Serious Cutoff for Genius IQ should be either 160 or 170, NOT 140

I've been thinking about it for a while, and I think that the amount of people with IQs of 140-150 are WAY too common to warrant genius classification

I feel like a lot of niggas lie about their iq being that high or they take one of those random iq test online and just run with that (at least I hope they're lying lol)

What you'll find is that there are many intelligent people, but genius is exceptionally rare, and it's not simply a category label at some arbitrary cutoff point.

It's like Schopenhauer said, "talent hits a target no one else can hit; genius hits a target no one else can see." We many have many talented people among us (!) in the general population, but genius is truly unique.

IQ three standard deviations above the mean (145)

Is about 1 in 741, which is pretty common

Genius should be, at MINIMUM, 1 in 10,000

I agree. The geniuses of old lumped 140-150 IQ people with people in the mid 120s-130s and they esentially viewed them as midwits. From my time assessing people in the 140s-150s, I don't think they're that much more intelligent than people 20 or so IQ points lower.

In my opinion,

IQ 100-115 average

IQ 115-130 above average

IQ 130-160 smart

IQ 160+ genius

You will probably find at least one person with an IQ above 140 in a normal high school in the West

So pretty common

IQ 115-130 above average

I'm definitely somewhere here, I can FEEL it.

 

[orgcel]

over for me
my wpm is higher than my iq

 

[Horatio NiggER bird]

IQs between 50-150 is within the biologically normal human range

Supermutant geniuses should have MUCH higher IQs

Me too

Not much cognitive difference in the 130-160 range

Although I would argue 120s is midwit while 130-160 is moderately smart

I'm ok with being a

Spoiler: Subgenius

To geniuses, sub 160 is midwit tier.

To geniuses, sub 160 is midwit tier.

you are acting as if intelligence should be normed to the standards of 160-170+ IQ supergeniuses

obviously, 130-160 IQ is gifted range

After testing scored his IQ at 167, he skipped the sixth grade. Kaczynski later described this as a pivotal event: previously he had socialized with his peers and was even seen as a leader, but after skipping ahead of them he felt he did not fit in with the older children, who bullied him.
