This only works if the "You" has decently high intelligence and isn't bogged down by poor social skills.
I agree though. On social media, one or two replies in a thread is all that's needed to figure out if someone is a mindless golem or is thoughtful/has an active mind.

you can't tell this if you yourself are low iq, at least not without significant effort, but one way to do it is if you hate or dislike the person, if they stay rent free inside your head then they're probably more intelligent than you are, if you are within that range, it should be easy to tell

Not remotely true.
Very smart people often either struggle socially or purposefully distance themselves.
After 1 minute of talking to a very smart person you probably will be able to tell barely anything about them at all.
Meanwhile a very charismatic person will likely be good at faking outward intelligence in these short bursts giving people a much more favorable impression at first glance.
High quality deception itself takes a certain level of intelligence but certainly not a genius level.

That's because of my superior genes

Because my community is homogeneous and its members have superior genes.
Period.

yeah, that's not really true. their social skills are mostly dependent on the environment in which they were raised. a lot of people think that because no one likes them they must be smart. no, you're just not a likeable person, period. when i was doing my bachelors the smartest undergrad had actual social skills and was a pretty cool guy and the midwits who thought they were smart did not. and that was mainly because their parents spent their entire lives telling them they were smarter than everyone else so they were basically just sperg retards.

What if they never had access to any textbooks?

Well then it doesn't answers OP's question about IQ does it?

alternatively pic related ships $50 from Amazon, less if you get an older edition
>Well then it doesn't answers OP's question about IQ does it?
It does because a person with at least 130 IQ will just buy the textbook, read it, do the problems and learn calculus as I suggested above.

Ask them what a "UFO" is. If they say anything remotely having to do with aliens, they're a fucking midwife. Correct answer is, "unexplained visual phenomena in the sky" or similar.

Just ask them if they use AI. If they say 'yes', then you'll know they are most definitely under 130.

questions drift and ricochet through the mind like wayward birds, arriving in jittery flocks—some sharp and insistent, some soft as dandelion fluff—each one carrying its own small ache or gleeful mischief, and each one demanding an answer that may be a neat, varnished thing or a half-stitched patchwork of guesses, memories, and borrowed phrases; answers, when they come, often stumble in wearing borrowed clothes from previous conversations, picking up the dust of assumptions and the scent of context, so that what feels like clarity is sometimes just a rearrangement of familiar pieces, and sometimes a new, startling arrangement that briefly shines before the next question tiptoes in and overturns the arrangement entirely, revealing new corners of ignorance to sweep, new curiosities to feed, new uncertainties to cradle like fragile glass—so that the whole enterprise becomes a kind of slow, noisy art: one question begets another like dominoes or like rings in water, and the answers circle outward, overlapping, colliding, contradicting, consoling, provoking, until the room is full of voices, colors, half-remembered facts and sudden certainties, and you realize that the point was never to end the conversation but to keep it moving, to trade the stillness of absolute knowing for the warm, unpredictable hum of asking and answering and asking again: "what about moose and squirrel?"

Is there anything more pathetic than being obsessed with other people's perception of your own intelligence?
Every person posting about "midwits" everywhere and talking about IQ is clearly obsessed with being perceived as more intelligent than others.
Seems like a mix of narcissism, insecurity, and trying to make up for other self-perceived shortcomings.

>inb4 fake and gay
but I was in a program for kids who scored +3SD on the GATE test (regular GATE classes are +1-2SD depending on area and the upper percentile list of the test given).
Knowledge is not really a great metric, so meme answers like "solve an integral" or recite a fact. The students were actually pretty diverse (personality-wise) and I wouldn't say there is any personality tell either; some were conscientious striver types and others laid-back.I think the single trait that they shared was that you basically had no concern about miscommunication with them: I feel the average person tends to misunderstand things (including from each other) and I would say this basically didn't happen with these people. Even if they were unfamiliar with something, they could ask the right questions and identify what they didn't know. There was one high-functioning autist, who was somewhat of an exception to this due to social skills.

>What do you think about Daylight Saving Time? Why?
Their answer to the first question doesn't really matter but their answer to 'why?' is usually enough to judge their intelligence and several other personality attributes.

Ask them how to solve a problem. Seeing people problem solve in action is a pretty decent gauge of their intelligence. Unless you're interviewing them for a job or something, not that much reason to want to know, like I don't care about how much someone can bench unless we're talking about it in casual conversation.

what? how the fuck are they even suppose to solve this problem if they don't even know what an integral or derivative is

I have met someone like that. We didn't fall for the sandbagging, it became clear that this was a brighter bulb than the average. Admittedly, it took a bit more than a minute. It was just all the small things such as never needing to ask for explanations, a tendency to quickly and correctly work out new things from basic principles, extending ideas in new directions, learning new languages in 2 months, picking up new skills way faster than the rest.
