    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.

      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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Has anyone here actually had a real IQ test? They’re administered by psychologists and it takes like 2-3 days of different tests. No one doing any online test is doing a real IQ test. Not that they’re the end all be all for intelligence anyways.

      I took one as a kid, my parents had all of us tested. I was always told I was smart but they never told me the number. Just that “you can do anything you put your mind to”. I literally didn’t know I was taking an IQ test and have no memories of what it was like other than the person doing the test was a lady and she had me doing something with wooden blocks. This was all as a prerequisite to get into some gifted program. They lost my results for a bit so I didn’t get in until second grade (USA) so it had to be some time in first grade or before. I won’t spell out my life story here, so I’ll stop there. Anyway yeah that was my experience with it.

    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 mean for what its worth emotional intelligence (recognizing everyone hates you and just wants your money) is a whole different thing. That said, I’m pretty sure he’s just an idiot in general too. Maybe smarter than the average person, but certainly not three standard deviations smarter.
