Hello Mr. Ford I watched you on my tv so am now here to ask you a question. First I absolutely needed to hear your message and will watch it more than once I am sure. Secondly, this is in no way intended to be criticism but a sincere question. Am I misreading your Mensa certificate? From here it looks like it says "....qualified for & become a Member of Mensa". Should it read 'qualified to become' or qualified for and became? I don't know if you already answered this question as I could not go through the many comments to this video. Thank you for truly generous advice. Reina

IQ is something a lot of people are insecure about, I just see it as one of the many defining qualities of a human being. I can become a member of Mensa but I don't really care to meet a bunch of people who make it their identity that they are a member. My stepfather was A member, a chess player and a self proclaimed philosopher, I had a lot of fights with him because he was always trying to unfairly debate me on something where there was a huge knowledge gap while I was trying to eat my dinner in peace. In the end my mom broke up with him because he is insufferable, although he framed that as my mom being intellectually inferior, because of course he did.

How come you believe that people can't increase their IQ up to your level? What do you mean when you say you have to bring your level of thought down to theirs and they can never bring their level of thought up to yours?

It's so nice to see somebody who has struggled to make social connections finally be able to make those connections like most of us do as children. It's actually quite heartwarming.

Good tips. However… Besides high score on an iq test, do you have any real achievements to justify calling yourself a genius?

you know I hang out with gifted people on the regular, ranging from the 130s to 150s in IQ and you straight up seem like an idiot who needs to massage his own ego with an online persona

thank you professor Ford , god bless

Why do you look stupid but smart?

Thank you.

Wtf is this lol

What have you produced?

8:57, 18:28 Attention span, working memory and improving syntax is what I need to be able to hold pieces of information long enough to digest them and think about them.

Thank you, I thought almost the same even if I'm way less smart than you to formulate it in such coherent and beautiful way. At the end of the day unconditional love is what makes a life worth living and so worth to be remembered.

Notes (Disclaimer: English is not my 1st language): The speecher has IQ in the 99.9 percentile and he believes that: -IQ can be almost always raised since the external context we grow up in is far from perfect. - to raise IQ you need a good foundation: - how to listen = arguing comes often from not listening to others. To be a good listener be active (i.e. shut down the internal voices in your head and ask questions). Through listening we can "steal" technical experience of people, so do it. While listening, suspend judgement (often the speaker justify a statement after he has made it, so let him explain to have a better idea of what is being said). Take notes (e.g. while talking with the doctor). -how to read INTELLIGENTLY= for everything you read consider always the source. Consider the age and the context in which the author is writing (age, historical phase, geography, gender). Ask yourself who published the material. Think about the date of publishing. -attention span= you want a good attention span because a good working memory it's a prerequisite for high level thougths. To do this: learn to be comfortable both in company and while alone (to do that you can create a good environment). Also, you need to have a very special interest where you reach a state of flow. Then apply this state of flow capacity to other things. -Diet= know how different foods affect you. Mental syntax= it is necessary to develop higher level thoughts. You need good grammar skills to think better. Vocabulary= most people think in words. The more nuanced your vocabulary the better your thoughts. Music & Math= both help develop mental syntax. Those 2 combined with language skills give you a very solid foundation Environment= you need a place where you can stay at peace with yourself (inside or outside your house). Give yourself time to daydream (the foundation of invention) and a space where you can hear your thoughts (society always wants to tell us what to think, learn to listen to yourself) Other people= get involved with other people as they know yhings that you don't. People change people. Great books= read great books . If you read good grammar you learn good grammar. Music= listen to classical music. Not all music is good for your mind. Museums= go to museums.

Soy yo o este tipo parece idiota ?

I'm surprised that you didn't mention physical fitness. I've found daily exercise gives me much more clarity and helps moderate excesses and deficiencies of energy levels. I suppose it could fall under "create an environment for yourself where you're able to think at the highest level" if the body is an environment.

This is a perfect example of how IQ and EQ are completely unrelated.

This was great listening to. I provide the described environment and tips for my children. They are educated at home, mostly outside by the pond.

I think writing a book might be a better format to convey these deep thoughts…

I think these advices are about how to live up to your true potential (rather than increasing iq). Still very useful!

I find it ironic that child members of Mensa are universally celebrated for their intellectual prowess - favorably depicted on television and in social media - but adult Mensa members are frequently characterized as feckless nerds and pretentious narcissists. At what age does being a member of Mensa cease being socially acceptable? 🤔

great advice

😮 it's almost everything I do since I was a kid. Thank you ❤

Thank you for share!

Thank your for share!

Thanks for your kind lies.

How are you? I miss your videos.

„Silence is the best way to be human.“ Thank you Jeffery - this is emotional IQ at highest level.

Very interesting. And so well adjusted (as far as I can tell from the little "data"), being that substantially "differenent" from basically "everybody". Sub. Best of luck from Germany!

I am so unimpressed with this lady. Why post? Goodness.

I was not able to join TNS but i managed to enter triple K society.

I think he said he has autism, and that the way up is down. Did you know the last one is insanity?

A Prophet who didn't create followers.

It is so amazing that business and industry are threatened by intelligent people. I can, with some confidence, assure you that intelligent people will have little impact on business and government. I have been fired twice for being correct or having a viable value system. Nation states are one of the few entities that have made no progress in 10,000 years.

This changes my perspective substantially. The topic related to checking source of Information is my favourite, because it changes my view on how I consume advice from people

Thankyou for sharing!

GOT enters the conversation

Other than nature sciences (even nature science also has been influenced by political correctness), everything is biased.

Thanks for this video, Jeffery. I had a bad speech impediment growing up. It's still there now, but it's much improved. I embarrassed myself a lot because of it. Saying things, I didn't mean to say, doing things I didn't want to do. What you have said about focusing on my good intentions and not the results will be helpful.

2:50 That is a perfect way of explaining it, people are all “capped.” People with high IQ’s are capped higher, so we have to be a bit “phony,” or however you want to put it. If you don’t “dumb yourself down,” a bit you will seem like a “smart ass,” or however you want to put that, so you are damed if you do and danced if you don’t, that’s a “paradox,” by the way. You may have just learned something but in a group of people I’d be considered a dork, pedantic or possibly just annoying- hence the knowledge wouldn’t have been spread. With a lot of stuff this “dumbing down,” can have more detrimental effects on society as well as the person him or herself. When you leave the Bill curve either to the left or right things get a bit more difficult, life is set up for average intelligence, obviously it’s just math.

Ironically, the huge sweatshirt he’s wearing makes his head look quite sure because it probably isn’t . People with high IQ’s tend to have larger heads.

Post more videos again, Jeffrey!!!

Hello, I want to add quick introduction: When I first started learning science, and that was without school begin only 100% self learning; I was self aware of my abilities. That was when I was 13, and I noticed to only play the game correctly, is to learn its mechanics. Learning to think is important! This is possible due to neuroplasticity, and youre going to know it once you achieve it. Although, I got a brain injury by acidentally hitting my self in the head which I think I have lost some of my cognitive abilites from it, and I hate that day till of my life.

are you a part of the intellectually elite secret society responsable for the Y2K secret coupe de tat? The ones who then held sway of every business government academic institution via "fixing " the computers.

I was in Mensa at 12 and Tiple 9 at 20. A master of psychology and cognitive perception. I'd be interested in having a conversation with you.

31 yr old electrician, thank you man

Jeffery Ford and Jeffery Bezos both look alike.

Most productive creativity is in the realm of 120 to 135 IQ. Maybe becomes a navel gazing contest later? Cat is happy sat on the rug. Maybe perfection is trending towards a cat and away from the dog, a social animal?

I am a member of the Triple Nine Society. I have graduate degrees from Johns Hopkins University (M.S. IT & Telecom Systems) and Stanford University (M.A. Political Science). I am a Program Manager, Principal at a nationally known systems engineering consulting firm. And I too suffer from impostor syndrome.

Thanks a lot Jeffery, that helped well.
