Congratulations with the effort to be a human. A lot of people are just plain animals. Another question: how do you look for other people, who are emphatic and clever? Because I often was simply annoyed by people who don't care how the person next to them feel, what's happening to that person. There are people who try to get a connection to dysfunctional ones, but after some time they get tired. How much you encourage nice people to connect to you: smile, eye contact, reply. Also try to learn to understand body language, for that is good to go abroad, where you don't know the language, therefore have to read the faces and gestures more. And keep in mind, that everyone (99%) of people are in pain, the QUESTION is : which kind they are: those who give others pain, because they are themselves in pain, or those, who think its enough of that pain, let's do something nice for each other.

Try it if you don't believe me.

The very bad people say, that they are good the most often. I think I just will go trust body language of others, it communicates 90% of information anyway. And don't tell me that moodiness and aggressiveness are not dysfunctional low IQ people traits, because those who are the worst don't want to be recognized. The priests want the best for you, the teachers in public schools as well, abusers parents also. The statement, that majority of people are good is made up by bad people so that they could abuse us more and you would run around naive and defenseless. If someone doesnt want others to know the traits of bad people, the questions is why? By the way I am already using the aggressiveness trait. Saw a moody women looking at me at the street , and few minutes after that she was shouting at the toddler next to her. It works! Anyone have good ideas how to recognize dysfunctional and low IQ people fast, let me know!

I decided to stand by this trait as indicator: Aggressiveness (including being impolite, ignorant, rude, snarky etc.) Couldn't find any better.

Moodiness Is the best trait of dysfunctional people. My neighbour is often moody and he screams hard at his crying toddlers like 3 times a day. I wish i could call social services, but then the neighbour might lie about my family to the same services. It is easy to understand who called, when we are the closest neighbours. Ps I didnt found anything at Mensa website about traits, maybe somebody has a link.

I am looking for signs to use in daily life, not to have to go to some meeting 2 times a year. I want to know if the the shop assistant or my future manager is just stupid, nuts or smart. Simple lists with simple things to check. Thats the idea.

Ok, I agree with curiosity. Also could add fast thinking, putting out a lot of ideas at once. Somebody who hears what the other person is saying and manages to react properly. Also ignorance looks like stupid people trait. Moody people: disfunctional, not smart. P.S. I am not aiming for people with IQ 130 or more. I just cant manage to keep straight face and be sincere with people of 100 and below, usually they find my ideas too shocking. I had couple entrepreneurs friends, they said it straight to me, that I was interesting to talk with. And 1 psychologist said, I had a talent to make a group of people to feel very cosy and friendly together. My goal is to sort fast stupid people and smart ones. Dysfunctional and normal ones as well. As someone says IQ is not important, but if I am about 115, I need people to talk above 100 and lower than 130, because higher I will not understand myself.

I have heard Stefan talking many times, that high IQ people usually have strong empathy, so I will not discuss it here. I am interested in high IQ people, because high IQ and low IQ when the difference is a standard deviation or more, don't understand each other. And I would like to find more high IQ people to talk to, and its very useful in daily life to know what kind of person you are dealing with. In the book "The science of evil" Appendix 2, are given the signs of zero empathy people, some of them my mother has, my father not, but they got married because of unexpected pregnancy: *uncontrollable anger (I called it aggressiveness) *unstable relationships (like many short ones) *substance abuse *dieting *excessive spending *extreme mood swings and so on... Try to fit it to your family.

I am looking for a high IQ person, who maybe knows the signs. And I am talking about the majority in our nowadays society, not the exceptions. Like blacks with IQ 85 do the most crimes, and you cant have democracy if the population IQ is lower than 90. Like if you go into a room full of people, how to spot the smart ones and the stupid ones fast?

How on daily life to divide easily people into high IQ/emphatic and low IQ/no empathy? What signs would you prescribe to each category? I need a list easily to use on everyday situations. At the moment i have only few shortcut signs. Low IQ people: *was aggressive more than once *is not interested in people around them High IQ people: *straight, interested, scanning eye contact *almost no aggression in the past If you can share some ideas, would be nice!

The state is killing us. Slowly...

To put it short: the same difference as between symbionts and parasites. Symbionts and the host flourish together in two way exchange, which is beneficial to both parties. Parasites kill their host. That's what people on welfare do as well. In long term they extinguish hardworking smart high IQ people. And then parasites die together with the host. Sorry, if it sounds very dramatic.

How was it with Eastern Europe in early 1990s... Everybody lost their all life savings (sometimes savings of 40-30 years) because of inflation. Its very difficult for people aged 70 suddenly to have to earn money . I suppose to much rubles were printed. I never heard about currency which doesnt go into market once it is proclaimed to be currency. Government makes money, gives it to banks, and then money disappear? No, one way or another they get into the market, and put prices up. But here is a tendency that they concentrate on certain things: then you get bubbles like housing bubble, stock market bubble, healthcare costs bubble, education fees bubble. In Eastern Europe they got new limited printed currency after ruble, and those were quite stable. And I do believe those countries did not have foreign debts because they got free from Soviet Union. Future generations might not have to pay the debts of their parents, but they still will lose money having to pay for their parents food and shelter who lost their life savings. So if someone doesnt have children, he will lose all life savings and have to live in the street.

Best way to get rid of unemployment, is to make a law that all holes in the ground have to be digged out with a spoon.

Its a tool, depends how you use it. I know 5 couples from internet dating, 4 of them I think still are together after 10 years. And I know 2 stories, about women being to lose, and things going not so good.
