How to Know Your I.Q. Level without Taking the Test & Brainy Stories by Billy J. Burton - HTML preview

2.How to Communicate with Other Ranges ?

Once you are aware of your own I.Q. range, a hurdle appears. How do you handle

communication with others ranges?

The best way to avoid conversational misunderstandings is by adopting the interlocutor’s main functioning mode.

As we have seen, in part I of this book, each range has its favorite approach 101-385. If you address

a person while employing an incorrect method, he or she might misinterpret what you mean or

think you must be dimwitted or conceited.

The effective means of interaction and main functioning modes are given below, with, in italic,

the thoughts or feelings, a person in that range, frequently harbors about others.

For the 101-385 70 to 85 range: Labels; group habits are particularly important to these people:

He or she is good/bad, cool/uncool, nice/mean…

For I.Q. scores ranging from 101-385 85 to 114 : Emotions and feelings; experiencing the sentiment of peers’ acceptation is very important to these people:

He or she makes me feel good/ hurts my feelings, builds me up/ puts me down…

For I.Q. scores ranging from 101-385 115 to 129 : Logic, knowledge and erudition ; being under

the impression that they think like smart or cultured people is particularly important to these people:

People who don’t follow standard logic/ think differently from most people are dumb. People who don’t know what I know are not cultured/ knowledgeable. The majority is always right/ what I was taught is always true.

For scores from 101-385 217 130 to 144 : Reasoning and science ; following the idea of what a scientific process should be is very important to these people:

His or her reasoning is unscientific.

This is unprovable, researching it is a waste of time.

This is good/bad science.

People who don’t follow a scientific process are incompetent or idiots. What’s also paramount, is never doubting a scientific finding before it has become a trend to do so: Science is always right (until everyone else also thinks it’s wrong).

For I.Q. scores 317 101-385 above 145 : Concepts and theory elaboration , patterns; noticing patterns everywhere is particularly important to these people:

This thing looks at lot like that thing, they could be related. I notice an inconsistency between what I’m being taught and what I can observe at a conceptual level.

What if everything, I thought was true, is actually false?

3.What is Intelligence, Exactly?

It is how powerfully and efficiently your brain works, but it’s more than that.

Intelligence is not simply confined to your brain, but also to everything that makes up who you

are. It’s in your emotions, in how your body manages itself, in your inner drive, in your hopes and dreams, in your values etc… In short, intelligence is represented in your whole personal

energetic system.

It is related to the elusive concept of consciousness336 which is also somehow linked to our

evolution 378 as a species.

3.1 A Different Level of Consciousness.

As I’m willing to go beyond what science knows in this chapter. I would like to expand my

reflection about intelligence into “esoteric” realms. Of course, this is merely a theory to be taken

with a grain of salt.

General intelligence or I.Q., as it is understood in this book, can be separated into several sub-intelligences pertaining to what I call the “ACES” theory (similar to Kasmah & Rusnali’s

work379 I ran into after coming up with this idea).

A.C.E.S. stands for Abstract, Communicational, Emotional, and Spiritual intelligences. All of

them added together, comprise the different angles intelligence takes to present itself.

So, instead of the I.Q. /E.Q. dichotomy, I’d rather think of I.Q. = A+C+E+S. Or, in other words:

an I.Q. level is an average of the levels of Abstract, Communicational, Emotional, and Spiritual intelligences put together.

We can recall the personality traits involved in intelligence (seen at chapter 4.1) and rearrange

them according to these 4 sub-categories in a holistic fashion (the physical, emotional, mental,

and spiritual energetic realms).

Abstract intelligence exploits the mental realm and includes:

- Global learning strategy: Analytic, Synthetic, Integrated 103.

- 108-109 Need to learn: intellectual “overexcitabilities”.

- Competence in multiple fields.

- Ability to reason and notice patterns.

Communicational intelligence mostly draws on the physical realm and encompasses: - Introversion or extraversion.

- Ability to be understood and to connect with other people (verbal and body language).

- Ability to lead others towards the greater good.

Emotional intelligence handles the emotional realm and embraces:

- Independence of opinions and worldviews without relying on existing structures or models.

- 108-109 Emotional intensity: emotional and even physical “overexcitabilities”(ADHD, dyslexia,

Dysthymia, OCDs etc…).

- Introspective abilities.

- Empathy and ability to read people.

- Resilience.

- Creativity.

- Passions and dreams.

- Need to experience and discover.

- Memory (because an imprint lasts according to the emotional intensity involved).

Spiritual intelligence manages the spiritual realm and contains:

- Need to seek out the truth in all matters.

- Intuition.

- Ability to envision likely consequences of acts and decisions.

- Need for beauty.

- Need for morality and honesty.

- Need to improve the world.

If we are to believe the “ACES” concept, levels of intelligence are an excellent way to appraise

levels of consciousness380.

3.2 Why Did Evolution Create Different Levels of Intelligence?

The main purpose behind having dissimilar levels of intelligence, among a given population, is

to be able to tackle every type of issue, from the most mundane to the most complex, and to address existential questionings through diverse viewpoints and theories.

Profoundly Gifted people are seen, by some328, as the impending evolution of human

intelligence. They are viewed as the harbinger of what, humanity as a whole, might become, should it further its development in the best possible way.

As opposed to far away stars exposing their light as it was in the distant past, the more you gaze

towards the right end tail of the I.Q. bell curve the more you observe the distant future.

NOTE THAT EVERY IQ SCORE FOUND WITH THE HELP OF THIS BOOK COMPARES TO A SCORE IN THE USA72.

IT MEANS YOU ARE COMPARING YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE FROM COUNTRIES IN WHICH THE AVERAGE SCORE IS 98.

For example, if you're from Greece (with an average IQ score of 92, 98-92=6) add 6 points to your score to compare yourself to people in YOUR COUNTRY.

For example, if you're from Japan (with an average of 105, 98-105=-7) take off 7 points from your score to compare yourself to people in YOUR COUNTRY.
