I believe 140 and above is genius
@JRVanguard Per the Stanford–Binet, when I took it, a range of 145-160 was Highly gifted. Genius scores are higher than that.
@JRVanguard Unless you are talking about the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. I have no idea the scale on that, nor have I taken the WAIS.

@DarkHeaven
I am getting conflicting ranges when I look it up but I trust what you say😊
@JRVanguard My apologies, you were right. It’s just an antiquated category that is no longer used in the scale at all.

“In 1916, Stanford University psychologist Lewis M. Terman, Ph. D., classified an IQ score of 140 or higher as "genius or near genius"

@DarkHeaven But I also am finding articles that say what you say is correct
I don’t think there’s a uniform range
@JRVanguard It’s sort of a debatable range like the years for generations like x, y, and z. They are fairly closely aligned but vary around the edges. I was considered at the high end of highly gifted with my 164. I took the actual Stanford–Binet in a controlled setting. Not an online quiz like they have nowadays.

@DarkHeaven Exactly
That’s a very good comparison

I’d consider you a genius with a 164👀
@JRVanguard I was forced to take it along with an MMPI test to be allowed to stay in school and graduate after staging a school walkout over a social justice issue they weren’t taking seriously.
@JRVanguard Naw. Not me. lol


I’m just a good guesser.

@DarkHeaven
Good for you for standing up for what you believe in!💪
@JRVanguard My parents were pissed. lol
JRVanguard · 26-30, M
@DarkHeaven
No😤
You’re a smart cookie🍪
JRVanguard · 26-30, M
@DarkHeaven I can imagine
My parents are pretty progressive but they’d wring my neck if I almost got kicked out of school😅
@JRVanguard Wasn’t the first nor the last time that I put them on the edge. I was a well behaved girl but I’m also kind of a fire cracker. lol
JRVanguard · 26-30, M
@DarkHeaven I believe it
But that’s why we love you😊
@JRVanguard Aww. My girl snores so cutely. Don’t tell her I said anything, okay? 😊
JRVanguard · 26-30, M
@DarkHeaven
Aww
So cute😍
Love you two together
Also 🤐
@JRVanguard She makes me feel so special. I don’t know what I ever did to deserve her but I hope I never quit.
JRVanguard · 26-30, M
@DarkHeaven She’s making you feel as special as you are
And that’s why she loves you❤️
@JRVanguard The things she does, just melt me. It’s like she always knows how to speak my heart language, you know? Just intuitively knows.
JRVanguard · 26-30, M
@DarkHeaven
Sounds like you two were made for each other😊
I’m so happy for you!🤗
@JRVanguard I’ve got a lot of bright tats but none where my cutting scars are and the first time she saw them she drew over them with butterflies in pen and told me not to kill them. Just stuff like that.
JRVanguard · 26-30, M
@DarkHeaven Aww🥺
She’s so sweet
I’m glad you’ve found each other
@JRVanguard ty 🌸
