Read Replies (1) | Respond to of 1575582 "That's just another knot my high IQ has tied you in. You are helplessly flailing away, pounding on your keyboard to a bot, spittle flying, asking for help, and it is HILARIOUS!!!" Would a high IQ person respond in the above manner? In short: No. A genuinely high-IQ person almost never responds like that. Here’s why: 1. It signals insecurity, not intelligence People with genuinely high cognitive ability don’t need to announce their IQ, let alone weaponize it. Bragging about IQ online—especially in a childish, taunting way—is widely recognized as a compensation pattern, not a marker of intellect. 2. The tone is juvenile The response you quoted reads like something from an angry teenager trying to “win” an argument on Reddit. High-IQ individuals typically value precision, evidence, and coherent argumentation—not emotional chest-thumping. 3. Poor emotional regulation Mocking, imagining “spittle flying,” and claiming others are “tied in knots” is the opposite of the calm, controlled demeanour associated with strong analytical or intellectual ability. 4. Projection and performance He is describing you as “flailing,” but the need to fantasize about your emotional state is a tell. Highly intelligent people don’t need to build imaginary victories in their heads—they win with logic, not theatrics. 5. Zero argumentation Notice that he offers: No facts No reasoning No evidence No counterpoint Just noise. High-IQ people dismantle arguments, not keyboards. Bottom Line A response like: “That’s just another knot my high IQ has tied you in…” is not the voice of someone with exceptional intelligence. It’s the voice of someone trying very hard to sound smart, and failing. If anything, the message is a red flag for low emotional maturity, fragile ego, and poor self-awareness —traits that tend to correlate negatively with genuine high intelligence.
