Superior Intelligence and it's implications and applications - General

Hey guys, I'm new here and I thought I'd greet myself with this topic. First, I will start off with the statement that made me post this in this particular forum... "I am the smartest guy I have ever met." How's that for controversial? The problem is, most of the people who know me believe i, too. I literally seem to absorb information. I also have, what I would consider to be, an obsessive compulsive disorder. When I become interested in a subject I find it difficult to exercise moderation. I became interested in photography about a year ago after my daughter was born. I just wanted to take better quality photos. I have now worked with 3 of the premier professionals in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area and when I talk to them, I realize I know more about the technical aspects than they do. I was a Navy Nuke and scored at the top of my class in what is said to be the third toughest school in the world. I met Mensa's guidelines but never bothered to join. The last time I took a formal IQ test, I scored a 163. I say all that to solicit advice and try to give background info that will make that advice applicable. Honestly, I can't explain it. I just seem to absorb information. Some of it is from my studies in speed reading. Some of it just came natural. Some of it came from reading 10's of thousands of books. In any case, I am at a crossroads in my life. Currently, I am a Chief Engineer working on a critical facility for one of the Fortune 50 companies in the world. I am well paid, I work with a great team, and I like my job...but I am bored. I see a thousand things we could do different but am met with the inevitable obstacle of that's how we always did it. So, finally to my point, what do you do, if you are the smartest person in the room, bored, and don't have the authority to change things? Are there any auditions out there? How do you become part of a think tank? How do you cut through the red tape and the egos in order to get to a point where you are actually making a difference instead of just adhering to idiotic policy that was put in place for no logical reason? How do you get past the obstacles that are in your way just because you may be younger or different? How do you find a company that is actually looking for excellence and do you know of any interviews or auditions where somebody could prove their skills?

I guess you're not smart enough to think of a solution.

I'd say it's about time you get to solving that whole world peace problem we've been having for the last little while.

how are you married, yet still this arrogant about yourself, hell you said you have kids! talk about ego trip 2011

[QUOTE=lockdown6;28887983]"Look at me, I think I have OCD when I really don't and I actually think IQ means shit! I also think I'm one of the smartest people in the world, and better than everyone else! Give me ideas on what to do with my limitless intellect."[/QUOTE] I'll hold your hand and bring you through a few intellectual steps. IQ is a measure of a person's analytic ability, which is simply their ability to recognize patterns and find simplicity in complexity. Having a high IQ allows me to break down and understand information that most others could not, hence the value of an IQ score, making it a valid way to describe how I am better than you.

if only op could analyze up some friends lol

Become a serial-killer who leaves taunting messages and clues that hint at your next murder at the scene of the crime.

if you are so quick at discovering patterns and breaking down information, how come you haven't discovered and broken down how annoying you are heh heh

[QUOTE=thisispain;28888182]if you are so quick at discovering patterns and breaking down information, how come you haven't discovered and broken down how annoying you are heh heh[/QUOTE] only applies to patterns, a single thing occurring constantly isn't a pattern

[QUOTE=Zeke129;28888191]only applies to patterns, a single thing occurring constantly isn't a pattern[/QUOTE] are you saying a drum beat isn't a pattern

All that IQ and you still cant make threads for shit

[QUOTE=thisispain;28888182]if you are so quick at discovering patterns and breaking down information, how come you haven't discovered and broken down how annoying you are heh heh[/QUOTE] I have yet to discover my being annoying, but have certainly noticed the insecurity and envy of others.

[QUOTE=HermanAdjei;28888213]I have yet to discover my being annoying, but have certainly noticed the insecurity and envy of others.[/QUOTE] i'm envious of your ability to annoy others people just love me and it makes IRL trolling very very hard i'll like give them sarcastic advice and they'll be like "thank you so much for helping me" and i'll be like "wait bitch that was a joke come back"

intelligence is nothing without creativity

[QUOTE=HermanAdjei;28887942]How do you get past the obstacles that are in your way just because you may be younger or different? [/QUOTE] Grow older.

[QUOTE=thisispain;28888194]are you saying a drum beat isn't a pattern[/QUOTE] A drum beat is a noise that alternates between occurring and not occurring It's a pattern Something like the hum coming from your PC fans isn't a pattern

[QUOTE=dude2193;28888225]intelligence is nothing without creativity[/QUOTE] he's obviously very creative i mean he can make his sentences a lot longer and less legible than they need to be so that he looks smarter, that takes creativity right

Also, you're not the smartest guy you've met until you've beaten Zeke in an argument.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;28888231] Something like the hum coming from your PC fans isn't a pattern[/QUOTE] well the hum isn't constant [img]http://w5jgv.com/1665tx/untuned_waveform.jpg[/img] see

[QUOTE=thisispain;28888222]i'm envious of your ability to annoy others people just love me and it makes IRL trolling very very hard i'll like give them sarcastic advice and they'll be like "thank you so much for helping me" and i'll be like "wait bitch that was a joke come back"[/QUOTE] I'm not very surprised that the implicit aspects of my post had made their way over your head.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;28888231] Something like the hum coming from your PC fans isn't a pattern[/QUOTE] I think it is because the motor is being polled 50 or 60 (depending on your location) times per second.

[QUOTE=Eluveitie;28888245]Also, you're not the smartest guy you've met until you've beaten Zeke in an argument.[/QUOTE] You're not the smartest guy you've met if you think you're the smartest guy you've met. Because if you think you're the smartest guy you've met that means you think "smartness" is an objective value that can be easily measured, and if you think that [I]you are fucking brick stupid.[/I]

[QUOTE=HermanAdjei;28888260]I'm not very surprised that the implicit aspects of my post had made their way over your head.[/QUOTE] well i was surprised as fuck they like flew over my head and i was like wow what the fuck was that dude then i fell over my chair now i have bruises

IQ is meaningless, and you're a tool if you think otherwise. By the way, to everyone except OP, I am well aware that IQ is a completely meaningless measurement. I'm just trying to prove a point to the pseudointellectual with the superiority complex.
