I Don't Understand People (1 Viewer)

[BillyBarooo]

Been that way my whole life. Emotions, motivations, psychology, and all those things that determine actions. It's all like a foreign language to me. Sure, give me some time to sit and think it through and I can piece together all of the "they did this, so he felt like that, which made her feel this way, and their friends do such and such to cause action X and reaction Y and then ultimately a solution Z." But put on a movie that weaves a complex story line within the intricacies and ambiguity of human emotion and subsequent decisions, and I'll simply try to enjoy the special effects and cinematography and sort it all out later.

I'm not dumb, either. IQ of 150+ (HEY LOOK AT ME). Successful in my field. Always near the top of my class. I can learn anything that is based on logic, technology, and/or tangible, defined sets of rules. And i usually pick it up pretty quickly.

Even this message is challenging to write as I struggle to identify my own emotions, motivations, and layers of consciousness. Anyway, carry on.

Oh wait, this wasn't the anonymous confessions thread?

I don't understand.

 

[Hov34]

You have the autism.

[johnnycakes]

You may be aspergian.

As your IQ goes to either extreme, the number of people that you can communicate effectively with decreases. Grady Towers developed the idea of an effective communication range of +/- 30 IQ points from your score. At 150, that leaves about 10% of the population. At 140, it's about 25% and and 180, it's only 0.1%.

 

[Cjw_55106]

I believe over 145 is closer to 1%

You may be aspergian.

Very well could be.

 

[BillyBarooo]

Ok, give me your elevator pitch. I am really just tired of not understanding people as it causes significant issues in my personal and professional life.

 

[Raider Nation]

They're the worst!

 

[jamny]

Bazinga!

 

[chet]

I wasn't referring to the % of the population with that IQ--I was referring to the % of people you can effectively communicate with if you have that IQ.

Not quite to that extent. But in a similar vein. While I can usually see what's coming, I just don't understand why so many people allow themselves to be ruled by their emotions. I know smart people who when faced with a decision make the wrong decision time after time. And it's almost always because they react emotionally.

I can answer that b/c i used to be one of those people. I barely understood my emotions let alone those of others. So, when faced with a decision that was presented using tone, content, or inflection intended to stir emotion, I always let raw emotion take over. Overriding the logical response that I knew to be appropriate. The emotional response ran amok because I had no way to understand it and control it.

Luckily that is one thing I've learned to do. Identify, categorize, and then correctly place my initial emotional response into the array of actual and possible responses. Giving me a good deal of control over it most of the time.

yes, I'm quoting and replying to my own original post. what of it?

Actually doing it b/c there's another facet...I'm athletic, not bad looking, and generally popular back when that meant something. So I've been given every opportunity in life to be great with people, to have them want to be around me, and to genuinely like me. But I just can't do it and always end up trashing relationships (personal and professional). Like a kid riding a bike and the wheels slowly start to wobble and twist, eventually throwing everything and everyone around into a massive pileup.

 

[BillyBarooo]

I've never hit or hurt another human being. I feel tremendous guilt at almost all times. I apologize often. An most importantly I believe that truth is concrete and independent of what I or any other human being says.

So, no. I'm not a sociopath. Try again

[ConnSKINS26]

No, it's not.

That's not me calling you dumb.

It's just incredibly unlikely that you actually have an IQ of 176.

And having read a ton of your posts, it's even less likely.

I'm not positive you can spell 176.

You dont know anything about what an I.Q. is

As unlikely as it is that does not mean it isnt true

Online IQ tests aren't remotely accurate. I took one drunk in college at 3 am and got a 150.

Interesting quiz. I found that I had a few answers that are definitely the Autism-heavy answers but ultimately scored well below the autism range. Your score says "Autism likely".

If I am going to risk eating your shorts there has to be a range. An I.Q test can vary by several points each time a person takes one.Its also been 20 years which includes some potrntial brain damage. How would you account for that?
