    How do you measure actually intelligent?

      It’s like art, you know it when you see it.

      You don’t measure it. You compare it to your own intelligence and see if it matches.

      When they say it. If somebody says “I’m very smart” or “I’m very intelligent”, you know the answer.

      Excellent question. For me, it has a lot to do with their sense of humor, general outlook, and their problem solving. ymmv

      Have you heard about IQ Test.

        The flawed metric racists use to claim they are somehow superior?

        There is a reason why it isn’t standard practice and only covers certain topics. It can measure some general knowledge, but is in no way indictment to the actual intelligence of a person.

        somebody talking about their IQ would be a major red flag for me lol

          Is it OK if they mention that their IQ is less than 0 Kelvin.

        Have YOU been on the mensa forums?

          I’m theoretically Mensa qualified but when I met some I turned away. My sense of what’s fun and creative did not align. At all.
