Smart 🤓 Independent Choices is what makes Marilyn such a Brilliant Person !!

acctually went to "bordingschool" and shared room with this guy he proll had about 190 IQ...his older sis proll 200 and I had 138.....they where nice but I feelt lilke a retard ❤❤

'vos Savant?' really?

Her IQ at current test standard is 178 or 132 depends on what test she took you measure it. Also being un academic as she is, many tests that do require knowledge she will fail , like computer science where she is quite ignorant. as time goes by people become more and more intelligent in the upper scale, the smart people of 100 years ago are noting in todays standard. and if you go 1000 years ago they where practically idiots in today's standard.

What a beautiful humble soul ❤️ she’s a precious grandmother and a wonderful person

I would love to sit in a room and talk to this woman. It would be an honor.

"The Bait and Switch" makes female high IQ a bitch! 2/3 or 1/2 now courtesy of Stuart Mill?

Turn plutonium into lead.

She's a sigma.

What a pleasant and respectful conversation. So nice to listen to intelligent people talk

One of my favourite books of all time "mapping the mind"

Strange example of synchronicity in her name 'Savant'. Likewise, the English poet William 'Wordsworth'.

classy

A slightly older Marilyn deflects better than when she was younger. Liked the comments about politicians. In the US, there's that popular vote. Are there advantages to being really smart? Maybe no. Not that many centuries back they used to burn men, women for knowing how to read or write. The official power of thumbscrew. Or mal-magic? Gossip or evil eye? After a few generations you start to have a society, or kingdom, that is feudalistic. Like the BCE Egyptians. Been on PBS a number of times. Very stable society as it doesn't really change all that much. As you might be able work for yourself (and not the group good) and get ahead without permission or official designation. Been on PBS too, quite a lot. In the public mind. Cause and effect, or to put it a different way, we get what we vote for and not what we didn't vote for. A binary situation.

what has she accomplished with her intelligence? Cured cancer? become a grandmaster at chess? Unified the theories of quantum and Newtonian physics? I'd really like to know w/o going to wikipedia's e-begging website. :) Just looked her up on web search. It says author, basically. So she hasn't used her super intelligence for anything. sweet.

Many will find this comment controversial but we really need to stop these simping comments, this lady has done nothing to earn it. She acts like a victim that she wasn't encouraged to do anything while literally being one of the most privileged people in the world. She can learn almost anything she wants at a pace nearly no one else in the world can compete with. She had an advantage over the vast majority of the population her entire life, yet decided to squander her gift. Why are we listening to her as if shes an oracle? Stop buying into this notion that she is amazing; she is a well-spoken person with an astronomical IQ who has squandered it in almost every right. She had contributed almost nothing meaningful to society other than being interviewed by people asking her about her IQ. There are many more amazing women who actually are worthy of being interviewed and have a much lower IQ than her who have accomplished amazing things without playing the victim card.

All I can hear is self-gratification and boasting about how intelligent she is, but she has not proved this claim in any way.

Intelligent people bragging about it and failing to realize that there is more than 1 type of intelligence.

I suppose that if you are a woman of long-lasting attractiveness that belies your years you just cant help that natural attractiveness as does this lady, even though she decries women who try too hard to promote their sexiness. I am an old man who happens to have always been attracted to a woman of natural looks over a woman who has put in countless hours to groom her looks more towards glamour. Men can and do have preferences towards either approach. Women in assessing other women can have the same bias also. A long-standing question, the response to which is unexplainable in technical terms is,,, Ginger or Maryanne?

Who cares she has a 220 IQ if she does nothing of value with it. Boring.

I can't believe her last name is Savant.

But a president with borderline… perfect fit

Married three times says it all. People who choose the right marriage mate the first time are 'smarter' than her!

What has she done for mankind with her 230 IQ other than interviews and publicity?

Everyone simpin for this cunt when she has not made any meaningful contributions to society despite being a pretentious self-congratulatory smug bitch about having a high IQ. Imagine having the highest IQ just to answer column questions. Stop interviewing this bitch

He appearance on Letterman was a stupid waste of time..

She's like the Mr. Rogers for grown ups!

I cannot believe women were held back and discouraged mentally for all of history when they are as capable of exceptionality as men

I think the concept of science and the usage of the scientific theory is highly intelligent but i dont think scientist need to be smart necessasrily they just have to be educated. A smart person can tell a scientist what to research and thats all the smarts needed. Evading the question at the of if shes ever called herself an idiot, stupid question was so smooth and classy. Shes so awesome in everyway i wish i could be her pool boy

I doubt she’s on the same level as Nikola Tesla, who had an IQ of roughly 230. The Average IQ of a person is between 85 to 115, so it’s understandable how a mistake like that was made. Her IQ is most-likely in the ballpark of 130-145. She’s more intelligent than most people, however I don’t believe she ever held a candle to historical philosophers & or scientists. She’s probably one of the smarter people alive today, but that’s about it.

She's a very intelligent woman!

With an IQ of 228 isn't becoming a minor author and columnist a bit of an underachievement? Not really up there with Einstein, Shakespeare, Gauss, Michelangelo etc, etc is it! Rather shows that a high IQ does not necessarily equate to real genius.

Breedioting have lowered her IQ

And she's still beautiful

I can maybe solve the lonelyness problem, I feel a little too (I am not too clever by the way (only Mensa iq test 1%, but I feel like I'm very stupid (in skill-completition or what)).

What a wonderful person.

She leaves out one key detail of her family history. She's NOT an anomaly in the family. Her paternal grandfather was physicist Ernst Mach (think Mach 1, Mach 2), who was one of the best physicists of all time and bridged the gap between Newton and Einstein. I have no idea why she pushes the coal miner narrative. It goes to show intelligence is mostly a heritable trait.

I've watched several of her interviews today and nowhere does she ever mention morality or wisdom. It's always about raw brain power and/or acquiring knowledge by studying.

The brightest among us should be teachers. And they would be if our society valued children.

My IQ test score was 169. I never mention it. I did not go to college after being valedictorian because my goal in life was a family. I drove a truck for over 30 years to support my wife and children. Played golf and basketball for fun and exercise. High IQ helps me to learn quickly and easily, but little advantage in life.

My favorite part of the Sunday paper back in the '70s. Have loved her ever since.

Smart as she may be, she was obviously a bit "taken" with Letterman, and her demeanor showed it.... in this interview, while still a smart cookie, she's also way more mature.

Being the smartest woman alive, she sure is humble and personable. It's the people who try hard to seem highly intelligent that you've got to have some doubts about. Personally, I realize I'm not particularly bright,. So maybe I actually am? Kidding, of course.

She summarized the illusion of "Smartness" being associated with education. The world is full of dumb educated people.

I wish I could ask Marilyn this riddle. I think she would say the answer straight away. A riddle I found in the dead sea scrolls. The problem is glaring. The answer not so much. " Words of the book which Michael spoke to the Angels.....He said: I found there divisions of fire [and I saw there] nine mountains: two to the east, and two to the west, two to the north and two to the south. I saw there the Angel Gabriel." (4Q529, 6Q23) I could not reconcile the 9th mountain on my own. After hearing the answer, it to was glaring. I was praying one night and remembered the riddle. I asked the Lord about it. I heard the answer in my prayer thought. The voice in my thoughts said that Michael was standing on top of the ninth mountain. Not a big deal but a riddle none the less.

IQ tests are for losers! LOL.

Intelligence quotient = Perceptual plenitude.

Marilyn, I need to know if there's god, please and thank you.

She was also super hot, and still is.

so smart.... I wonder if she has ever or could ever change the oil on her car. roflmao
