Scott Douglas Jacobsen: You’re one about it, but there are many others that make it seem as if they aren’t but they are.
Rosner: There’s some of that.
Jacobsen: Some? How about most?
Rosner: Well. There’s a bunch of stuff tied up in that. I’ve taken 40 homemade IQ tests. Most of which are just super crazy hard, but I’m generally only going to tell my scores that are my highest from the 190s to the 200s. I’m not going to tell you the ones where I half-assed it or where the test kicked my ass.
So, I’m going to go around and say I’ve got an IQ of 199 because one time I got a score of 199 on one of these tests. And there’s some people who scored like that and scored 180s and 190s and that was close to the ceilings of the test they took — and they may give themselves 5 extra points because they hit the ceiling like “Yea, there was a test that could have measured five points higher then I would’ve taken that test.”
