This smug PhD was served a slice of humble pie when she shamed an "uneducated" Marine in this IQ experiment

It's always nice to see smug people get a slice of humble pie, isn't it?

This is a few years old, but it went viral again over the weekend and it's a great laugh/lesson:

1 minute video at link...........

The smug PhD was SO sure of herself!

"Two, me. I don't know! PhD, cancer biology, scientist, I work in a biotech company, we make Covid-19 testing kits, stuff like that!"

Credentials ≠ intelligence!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She was last!.......................

A STEM Ph.D. with a 112 IQ seems low. A high school grad with a 130+ and no further educational attainment isn't particularly unusual, but not typical.

She had a pretty low IQ for a PhD.

Fun video. But given that it originally came from TikTok, there’s a decent chance it’s faked.

The video is useless. the background noise is louder than the voices.

The blonde girl and the Marine should have children.

Yet another example of PhD real meaning:

Piled
Higher &
Deeper

Reminds me of the PhD anthropologist who stated we cannot determine the sex of skeletons we excavate. Woke science is broke science.

She should have known her IQ was where it was. Anyone in her position would have taken several IQ tests and know she was middling. I remember back in prep school my guidance counselor was surprised at my test scores on the PSAT. He had been suggesting uber liberal mid-tier Antioch College to me, not figuring out that I was anti-school in general but not in a lefty sort of way. I wound up doing my own guidance counseling. I must have sized myself up pretty well as I was wait-listed for my top two choices before getting accepted to both.

My 5th grade science teacher had a skeleton hanging in his classroom, George. One of his students suggested that the skeleton was likely female due to the pelvis. Mr. Paul agreed, so George became Georgette. Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

IQ in relation to intelligence is comparable to measuring someone’s athletic ability by how fast they can run the 100 yard dash. While speed is important in many athletic fields, there are other intangibles that can’t be measured in the 100 yard dash if we were to take that as a measure of overall athletic ability. In other words I think IQ only measures certain facets of intellectual ability and doesn’t give the complete picture. (not sour grapes on my part, I scored 137 on an IQ test just trying to keep things in perspective). I think there’s a ‘sweet spot’ as far as IQ is concerned, probably around 125 or so. After that the negatives start overriding the positives as far as social and intellectual achievement is concerned.

Never seen that before...so...if I understand correctly:

The first part of it was her ranking people on how smart she thought they were, she ranked herself the second smartest person in the group, and the Marine she rated as least smartest. After all talking about ranking herself: "Two, me. I don't know! PhD, cancer biology, scientist, I work in a biotech company, we make Covid-19 testing kits, stuff like that!"

What she didn't have the guts to say was what people like her commonly think: "Well, I rate you last, because you are in the military, most especially, in the Marines. You couldn't make it in the outside world with civilians, so you have to be in the Marines where all your basic needs are spoon-fed to you, and you only do what you are told to do."

This is common, and well illustrated in one of my favorite books "Once An Eagle" by Anton Myrer, where this contempt by civilians for military personnel is well described. To them, military people just aren't "smart" like them.

Then, they took an IQ test, and she (!) came in second to last, and the Marine came in third...:)

Love it. Just love it. Me? When I am hiring, and someone tells me they have served in the military, they get a leg up right then and there in the interview. Doesn't mean I'll hire them or recommend hiring them, but I have a favorable leap in perception.

They know how to accept responsibility. They know how to get things done. They know how to make decisions. They understand communication in a chain of command. And often, they know how to lead.

Yeah. I'll take the Marine any day over one of those woke, pathetic, self-centered children.

Wow! What a strange coincidence.

A previous comment by me:
I have some new frightening information on the newest nasal swab covid test that affected me so horribly. It is composed of nanofibers epoxy bonded to a stick and capped off with a cleaning treatment of Ethylene Oxide which is a known carcinogen. The fact this crap was ran on me without my knowledge so infuriates me. If I get cancer in the next year I will know why. This needs an investigation. Let’s try to save some veterans instead of killing them off. .https://www.chemistryviews.org/details/video/11310825/What_Are_Swabs_for_Coronavirus_Tests_Made_of/

I went to Engineering Tech school with a HS dropout. He dropped out as a sophomore, got married and drove hay truck for a living until he got in a bas accident. Kid was absolute genius although one look at him would give you a different impression. He went all the way through college with a basic solar calculator while most of were using HP 48’s.

He dropped out because he was completed bored and felt like he was being talked down to by the teachers. His dad had a PHD in underwater electro-mechanical propulsion systems from MIT.
