What are the UNDENIABLY REAL signs of giftedness?
I sought this community for real answers but got overwhelmed with the amount of flooded answers to/and validation-breeding questions. I hate to be overgeneralizing but I'm short on patience with the whole "OMG, me too!" fad and it's taxing to read through it all while the whole time seeing all the multiple possible motivations behind each post.
And when searching the internet, it's all the SAME FREAKING vague ass information that can easily be applied to anyone!!! And I even thought of medical professionals and they're really no help at all since diagnosing is more about proper medication and treatment of debilitating symptoms, in which case, the debilitating symptoms of giftedness can and probably are attributed to a number of other diagnoses that giftedness individuals receive. A medical professional has no motivation or reason to diagnose such things. For instance, the best assessment I received on my mental health was from a temporary doctor who put my whole life's problems into an ADHD lense that made sense and thus started my subconscious unmasking. She wanted to help and make sense of why I was failing so much when she was looking at a smart and deserving individual infront of her. It was after I demanded to see the official information on how medication works on the body before I took it, it's interactions, etc... despite not having proper medical knowledge.
Anyway, I didn't want to rant or make this long, it's just hard not to (I've actually worked extremely hard on condensing my language for the past six years). But I thought I'd come here and maybe find some telltale signs that the community goes by or some kind of test or something.
I want to know what kind of cognition I'm working with. I want to know where I REALLY stand on a scale when compared to society because I'm having trouble communicating every day. AI is a useless and full of validation fluff. I've actually constructed many complex experiments and processes to really test my own cognition but in the end, it's still my perspective which is unreliable because it's biased and doesn't speak for the entire group that I'm comparing it to in the first place.
I even took IQ test twice, but it was iq.com or something basic and noticed they're selling something. And the questions didn't change! I remember taking an IQ test when I was a kid, like 11 or something (i'm 34 now), and this one had hte same questions! If it's supposed to measure IQ, you can take it multiple times and get better scores, raising your IQ which seems to make the test a moot point!!! Like, am I crazy for thinking this or does it make sense? Has anyone else noticed this? I found other IQ tests online but I really really struggle with long tests, they burn my chest with overwhelming antsy-ness. my IQ, according to the site, was 121 (as a kid, I remember it being 120ish as well). However, my second time taking it maybe a year later or so, I got a 136. Actually, just now I just thought that I have been unmasking and thinking differently constantly so it might have really grown/unlocked but still, it's all still unmeasurable conclusions to me.
This is really long. Not my intention. Don't want to seem like "OMG it's soooooo frustrating being so intelligent and blah blah blah". I honestly just want to know if there's any REAL bullshit-free anecdotes, tests, rules of thumb, tests, observable markers, behavior patterns, inevitable consequences, etc, of a genuinely gifted person that filters out all of the vague non-helpful un-provable nonsense out there.
