Fuck yeah, OP. I graduated from West Point with a degree in systems engineering. Following that I was an Army Infantry Officer. Currently I am the systems engineering manager for Customs and Trade Compliance for one of the top ten largest importers into the US. I constantly have to play down my intelligence unless I have to flex on some retard liberals.
You are so worthy of this thread merely by your presence. I have a theory that there is a certain minimum IQ and/or ability to logic which is needed to break away from the trillion dollar propaganda and brainwashing we are subject to daily. That minimum threshold is so much higher than the average person in our society.
When I was in 7th grade, the school didn’t have anyone to send to an Algebra 2 test/regional competition. Despite never having taken the course, I won this part of the state and beat about 30 other older kids that had taken it.
A few months ago it seemed like almost everyone on here was pretty sharp. This site has become more mainstream in the past month or so.
When I was a kid working side by side with a hoity toity engineer on racecars, I'd make him mad all the time finding his answers before he did. Dude dubbed me "the empirical wizard" as while he did math, I stood there and waved my arms around. Was 16. Dude was making force vector diagrams and doing calculus for the simplest of things.
Don't mean nothing, but always makes me chuckle to remember.
I am literally a member of Mensa, although I never mention that fact to anyone in real life unless they ask. Scored in the 99th percentile on most standardized tests (SAT, GRE, etc.) for as long as I can remember. I also have both a bachelors and masters degree in electrical engineering, and am fluent in four languages and semi-competent in a fifth.
Funny thing is, I am actually a woman and I am not offended by that. ? It probably helps that I am not a humorless, deranged leftist who somehow manages to find something to be outraged about every waking hour of their lives.
When I was a kid, I thought everyone else was crazy for thinking the water level on Zelda was difficult. That shit was my favorite because it actually had some challenge to it, and it actually turns out to be pretty simple.
Sounds dumb but I have friends who still talk about literally never making it past that level.
I agree, Majora's Mask was better and way underrated. Resetting time felt like the replay value, but with more purpose each time. I liked the mood of it too. Playing as a Goron and Zora too. It felt like there was much more hidden stuff to find.
When I was young, I found that generally available IQ tests were inadequate. Every test has a range, and accuracy decreases as you approach either end of that range. If someone tests extremely high on a typical test, they should be given a more difficult test with a higher ceiling to get a meaningful result. Ron Hoeflin made such high-ceiling tests, although they are inherently difficult to norm because the elligible population is vanishingly small.
Decades ago, I was tinkering with Ron Hoeflin's "Mega Test", and though I never sought official scoring, I used it to estimate my IQ (using a 16-point sigma) at around 176 at the time, which has a rarity of about 1 in 1,000,000 people. A few years ago I used Hoeflin's "Titan Test" similarly, and my estimate then was around 172, if I recall correctly, which is about 1 in 300,000 people. The ravages of age have since, I suspect, ruined me. It is harder to concentrate on anything for very long now. My laser-like focus is gone. I feel muddled, and painfully aware of what I have lost.
As for feats of intellect from my past, I will have to keep them to myself. I have a personal policy of not saying anything that could be used to narrow down my identity. They're nothing too impressive though, so you're not missing much. It would be hard to find another person who did so little with so much.

Touché. I agree. Well stated pede
Keep on flexin’ juicemoney!!!!!
Dude you’re fucking filled with BIG DICK ENERGY

Professionals.....meh. It's been a theme.

I'd insert a WOMensa joke here, but that would piss off all the WOmenstruating people in it.

Funnier thing is, I am also a woman. Kek!
