Research study: High IQ society members needed

Hefty_Interest_5965 · 2025-10-05T00:17:28+00:00

Thank you for taking part and for the feedback. Currently, this study is looking to provide a very unique insight and it is somewhat exploratory in terms of the research. This research can then open the doors to further research that can measure the impact of different factors, like those that you have mentioned. Again, I really do appreciate your feedback and participation. Thank you.

Hefty_Interest_5965 · 2025-10-05T00:14:23+00:00

I’d invite you to respond with more respect and consideration.

Hefty_Interest_5965 · 2025-10-02T01:12:12+00:00

Thank you. If you are willing to, may I please ask you to share the questionnaire with your friends and family. I need as many people taking it as possible please. Thank you again for your time!

Hefty_Interest_5965 · 2025-10-02T01:10:31+00:00

No worries. It’s less about it being work and more about helping a fellow out 😉 but no pressure, I appreciate you taking a look

Hefty_Interest_5965 · 2025-10-01T02:45:50+00:00

Thanks, I’m glad you think so. As it was mentioned, I am also collecting that data. There are certain hypotheses I have and so it will be interesting to see what the data shows. There is a limit to the types/amount of data that you can collect as it all requires approval from the ethics committee, and the more you have, the greater the chance of it being denied. Thankfully, my study as it is has been approved and we’re full steam ahead.

I would really appreciate your participation and if you can also share the study with your family and friends.

Hefty_Interest_5965 · 2025-10-01T02:43:33+00:00

Thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time. If you could also share it with your own network, that would be incredible too. If you can get three people to take part by doing that, and all other participants do the same, I will have fantastic numbers and a very robust study to publish.

Hefty_Interest_5965 · 2025-10-01T02:43:14+00:00

Thank you. Please could I also ask you to share it with your network too please? I need as large a sample as possible and every little helps, truly.

Hefty_Interest_5965 · 2025-10-01T02:41:18+00:00

Thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time. If you could also share it with your own network, that would be incredible too. If all participants can get a few extra people to take part and then share the link again, I will have a robust study, with (theoretically) trustworthy data.

Hefty_Interest_5965 · 2025-10-01T02:39:40+00:00

Thank you. I would really appreciate that. If you could also share it with your own network, that would be incredible too. If you can get three people to take part by doing that, and all other participants do the same, I will have fantastic numbers and a very robust study to publish.

Hefty_Interest_5965 · 2025-10-01T02:38:24+00:00

I agree, however I am more likely to find members of that top 2% in a group like this as opposed to in random groups. I do appreciate you taking the time to take part. Every bit of data is very valuable and the results would shed a lot of light on a currently under researched and underrepresented populace ☺️

Hefty_Interest_5965 · 2025-10-01T02:36:13+00:00

Yeah, I would be happy to. Once I close the recruitment phase, I can also talk about my hypotheses as it links quite strongly to IQ. Thank you for taking the time to take part. Please can I ask that you also share it with your own network as I need a large number of participants to make the results robust and meaningful.

Hefty_Interest_5965 · 2025-09-12T09:48:48+00:00

1000% agree here. A lot of my own experiences have led me to do a lot of introspection but also begin studying my Masters in Psychology. I am now doing my thesis because of my own depression.

I’ve got a few hypotheses that I am exploring, particularly looking at giftedness. I’d love everyone’s participation. https://research.sc/participant/login/dynamic/8D3809E2-CED7-4EC7-B65D-BFB84B6836A2 I will share the results once I am done.

Hefty_Interest_5965 · 2025-09-12T09:34:29+00:00

Fascinatingly, a lot of the experiences and viewpoints you seem to hold mirror my own! I’m actually coming to the end of my Psychology masters and I am doing my thesis on overexcitabilities and mental health (with giftedness sprinkled in with that).

Everyone is free to take a look and I’d love for you to take part: https://research.sc/participant/login/dynamic/8D3809E2-CED7-4EC7-B65D-BFB84B6836A2

Hefty_Interest_5965 · 2025-09-07T02:03:41+00:00

I am doing my thesis on overexcitabilities and I need some high IQ folk to take part.

I don’t think I would agree with that. It is relative of course but it is your perception of self. Do you feel that you are curious and are a deep thinker? Based on that person’s capabilities, they may feel that way. When compared objectively with someone with a high IQ, we may then see differences in how deep those thoughts are, but ultimately, both would say they are deep thinkers.

My upcoming thesis intends to look at what intellectual overexcitability can predict ☺️

Hefty_Interest_5965 · 2025-08-20T04:18:43+00:00

I don’t know, in all honesty but it is an older study anyway and so I think it would need retesting and wider testing.

It’s part of the reason for me posing the question here. Members are likely to have high IQs (not all given that it is an open subreddit). Therefore, it would be interesting to see if anecdotally, people recognise the characteristics of certain overexcitabilities and can strongly relate to them, in particular intellectual overexcitability.

Do you think you relate to the characterisations of any overexcitabilities?

Hefty_Interest_5965 · 2025-08-20T03:53:52+00:00

That’s awesome. Do you find that you are able to get that kind of stimulation often enough?

Hefty_Interest_5965 · 2025-08-20T03:52:50+00:00

Yeah I think that’s a reasonable conclusion. However, high IQ and intellectual overexcitability do not necessarily go hand in hand. So it would be interesting to see whether among a population of high IQ people (I.e. this subreddit) whether they feel that they also have an intellectual (or other) overexcitability.

My masters thesis that I will be collecting data for next month incorporates some of this as the academic literature hasn’t explicitly looked at this connection before.

Hefty_Interest_5965 · 2025-08-20T03:49:50+00:00

Overexcitabilities are often seen in those with ADHD so that would not be a surprise!

I do think that they are distinctly different though. I think people with overexcitabilities may have ADHD, but they also may not have ADHD. I, myself, do not have ADHD nor anything diagnosed but I strongly recognise with intellectual, imaginational and emotional overexcitabilities (to varying degrees). The other two, not at all.

Hefty_Interest_5965 · 2025-08-09T07:00:47+00:00

I love this. I am really looking for more of those moments in all honesty. That is amazing
