I also have a 147 IQ and I do think that some people with 115 IQ’s I can communicate quite effectively. Yet, I know someone who has a 128 IQ and I think his brain is not connected correctly. Great article!
Communication at 45 IQ Points Difference
As you note, we types can communicate quite well with these 115 IQ people.
At 45 IQ points difference, we are talking to 100 IQ types, who are simply the average person. Average IQ people often bore me to tears, and they often don’t seem to have anything intelligent to say. A lot of times when I talk to them, they look baffled half the time because they don’t know what I am talking about. They also seem annoyed, probably because I am talking over their heads. I try to explain what it is I am talking about, and they usually act like they could care less. If I try to adjust the conversation down to their level, I feel like I am talking about mundane things, and I start getting bored.
The 100 IQ Type
However, these people can often grasp many of the essential truths of life easily, they often have superb social skills, and their understanding of psychology will often shock you. I assume that the grasp of psychology flows from their social skills.
I have met a few people in this range who were so bright it stunned me. One had an IQ of 97 and the other had an IQ of 108. The 108 IQ guy was a frequent commenter on the blog and seemed to get everything I wrote about. The 97 IQ man was actually an intellectual. He understood everything you said and he had somehow gained extensive learning either through reading or other means.
And at that IQ, you are a fish and all of society is your sea. It is probably a great IQ if you simply want to get along well with others and have a happy life here on Earth.
