When it comes to active trading, I'm not sure that someone's overall IQ level matters as much as their fluid IQ & EI levels. Every public forum will have a wide variety of personalities. You just have to filter out the noise to find substance.
Go into your own profile and look under people you ignore...type my name in you idiot...let me know if you need help putting your trades on...

Guilty of this. Tested above 160 twice. Recognised poor self knowledge in 2016 and have been growing slowly since then. Good memory + general intelligence usually leads to shortcutting development of other skills, including introspection.
Code: find / -follow \( -type trader -o -type investor \) -print | xargs testIQ | perl -n -e 'use warnings; use strict; our $HIIQ; BEGIN { $HIIQ = $ENV{HIIQ}; } my ($trader, $iq) = $_ =~ /(.+)\s([\d.]+)$/; if (defined($trader) && defined($iq) && ($iq >= $HIIQ)) { print "$trader\n"; }' | xargs whereis
It could just be you have lower emotional intelligence. I do understand you stated since you have a high intelligence quotient, that you feel it made you short cut other areas... both could be true at the same time. Maybe the distinction doesn't really matter, but for example if I was really good at golf, but bad at basketball that doesn't mean the actual reason I am bad at basketball is because I am so good at golf.
Not sure about your premise, lentus ('lentus' as in French lent for 'slow' ?) — some of the best entries in ET are in discussions started by moronic OPs ...
