Just for fun, the life of William Topaz McGonagall.
I actually quite like his poetry though.
The actual test she took was not standardized and was given unsupervised. And interpolating someone's actual score based on age is flawed. By her own admission, later in her life she retook a supervised test and scored 178 which is still quite high.
Also, the score, if I'm right, get pushed down a notch every now and then due to the average IQ increase of the general population. So even if it was corrected back then, it must've still been around 200
@@mr.boomguy The average IQ is set to 100 so it gets pushed down every few decades. For example, if the global average IQ was 150 for the past decade, that would be set as the new 100 IQ score. The increase in IQ is mainly because nutrition, better testing standards, and because developed economies naturally deal with complex issues which makes people think logically. So an IQ of 178 is still ridiculously high. Einstein had an IQ of 160.
Exactly what in the hairy underarmed feminist lies are they promoting
@jhpjhun I just tried to to simplify the answer. I did know about all the other reasons, also banning of certain elements and chemicals like lead that polluted the air. But other than that, I'm glad I was on the ball
Her real IQ is 134, not 178 🙄
At least this person didn't get royally screwed over by the media. She for the most part lived her own life, and where sure of the answers she replied even when she got hated on. Heck, she seemed like a excellent formulator answering 'not so hard' questions patiently when she could be burning up on the inside of how obvious it should be.
Right. Emailed her a few years back, congratulating her on her calm demeaner (I had seen her on this clip), and she emailed me back. I wasn't expecting that. I think that she's lived a good life, had a lot of fun. And solved more than a few problems. Not too much more than you can ask.
Intellect is different than wisdom.
can you elaborate ?
@@Some1Philosophywisdom is gained through life experience while intellect is how quickly you can understand certain subjects.
@@Some1Philosophy Intellect is what you know. Wisdom is what you do with what you know; how you apply what you know to reach certain cogent, at times, arcane conclusions.
I'm pretty sure intellect is an ability, not an abstraction for a group of information or size of information, we call a person an intellectual because their capacity of reason is one of their merits.
@@Some1Philosophy Fair response. It's largely semantics. One could argue knowledge is what one knows, wisdom is the application of knowledge. Intellect is somewhere in between. Or Intellect is the application of knowledge and wisdom is somewhere in between.
I remember ask Marilyn long time ago.
She was the most intelligent, and emotionally empathetic person you could imagine.
Intelligence is everything. Not just one side, but both sides.

The way Savant brilliantly pointed out that House and Senate majorities determined our fate surely as much as the party of the President at the time, got me thinking that the USA is actually one big Monty Hall Problem. To get the best odds I have switched to the Goat Party.
The actual best choice is to move out of the US if you are able to.
It's always interesting to me how peoples' attitudes are so different towards a male genius and a female genius...
How so?? Lol
Yes, isn't it interesting how we bend over backward to exalt female "geniuses" even when they're nothing of the kind.
She was a genius? She had an IQ higher than Einstein but made no significant contribution to humanity. In fact, that's such an ignorant statement, given how highly regarded Marie Curie was, and she had lower IQ than this lady, yet had so much to offer to the world of science. It's not the gender that matters, it's their contribution to society and its benefit that people care about
She is not a genius. Her achievements are pretty average. Darwin was a genius. What is the legacy of Marilyn vos Savant? No one knows her outside of the USA. She failed to use her brain.

Still astronomically high
Her real IQ is 134, not 178
Excellent job shining a light on this incredible person. Statistically and ethically, Marilyn had the right approach to her career choice. Her impact is more significant and less biased in her efforts toward humanity.
I think there is an easier way to explain the door problem. The host picks a door and it is a goat or anything else. Regardless, the probability of the host picking the car in any case is 1/3. If a goat is picked and the host recommends another door the probability of it being right is also 1/3. So, the probability of the other door being correct should be 1 - 1/3 which is 2/3.
IQ test scores show that you are good at IQ tests.
Enjoyed the video but where is she now in life and what is she doing?
“Miss Savant was given an old version of the Stanford-Binet (Terman & Merrill 1937), which did, indeed, use the antiquated formula of MA/CA × 100. But in the test manual’s norms, the Binet does not permit IQs to rise above 170 at any age. So, the psychologist who came up with an IQ of 228 committed an extrapolation of a misconception, thereby violating almost every rule imaginable concerning the meaning of IQs.”
She was a looker too, reminds me of Jennifer Connelly
There is no such as female logic! GOD I LOVE THIS WOMAN! you apparently have to be a gifted genius to recognize that fact.
"female logic" is not female-specific in reality, but as a description we all know what it means.
What she said about not having anyone to turn to really hit me. I've said things akin to this, many times over the years.
By her metric, there are approximately 12,000 people on earth who I could turn to. Thankfully, some of them are my friends.
Marilyn is in a uniquely solitary space.
It’s a lonely world indeed for deep thinkers.
IQ is a number that represents how well she did on a TEST. What was her SAT score? How many patents does she hold? Has she won the Nobel Peace Prize? What is her net wealth? She's obviously very smart and she looks it (hot too) but the Guiness Book of World Records is a dubious reference to the best human achievements in the history of the world.

IQ is pseudoscience, but she was still smart regardless
IQ is not Pseudoscience 🤡 just because you don't score high doesn't mean u should deny it. Give evidence why it's pseudoscience? And why are scientists, artists (especially the Renaissance ones), mathematicians, chemists, physicists and innovators+inventors always have higher IQ? They all share the same concept of a high IQ for a reason
Since she lived so long ago and her IQ was measured in that time, I wonder how if she was teleported to current times would score on an IQ test. Most people are unaware of the fact that average IQ scores have been *rising* consistently in at leas tthe last century ever since they were first measured. However, IQ tests works in a way so that it makes the average person score 100. However, to score an average IQ of 100 these days you have to answer more questions correctly than in the past. So IQ tests actual raw scores and the IQ score we give to them are constantly moving in the same direction, meaning a person with an IQ of 100 is a lot smarter than someone with an IQ of 100 50 years ago, since they made the tests harder even though you get the same IQ number. So in the last century our raw IQ scores actually have been rising with 30 IQ points, if you were to remove the adaptations they are constantly making to make IQ tests harder. This effect is called the ' flynn effect' , (where each generation scores _on average_ scores higher than the previous one if taking the test at the same ages). So since this woman lived 80 years ago, I wonder what her IQ would be now.
So basically you can not compare people's IQ if they were tested in a different period of time..
I perhaps had the lowest IQ in the schools that I had attended. But still, when in my 40's, I managed to independently derive the Special Relativity mathematical equations on my own, despite having dropped out of school and thus also having no prior physics education at all. So the point is, even though you have a nasty low IQ, that still can be misleading.
What did she contribute to society? Did she solve any real problems or invent anything?
lets say nothing. so what
Hard to do that at the time when she was a woman in a man's world.

@@noreply42069 Kind of a random place to post that, but ok.
@noreply42069 but did the people who took the test knew the real answers or just like that goat problem thought most of her answers were wrong
Logical thinking can cause the wrong decision if you have wrong or incomplete data and the tiniest detail can make a difference.
I'll be honest, I think David Letterman's question was good. You would think she would have been a bit more ambitious, but then I can only imagine the hurdles she may have faced.

@tagoldich I can believe it. Perhaps they were motivated by something other than scientific curiosity?
It doesn't really matter. IQ is a number and a construct. It measures how good you are at solving man-made puzzles. It is more important to resolve natural puzzles, for which there may not be a solution.
She was IMO, exceptionally bright, probably bright enough for celebrity status.
Thank you.
If there’s a way to test for the lowest IQ, I’m sure I may surpass the lowest score….😭I’m so dumb/unintelligent always struggling even on what normal people call common sense I seem not have it either. Anyway, I admire those intelligent people.
Just the fact that you can speak and type and use correct grammar puts you over the least 15%, believe me. There are some people on UA-cam who are genuinely scary, I mean I get actually scared that I could be in danger simply by them knowing I exist. Ex-cons, those involved in the oc pause cult, (I'm not even going to type the entire word) - I saw one video where I genuinely considered if the 'people' were 100% human. So you are just great, feel good, have a great day. 🙂🙂

Recognize that you're responsible for your reality, however subjective. You can subconciously speak good to your mind. In other words, speak kindly to your unconscious mind for the kind of concious perception of reality you want and recognize that intelligence is influenced by multiple factors, including environment, education, and indeed genetics (look up multiple intelligences; applies ot everyone) to name a few; intersecting. but nothing is more powerful than what you BELIEVE about yourself. It took me a while to learn this but it's a unique journey worth going on with compassion for oneself.
@@Diddancing ….Thank you very much for your suggestion, I appreciate it. Perhaps, the remanence or left over experience(s) school and life that some how left me to believe and even feel very stupid or not intelligent enough to overcome or excel in life. But thanks again for your words. 🙏🏻
"she would have pursued a career as a politician". This mentality alone solidified her as a grift. Anyone who views being a politician as a career is an immediate red flag. Plus her dismissive attitude towards pursuing other careers is telling.

If anybody has a convincing explanation. Plz do let me know how IQ is measured and exactly what it stands for.

Or, it is #1, but the host is trying to throw you off, or he's trying to make you think he is trying to throw you off. Math doesn't work here. It's still going to be wherever it is. Logic doesn't change it. If you were really good at reading people, you should try to read the host.
Yup, it can be no.1 too, but, accd to maths, the probability says than you'd better switch(which makes sense). But really, even it's absurd to be if revealing the other doors really does change the probability? well, im no maths genius to know that.
