speak about themselves the way I heard him speak today. Mensa members do not sit around and brag to each other about their IQs, because everyone there is smart. They are there to socialize with people who are like them.
People do have parents who buy their way into Ivy League schools for their children. Apparently trump's daddy bought an Ivy League admission for his dullard son. Also, some people are taken as legacies. If they flunk out, oh well.
If a person scores 132 or above on the Stanford-Binet, they are a genius.
Photographic memory is a controversial area. Some children can have what is called eidetic memory, but it fades over time. Very few adults have what could be termed a photographic memory. There is hyperthymesia. But that is very specific, autobiographical memory.
A person can take an IQ test more than once, and have different results. Age plays a factor too, if you are talking about Stanford-Binet. There are other types of IQ tests, as you mention in your OP. The Miller Analogies test is an IQ test. Mensa accepts the results of that test for admission.
When I was a kid I was given IQ tests three times. I refused to take any more after that. I was starting to feel like a lab rat. The reason I/we were tested so often is that our class was tracked. Not only that, we were supposedly the smartest class in our school district in something like twenty-five years. I don't know if we were supposed to know that, but some of our teachers talked about it. Our biology teacher in particular liked to mention it.
I don't care if 45 is a genius or not. What matters is that he is a madman who might kill us all. Let his handlers soothe him and tell him what he wants to hear. Let them agree that is he the smartest person the world has ever seen. Let them say this all the while they are easing him into a straightjacket and out of office via the twenty-fifth amendment.
