He does have a point. I was expecting folks to explain what they knew about the behavior of really smart people but everyone feels they are the smart person.
I'm sure some are very smart. Those tests do not indicate the actual truth.
Can anyone back up their info with having lived the life of a traditaional "smart person"?
Did anyone enter college at 15?
Has anyone had any papers published or made contributions to higher mathematics or theoretical physics.
Nobel prize or any similar awards for excellence in their field?
Work as a mathematician for the government? Nasa?
Phd in real analysis?
Child prodigy in math, chess, ?
Something?
The type of person the OP was talking about is one who usually is not just a high IQ score person but an achiever of brilliance. Not a business major or communications or working some corporate job or whatever. Those things are excellent fields with smart ambitious folks but he's looking for unusually gifted smarties. I thought that at least?
I'd like to know myself how they think but no one has really described themselves as being in that class of brilliance.
