one's name as a curse word, would you? By saying His name in place of a curse word, you have insulted your creator. He has given you life, eyes to see, ears to hear, and taste buds for food. *If you have committed ANY one of these sins, then you are destined to go to hell. Do you know what God did for guilty sinners, so that they wouldn’t end up in hell?*
*We have all sinned. (Romans 3:23) So, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to bear our sins. He was buried in a tomb and rose on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He showed His love toward us by dying for us while we were still sinners (His enemies) so that He could redeem us. God's wrath is on those who remain in their sins and do not believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. We all deserve to be sent to hell. However, Jesus made a way for us to be free from our sins and now wants us to live a different life. If you TRULY BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you, then you must repent (turn away from your sins and forsake them), be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (born again by water and Spirit), and live for Him with the help of His Holy Spirit, which will help you live a godly/holy life on this Earth. We live as saints (not sinners) to show our gratitude for the love He has shown to us by taking up the cross. We must have faith (believe/trust) in Jesus Christ, and by the grace of God, it will lead us to salvation. Also, FEAR GOD to stay away from evil and the things that would otherwise morally corrupt us, and continue to faithfully and obediently follow the Lord to the end (Hebrews 5:9)*
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7)
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Matthew 7:21-23)
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21)
“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
"Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ ” (Mark 8:34-38)
"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:38)
"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:1-4)
"For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:13-14)
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (Romans 10:9-13)
"Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.' " (2 Timothy 2:19)
"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14)
"For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)
"But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17)
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)

Wow, I thought I was the only one with these kinds of experiences. It feels surreal. I am in my late 20s and every single thing you mentioned resembles with my experience except the 40s thing of reconstruction.
I scored close to 2.5 SDs above the mean on the WAIS, but my issue is that I have an incredible verbal tilt. I think people with a more even cognitive profile ( the scores of all subtests being within less than a SD of each other) encounter less difficulties. what's also very underrated in these type of discussions are your executive functions, especially working memory and the ability to maintain concentration. these, while weakly correlated with g ( your 'innate' intelligence) are a different set of abilities all together and correlate more strongly with success than your raw intellectual potency
Fewer*

Well, you never know. But anyway, IQ is overrated, never mind that, the most important aspect is that of neurodivergence, of difference. What the difference exactly consists of, is secondary.

I have a complex combined type of dyscalculia but also am "gifted" even though my iq is around 115. the number in my case is essentially a projection of extremes that has literally no value in assessing my intelligence, because it reflects neither mathematical/ numerical, or the rest of my intelligence. visual spatial and semantic areas were closer to what you'd see at 160 iq, so while paradoxical, there is precedent for such a thing to occur.
Liked what he said about the difference between knowing & understanding. A small example on the top of my head, back in school I knew math, when I had the formulas down it wasn't very difficult for me but I never understood it. I just did it.
I appreciate that he did this video, being honest and really talking about himself, very cute. I think we can all relate to him in some way or another.
I've always had despair about life, for instance I would realise that I'm conscious or self aware and realise how weird it was or how weird it was that I could move my fingers and then thought of how weird it was that could think that I could think this etc. Or how weird it was that we were self aware beings on a rock that was rotating a ball of plazma, etc. And I don't really know if it has any correlation with my intelligence but I would always ask my mom, friend or relative if it was weird or fascinating but no one I know related to the same thoughts I had
I can relate to that. Maybe your 2D:4D ratio / prenatal testosterone levels can shed some light on that, see my video th-cam.com/video/OmbEaBfzKFk/w-d-xo.html for more details...
Had similar thoughts as a kid, but never had the desire not even one bit to ask someone about it.
OOOH I can relate to that SO MUCH
Existential, man! I relate
Who the fuck doesn’t think that at some point stop tryna act special
Brother youve nailed so many good points here. Good on ya for this!
As someone with a 150iq being in highschool, I can relate to many attributes you said you had as a kid and its a relief knowing I'm not the only one lol
🤣 for person with a high iq. You grammer is nonexistent. 😮
You do not have an IQ of 150.
My experienced with taking IQ test first time was the same I overcomplicated it... and got 90... for years I thought I was mentally limited... later I did test again and got 142... Better late than never I guess :)
Growth mindset
There is no way both tests were legitimate. There is not that much variation in IQ test results ever
How long in between tests?
@@ericflynn6541 if you don't understand how iq tests work, it can happen. I had my first test that I thought I had to complete in a very short amount of time to get a high score. So I rushed through it and scored 119. After 3 years I took 2 test and scored 137 and 140. Because I took my time but still finished within the time limit.
*Do you believe you're a good person? If so, then have you ever lied, stolen, cursed, committed adultery, or even murder? If the answer is YES, then you have sinned.* According to the Bible, sin is lawlessness. (1 John 3:4) In other words, you broke God’s law and you are His enemy. God’s enemies end up in Hell, which is a place where there is outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and torment that goes on forever with no rest. (Matthew 25:30, Matthew 25:31-36, 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10, Revelation 14:11) Anybody that ends up in Hell will NOT have a second chance after the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27) *Does that concern you?* You might be thinking, “I haven’t murdered anyone or committed any of the bigger sins worthy of hell.” Well, let’s see about that. Did you know that having hatred towards someone like your own brother or sister makes you a murderer at heart? (Matthew 5:21-22 and 1 John 3:15) If you ever looked at a person that you are not married to with lust (sexual desire), then you have already committed adultery with them in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you have ever said, "Oh my God," or "Jesus Christ," to express frustration or annoyance, then you have used the Lord's name in vain and used it in place of a curse word. That is called “blasphemy.” You wouldn't use your loved one's name as a curse word, would you? By saying His name in place of a curse word, you have insulted your creator. He has given you life, eyes to see, ears to hear, and taste buds for food. *If you have committed ANY one of these sins, then you are destined to go to hell. Do you know what God did for guilty sinners, so that they wouldn’t end up in hell?*
*We have all sinned. (Romans 3:23) So, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to bear our sins. He was buried in a tomb and rose on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He showed His love toward us by dying for us while we were still sinners (His enemies) so that He could redeem us. God's wrath is on those who remain in their sins and do not believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. We all deserve to be sent to hell. However, Jesus made a way for us to be free from our sins and now wants us to live a different life. If you TRULY BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you, then you must repent (turn away from your sins and forsake them), be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (born again by water and Spirit), and live for Him with the help of His Holy Spirit, which will help you live a godly/holy life on this Earth. We live as saints (not sinners) to show our gratitude for the love He has shown to us by taking up the cross. We must have faith (believe/trust) in Jesus Christ, and by the grace of God, it will lead us to salvation. Also, FEAR GOD to stay away from evil and the things that would otherwise morally corrupt us, and continue to faithfully and obediently follow the Lord to the end (Hebrews 5:9)*
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7)
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Matthew 7:21-23)
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21)
“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
"Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ ” (Mark 8:34-38)
"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:38)
"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:1-4)
"For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:13-14)
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (Romans 10:9-13)
"Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.' " (2 Timothy 2:19)
"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14)
"For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)
"But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17)
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
*That was the Gospel message. Believe in the Gospel and obey the Lord Jesus Christ!*
I did a no-verbal inteligence test a year ago and scored percentile 95....
I identify A LOT with you and your story, I think I'll get in touch with mensa in my country.
Having above average inteligence comes with a lot of pain, intelligent brains suffer in this world that makes no sense.
Thanks for this extremely honest and detailed video! I understand your feelings of difference and superiority, as well as your feeling of inferiority you talked about. I think the natural reaction to such feelings is to put them away or at least hide them, thinking "I can't be better than other people", or "I'm not that special".
It's very refreshing hearing an honest report about all this!

About 10 years ago I tested for 130-140 as well.
It's quite hard to communicate because people don't understand most of your points because you have to take them through all the logic. Once I adopted "Get money, f*** b****es " and "Never explain, people only hear what they want to hear" it became easier.But really people just bring you down and they never ever say that you're smarter. Quite opposite, they make you think your "advantage" is worthless.
yes, as i even believed some bad critics they say, those critics are from my peers, and as adult, we believe them, but it turns everything it's false, A narcisist Agenda...
hope you get what you want man...
I’ve learned that you really do need to keep things quite simple for the general population. I now work on nursing and am sometimes surprised that the questions I ask seem difficult for even master’s and MD level professionals.
@@AstroZombie1 And it seems like it's getting worse. I'm losing any sympathy I had for people. They don't know and they don't want to know. Funniest part, it actually gets them very far.
@@Avrelivs_Gold yeah it’s kinda frustrating, but it made me realize I must be pretty smart myself. In their defense, if they don’t understand something then I guess it’s hard for them to want to believe or oblige.
Thanks for sharing your story bro!
So much of your experience resonates with me. I am trying now in my 30's now and have been reconciling and processing my experience growing up and my feelings about others. It is cathartic yet melancholy at once, isolating and empowering. I grew up knowing my IQ was high as a kid because I needed to take them as I am also dyslectic. I have always felt different than most but instead of thinking everyone was dumb, I have lived most my my life just thinking everyone was "faking it" to fit in. It's hard to describe because I thought ( and maybe it is) normal, but I think about things always from the "ground up". that is, when I understand a concept or arrive at an opinion on something, I cannot help but see its connections to other ideas, and can trace its validity down to lower level "first principals". When I speak to people I am often surprised by the things they do not track with me on, as they are often something thought where obvious and not the interesting part of what I was trying to convey. IDK all this sounds I fear like a kind of brag, it is difficult because you cannot talk about this stuff really. Yet It really is confusing and I am so curious about it.
Yeah I can totally relate to the idea of breaking things down to first principles. My ex said I would overanalyze, but the results of this "analysis" were immediate and automatic for me, whereas for her she would have had to think through them in a purposeful way. And yes, it usually boiled down to moral or logical inconsistencies that were impossible for me to ignore. I'm still not sure if this is beneficial or detrimental overall, but it certainly has created social challenges for me.
I also have a pretty high iq, and did well in school despite family chaos and going to more schools than I can remember.
I've been struggling recently to acknowledge and accept my ability to learn and my differences there without it going straight to my ego. I've actually been 'playing dumb' to get along as to avoid that conflict.
All that is to say, I love your framing of the differences between people and the use of the term intellectual giftedness. It helps frame it as a gift I was given instead of something I made myself, which is humbling.
Thank you for sharing.
you just explained exactly how i feel. It's frustrating. So nice to hear someone else say it. I've never had an IQ test in adulthood, (other than the practice mensa test which i passed) but as a child took one at school and was put in the gifted program. No one ever told me my iq results. I wish I knew. Maybe i'll get tested one day.
My IQ is 130+ and had never problems with learning. In primary schools, I read informative books secretly under the table, because I was bored by understanding the lessons relatively fast. Same with secondary school. But in university, I had problems with studying because I never had to learn that. Many secondary exams later, I managed to study more efficient and it is okay now. But the thing in learning is that cognitive capabilities are just a part of gaining knowledge about the world. Other factors are for example education and social skills. Knowing yourself and your limits is a must to succeed in life. Being humble because someone else could have been born with intelligent genes instead of me as well.
Hello! 👋I'm Leon and I've always been purely facinated by the IQ-Intellectually gifted community/people, and I seek to question how their mind works in difference from mine, so as we can all learn and improve. I have a strong imagination, and I can find and create intentions very well. I have used this gift in order to compound upon my logical intellect, and solve the bigger problems in my life. For example, I use my gift of imagination in order to strengthen my learning, by creating images and emotions that I'll remember, and associating them with the fact and figures I'm learning, in order to memorize that information all together.
Here's my the big-big Discussion + Questions I would like to ask you:
I was wondering if having a high IQ allows you to more easily ask the correct questions, about the world for the sake of life's purpose. More especially, questions about purpose, intention, and organizing intentions in means goals and an end-goal. In other words, does high-IQ itself open the intention and awareness within yourself, that aid in taking better internal and emotional decisions. For example if you were in pain or trying to solve something, do you handle the pain with thoughts? Thoughts like "What am I feeling right now? What is the situation I'm in right now? What is the best decision I can make? How can I get into flow? What is the best logical decision and thought? What is the best emotional decision and thought? What is the best pessimistic decision and thought? What is the best optimistic decision and thought? What is the best creative decision and thought? What is the best management decision and thought? What am I gratefulful for? What would be the best meta-cognition thing I can do? What would be a compounding action/thought? Where should I concentrate my energy and focus? What is the most important thing I should do right now? What are the most important questions to ask myself? What Experiences do I want? What Growths do I want? What Contributions do I want [to make]?
Overall, I show all this because I've always wanted a high-IQ in order to more effectively follow through with my creative ideas and mental-maps & intentions. Thus, I ask the question, do those with High IQ have greater self-awareness and creativity? (This sounds passive-agressive but it's not:) Do you make better decisions?
@@Ceorious Imagination is a part of intelligence for sure.
Hight IQ allows you for sure to ask the right question because of good memory and insight capabilities make you see the holes in certain lessons faster while other are still processing what just is said. Inteligence is no guarantee of being wise in term of life, some intelligent people don't think of that because they are busy with something else, but in general yes, gifted people have in general more free time philosophing about life and the universe what enables them to see deeper patterns in things.
Intelligence can for sure give better decision-making by providing yourself with the ability to analyze multiple perspectives, weigh pros and cons, and predict potential outcomes. However, decision-making is also influenced by experience. For example, knowing the reason of certain moods, keeping your cool during arguments, knowing what you want without being distracted. When things go wrong, don't panic but take mentally a step back to analyze the problem from viewer perspective and try to find an logical and practical solution for it.
Another thing is that education isn't limited to your parents and teacher, so it is important to take the responsibility of education into your own hands (especially in adulthood), because learning never stops. What I did to develop myself was the following. After every day in the evening, I write down everything that happened like a diary. Most people use this to not forget thing but it can also be used to analyze yourself and your behavior. I analyze what goes right and what goes wrong. The right things keeps me positive and for the bad things I try to finds solutions every day. For example I had problems with social media and as solution I placed blockers in it (pc: Cold Turkey blocker, phone: App Block payed version). This is just an example.
Avoid contact with people who have not much useful to do in life. It is better to be alone and work on your goals than being with people who never contribute to your well-being and crave for attention. Be emphatic for someones difficulties, but be able to relativate their "suffering " to the suffering that other people (for example in developing countries) undergo.
I cant't speak for others because every life is different, but evaluating everyday is something that surely helped me. Slowly but surely my life improved after gradually implementing good habits everyday (consistent studying, working student jobs, regular sleep, very precise and detailled planning everyday, working out etc). Important to know is that everybody has a bad day and that is okay, it is almost impossible to change your life in one moment. Slow and steady wins the race.
My decision-making is much better now. And I think that the concept of evaluating can be applied to all lifes, including yours. Hopefully this will help you to find answers for all your questions.
And the most important thing is that a good future is mainly build on discipline, consistency and a good network. Intelligence surely helps but effort is the most necessary. Hopefully this will help you and good luck!😁
Dunno my IQ but i relate so much to point about studying, uni came and I was like, damn, I might need to study after this lecture, actaully was quite hard
@@neon_wombatsame
Great video. Nice explanation about the proof of mensa test helping you get closure etc.
This is the most relatable video I have ever watched.
I once scored 131 on an IQ test so Im not Einstein but I can still relate to this.
Thank you.
Mathletics level: almost Einstien
@@ronnana694 😊😊
Not sure how gifted I am but your point about people confidently going 'straight' in their lives is very relatable. So many people (not everyone) don't have a plan and suffer predictable consequences. And whenever I explain why something they are doing will lead to certain outcome even with unbreakable logic and step-by-step they just either don't get it or agree with it but still ignore it. Over time I just learned to suppress my urge to try to explain these things and let things happen as they do.
Sometimes its best to grab some popcorn and watch them dig their own grave 😂

If you TRULY BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you, then you must repent (turn away from your sins and forsake them), be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (born again by water and Spirit), and live for Him with the help of His Holy Spirit, which will help you live a godly/holy life on this Earth. We live as saints (not sinners) to show our gratitude for the love He has shown to us by taking up the cross. We must have faith (believe/trust) in Jesus Christ, and by the grace of God, it will lead us to salvation. Also, FEAR GOD to stay away from evil and the things that would otherwise morally corrupt us, and continue to faithfully and obediently follow the Lord to the end (Hebrews 5:9)*
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7)
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Matthew 7:21-23)
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21)
“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
"Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ ” (Mark 8:34-38)
"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:38)
"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:1-4)
"For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:13-14)
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (Romans 10:9-13)
"Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.' " (2 Timothy 2:19)
"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14)
"For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)
"But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17)
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)

@@wesleynunez3825 wtf? :D
This is an incredibly valuable video. Thanks for taking the time to explain like you did. Especially the "think dumb". My biggest social roadblock is overcomplicating things, not to be pretentious but because being precise matters to me more than to other people. I need to practice not over thinking, relaxing.
You're welcome, thanks for the kind comment. Have you seen my video on prenatal testosterone? I'd be interested in knowing your 2D:4D ratio (see the video), if you're interested in exploring the subject. Cfr. th-cam.com/video/OmbEaBfzKFk/w-d-xo.html
@@Abel.Abelson I just watched it, and my right hand 2D:4D ratio is 0.97-0.98 roughly. I'm not familiar enough with the research to draw any conclusions from that in high vs. low ratio. I do test poorly, though that is largely due to my issues with focus (unable to study ahead of time), combined with the "explosion of possibilities". It also happens in conversation, if there's a problem or unfamiliar term my mind will latch on and try to untangle it causing me to miss out on what the person has said. For your own interest, my IQ is somewhere between 125 and 150. Almost as though I've got a varying "focus coefficient" attached to it.
@@dittilio I think meditation could be useful for you. Mindfulness or zen.
I agree with Abel about meditation. It’s been a serious quality of life improvement for me. I’m high functioning autistic (in short), relate to what you said, and it’s done wonders for me.
*Do you believe you're a good person? If so, then have you ever lied, stolen, cursed, committed adultery, or even murder? If the answer is YES, then you have sinned.* According to the Bible, sin is lawlessness. (1 John 3:4) In other words, you broke God’s law and you are His enemy. God’s enemies end up in Hell, which is a place where there is outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and torment that goes on forever with no rest. (Matthew 25:30, Matthew 25:31-36, 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10, Revelation 14:11) Anybody that ends up in Hell will NOT have a second chance after the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27) *Does that concern you?* You might be thinking, “I haven’t murdered anyone or committed any of the bigger sins worthy of hell.” Well, let’s see about that. Did you know that having hatred towards someone like your own brother or sister makes you a murderer at heart? (Matthew 5:21-22 and 1 John 3:15) If you ever looked at a person that you are not married to with lust (sexual desire), then you have already committed adultery with them in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you have ever said, "Oh my God," or "Jesus Christ," to express frustration or annoyance, then you have used the Lord's name in vain and used it in place of a curse word. That is called “blasphemy.” You wouldn't use your loved one's name as a curse word, would you? By saying His name in place of a curse word, you have insulted your creator. He has given you life, eyes to see, ears to hear, and taste buds for food. *If you have committed ANY one of these sins, then you are destined to go to hell. Do you know what God did for guilty sinners, so that they wouldn’t end up in hell?*
*We have all sinned. (Romans 3:23) So, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to bear our sins. He was buried in a tomb and rose on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He showed His love toward us by dying for us while we were still sinners (His enemies) so that He could redeem us. God's wrath is on those who remain in their sins and do not believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. We all deserve to be sent to hell.

5:00 to 6:00 explains almost perfectly what i'm most struggling with right now. it's pushing me to the point of depression and being unable to function as an adult. i'm seeing a therapist but i don't know if she really understands and i feel weird about saying 'my problem is being smart'
I can very well relate to the experiences you had. I got an IQ of 120-130 but that is already enough to be somewhat different than most other people.
That is not the IQ of an “intellectually gifted”, sorry to bring you back to reality. Those are between 130 to 145 and at that level each point is really a lot. You are just in the top 14% like probably most of us reading this. Smarter than most, but still outsmarted by a few. And then intelligence has much more shapes and forms than the G calculated by the IQ, many people of lower IQ can be gifted in many ways.
@@augustinf I never mentioned anything about being "intellectually gifted". I guess you misunderstood something.
@@augustinfthink he was trying to say he can relate to the poster of this video even tho he is not in the “gifted” range, because those few points more make the difference when with your peers who are average.
@@augustinfsorry to kick you off your high horse.
@@AishaSezer10just let him ride bro
I don't have a high IQ and I don't have a formal diagnosis for ADHD (ADD) even though I believe it's possible I have it, but I related to a few things you mentioned about your childhood, I always felt like I saw details no one else paid attention to. However, I also feel like my personal drive to be womanly in terms of preparing myself to be a wife or mother someday, nerfed someone of that development. And I wouldn't trade that, I'm happy the way I am. I am intelligent, and successful and caring. That's good enough for me.
There’s nothing more important you can do for humanity than being a good parent. You didn’t waste your time at all. There’s too many people on this planet with “great ideas” (99% of the time 0 follow through) but we have a severe shortage of great mothers. Salute to you.
Super cool comment! Might I suggest a modest reframe however? As someone with extraordinarily high IQ & ADHD - get tested. It is SO much better to know than to wonder. There's also a high correlation of ADHD & high IQ, also if you're high in femininity you'll tend to notice details others won't as well, but please don't think that your femininity 'nerfed' your intellectual development. My grandmother was a math savant and among the world's first computer programmers. To this day the coolest woman I've ever met and I miss her every day. She was an auto-didact polymath with ADHD and was the sharpest wit I've ever known. I admire your prioritization and think it reflects your intelligence far more than 'nerfing' it.
i feel the exact same way. it can be so isolating when it feels like everyone is communicating in a different language - life feels so underfulfilling. it’s caused me great grievance in the past, especially as a teenager, because of how isolating the understimulation was back then, particularly as i lacked social skills
It's great to find videos of gifted people just talking, there are really few and sometimes you really feel like there is no one sharing the same situation.
Yes, exactly. Thank you for your comment :)

For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ ” (Mark 8:34-38)
"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:38)
"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:1-4)
"For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:13-14)
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (Romans 10:9-13)
"Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.' " (2 Timothy 2:19)
"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14)
"For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)
"But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17)
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
*That was the Gospel message. Believe in the Gospel and obey the Lord Jesus Christ!*
Dang almost felt like you were explaining my childhood
Hi, thanks for commenting! I'm glad it was meaningful to you. The problem in the end is not how one is or is not, it's the feeling of being the only one to be like this, isn't it. Don't forget to check out my books too ;) amzn.to/3paQsmz
Here also, everything you said resonates a lot. It feels good knowing we aren't a few!
Being more intelligent than 98% of the population but not intelligent enough to do something extraordinally profound is such a depressing and isolating experience.
I am struggling with finding someone to talk to about this without them rolling their eyes thinking I'm trying to "brag" about certain things. For instance the way people act without thinking or acknowledging their own behaviours as they react to things. Also, I have struggled with anxiety and don't enjoy large groups of people as I feel drained by social interactions. I can really relate to what you talked about in this video. Thank you!
I have a question of what do you even want to talk about? If you are smarter than an average person, is there anything of value an average person can offer? You should be able to answer your own questions in your head much faster than formulating them verbally and then waiting for the reply of a person who would probably give you a worse answer. I know I am making a lot of assumptions here, so please answer the question in an open-ended fashion.
@@peezieforestem5078 I understand your question and will try to answer. It is not really to do with questions that needs to be answered and more about wanting (sometimes) to discuss a topic and feel understood. Perhaps it is about me feeling lonely, perhaps it is my bruised ego telling me I'm different when I see or hear people judging me for "overcomplicating things" or simply "acting like I know stuff ."
Also, there is danger I think in staying in your own echo chamber never bothering with the ideas of others, good or bad. So I don't believe that there isn't value in "average ideas."
But it is a complicated question. Do I need validation from my peers? I don't know that is the case. I think it has more to do with wanting a "release." To be able to just speak to someone and have it returned unfiltered from biases and scoff. Don't know if you got a satisfying answer here but at least it's something.
@@jesperjee The answer is not really satisfying, but I think I got the gist. Would it be fair to say you have more of an emotional need to have someone who will understand you?
@@peezieforestem5078 I don't know. I am not usually bothered by it. It's not so much of a need really, I don't need to talk to anyone really. It's just that I often get disappointed when I do. And because I often look inward when I get these feelings, probably to try and humble myself and not be so arrogant, I think I am the problem and not everybody else. I.e I feel "not normal" and sometimes that bothers me. Why I care I do not know.
