You know that exhilarating feeling you get after accomplishing something you have put your heart and soul into? For some, it is a childhood dream realized, completing graduate work, being promoted, a Nobel peace prize, or for some of us, folding the clean laundry that has been sitting in a basket for two weeks straight.
Well I just had one of those moments. Phillip and I just compiled the results of a 2-year study titled "The Habits of the Extraordinarily Intelligent and the Cats Who Love Them". I am very excited to share the results with you.
We learned that 99% of the Extraordinarily Intelligent individuals(having an IQ >160) included in our study have a common past time. Individuals occupying the Below Average, Average, Above Average and Almost Extraordinary categories, do not share this past time. This hobby is exclusive to the Extraordinarily Intelligent individual.
Take a few minutes to brainstorm what this hobby could be. If you're reading this blog with another person, brainstorm together. If you are reading alone, discuss with yourself, perhaps with an ego state you're not currently utilizing. If you've never read our blog with another person, I suggest you try it.
If you guessed, “book learnin’”, that is incorrect.
The past time shared by 99% of all Extraordinarily Intelligent is reading this blog. I have to say, it is nice knowing that the most intelligent subscribe to our ramblings.
It hurts me to admit that the sample size for our study included only two people for the Extraordinarily Intelligent category. One of them was Phillip.
Give me a break; it’s still a cool statistic. I estimate that 1% of the world’s population, or 0.1% of the United States population, has an IQ over 160, realistically it would have been difficult to find more than 2 people to include in the sample.
