What you lack can be learned; emotional intelligence. Or a reasonable enough facsimile in some cases.

It's weird. I was once told my IQ is above average but don't let it go to your head because you have the heart of a child, emotionally under developed.
That was 30 years ago.

Sorry to be unknowledgeable, but which film is that please? I honestly don't know! I don't watch that many films, gave up years ago. The only thing I found searching was something to do with The Avengers, and it's clearly not that.

No problem. The film is "The Men Who Stare at Goats" (2009) (IMDB), Hollyweird satire on the First Earth Battalion, Remote Viewing. A character ("General Hopgood") in the film is loosely based on Stubblebine as commander of the "psychic spy unit" who believed he could train himself to walk through walls.
Albert Stubblebine - Parapsychologic research @ INSCOM. The Army intel version of CIA's Stargate project.

You can't really jump that much in intelligence full stop. You can add 5 or 10 points naturally but what if your higher score measured something else?

What is "hybrid war"?
From the Russian perspective, it is a two-pronged approach to regime change.
First, Western-backed NGOs encourage large protests against an incumbent government.
Second, armed provocateurs use the protests as cover to stage kinetic attacks.
...
Second, roughly one-quarter of the population of Kazakhstan is ethnic Russians.
Kazakh nationalists are overwhelmingly Muslims, who resent the Orthodox-Christian Russian minority.
Russia believes that civil war would entail a non-trivial risk of anti-Russian ethnic cleansing.
...
Fifth, Russia's nuclear fuel cycle is intimately linked to Kazakhstan.
Russian-backed Uranium mining operations are active in the country.
Uranium from Kazakhstan is enriched in Novouralsk, Russia and then returned to Kazakhstan for use in Chinese nuclear-fuel assemblies.
...
The biggest question is how the situation in Kazakhstan will affect the existing standoff between Russia and NATO over Ukraine.
Will Russia be deterred from intervention in Ukraine by the need to maintain reserves to deploy to Kazakhstan?
Or will it simply be provoked?
...
The Russians are convinced that NED is a front for the CIA.
I don't think that's true.
But it's a distinction without a difference, since NED has taken over part of the CIA's mission.
...
In America, the situation in Kazakhstan is a small news item.
In Moscow, it is currently receiving 24/7 news coverage, like it's an apocalyptic threat to Russia's security.

The IQ tests I've taken in the past weren't general knowledge quizzes at all. They were more concerned with things like taking a look at various shapes and figuring out which one didn't belong, or which one was out of place. With each question being timed to see how long it took you to figure it out. The tests themselves were geared at trying to figure out how quickly you can process information, not how much knowledge you currently have.
It's an intellectual quotient test. Not an SAT.

Yes! I was really curious about the IQ test thing and had a look through the history but daily life dragged me away without finding anything. Can you share the findings, Pheonix?
The thing about children, intuition and IQ testing is interesting. I had mine tested and it came back inconclusive as I scored extremely high and extremely low in certain areas.
One thing that I've always wondered about was being taken out of class in grade 8/9 and taught about propaganda/advertising in a small group of 7. It was fascinating and very formative of my inquiries into such in subjects in life.
Was anyone else here was picked out for alternate programming as a child?
It seemed a strange thing for the time even and showed me how entrenched the society was under the weight of the media even then, way more extreme now. I had nothing in common with the other kids, a few were good students, a few were not, so I do wonder the criteria for the choice. I have a friend who went through a program at a younger age with a different focus, different school district but still bc, canada, so might have been local. She also feels it was aimed at studying the kids into the future armed with alternate knowledge from their peers.
In 1999, in response to exploding epidemics of autism and other neurological disorders, CDC decided to study its vast Vaccine Safety Datalink — the medical and vaccination record of millions of Americans, archived by the top HMOs — to learn whether the dramatic escalation of the vaccine schedule, beginning in 1989, was a culprit. CDC’s in-house epidemiologist, Thomas Verstraeten, led the effort.
“We must follow three basic rules: (1) act quickly to inform pediatricians that the products have more mercury than we realized; (2) be open with consumers about why we didn’t catch this earlier; (3) show contrition. If the public loses faith in the Public Health Services recommendations, then the immunization battle will falter. To keep faith, we must be open and honest and move forward quickly to replace these products.”
Confronted with scientific proof of their role in the chronic disease calamity, the cabal did exactly the opposite.
In recommending a vast battery of new vaccines for children, public health regulators had somehow neglected to calculate the cumulative mercury and aluminum loads in all the new jabs.
For months, nearly everyone involved thought the medical center had had a huge whooping cough outbreak, with extensive ramifications. Nearly 1,000 health care workers at the hospital in Lebanon, N.H., were given a preliminary test and furloughed from work until their results were in; 142 people, including Dr. Herndon, were told they appeared to have the disease; and thousands were given antibiotics and a vaccine for protection. Hospital beds were taken out of commission, including some in intensive care.
Then, about eight months later, health care workers were dumbfounded to receive an e-mail message from the hospital administration informing them that the whole thing was a false alarm.
Not a single case of whooping cough was confirmed with the definitive test, growing the bacterium, Bordetella pertussis, in the laboratory. Instead, it appears the health care workers probably were afflicted with ordinary respiratory diseases like the common cold.
Now, as they look back on the episode, epidemiologists and infectious disease specialists say the problem was that they placed too much faith in a quick and highly sensitive molecular test that led them astray.
