Thanks for the encouragement aparico.. and the intution part.. I like it. Somehow my intution always knew what next step I should (roughly) take. I will keep choping away what is not true, so eventually, I will find (my) truth. Best regards!

Thanks for sharing! :D

IQ is lie

I don't know how much it's gonna help you but I was pretty much in the same position for a pretty long while and I tried to like fight it back (I had sympthoms for ADHD and some antisocial disorders, still gifted though) and right now I can say I have more or less surpassed it, it's a though fight though...

High iq people don’t know the difference between “then” and “than” ? That’s odd

@@nadademais1234 3 things mate. 1st of all maybe he is not even english just like, so he does not have to know the meaning to those words. 2nd, and if he was english, what? Knowledge is nothing near equal to intelligence/iq. And as I see you lack both of them... One of the thing that makes high iq people struggle so much is the way people like you still thinks about the topic nowadays. And 3rd, instead of trying to insult him or humilliate him, you should try get in his shoes and not attacking just one mistake he made. Because you know what? Evem me have probably made more than one grammar mistake in this text, but we are not perfect, we are just humans.

@@daninazzz i didnt attack him but you are attacking me. English is not my first language and i know the difference between then and than

beter dan > better than > beter dan toen > better than then.

Thank you, me too :D

Yay! Thank you :)

What a beautiful comment! You describe sensitivity very well :) Thank you xxxx

Another infp :o lol hi👋

Its fairly seen in alot of intutive types slightly differently interpreted in our own way but universally general understood within this catagory

IQ is lie

Yes! Happy to be back :)

I'm so glad this made you feel seen! Thank you for your comment :)

@@PenelopeLola Thanks!

I'm definitely gonna read a couple of those books, the one about Van Gogh will be good because I feel like I'm the depressed crazy artist. I'm very good at music especially along with anything creative

My pleasure! 😊 xxx

How glad I am to read this!! :D

@@PenelopeLola yes even after your videos were a long time ago

Thank you very much, glad you trusted yourself ! :)

Thank you for this, I did my best 😇 wish you luck in your journey!!

Thank you :D

Yes it is! He's so beautiful (insert emoji with heart eyes here, too, because I have no idea how to do it either :) )

Hey! Great idea! Was in need of inspiration, found your comment, and I'm definitely doing your suggestion :)

I really agree with you! I really want to explore Giftedness more in future videos, it does need to be recognized!

Emmm.. Not quite. When your profoundly gifted 2% ers just sound a little less stupid to you. Severely gifted.. You get the point.

Salut! Vive KZfaq qui nous permet de rendre le monde un peu plus petit :) Étant donné que je sais qu'être doué est assez difficile, je te souhaites bonne chance dans ton développement personnel!

good observation! but i think it is a creative approach to say that "feeling guilty" isnt the right word, i also thought we were feeling guilty about our high intellectual capacity but, i think that expression is created by people with less intellectual capacity, or by people that didnt put much effort in to describing what they saw, ok, it is useful to describe ... something that is going on here. but it does not help us Highly gifted to move on i think. o have observed that many expressions describing observations of phenomenons are oversimplifying what they are meant to describe, and i think it is because the language is the majorities language, it takes the rout of leas resistance much too often, and this leads, among other things to that we sometimes we get stuck in the words, when the words wasn't meant to be taken literary or even very seriously when the expression was created in the beginning. and as a result of that we get stuck in our development. i think we can dissect the "guilt feeling" further so that it then becomes a few or probably many things, things that are something totally different, just like when one substance is broken down in to its basic components the components are totally different from the substance they were a part of, then we can look at those parts and in the step after that we can build it in to a completely new description of what is happening here in moments of extra clarity i have seen pretty clearly what these things are or might be,, but in order, shape and form they present themselves as really unconventional if i were to describe them so it would take a lot of time to make a good description of it, not the plave for it here, unless the sitation change but i think one component is that its not about guilt or shame i think its lack of experience, i see when i compare that when i enter ground where I am very inexperienced suddenly after frequenting areas where i have a lot of experience, and i do the switch so that its visible fro anyone in front of a group of people, it feels the same no matter what area of inexperience i enter, and i observe the same "feeling" or "event" inside when im about to display my fuller intellectual capacity in full view many of us have not been given the opportunity to practice entering our highly intelligent arena so that it becomes obvious for others, there is a lot of different kinds of training that can be exercised here, it is a complex thing and at the same time, we must manage, various situations where people might become upset or, let's generalize by saying, misunderstand, different things so it is it a kind of meta inexperience situation where we are inexperienced inside of another layer of inexperience? could it maybe be a good summary of it?

@@torrace12 Hi and yes, I agree with you 100%. The not being given the opportunity to practice, as you put it, certainly hits home. Its more 'made to ' feel guilty by those who know you are gifted and frustration with those who look at your wealth,CV etc and therefore don't spot our giftedness and close the door to another opportunity to practice. Telling that group is certainly a bad idea. You can be taller or smaller than someone but don't ever let them know, you know you are more intelligent than they want you to be =p I've only recently started looking at inattentive ADD/EFD with overexcitabilities as my 'block' on dream chasing, or focusing on study. I knew I was gifted in the text book sense (IQ) but never had it explained and certainly wasn't aware it came with its own traits; that if not known or understood would negatively affect us. The 40+ years since my first IQ test have only ever been "you're wasting your're life you had so much potential.." type of help from family thus the feeling of guilt for not being able to maintain a direction. Within 3-4 weeks of having had the possibility of hidden traits suggested I certainly feel far less conflict on who I am vs who i 'was supposed to be'. The frustration's still there, especially when an ADHD assessment is refused as, in the words of gov.uk "You're not a threat to yourself or others and should be able to fix it yourself if you have such a high IQ" TBH they are probably right and I'm sure I can fix myself but then walks in my intellectual overexcitability with its thousand questions.

​@@davehale7576 i very much recognize the Shitty neat doings the surrounding people aim at you, it , when added up over time becomes a session worthy to call torture, but none ever gets sentenced to prison for torturing people " a little at the time" for decades it also makes me think about something that i have thought about many many times, that i think you also wrote about - that is , that since i am outside of the mindset of the majority (picture is more complicated than this but ill skip the other parts) so i see how dysfunctional the big group in society that is very similar is but they throw "power-tools" at me when i point it out, rather then practicing showing good character which taught me that social structures is about who has the most power. this view is nothing about being cynical but is built on so much more scrutiny of self-perspective then what is needed its built on the experiences of people using their dominating position to steamroll me or others in different ways ( wonder if being cynical isnt another pseudo word that the majority use, maybe cynicism is built on evidence that is just as or more objective as a positive view of life) and the "faster" society gets, the less people hear about being slow to judge and get brought up to tolerate and still befriend people that does not quickly provide them a rewarding social trait, and that when people annoy them they should not act upon their anger by doing mean things etc, the more the society is ruled by domination. society is going in the wrong direction in this way i also , as i listen to the video and her the girl in it talk about her going to therapy, remember that it is obvious, at last to the major part, that society sends the minority to therapy, not because they need it more, but because people drew the conclusion that it is easier to practically manage to send the outsiders to therapy then to send everyone else this might be a productive solution in part, but then it is important that the therapy is centered around "you are here to learn how to win over people that try to hurt you, by learning about their dysfunctional traits" as much as it really is about that, otherwise new guilt complexes probably appear, (why am i here when its everyone else that is at fault is often a defendable question in this situation) i think this too relates to your reply in some way, i hope i interpreted what you wrote the right way i also really feel released after just watching a few videos on youtube about being gifted, i am also watching videos about having "spiritual traits"or being "spiritually gifted" in different ways, there are some part of what is talked about in them that also make me land on the right place i think that spiritualism is much connected to level of intelligence, when being intelligent spirituality and physical evidence more often go hand in hand then it does for near norm-located minds the "You're not a threat to yourself or others and should be able to fix it yourself if you have such a high IQ" is a great example of a show of mindset that just makes me want to take the persons hand and say " i have so much to teach you, and its going to take years for you to grasp all the ways you are acting and thinking in the wrong way simultaneously right now" but,,ye you know... one little self-criticism is in place in the end? i think we gifted people need to practice a bit more of the trait that people used to have more of, the one where we say,,,it is not a guarantee that anyone will be able to use their gifts in the best way possible or even close to that there is no moneyback guarantee on life, we should focus more on making the world better as much as is possible where we are at right now or something similar to that finally, one thing that i have discovered is that, sometimes i just have to decide that this is how things are and not listen so much to what i feel about a situation, i mean that even if i was sure something was "my fault" i decided with my minbd that it was not my fault at all and just went for it. i tried that and then i discovered that being "bitchy" a little bit like the way the most popular kids were in schol is something that works very well against people that are beginning to push me too much in to a corner. i discovered that if i tried to discuss with them as ialways did up till then it could take months to make the m maybe understand my perspective, and ialways ended up sacrificing too much to reach common ground but if i was coming down like an eagle on them (with words and thoughts) they actually revealed that under a bit of pressure couldnt help showing that they already understand, that it was only a matter of w a n t i n g to understand and then i didnt have to carry their responsibility for them any more. we who have heard a lot of things that give us guilt often feel guilty and think it must be true just because we feel it, but feelings are potentially as deceptive as thoughts good artists borrow - great artists steal, thats something i heard a long time ago and i used that when i behaved like "the most popular kids" in school, and then it worked. i tried to explain this further many times, and it is interesting to try and explain it but you understand what it means only by the above

@@torrace12 I wish you lived next door :) We think outside the box! That's not saying we are right. We spend all day everyday walking around the box, up close or far away as we wander around, letting our minds pick and poke at it; not trying to discover what it is or finding a way in but to find a way to let everyone else out. When we see strange shadows reflected onto it we say 'hey look at...' and most the world reply in a "Thats just the way it is...". Its so hard to explain how the shadow aren't just there and it's the things making the shadows you're actually talking about. Maybe it's because most people are inside the box and really can't see the shadows. Or the dunning kruger effect kicks in and they refuse to consider their knowledge, built up over years and years of study and training might have holes in it. We're told we need therapy to 'open our minds' and allow growth so we see and experience things in the 'right way' Sadly, i believe we do need therapy :( not so we can see the world the 'right way' but to accept others cant or wont look. Sat face to face, I could debate this topic for 3 days straight if given opposings mind able to bend my line of sight. Strangely we would probably not be disagreeing but only spending the time trying to find the words to explain how a nuance, an extra layer to the complexity fits in. Spirituality! I was an atheist at heart. But this last few weeks I've seriously started to question my beliefs. Not that I believe there is a divine being sat sipping tea watching us all from afar. But in the sense my giftedness came packed with its own suite of traits; those 'given' to me on purpose to force me to understand. That 'someone' doesn't just want us to take our high learning potential and use it to race to be 'successful' with fame and fortune. Our struggles placed deliberately in the way to make us stop and question everything. I want to 'do' not 'get' the rewards giftedness can offer us. I'm off for now as I need to email my 'what you want to see not what I am' er I mean CV to some prospective employees.

Oh wow thank you so much :D You're really kind!

People read too much into IQ or expect too much from it. IQ is a statistical tool, a benchmark. It doesn't try to tell you anything specific about a person, simply their expected capabilities in a variety of fields compared to the wider public. Real IQ tests are carefully crafted/researched (psychological testing is an entire field of its own in psychology) to achieve standardization. If you leave it at that, it is well established and accepted; having been (and still being) scrutinized heavily, probed and prodded, all the while still confirming scientific soundness. It's a test that passes the scientific method. If you try to take the meaning of IQ further than that, it can fall apart: savants for example usually score comparatively low on general IQ tests, and yet they have some exceptional abilities. But that isn't a problem of the IQ test - it's an issue of taking the concept of IQ out of the scope that it is meant to work in. I would be careful to conflate personality and IQ too much. It's not a personality test. It's deliberately impersonal. Try not to explain somebody's personality based on their IQ or vice versa. Suddenly you are comparing apples and oranges. Maybe you shouldn't think of IQ in the terms of "less" and "more" (as it is, sadly, generally used) - think of it as measure of "differentness" (a bit like MBTI); as a measure of the distance from the norm. That way the idea is less confining and intimidating. The further you are from the norm, the more attention you should give to your cognition... that's it, nothing more, nothing less.

1. Yes, IQ measures "intelligence", or general intelligence (g) and is scientifically valid and reliable and supported by 100+ years of research. 2. The Myers Briggs, unlike the Big Five, is not a scientifically valid or reliable concept.

@@alessiomarin1218 Yes ,and to add to that, it is not that an INTP would score more than an INFP in an IQ test ,but it happens to be that many of the high IQ people associate with the INTP personality profile ,because having higher intelligence associates with people liking logical matters ,being more curious and high in openness , often more introverted etc. So it's not a reason to question the validity of the IQ test nor the intelligence OR/Hence IQ of a non INTP. and also to note on the original comment ,your definition of intelligence is problematic that is why ,it's more complicated .

I.Q. is more like torque in an engine, it's the potential energy that can be generated by that engine. Power is the actual real life power that is applied and can be measured. This is rough ball park guide, not an exact science but it helps some people to understand. I.Q. is measurement of potential intelligence, knowledge is applied power or actual intelligence.

Almost all IQ tests are testing knowledge. which word in brackets is most similar to UP, (down,LEFT,Right) ? The question assumes you know what those words mean before any intelligence takes over to pick the most similar (or at least the most similar to the person writing the test). Now make the words 'harder'. Are you testing IQ or knowledge?

Also just saying that being gifted is the ability to explain things etc, but never get prideful because even if you are smarter, it dosent mean youre right, the world is too complex to think you are right.

@@terehommikust1718 That's the worst description or definition of giftedness I have ever read... "the ability to explain things" 😂

Thank you! It was indeed a little hard to post, and I'm still glad I did it now, very proud of this video :) I wish you luck!
