Possibly highest IQ

[TIMMAY!!!]

Yeah he did...that's the point of these stupid shows. Are you saying that's amazing or are you saying he should have kept going?

Mildly Gifted -- 115 to 129
Moderately Gifted -- 130 to 144
Highly Gifted -- 145 to 159
Exceptionally Gifted -- 160 to 179
Profoundly Gifted -- 180

In my opinion, the only way he's gifted is that he has the ability to somehow make people think that he's a genius. Here's a link to the Mega Society wiki; apparently its not exactly a highly legitimate test, as is non-standardized, unsupervised, and there is controversy over whether it is valid at all.

Good one, so if someone doesn't say you're smart or validate you're smart then all the weirdness when they are kids , goes away.

OK

skipping grades, et cetera does not mean you are any smarter than someone else, it validates that schools are aimed at ?????

[TIMMAY!!!]

I think you misunderstand my point. I know that there are people out there with unrecognized genius, and they will die without anyone ever knowing they had extraordinary minds. However, this guy is marketing to the public the farce that he is the smartest guy in the world because he did well on an IQ test of highly questionable legitimacy. Notice that the title of your thread is "Possibly highest IQ," which implies that the most notable thing about Langan is his extremely high IQ, which is measured by the "Mega Test." If the "Mega Test" is a poor judgement of intelligence, then Langan's IQ as measured by this test is irrelevant. Why does it matter? It wouldn't, but Langan SAYS it does.

He should take a real IQ test, instead of one that's some magazine called "the most difficult IQ test ever."

I know some kids that skipped grades. There are high school students in my college because the public school system is not nearly challenging enough for them. And I've heard of junior high (6th, 7th, 8th graders) kids going to college. These kids are extremely smart. However, the fact that they skipped grades is no evidence that they are the smartest people in the world.

I knew he was smarter than most when he took the money !

I work at a casino, and we don't want people like him there !

[TIMMAY!!!]

Ah yes, I probably would have taken the money too though, that question about NC-17 movies was one I'd probably get wrong.

We like people who want it all, avarice

lol@can't buy a motorcycle helmet

He may have picked the wrong state to live in, if he likes bikes - Missouri is one of 19 states that requires all riders to wear a helmet, and some state lawmakers say that's costing the state tourism dollars.
