You can still be well above 130 and not be in the genious range.
The only people I get the impression of "genious" level intelligence would be those I would rank at like 160 levels
- naveen99 8y agothat’s a tautology.
- coldtea 8y agoAny valid logical sentence is a tautology.
- naveen99 8y agoI guess I meant circular reasoning. https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/questions/34409/difference-between-tautology-and-circular-reasoning https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/questions/34409/differe...
- coldtea 8y agoI'll get needlessly pedantic here, but I think it's more of re-iteration (with different words). It would be circular reasoning only if the parent attempted to pin "being a genius" to having an > 160 IQ. Instead, he said that he's only seen someone he'd classify as a genius when they had IQ >= 160 -- which is not circular. It's just using that observation as a supporting argument, without having established what a genius is first.
- naveen99 8y agoI see. Ok. I withdraw my accusation then.
- erikpukinskis 8y agoThat’s not what I learned tautology means. the saying of the same thing twice over in different words, generally considered to be a fault of style (e.g. they arrived one after the other in succession ). What’s your definition?
- rubber_duck 8y agoHow's that a tautology ? I've worked with two people who are way faster than me mentally - just raw intelligence when problem solving - and I know one was ~160 range (or so they told me at least). And even textbook definition of genius starts at like 140-145. Having tested in that range and working with people who have - I'm noticably faster than most people at analytical stuff/learning - it's not a groundbreaking difference between from someone at 120 - but those 160 people I mentioned - I can't even keep up mentally without pausing - good luck if you're 100 range. So that would be true genius in my view, 140 is like noticably intelligent, 120 is standard in professions that select for intelligence.
- naveen99 8y agoyour impression and your rank are the same thing stated two different ways.
