I’ve noticed a disturbing trend recently, and it’s really starting to get on my nerves. Seems that folks are so proud of their high IQ’s that they feel compelled to post the numbers as some sort of self-effectuating monument to their superiority. That’s all it boils down to… superiority.<\/p>\n
They might just as well whip out their cocks and lay them down on the table side-by-side, and get it over with. The funny thing is, they are the only ones whipping out said cock, and in the absence of any other contestants are proclaiming themselves the winners.<\/p>\n
It’s evidence of a special kind of arrogance. In an "I’m bettr’n you and feel compelled to prove it. See? I have the paper and all<\/i>" sorta’ way. Arrogance has its time and place, and trust me, there are much<\/i> better ways to go about it. Proclamations of a high IQ, followed by an actual number as though your audience much cares, are the shallowest and least effective means.<\/p>\n
The grandest flaw in waving your IQ card under people’s noses is the IQ test itself and what it represents. First, the test is usually administered when we are young, most commonly just before entering high school. It is a means to rapidly categorize children into groups and cattle-drive them into the schools and programs that will benefit them the most (for expanded info, read this short yet concise article HERE<\/b><\/a>). It is frequently used as a qualifier for private schools. It does not take into consideration experience and knowledge over time, it’s merely a measure of how well you take tests.<\/p>\n Guess what? You can jockey a #2 pencil like nobody’s business. Congratulations, you’re a number on a page \u2014 part of a formula to find the right pigeonhole to stuff you into.<\/p>\n
