1. There is no such thing as an iq above 160. Almost every pro test only goes up to 160 because anything above that is impossible to measure.
2. Anything above 130 is an extremely high score. You retards tend to talk about people who have iqs of 135-145 as if they are dreadfully inferior to people with iqs of 150+. Iq tests begin to lose validity around the 140 mark, and even then, the 5 point difference between a 145 and a 150 is nothing.
3. Online tests are bullshit. There are some which are semi reliable like the online mensa tests, but those only test one domain of cognitive ability, unlike the WAIS or other pro tests which give an fsiq and are more representative of cognitive ability.
4. Iq fluctuates. One person does not have a single, unchanging iq. Different tests will yield different scores, and the same test under different circumstances will yield different scores.

I've to force myself to have an internal monologue.
Normally I just constantly visualize things in my head.

So I study physics at university and I was watching my 15 year old sister doing her maths homework. One of the questions was this:
>In a list of three consecutive integers at least one of the numbers is even and one of the numbers is a multiple of 3
>n is a positive integer greater than 1
>Prove that n^3 - n is a multiple of 6 for all possible values of n.
She did it with ease but it seemed impossible to me. Am I retarded or is she a child prodigy?

>Fermat's last theorem
Oh, you mean Wiles' theorem?

tfw my IQ is too high for university

>tfw this is what brainlets try to debate when they can't into higher level maths

Pathetic.

I'm very sorry for you OP. It's not your fault you're a brainlet, you just lost the genetic lottery.

The Sun is directly overhead and your watch says that it's June 21. What's your approximate latitude? How do you know?

>tfw 35
>never stopped studying since 4
>will probably never stop till alzheimer's because I still don't know anything about universe

>tfw first perfect score on physics exam

so this is what not being a brainlet feels like
