Is that really how they feel? I don't know if they really think about it.
Right, this fact is very hard for them to detect, due to the Dunning-Kruger Effect. This touches upon both of your quotes.
Damn straight. TY.

LMAO? IQ isn't a definite measure of intelligence, and AFAIK below 120 isn't mentally ret*d either. It's around the 70 mark and below that one is considered mentally handicapped.
One person with an IQ of 150 can't drive, yet another with an IQ of 100 does it just fine. Who's more adept?
I respect a person of normal or below normal intelligence who understands what they don't understand more than a person of above normal intelligence who overstates his/her knowledge/understanding of the world.
I think 90% of intelligence is the ability to *know* when you *don't know* what the hell you're talking about.
Is that really how they feel? I don't know if they really think about it.
This is how I feel; I'd estimate my IQ to be between 120-130 according to my school results and other things (although I was tested at age 12 on the Weisner-? scale I think it was and my IQ was listed between 97-99, but I am fairly certain this is inaccurate due to my consistent scoring within the top 3 percentile of the state). I guess I can't really speak for others though, I'll give you that.
I'm sorry I upset you, I didn't mean to, I guess I've hardly ever found people with a slightly lower (but still intellectual) IQ assume I'm less intelligent. Although, very occasionally someone assumes I'm mentally ret*d because they have no real understanding of what Aspergers is.

Ok. I started this thread, so I'll see your inane responses and try my best to respond. Not that you gave me the effort beyond a knee-jerk, but that's just the kind of person I am.

Please don't troll in my thread. No s**t IQ isn't a good measurement. Who the hell said it was? Using it to ball park something as complex as intelligence is just something some people do sometimes. It's like talking in miles even though I live in kilometers. It's a system which many people know of as a general rule. Reactionary much? Thanks for wasting my time in general. The rest of your post is just as irrelevant as that, but I'm gonna give you room to figure it out.
Except that part about driving. That's just mean. I know I could drive if I put enough effort into it. And one of the most amazing geniuses I know can drive, it's just a bit scary when he does.

Me too. If this is a veiled insult at anyone here (including me), I am very disappointed in you. It would suggest you have failed to grasp the basic meaning of the topic, and then proceeded to troll.
God. Will you aspies please stop arguing with people who agree with you? It's really lame. We shouldn't be fighting each other. I don't know about you, but I get so much s**t from people irl, I don't intend to pass that on to my WP friends.
Thanks, Sunshower. Don't underestimate yourself. Start using your mind, explore yourself fully. You might find it's a lot more capable than you ever imagined.

I don't see how this is a troll post as the OP claimed. Why? Because you made a very good point and corrected her about what mental retardation really is. And that is trolling?
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
Man that word sure gets misused and thrown around here. If people don't agree with what someone said nor liked what they said, they call them a troll. If they get offended easily, they are called a troll. Now pointing out peoples mistakes, they are called a troll.

Please.. please read. It's trolling because whatever he thinks I said... I didn't say it. It's trolling because we are already in agreement. It's trolling because he's not trying to understand the actual content before he... "corrects".
And I would now consider you a troll for the same reasons. Thanks for compounding the BS into an even denser form of BS. Now if someone responds based off your post we'll have a veritable shitpile forming. Won't it be grand? Let's do it! Let's just alllllllll talk out of our asses! YAY.
YAY FOR GIANT SHITPILES OF IRRELEVANT POSTS. WHO EVEN CARES ABOUT REALITY AS LONG AS WE LOOK INDIGNANT? HOOORAAAHHH FOR ONLINE EGOBOOSTS!

Ah I see, whoever doesn't agree with you is a troll. Got it. Now I shall assume you're a troll.
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
Now instead of throwing that word around, why not try and explain what you are talking about because not everyone reads things the same way you do. You may make a post and other people may read it and not interpret the way you had it. It does not make them trolls. If you read through their posts, you will see they are regular people here. They are not here to start fights or cause trouble.
Look, I respect the sentiment there, but I was very clear just then.
Me: It's trolling because we are already in agreement.
You: Ah I see, whoever doesn't agree with you is a troll.
What I meant there is that I do agree with him. How is that hard to read? Is agreement too big a word?
Please don't put this down to reading differently. Maybe by differently you mean varying degrees of EFFORT. In which case I agree entirely. Your lack of comprehension stuns and saddens me. Please get it this time.

I am sorry if I didn't comprehend your post, that does not make me a troll. There are people with disabilities here who do have reading comprehension problems but that does not make them a troll. Plenty of people with mental illnesses and disabilities are called trolls even though anyone can be called one. Also the word gets misused by people for the reasons I have already listed.
What I was focused on was you calling him a troll and it is against the rules here BTW to call other members trolls but I didn't go reporting it to the mods. I let this one slide.

One person with an IQ of 150 can't drive, yet another with an IQ of 100 does it just fine. Who's more adept?
My IQ is 154. I can't drive and to be honest, I still feel as though I'm more adept than most people out there. Hell, I know I am!
Well, I'm half considering not even posting because this thread has gone downhill into some mass of tangled argument...
/pretends the last page never happened/
Anyway, I get compared to Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory on a near daily basis. I highly suspect it's because of my interests and intellect as well as OCD and Aspergers. It's never really bothered me since most of the comparisons people make are close enough to the truth, but they do it often enough that it will get a bit frustrating...

I was compared to Sheldon once by someone online. But I don't know if he was just pretending or if he was being genuine. He used me for something by pretending to be my friend and when I refused to give him something, he stopped talking to me. So who knows if everything he was saying to me was even genuine or an act.

Ok. Well, thank you. My lesson learned.
You really should be careful about bagging on other members if you have reading comprehension issues. It's really not fair on other members. A good rule to go by is just avoid saying anything bad about anyone, which I stick to myself, because of my own perception issues. UNLESS PROVOKED.

I didn't actually watch the show until a friend I will be rooming with made me. I do fit a lot of his specific characteristics as well as his general personality, and now that it has been mentioned once nobody I know seems to let it up.
I've had that happen to me before as well -- have someone end a friendship because I refused to do something specific for the or give something to them. In all honesty, it's petty and pretty damn pathetic.
