You can always tell which people took an "IQ test" (most of them probably even just did some bullshit online thing and not even a real one) and have nothing else going for them but a number that they think tells people they're smart.

Yeah, about online tests, I've taken it twice in the olden days, once I got a result (probably due to connection problems) fitting a rock, and once I got something egghead high (probably due to the same).

And I've never met people mentioning their IQ test results as an argument other than what you said.
