  • I just found this video by him.

    It perfectly encapsulates what I’m talking about, when I say motivation is a part of intelligence. A raw IQ of 150 is functionally useless, and letting that potential go to waste is… really dumb.

    This guy Mark, is motivated to attain gainful employment so he can sustain himself, and is trying to improve his intellect in the meanwhile, which demonstrates a intuitive wisdom most people lack.

    For what it’s worth, free IQ tests are notoriously bad for evaluating general intellectual capacity, and tend to evaluate visual pattern recognition.

    On top of that, you can learn how IQ tests are evaluated and score higher on them in a matter of seconds.

    For example:

    The answers are in the diagonals.

    For this example, on the diagonals are the number of dots.

    For this example, on the diagonals are the arrow directions.

    Having this knowledge can easily boost your IQ score by 10.

    In any case, intellect has many different facets; memory retention, memory recall speed, emotional intelligence, motivation, visual/spacial, verbal, etc.

    There are people who are Mensa certified geniuses who can’t hold a conversation to save their lives, or boast to others about their score, which is… really dumb.
