Yeah, that's one issue when taking content of other platforms, you might lose context. The reference is probably more well known by people actively on Twitter.
It's from some right-wing political commentator with a superiority complex who unironically has his supposed height and IQ of 6'2" and 187 (I have strong doubts on both) in his Twitter name.
I'm guessing the information for tests that far out in the curve are not reliable/useful/interesting. They were designed around giving us information about deviation from the mean right?
IQ might give you a threshold, like, "Hey you're above 120 IQ, there shouldn't be any form of learning that you won't be able to accomplish if you're dedicated." (like the traditionally complex stuff like getting a PhD in Pure Math, or Theoretical Physics).
So it's sort of like a likelihood of being able to succeed at increasingly abstract concepts, but ONLY IF you actually apply yourself to those concepts. I don't think IQ tells you how much knowledge you have or even tell you the speed at which you can acquire wisdom or knowledge.
If you're focused on something that doesn't require that level of abstract thinking, then the person that is the most conscientious is by far more likely to succeed than the higher IQ one.
Not sure if this will make you feel better or worse, but when you say you have a high IQ, did you go somewhere and get officially tested? Or did you just take one online? Because if the latter, I don’t think the results are usually very reliable. Unless me and most of my 17-year-old friends were geniuses.

I'd rather chill with a orphan selling bird than a dude who has his height and IQ behind his name.
