A casual magazine report that Fern Britton, the TV presenter, took an IQ test and joined MENSA but hubby did not pass and the report says it sort of contributed to ending the marriage..
Does it matter who is the most intelligent.. ?
Not to Tom and common sense is as good a marker as any IQ test |

Isn't it more what you do with that intelligence? Known some real "smart arses" and the title explains what they really were. Yet met others who don't claim to most intelligent person in the world but have been some of nicest people have met.
Consider myself more knowledgeable which I think is much better than just being intelligent  |

I think to have a comfortable relationship there needs to be a similar level, I don't mind not being as bright as a partner but that would make them a genius. |

It mattered to my husband; he told me I needed someone intelligent.
He wasn't able to take responsibility for his dislike of me, so blamed me, for making him feel inferior to him.
I kept telling him I just had a good memory. |

Smart people are so bloody infuriatingly stupid.
Just stand there and let them fuck it up themselves they're so fucking smart.

This is the difficulty. How do you measure it? I dated someone who was incredibly well qualified and got onto an exclusive graduate scheme and I was somewhat in awe of his intelligence but I've also dated people with only high school education who were also fountains of knowledge and I could have incredibly stimulating, thought provoking conversations with. One ex was studying for his masters but I never had that with him and found him to be quite ignorant in many areas. |

This. The number of people who think they’re smart because they have a degree. Then you find out it’s in some bs thing like ancient pottery or whatever |

Intelligence is subjective. While I enjoy a lot talking to Men and Women who are Intelligent. However, sometimes went you talk to someone who is more intelligent or not as intelligent. You or other person depending on impressions. Makes a judgement on that person. Which socially outcast from true engagement.
Is well-known in psychological circles. That each different person depending whether they’re an introvert or an extrovert. Has different levels of engagement depending on how open or close the person is. Or judgement on body language.
Difference with academical intelligence and people intelligence on conduct, politeness and graces are also noticeable.
Just my opinion. I love talking to anyone regardless of Intellectual or background. |

It depends really. In no way do I mind having a partner smarter than I am as long she isn't condescending about it. Also, there's always something you know more than someone else so it evens out somewhere  |

Colour me cynical ... But person when a person seperstes and marries in the same year (as the mirror article suggests) I'm not sure that it was a mensa test that was the cause.
(Unless it was the deceit in doing the test in secret)
Having not done a mensa test, does it normally take all day ?
Ps stuff about correlation and causation and anecdotal evidence.
PPS science type. |

Tom is well schooled and knows his onions.. he is well read and had he gone to university would have been a Professor or better . Some of these so called upstarts, and especially in science at a low level inflate themselves |

A psychologist for NASA I once ended up sat next to on a trans-Atlantic flight assured me:
The actual only thing having a high IQ via Mensa score proves is that person is adept at scoring a high IQ result on a Mensa test.

"Many of these so called educated types have little common sense.. "
Life experience intelligence counts a lot more then academic intelligence. Having a balance of both is great. Generational leaps have dulled common sense. But is doesn’t define a person.
Is a broad subject topic that can go into different elements. End of the day you know who you like and who you don’t like regardless of their gender. Or intellectual integrity. |

These IQ tests, where 100 is supposed to be average, only test a small area of what is classed today as human intelligence. It's not about IQ vs EQ either.
IQ results have been proved time and time again to of little worth, largely by the kind of people who get high results. Remember George W Bush (who scored 125 compared to the US average of 98)? The guy who thought Africa was a country and that Greeks were called Grecians? And routinely made comments like,
• “You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.”
• "we ought to make the pie higher"
• “One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures.”
• "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."
• "See, free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction!"
• "You work three jobs? ... Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that."
• "The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur."
• "Will the highways on the Internet become more few?"
• "You wake up at the high school level and find out that the illiteracy level of our children are appalling." etc
They made a flip-up calender of 365 of them, I think when he was still in office. Bush possibly blundered almost as much as Trump told lies (and Trump claims an IQ of 156, yet wants to arm teachers, of all human people, to help keep negative issues related to gun access out of schools!) They counted over 2000 clear canards by Trump apparently, again I think while he was still in office.
IQ results are likely never used to look for employees in any capacity. And even in somewhere like rocket science, where you might be somewhat interested in a stupendous one (they can go well over 200), they'd be made entirely irrelevant by other certifications.
If my partner wanted to frequent those gruesome 'mensa meets' it would certainly put a fork up my relationship too. --pt |

Nothing is more irksome to me than statements like this, or the idea that people are “book-smart vs lifes-smart”. The human mind is not so black and white, no matter how many “people I know…”  |

I was seeing a GP for a while who kept asking me questions about male sexual stuff.
Either he was too lazy to Google, or he got off hearing about me talking about other men |

Completely agree. The human mind is not so black and white. Worked and known people with learning disabilities who haven’t had the sort of experiences that most of us take for granted. Yet are incredibly creative and intelligent in various ways.
As a child I was unable to speak or form coherent sentences when talking to people without stuttering incomprehensibly. Most of my education has been self learned as I left school at 14 years old with no grades what so ever. I worked for my father and travelled around Europe with my brother.
Individualistic journeys define a persons character and the human mind. |

What makes someone more intelligent than another?
Two different tests may reveal very different results.
Any tests that I've encountered are always weighted, so don't really demonstrate a true scale of intellectual ability. |

I'm inclined to think that what's most important in intelligence and knowledge is self improvement. And collaboration, particularly in a relationship.
I've got fairly little time for snobbery, inverse or otherwise. |

Almost as bad as "I did my own research" which generally means watching someone else's, badly made, non peer reviewed, conspiracy theory laden shitty YouTube videos.

We don't understand intelligence that well and are very limited in how we try to measure it, partly because of this. IQ tests were based on faked research results and are central to our poor system.
I like the right balance oveeall between me and a partner. This will include some similarities and not too great a drop in cognitive abilities. I have some big deficits and appreciate someone brighter. Too big a gap and I may not fulfill them enough. |

What system is that Tom? The one where my father didn't want me to sit GCSE's get married ASAP and help with the family business?
Or maybe the system that told me a couple of weeks before sitting said GCSE's that I'd fail them and should consider a secretary course? You know the system that measures intelligence in a narrow way that didn't account for neurodivergence?
Or are you making a heck of a lot of assumptions based on my educational levels? Which to me suggests a lack of what do you call it? Oh yeah common sense |
