Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most intelligent of them all?

Show me their accomplishments.

My brain is bigger than your brain.

I know how you feel.

Also, if you know a Mensa member feel free to post up some stories.

Every Mensa member (or self-proclaimed Mensa member) I've ever met has been a total jerk. That's my experience. I had an unlikable AP Algebra teacher in school that was a Mensa member and spoke about it quite often in class. She was a dried up old hag teaching pubescent rednecks. Glad she made it to the top.

"Gifted" programs for kids are such a load of crap, too. I was thrust into them immediately and hated every moment. I eventually stopped going because the kids were awful - exact copies of me only missing the anxiety and self-loathing that makes me tolerable as a human being. My parents were called in and it was a big scene and I basically told my mom I'd rather be in class with my friends who rode skateboards and burned stuff. Gifted programs in schools are the best example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect or more accurately the Downing Effect.

Being proud of being intelligent is as stupid as Nationalism or pride in some other meaningless BS you had no control over. Ted Kaczynski had an IQ of 167 and was ******* neo-luddite living alone in his own filth making bombs. Ayn Rand was very intelligent and she had the world view of a 13-year-old and wrote books worse than Dave Barry's Guide to Life. #wordisbond

This too has been my experience, but I don't get out much so I really only know one.

He happened to be the worthless azzmuch that my ex cheated on me with (the FIRST time (that I KNOW of)). He really wasn't that smart either and had the social skills of 3 year old with a poopy diaper.

Which is why I have never bothered to take the official test.

Aww c'mon, I even used embedded parentheses to appeal to the smarty-pants.
