He’s also “good at Diablo” or whatever it was. And “really smart about business.” And “really smart about rockets.” And blah blah blah. It’s all bullshit. Just listen to him. He can barely form coherent sentences.
I find it hard to believe someone can recognize patterns well enough to do well on an IQ test could also be so stupid as to not realize everyone hates him and just wants his money.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s actually just kind of dumb, but humans are really bad at recognizing patterns relating to ourselves. There’s a reason therapists see other therapists, for example.
Anyone that cares about an IQ result is a permanent clown that deserves to be laughed at until they’re dust
When I was a kid I took a two-page IQ test in a Reader’s Digest and I got 125. It meant a lot to me.
Me too! I got 128 and it defined me for a long time. I’m more iq’d than you. Yesss, here’s my time to shine again, finally
Same! I still have the certificate!
(Although I would have got 129 if my sister, who couldn’t spell, kept insisting that “than” is spelt “then” and wouldn’t stop bugging me throughout the whole test until I changed it, even though I knew she was wrong. Yes I am still bitter about it today.)
I lack real world intelligence, so bog all use that test was.
As someone with a higher and more officialler result than you IDIOTS I can assure you that I am also an idiot.
I took a IQ test online it said I Genius.
the only thing it measures is how good you are at taking an IQ test
The axis need to be swapped.
Yup. You can practice for it like any other test. There’s no way to score human intelligence, except anyone who talks about having high IQ, then you know they are unintelligent.
the punchline is that if you pay for the iq test you are instantly considered stupid and if you bribe the iq test you get a high score. everyone in between won’t pay for an iq test
The moment you pay for an IQ test - you failed it
tbf, i paid for an IQ test because i needed the results to prove i’m capable of understanding my own gender in court. Pretty whack but i heard recently the laws in my country changed so i hope younger trans people won’t have to go through that humiliation
I think the same thing applies to Mensa. If you’re paying to join the “smart people club”, how smart are you really?
My local Mensa hosts a lot of fun events, the cost is minimal, and it replaces a social vacuum left by religious activities for me. A wide variety of people, most very nice, almost all pretty interesting. Also a pretty insular group of folks that doesn’t really ruffle any feathers, so I’ve always been a little unsure why Mensa gets such hate online.
Because it gives off a bit of an elitist vibe to require an IQ test for entry.

IQ also has other use cases
I bet his test results are a different scale, like imperial, but converted to normal metric standards he scores below average. Everything he says and does shows he really wants people to believe he’s smart and he’s willing to lie as much as needed to make people believe him, but he never actually shows anything of actual intelligence. On the contrary really.
Musk never outgrew 8th grade.
He’s still in there, day in and day out, doing everything he can think of to try to get the other kids to think he’s cool, and still just making himself look like that much more of a creepy, pathetic douchebag.
It’s very likely, tho honestly even if he had an iq of 300 i wouldn’t care if things he says will remain bullshit.
And who’s saying he’s got a high IQ? Presumably it’s just him saying he does, and he lies about everything else.
