Smart Guys/Gals - People who try way too hard to look smart
The only new things I learned in this thread is that, apparently, I went through an IQ test when I was being assigned disability (no, I do not know results), which is kind of odd.
There is a definite trivia component but that's comparatively minor. Instead there are a series of different exercises, a decent number of them. It ranges from a basic mathematical test where you start at simple adding and subtracting, and keeps going until you stop. Language skills are tested using long lists of words, and yes, those words are pretty useless in of themselves. The list crops up a number of times and each time it's different, testing your ability to both remember verbal information and to change the way that information can be interpreted. Tests that cover related topics can be blended in together in order to examine your flexibility and ability to make connections. Some tests are administered in deliberately jarring order. It's not just on paper either, things like your ability to transfer three dimensional figures to two dimensions and vice versa, follow movement etc.
There's spatial reasoning tests, figure tests, word tests... an overall IQ number is pretty pointless, especially if you're looking at a twice exceptional, but a properly run test doesn't just tell you how smart or dumb you are, it also indicates things like how information in your head is taken, stored and organised. It's actually a very complicated process.
Articles on the "burden of being intelligent" are magnets for self-important twats like these. Maybe, just maybe, you're not unhappy because you're brilliant. You're unhappy because you're narcissistic and other people hate that.
This relates to someone's ability to read/write maps and blueprints. It's not something with a real world application in of itself, but trust me, this is actually shit that people use every day made into abstract forms.
Yes, the more you know, the more you realize you don't know. And the more aware you are, the more miserable you become.
I can't imagine these people are anywhere near as smart as they think they are, otherwise a mental illness (in which likelyhood increases with IQ) like depression would've caused them to have eaten a shotgun barrel.
These threads are great because of all the people powerlevelling like anyone here gives a fuck about their huge dick IQ score. Keen for the next halal from this thread.
most of the people I know who think they're smart are stupid as shit, most of the dumb people I know have suprisingly common moments of clarity talent and insight. If anyone feels the need to tell you they're smart they're most likley not or are so socially awkward that their intellegance is on niche subjects and they're genrally dumb.
I just took an IQ test guys and it specifically said I am smarter than everyone and you should all Paypal me all your savings as tribute to your intellectual superior.
So I expect to see $14 in my account by the end of today.
I am almost positive that the Smart Guys originated online from the 2009 Atheist era of tipping and fedoras. I could be wrong but didnt Dusty Smith coin the term "LOGIC" as a reference to how fucking smart Atheists are(they fucking arent)?
If I was a psychologist, I'd do research on people like Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye to pinpoint the exact moment when people like them crawl up their own asses.

I'll note that vanishingly few people maintain an active research career while also being competent in an administrative capacity. Neil is a good administrator with a near-godlike ability to charm wallets from the pockets of private donors. And he's lots of fun at parties.
That said there are a number of these types in academia too. If someone (at least in a social science) wants you to call them Dr. ___, or their degree starts with "applied" or "evolutionary", run far far away.
Neil Degrasse Tyson is a lot of fun, in an ironic fashion, until he resorts to using your political leanings as a straw man to devalue your understanding of science, after that point he's just a cunt.

Now it sounds like we are talking about D&D Intelligence vs Wisdom
Intelligence tells you that tomatoes are a fruit. Wisdom tells you that they wouldn't be very good in a fruit salad.
High intelligence, low wisdom: The stereotypical "mad scientist," he's got lots of brilliant ideas, but doesn't often stop to think whether implementing them would be a good idea. Tends to be oblivious (probably because he's focused on something he finds interesting.)
High wisdom, low intelligence: The simple, down to earth, but surprisingly insightful guy. He may see something that others don't but not realize its significance. May have trouble forming and/or articulating complex thoughts, and might resort to simple analogies to explain himself or what he's thinking.
That's for establishing visual patterns, I'm not so sure of the formal term for it. Part of it relates to spatial awareness (for example toddlers only develop spatial awareness after a certain time period and not when they're born)
Generally its aimed at establishing your ability to do the following (again I don't know the formal terms, but I've read about it a bit and because I'm supremely intelligent I threw away all of the formal words and only remembered the concepts):
Analyze/arrange visual things to establish patterns (visual intelligence)
Analyze a written problem like how long would 6 dragon dildos take to pack by 3 furries if 2 furries take a month to pack one (written intelligence/problem solving)
Analyze numbers to recognize patterns ("formula" intelligence I guess)
Analyze lists of words for commonalities/differences (verbal intelligence)
Answer "common knowledge" questions like what is the capital city of xyz (because remembering capital cities means you're really intelligent)
Some tests also include the examiner giving spoken problems because being able to remember a problem that is spoken rather than being able to just read it is a different part of da brain
A lot of the attempts to try and work with "abstract problem solving skills" seem like they're a bit outdated because the internet and computers mean that its not really a vital skill to be able to answer a lot of these questions when someone can get answers to things in 0.01 seconds and spend time on other problems.
