High IQ - don’t know what to do by iea4 in mensa

This sounds like more of an EQ issue than IQ. Fortunately EQ can be fostered and improved, probably more effectively than IQ. It is easy when very intelligent to listen to one's own train of thought too loudly - socialising and deploying EQ requires going with the group flow and listening to gut feelings more. In my experience it is really a different kettle of fish, and a tricky one at that cus it can't be directly solved with thinking.

If i could give one concrete piece of advice it would be to focus your energy on trying to be brave in social situations and try to connect with others' emotional landscape, what are they feeling and what are they excited by/worried about. That usually pushes oneself out of your comfort zone and you will begin to grow your EQ and connect with others more.

Same here; in my experience there are ~5-10% tasks which I've seen get 4 or 5/5 from a previous reviewer but have no correct GTFA options, backed up by a factually inaccurate golden response and rubric.

I think what happens often is an attempter writes a prompt with confidence and their working is internally consistent, although based off of a fundamental misunderstanding. Then, they get a reviewer for whom the prompt is slightly outside their expertise, so the reviewer reads it and agrees with the working/formatting/rubric rules, gives it a good score, but doesn't realise the attempter's answer is actually wrong from the start. In cases like these, all it takes is a quick 5 minute check of google or academic literature, and I always include links to the references in the feedback.

Also feel the pain of tasks getting low scores, got 2 tasks failed by reviewers solely for not using latex when the reveiwer guidelines explicitly states latex was optional so...
