135, eh? Good for you. Maybe next year you’ll beat me. :-P
Come now, FC. I’d be willing to venture a guess that the vast majority of FReepers are significantly above average intelligence.
I wasn't going to say anything, i didn't want to embarass anybody. Besides, I find when I tell people my IQ, it chills the conversation. So don't ask, I don't want to tell, but it is higher than 135.

I understand; you tell people the number, and they look at you differently. I don’t like that.
Although, in your case, DU, I suspect they already look at you differently, but for entirely other reasons. :-)

I meant to include you in the post #1763, but I did not, I apologize.

As discussed with Tantiboth, high IQ leads to magnified insight, and magnified error. That’s why it can be a poor predictor of the truth. I met some brilliant people at Stanford who I wouldn’t trust to tie my shoelaces. And I have met you :)
