My uncle says he is so brilliant cause he works on wall street and my teachers boast about there degrees, yet i have shown that even i know more about there subjects than they do. I believe they feel threatened or jealous. On to my solution, what do i do? I have asked others this question, but answers i have heard are all from people with low intelligance or apparently being people pleasing. How should i cope with this situation?

hey, you sound cool! it would be really hard to go through life with that high of an IQ. don't exacerbate it by showing off, though. i have an iq of 130, so i can't quite compare. but i would find some intelligent people to hang out with, and just basically ignore your insecure teachers and uncle. some day, you'll show them that they're suspicions were correct! but remember not to be condescending. good luck!

How could you quite possibly have an IQ that high and not use capitalisation properly?
I have an IQ of 134. I am considered to be way above average. If you in fact do have an ID of 170+, why are you asking questions on Y!A and not brewing up something ingenious?
Sorry, honey, but I think what ever IQ test you took lied to you. Even if it didn't, you may want to lose the ********* and grow up a little.

If you think you know so much, then you should be there boss or have there job.... Seriously your IQ is maybe 78 in real life.. You need some as I say street IQ....I think you letting your score run your life....Dont always try to put people down with your IQ or make them look bad. If you are as smart as you claim, you will prove yourself when the time comes with a good job and wealth!!! Until then just sit back and plan your next move in life....

No, don't tell them you're IQ unless they ask. There's more to intelligence than IQ. That doesn't measure common sense. If you cop a smarter than thou attitude, they will treat you worse. You have to know how to get along with people. Trying to show up your teachers is not going to win you friends. They deserve your respect.
There are many things you can do with an IQ of 170. Be the best you can be, but just don't let it go to your head (no pun intended).

I unfortunately am in the same boat as you. I am intelligent yet I get people talking down to me quite a bit. I think many of them feel threatened somehow, have low self-esteem, or perhaps they think they are better than others and talk down to everyone. It may be hard, but perhaps you could seek out places where intellectuals go, and get a small circle of friends who are on your level. Once you know you have a group of intelligent people to lean on, it will be easier to deal with the down-talkers in your life.

a high IQ means that you are intelligent, but you have to know how to use the intelligence properly, and proving that other people are not as smart as you is not the proper way. have you ever heard the saying book smart and street smart, well you are book smart but not street smart

What makes you think you have an IQ of 170+ ?
IQ tests are notoriously unreliable...
There are lots of homeless bums with high IQ's...
IQ means nothing....It is an indicator of potential...
Don't get carried away with yourself...
Are you rich yet ?
There have been several people who are self made millionaires
before their 18th birthday...

i think you should know the answer to your question. use that 170+ quotient. or maybe this only goes to show that IQ and EQ are truly miles apart. peace.
