It measures how smart you can become not how smart you actually are

“Ninety nine point Ninety nine percentile“
That’s why she’s a LITERARY genius and not a mathematician

This girl: I have studied Shakespeare

Also this girl: *gets eliminated during the literature and fine arts round*

BlahBlah-bbrl

That girl is really pretty and she seems really nice but, I think that her mother is the one pushing her to do this stuff. The mother is convinced that her daughter is a genius(maybe is really is) but, this thoght of superiority and excessive uniqueness is prohibiting her daughter from having a normal childhood. These parents should stop exploiting their kids and let them live a normal life.

She was a novelist? 6000 words is only about 30 pages. I completed NaNoWriMo as well and won with my novel having 50, 000 words. She is by no means a literary genius

Her name spelled backwards is Siri. Does that mean that she is the next Siri?

She's so beautiful and she sadly got eliminated, but Iris is so smart and outgoing, love her.

For someone claiming to know a lot about Shakespeare, she can't even get one of his most famous lines correct. She clearly doesn't understand Shakespearean English at all. She misquoted Shakespeare.

The line is "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" But she said "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou?" That's an unfinished sentence. Her misquoted version means "Romeo, why are you?" which makes no sense.

Why are you WHAT?

It's a VERY common mistake for uneducated people to assume that "wherefore" in older English means "where" in modern English

In fact, "wherefore" is an old-fashioned word for "why". If you don't understand old-fashioned English, you shouldn't be quoting Shakespeare, because you clearly have no idea of the real meaning of the words you are quoting.

Juliet wasn't calling to Romeo and saying "Where are you, Romeo?" She had no idea Romeo was even there. She was talking to herself, and saying "Romeo, why are you Romeo?" She meant "Why did he have to be born into THAT family?"

Ok this is all very well and good but... my IQ's also 144, I also like shakespeare, I play the violin, I go to a selective school but I'm like the most childish little girl you could possibly meet! I like to go and run around and roll in the dirt with my friends, I like dressing up, painting and drawing, being random and silly, I could go on.
So please, don't use the generalisation of people with high IQ's being hyper intelligent (because some people with high IQ's aren't super clever, albeit not me) or being impeccably mature.
Thank youuuu!
