Whenever one gets into a debate with other workers, it seems almost invariably that someone says they have a High I.Q. and/or belong to Mensa. Most of the time however, reality and imagination or lies cannot fit into the same theater.
How many Einsteins down you know? I am sure quite a few.

Great question, SGM (Join to see)! Not only have I met know-it-alls at work ... I've met one or two here on RallyPoint. Geniuses all around; legends in their own minds!

CW5 Montgomery, wish I could claim the Q but someone beat me to it. I've known several military people who we could classify as genius, high Q/GT beyond 140..all but one thought they were smarter than the system and eventually bit the dust...one was probably the most amazing officer--but not many could stand him. I learned much from standing by and watching his behavior and the reactions of others.... It was very very difficult, but completely pointed me in a better direction.

PO2 Jonathan Scharff, no, not at all.
SGM (Join to see), I must have been asleep at the switch!
SSgt (Join to see), thank you for this question. I think it's a great one!

The second most commonly used pick-up line by infantrymen: "I have a 116 GT score".
Coming in first place: "I'm not your typical infantryman."
Lol everyone thinks they're a genius in the Army and it's usually based off of some absurd credentials.

SSG Woods...I suppose that is a genius in the Infantry? My dad, an SF Warrior, told me to join the Air Force if I wanted to be just another smart guy. Or join the Army where anyone could be a bona fide genius...but if I had known that sexy secret you just revealed a while back, I'd have been bragging about HAP scores = High Aptitude Potential. We had one fellow in my platoon we nicknamed Rooster...he was always strutting about. Another one we called Butterfly because he couldn't stay with one relationship very long. Rooster was Infantry; Butterfly Boy was a legal clerk. Think they married Lieutenants.

To bad their high IQ and GT scores don't translate into Street smarts and common sense lol. They are the smartest dumb people we will ever meet.

A high GT score does not make one a genius. Trust me, I have a fairly high score, and I am nowhere close to being a genius. Highly opinionated at times, but definitely not always right.

A long time ago I realized that initially there is very little between the idiot and the genius. Both, in the beginning make the same mistakes. The difference is that the idiot normally says "Hey, look what I did!" The genius realizes they did something stupid and does not make the same mistake again.
The reason I wrote that is so this makes more sense. IF you have to tell someone you are a genius, you're not! IF someone cannot figure out on their own that you know what you are talking about, then they will figure out just as fast that you don't.
