Who the heck cares about folks posting inflated scores????? If it makes a person's life richer by posting an inflated IQ score, so be it. Life's a beach, get used to the sand.
I don't care, but that has nothing to do with saying I don't believe it.
I don't understand how so many people know their IQs. I don't think I was given any test in school, and I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to take one. Do people actually pay to go somewhere and take an IQ test??
I took two different tests during MEd courses in educational psychology.
The scores most of these bozos claim are amusing (and quite fictional). Correlates with all the gifted children of C-D participants.
I was tested back in middle school and maybe even high school (back in the Stone Age of the 1960s) but nobody ever told me what my score was, and I never cared to find out. IQ is just a score a person gets on a test that purports to test "intelligence" by whatever measure the test maker(s) devised. Depending upon a lot of variables, including such important things as whether you'd rather be elsewhere doing something else or how badly you need to go to the bathroom, your score can vary on the same test if taken at different times.
Most people with a HIGH IQ are not going to spend time on a Internet forum.
EDIT: A person with above level IQ will not spend time on useless trivia as seen here many times.....as for me I'm on the admitted lower scale even with a degree.

Reason: Answer to a poster
I love taking tests and would also love toy take career aptitude tests to see what I should have spent my life doing ha (I'm retired). No one ever told me IQ results but being given a chocolate bar every time we took tests in school trained me like Pavlov's dog.
I was the "smart" one in my family and my brothers following me in a small Catholic school had the burden of being "Y's sister", later they both made higher annual salaries in their careers than I did and I got a college degree and they didn't. I've been above average but not genius all my life and know that working hard at something you love makes success not IQ. I am an artist and saw below average artists be more successful than talented artists, but talented artists can succeed too.
Talking with intelligent people is enjoyable because more topics are available to discuss. But the MENSA people I've met have been duds generally. My spouse took a year longer in HS and college to graduate and is very intelligent.
The world does not owe a high IQ anything although scholarships seem to be more available to them. I didn't get any scholarships except work-study" kind but taking CLEP tests saved me the expense of over a years tuition.

I don't think IQ has any thing correlated with hobbies.
It like saying person with a high IQ will not be into jogging, playing basketball and on internet forums.

What do you consider to be 'high'? My son has an 'above average' IQ and loves certain kinds of trivia, I think he sees it as junk food for the brain
Memorizing pi probably isn't very useful but he can spout out an amazingly long part of it, lol
