If your so smart then why dont you realize that by putting in a bit of effort in school your whole life will be much easier? 😕
Also depends on "easier". I had a friend who was valedictorian, and she went to a great school, still very self critical.
Success doesn't equal easy.
No different than a person who's gorgeous but thinks they're ugly.

Exactly.I know someone who is really academically smart, but as them about what's going on in Iraq, New Orleans or anywhere just outside of London and they're at a loss.

I think it should be "aptitude" an AQ test sounds more reasonable.

No offense friend but 72....and 720........that's just well.....it could be more....

72 in IQ test...where hundred should be the average while, at least in European tests 150 is like one in every million.......but IQ tests got watered down in the last view years...so people now actually there are people that score above 200 whilst that should be rather impossible since that would probably be one in every trillion people and therefore most unlikely.......by real IQ tests the smartest people John Stuart Mill, Stanislav Lem, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, etc would probably score between 160 - 170

140 was genius, and I got above that on the current one, easy.
Einstein was 180 I think.
Originally posted by Tha C-MasterYou see that'S where there are differences I have heard it up top 210.....180 althoguh if you go by the test which should show you how likely someone with that intelligence should occur is still so unlikely that you can't really say there ever was one yet....or even two..........oh and by IQ tests Einstein probably wouldn't be the number one...sure he is great...a genius in his field...but he is just not as versatile....

Exactly, there are many fields.I however had heard of Mill, wasn't he the person that they couldn't test he was so smart?
I don't heard that story...a problem of testing mill though could have been that he was born 100 years before there was the first IQ test....
He though probably was the ost intelligent person (aybe there were others but whom we know of) by IQ standards...a great thinker too....
