    I do believe them when they say that they’re totally self educated.

    The other thing about being self educated is that they probably didn’t get their IQ measured by any sort of formal test. And informal tests usually top out in the range of 140 to 150.

    That means that it’s less likely that they’re flat out lying. It’s more likely that they either have a high IQ or they cheated on the test by taking it repeatedly to get the best score.

    “But,” I can hear you object, “there’s no way that this idiot has a high IQ.” Believe me, there are plenty of people with high IQs who are also idiots.

    I can mentally calculate how many points of material I just lost by hanging my queen while playing Martin on chess.com
