It was hard as the child had high functioning Asperger. With great effort the child was encouraged in social clubs and sports, like social swim club. 20 yrs down the track this girl has grown up and managed to have a happy family and works in financial world and is doing very well.

@Zane Grey I think Edison was an opportunist with above average intelligence 🤔 . He was money 💰 driven and Tesla had no love for money which was probably why he didn't look to profit from his work. If Tesla had had a bit more love of the coin and worked on the production and profit 📈 aspect of invention he'd have put Edison in the shade. I've read somewhere Tesla financed Edisons electricity production using Teslas discovery of the alternating current rather than Edisons belief he'd discovered the secret of viable electricity production using direct current. Didn't he Edison build massive stations for production of electricity which were not sustainable. Whereas Tesla's Alternating Current was a viable option. Tesla died alone in a Hotel. The social aspect of his personality was lacking like Sir William in this story. Parents who work in jobs and leave their children to stew are negligent in the core aspects of parenting which is a feeling of security that a child needs.

Well, you can't test Socrates, as he was opposed to the idea of writing down ideas, instead being a conversationalist -- attaining a "disciplined conversation". He also believed it is "weakening the necessity and power of memory, and for allowing the pretense of understanding, rather than true understanding." "It is a discourse that is written down, with knowledge, in the soul of the listener; it can defend itself, and it knows for whom it should speak and for whom it should remain silent." "He [Socrates] worried that reliance on writing would erode memory (it has!), but also, and maybe more importantly, that reading would mislead students to think that they had knowledge, when they only had data." "When told that the Oracle of Delphi had revealed to one of his friends that Socrates was the wisest man in Athens, he responded not by boasting or celebrating, but by trying to prove the Oracle wrong." Socrates was truly an incredible man. I'll see about Epicurus also.

Keep in mind an IQ of 100 is the average IQ. Just mathematically, it is not very possible. There was a lady a few years ago claiming to have an IQ of 210. She wrote books and gave lectures.

This reminds me. At high school I’m in the math team and one of my teammates is named Alan, who is so smart that I can’t think of words to describe it. He took Precalc in 8th grade AP Calculus in the 9th grade. And I thought it was impressive for me to take Algebra 1 and 2 in the 7th and 8th grade. And even besides math, he took all the honors and AP classes available to him. I highly doubt his iq is below 150 and I highly doubt he won’t become famous like Albert Einstein for his big brain. He is a high school senior now and he’s getting my vote for homecoming king.

[@emiliopradillo]

I dont agree with comparing smart people from back in the day and someone from now. You may ask yourself why? Well there's many factors like the internet, smartphones, AI, Smart Cars, foods and vitamins they didnt have back then. There's literally hundreds of resources they didn't have. So I dont think it's fair to compare the old with the new.

When my parents realized how brilliant I was, they purposely DIDN’T put me in Harvard so I could fit in with kids my age. I, too, wrote a letter at the age of 8. I think it was an I, then I moved on to L. I’ve really had to work to keep my accomplishments low, but seeing how unhappy this fellow was, I think I’m on the right track.

One thing to learn. We should learn and study with our age ... Mozart learnt music by 2 but died unhappily at 35 only. Learning early doesn't give friendly childhood joy ... just pressure and disappointment 😞 . Playing Chinese whisper and 21 with friends and pantsetting people is much better for us

[@6teezkid]

Definitely “on the Spectrum” and it being woo years ago, nobody had a clue what that was/is. Very sad to be so isolated, to not understand other’s social cues, and to have a mind that nobody can else can relate to. Some gifts can be a curse like that. At least he knew how to write and could put his own thoughts and ideas on pen to paper. It was probably his solace.

I just knew that my IQ si above average. No wonder I don't really get along with people. My IQ tested 147 to 147, really thought it's normal. I get along well with my boyfriend, he has 150, whenever we get bored, we talk about things that no one could understand. I found comfort in him. I never thought anyone would like to bond with me because I'm too smart. All my life, I've been studying, I kept and kept on studying, I study more on politics, astronomy and literature. Exams on my age never exites me, I could ace them all. Because of my intelligence, Iearned to control people. I was so smart that I could fool anyone I want. I really thought I have the world on my hands but no. Many envied me, I'm beautiful, talented and smart. I regretted all of what's happening with my life, it's not only about intelligence. I didn't had the chance to enjoy my childhood because my brain is craving for more learnings. I never learned to interact and make friends. I'm thankful of my bf, he never makes me feel that I'm alone nor I'm crazy. : )

[@RickPMandel]

When I was very, very young, there were a number of folks that thought I should have been in High School at 8 years old, and college by 10 My father would have absolutely none of it. He had believed putting me in that position would stunt, if not destroy any semblance of a social life; I'd be smart, sure, but I'd have no way to relate to anyone. He also thought I'd be used. (He was right) So, I went through school like anyone my age. If we were learning a subject I liked or was interested in, I'd destroy the curve (sorry guys) On other things I was ambivalent, I did just enough to pass; my thoughts elsewhere. I was asked more than once how smart I was, and my answer has always been the same; "as smart as I needed to be". Don't get me wrong, being really, really (one more) really smart has its advantages, it can also be very lonely. I'd rather be "normal" with great throngs of friends and adventures, then to be someone who has an easy time with ideas, but no real grasp of people skills

[@ehfoundation4700]

What is really important is one's own happiness; to be happy with one's self, what they do and get out of life. People do not appreciate other people's intelligence. People care most about themselves. Veritas!

[@MrPlankinton]

Aptitude Quotient (A.Q. the Ability to learn) is a better measure for intelligence because a person living in the jungle may be more intelligent than a mathematician. While I.Q. examines accumulated knowledge of geographical history and social normative aspects of the individual.

[@marks6663]

IQ has nothing to do with knowledge. Ever taken an IQ test? It measures only your ability to see patterns.

[@chant2day]

But William Sidis did get married. He married Sarah Mandelbaum a highly motivated person like him. They had two children Billy and a daughter born April 1, 1898. From the 1st days in his crib the infant was taught to be a prodigy. His father dangled letterblocks before his eyes and he and he knew his alphabet by the time he was six months old. So I guess his whole life wasn't gloom & doom.
