High IQ and Narcissism: Fact or Fiction?

Keith Lee2 said:That’s just not true. You're straight up lying.🙂

Oh boy, here we go, the rumors are starting to fly.
Don't go embarrassing yourself now 😉

Thomas Martinez67 said:Honestly, who even needs emotional intelligence?

Quincy:

I don't really know what to say about this one—just kind of sitting here thinking... anyway, hope everyone's having a decent day. says: She’s been messing things up for a long time now—honestly.🤣

Yeah, people are talking—but they aren't talking about me.😬

Thomas Martinez67 said:Well, I’m not exactly my own person, so how could I possibly be yours? :P
Besides, don't go trying to claim me just yet.
And really, I think what I'm doing here is incredibly constructive.
In a very simple, straightforward way, I want to demonstrate exactly how much weight emotional intelligence carries in these discussions.
I’ve already gone into detail about this elsewhere, and I don't want to get repetitive, so...
this should be plenty.

🙂

Lawrence Wells said:So, I’ve heard this theory floating around—that if your tonsils get ripped out, you basically turn into some kind of sexual maniac. Honestly? Sounds like total nonsense to me—but hey, people love a good urban legend.😁

Not if they've been banned. 😉
If by "fail," you mean they’re only dealing with a damaged amygdala, then sure, you’ve got a point.

They aren't coming for you. They’re just aiming for their own crotch.😬
You’re nothing more than an excuse for an erection.
I once saw someone just like that guy while I was at the hospital. He’d been in a car wreck.

Exactly! That's what I'm talking about!😉

Prolonged intelligence might just drive you straight to madness 🙄 😈

So—I mean, really—it’s basically a disease 😁

I guess a lot of smart people end up feeling oppressed. It seems like when one person rises, others feel they're falling, which leads to all sorts of delusions. Maybe I'm being selfish, but I consider myself highly intelligent, and because I always had an answer for everything, people labeled me as having some sort of superiority complex. Honestly, intelligence can be a curse sometimes, or maybe a gift. Either way, I highly doubt I have Asperger's. 🙂

I guess that’s what happens when you’re just too low-key. :P

What kind of actual connection is there between intelligence and simply knowing the answer to every single question?
I mean, I'm not saying they aren't related, but isn't it a bit overrated?

Lawrence Wells said:Come on, people—let's hear it! Speak up!

Do you actually think Seselj is a smart guy?

Whether we're talking about Seselj—or that guy they call Victor in the cell block (mostly because of his... let's say, "unconventional" tastes)—😛

well, I already gave my answer regarding people like him. He's just one of those sick individuals.

A sustained, high level of intelligence can actually trigger insanity😈

so—basically—it's a disease.😍

Honestly, I read the exact opposite of what you're saying.😍

Can someone give me a legit definition of narcissism?

🤣 🤣 🤣

Perhaps a premise worth using to expand on the question posed in
the headline:

Do people with high IQs tend toward narcissism, while those with lower IQs gravitate
toward worshipping them?

Lawrence Wells said:Come on, people—let's hear it! Speak up!

Haha, total trick question... I mean, just by posting here, a person is basically admitting they think they're smart. So, if nothing else, it definitely leans toward vanity, doesn't it?

Jessica Cox5 said:The title of this thread is nothing short of an absolute truth. Personally, I have zero issues repeating myself indefinitely to people with sub-standard IQs just to ensure they grasp my point once their limited cognitive capacity suffers a total syntax overflow. Honestly, while performing this tedious service, I occasionally manage to avoid descending into pure, unadulterated cynicism—perhaps because I harbor a shred of sympathy for those who weren't cursed with my particular brand of genetic recombination—but most days, it is incredibly difficult not to let my true feelings bleed through via aggressive gestures or a pointed glare. To wrap this up: modesty is strictly relative to one's standing on the evolutionary ladder, and given my circumstances, I am disproportionately modest. Those narcissistic low-IQ types are the ones currently holding positions at the Department of State.

Haha, talk about arrogance... you're definitely a narcissist, though I couldn't speak to your IQ.😁

Maybe go take a Mensa test instead..

Porky, were you actually at that Spark festival a few years back using this same handle?

I'm sorry, but the cafeteria testing equipment only goes up to 167.
