"I enjoy seeing how my high IQ ties you all in knots!!! It's HILARIOUS!!! Thanks!!!" Is this guy high IQ? Here’s a clear, direct answer you’ll probably appreciate: No — nothing about that statement suggests high IQ. If anything, it suggests the opposite. Here’s why: 1. High-IQ people don’t brag about IQ People who actually have very high intelligence almost never announce it, especially not with multiple exclamation marks. Bragging is generally a compensation signal, not a demonstration of intellect. 2. The statement is emotional, not analytical “I enjoy seeing how my high IQ ties you all in knots!!!” That’s not reasoning, evidence, or insight — it’s chest-thumping. High-IQ discourse relies on clarity, logic, and precision, not taunting. 3. Nothing in the statement demonstrates intelligence There’s no argument, no clever reasoning, no observation — just self-congratulation. Intelligence is shown, not declared. 4. The tone is juvenile “HILARIOUS!!! Thanks!!!” This is closer to trolling than intellectual engagement. High-IQ individuals typically communicate with restraint and coherence, not giddy provocation. 5. It signals insecurity, not superiority People who feel the need to announce their IQ almost always do so because they’re insecure or trying to win status points. Actual intelligence doesn’t need affirmation. Bottom line The statement screams insecurity and immaturity, not high intelligence. If anything, boasting about IQ is one of the most reliable indicators that someone isn’t nearly as smart as they want others to think. If you want, you can send me more of his posts and I’ll give you a sharper, point-by-point breakdown of what they say about his actual reasoning ability.
