Well the good answer is that this guy is a fraud and so, since you conveniently formulated the question as you did - not stating his IQ but just saying you'd have his IQ - one ought to come up with some sort of play on that. But I can't come up with anything on the spot right now.
So interpreting it as if "instantly know the info in 5 books", I'd probably go with some philosophy and physics tombs that are too cumbersome to read irl.
Like reading Kant without having to read Kant would probably be nice.

The dictionary, and then like 4 books on learning other languages (Spanish, German, French, Japanese)

This, but Kant is rookie tier, would go for Kirkegaard, Heidegger and maybe Nietsczhe (not because heavy, but usually the most relevant in discussions with normies and in general a good guy to know). Guess one could say the same for Kant.

obviously your mind would be affected by your reading in power of a supposedly such great mental apparatus, you'd keep that change but afterwards you'd be back to your old reading and interpretation of books.
just a retarded spaghetti way to say you'd only be able to do it for the limited time of reading 5 books

Anyone who claims their IQ is higher than 165 is a fraud.

IQ tests generally don't go past 165 for good reasons. If he 'tested' for 167 it's likely his IQ is high still, but it's impossible to determine really past 140 how high it is.

People needing an IQ test to promote their intelligence are basicly the opposite of a genius. Im not saying ur dumb, all im saying is that what usually defines a genius is their understanding of a subject far beyond the common man. Anyone can read physics after the you know the formulas. After a while ypu truly understand the formulas. But thinking you are even NEAR the guys who discovered them is naive. The gap seems almost invisible, but in reality the gap is so huge that you dont see it.

Also, cuz ur a brainlet, mensa tests gives anyone 130+ iq. After i did it once, i knew instantly the test was a fraud. Got genius tier IQ, but by anekdotes from my life(normal guy), combined with probability (im most likely average iq), its obvious im no genius.

I would just pick the best book on Python, Artificial Intelligence, Data Structures, Machine Learning, and Algorithms & Analysis. If I were masters at these, then I would always be finding high-paying jobs. I hate coding though.

What im trying to say is that mensa, as anything else, is a business. Giving everyone genius tier iq and offering them membership for a few dollars is ironic. The "brightest" people of society pays for fake acknowledgement. The whole situation is so ironic it makes me lose faith in us.
