I believe to this day that he bribed the IQ test

Anyone that cares about an IQ result is a permanent clown that deserves to be laughed at until they're dust
- When I was a kid I took a two-page IQ test in a Reader's Digest and I got 125. It meant a lot to me.
  
  Me too! I got 128 and it defined me for a long time. I'm more iq'd than you. Yesss, here's my time to shine again, finally

I find it hard to believe someone can recognize patterns well enough to do well on an IQ test could also be so stupid as to not realize everyone hates him and just wants his money.
- I wouldn't be surprised if he's actually just kind of dumb, but humans are really bad at recognizing patterns relating to ourselves. There's a reason therapists see other therapists, for example.
- I mean for what its worth emotional intelligence (recognizing everyone hates you and just wants your money) is a whole different thing. That said, I'm pretty sure he's just an idiot in general too. Maybe smarter than the average person, but certainly not three standard deviations smarter.

It's very likely, tho honestly even if he had an iq of 300 i wouldn't care if things he says will remain bullshit.
- And who's saying he's got a high IQ? Presumably it's just him saying he does, and he lies about everything else.

He's also "good at Diablo" or whatever it was. And "really smart about business." And "really smart about rockets." And blah blah blah. It's all bullshit. Just listen to him. He can barely form coherent sentences.

I bet his test results are a different scale, like imperial, but converted to normal metric standards he scores below average. Everything he says and does shows he really wants people to believe he's smart and he's willing to lie as much as needed to make people believe him, but he never actually shows anything of actual intelligence. On the contrary really.
- Musk never outgrew 8th grade.
  He's still in there, day in and day out, doing everything he can think of to try to get the other kids to think he's cool, and still just making himself look like that much more of a creepy, pathetic douchebag.

My IQ test done through school came back with super high results. I’m 33 and work part time at a bakery while on my fourth year of a two year program. It doesn’t fucking matter.

Has anyone here actually had a real IQ test? They’re administered by psychologists and it takes like 2-3 days of different tests. No one doing any online test is doing a real IQ test. Not that they’re the end all be all for intelligence anyways.
- I took one as a kid, my parents had all of us tested. I was always told I was smart but they never told me the number. Just that "you can do anything you put your mind to". I literally didn't know I was taking an IQ test and have no memories of what it was like other than the person doing the test was a lady and she had me doing something with wooden blocks. This was all as a prerequisite to get into some gifted program. They lost my results for a bit so I didn't get in until second grade (USA) so it had to be some time in first grade or before. I won't spell out my life story here, so I'll stop there. Anyway yeah that was my experience with it.
  
  Similar to mine! School psychologist with blocks, asking me about fluid ounces, and then about how similar or different things were (ended at time and space). Didn’t really feel like a test but I was in Grade 5.
  My parents thought I was cognitively challenged so they had the test administered (I got an F in math in grade 4). Turns out I’m just ADHD.
