Well, I can tell you this... I did tests long time ago and since the test I got many contacts around since my IQ is extremely high. I don't socialize with people I had only few people with who I have spended some longer time and I have noticed since the begining of our friendship untill now their way of thinking extremely changed. Sometimes I even don't like this... I feel like a battery which is charging others for nothing.

  False! Source: When I was in high school, I got a look at my permanent record. I had a measured IQ of 150 in the 4th grade and 138 in the 6th. Extending the plot out to infinity, I should be well into the negative numbers now.

    Using two data points to fit a curve is indeed not very intelligent. ;)

      I'm using the assumption that intelligence is a linear relationship to the quantity of intellectual phlogiston in the skull.

    Suppose an environment e.g. stimuli/education was difficulty adjusted as you went up a grade so you were always on the very bleeding edge of your cognitive abilities. You'd throw out the entire education system in order to do that, but would it mean that children would have higher IQ as adults? tldr; if by modern standards we were cruel to children could we maintain high IQ levels? I'm reminded of Dr Spock as a child in the 'education pits' in that new Star Trek movie ;-)

Well at least you have some friends that would take your teachings and run with it I on the other hand had lost contact with all the friends that would do that for various reasons. Now I'm surrounded by people stuck in their ways that ignore everything that challenges their view and I have to say that is even more frustrating. Sigh... I need surround myself with more interesting people.
