That kind of line is usually social-media praise bait, not a meaningful evaluation of intelligence.
A few things are often going on with posts like that:
- Vague “trick” → could be anything (a life hack, a misleading health tip, a shortcut that isn’t actually new)
- Emotional framing → “incredibly high IQ” is used to make you respect it before you even know what it is
- Engagement hook → it pushes curiosity so people click, comment, or share
🧠 About “high IQ” claims
Real intelligence isn’t measured by clever-looking internet tricks. It’s usually reflected in things like:
- problem-solving ability in real situations
- consistency and accuracy over time
- understanding consequences and limits
Many viral “genius tricks” are actually:
- rebranded old ideas
- oversimplified science
- or just marketing gimmicks
⚠️ A good rule of thumb
If something is introduced with:
“Whoever thought of this is a genius / high IQ”
…it’s usually trying to borrow credibility without showing evidence.
If you want, you can show me the actual “trick” they were referring to—I can tell you whether it’s genuinely clever, misleading, or just recycled content.
