“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.”
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 :)

I do have to comment on the dichotomy here, FC. You use a measurement of intelligence to demonstrate that your grey matter isn’t looney; then you discount anyone with a measurement higher than your own as capable of committing “magnified error.” Struck me as funny. I’m happy for you that your measurement is just right. Goldilocks would be right at home.
