He obviously has taken other IQ tests, not just one in a magazine. LOL! And also, his CHILDHOOD ventures makes him 100% a genius in my opinion. How many of you could instinctively know the name of objects around you, or have a complex understanding of syntax at the age of 3? Regardless of how high this mans "IQ" is, you simply cannot deny the fact that is he a genius, or at least has superior intelligence to the vast majority of the population.

If you instinctively know the names of objects around you, I think you must be the Kwisatz Haderach. Most of us have to hear someone say them first, or at least read them.

Wait, did that guy just steal me 20 minutes of my life because of a fucken 3-digit number? That retard believes in god and claims himself to be a genius because of a 3-digit number, screw him! I'm pretty sure I once knew a dog who was smarter than him.

He has 200+ IQ, and complains that he has to work in a bar because of monetary issues?

If you ask me, he's incredibly stupid if this is truly the case. He's been gifted with incredible problem solving, memory, visualization, and so on, and yet, with all these tools, he cannot do anything meaningful with his life, and cannot find a way to make ends meet without bouncing? What a fucking joke.

I'm 19, nowhere near 200+ IQ, haven't really ever had any brilliant ideas, and assuming I had no loans to pay off from college and dropped out, I could easily make ends meet without having to work in a violent environment. If he really hates being a bouncer as much as he says, he could easily get a security job anywhere else, for at least as much, if not more, money. And anyone who has ever worked security knows it's probably the easiest job to sit and think about shit and do whatever else you want all day.

He's basically just socially inept and jaded, partially due to being extremely arrogant, and partially because of his upbringing.

This, and all other posts in this thread like it only prove that people typically have no idea what IQ is, what it means, or why it's important.

IQ is a measure of cognitive development vs. chronological development. An IQ of 200 is incredible. It doesn't mean he's a prodigy, or that he can count grains of sand on a beach in four seconds, or that he can calculate "pi" out to 200 decimal places in his head.

It's a ratio between his chronological age and an estimate of where he should be cognitively.

He either was told not to go into detail any of his thought processes because this was an average TV show with average viewers who would probably find a highly demanding program very boring and immediately switch -OR- he really is not as smart as he (or others) claims to be.

I mean he's obviously smarter than an average person but after watching all three videos I really am not feeling the "omg this guy is so smart his intellectual prowess is forcing me to my knees i feel totally useless in his presence" thing. I had a few math teachers who were -in my experience, having lived 19 years- the smartest people i've ever met. I had a math teacher who would be writing on the board then it gets to a point where two double digit numbers needed to be multiplied and he could do it in his head. sometimes even triple digit multiplied by double digit. another teacher was pretty good at chess and would take a look at my chess game and say "5 moves to checkmate" then walk away and this one time i called bullshit cuz i thought no way he could know that then he showed me exactly which moves to make to checkmate the other guy and then went back and explained every other possible move that could have been made and why it would result in checkmate as well. i was literally speechless.

this Langan guy didn't even come close to that. he seems like the kind of guy who has too much freetime and just sits and lets his brain churn away. given enough time to think about certain things he gets there but in no way is he a "genius".

last two things I would like to point out that have been bugging me and I think is fundamentally the flaw here.

1) the test he did came from a magazine. and EVEN IF he did a "real" IQ test, to me it's still just an indicator of how good someone is at doing the specific "IQ test shit" like number patterns, shapes etc.

2) and this has been reeeeeaally bugging me. how. in a FLYING FUCK could he NOT get ANY other job than a fuckin.

bouncer.

a bouncer? thats his JOB?

sorry but im really not buying it.
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

You're a moron for insulting other people's understanding of what IQ means when you yourself have no clue whatsoever. This meaning of results of an IQ test is the one originally used, and is still used for children.

For adults, however, IQ has nothing to do with mental age/chronological age. IQ for adults is an indication of where you sit on a bell curve of adults taking the IQ test.

Stop making ignorant as hell statements.

He doesn't believe in God on a religious level, you clearly did not understand the video or pay any attention to it. The only person who looks dumb here now is you.

perhaps he just knows something we dont, perhaps money isn't worth it to him and the other benefits he got from being a bar bouncer outweighed the monetary gains. thinking in his ivory tower was satisfying enough to him. also recently he has gotten more notoriety and has a foundation that supports highly gifted individuals.
