I have a relatively high IQ. Its easy to get trapped by societal constraints and quote on quote "degrees".

(quote / unquote)

which is redundant since you put the quotation marks anyway just sayin

Better yet, become a member of Mensa. Casually mention this whenever you meet someone new. It may not seem like it, but people will be very impressed!

I should know, since I am a member of Mensa.

Here's another tip for the budget-conscious. Just take the "Are You a Genius?" test from an old Reader's Digest and casually work the results into conversations. It is basically the same as an IQ/Mensa test. People may outwardly laugh, but on the inside they will be impressed!

Do those facebook tests count?

Only if you print the result out, you can't just show them the image on your phone. It also has to say "Genius", as lower results aren't as impressive. #TopTipz4Teenz

And yet you still don’t understand that it’s grammatically incorrect to end a sentence with a preposition.

That’s because ‘grammar’ is a liberal art. As are, ironically, the two ‘professions’ listed in his bio, rhetoric (“radio host”) and philosophy ... #Can’tMakeThisUp

Pro Tip: Don’t go on any zeppelin rides with Molyneux. “Oh, the humanities!”

My boyfriends father is in Mensa, & says he and other members usually hide their membership/IQ from prospective employers since it’s often seen as intimidating. I’ve also heard the same from (non-STEM) PhDs who try to work in the private sector, they’re seeen as “overqualified.”

IQ is just a number. It's not worth much if you can't apply it to real world problems and you have to get along with people to do that. My advice? Build relationships and if you're as smart as you think you are, people will figure that out.

IQ is actually a great predictor of success, it’s not the number that matters, but rather what the number represents.

IQ is absolutely not a great predictor for success. Terman’s students didn’t do any better than a random sample of children w similar family backgrounds. IQ tests simply show you’ve prepared for a single kind of test.
