@Vixen claims to qualify for membership in this society, which is tantamount to claiming she has scored in the 99.9th percentile of some standard intelligence test. This corresponds closely to three standard deviations above mean tested intelligence (although the "above" may remain in question in her case). In contrast, she maintains her critics have only "mean sd" intelligence, and has at times characterized them as "low intellect."
Since she cannot seem to demonstrate at this forum even an ordinary level of intelligence in important areas, the claim is clearly false. It may end up to be technically true depending on what test she took and when. But since she exhibits almost complete illiteracy in scientific and quantitative reasoning, it simply is not possible for anyone having those deficiencies to lay a claim to overall stellar intelligence. Those modes of reasoning contribute too much to an overall intelligence assessment for an incapacity in them to allow "triple-niner" status. We therefore dismiss her claims to superior intelligence as any sort of useful premise to her arguments.
At times
@Vixen has claimed that her allegedly superior intelligence nevertheless enables her to reason correctly through problems in which she cannot demonstrate required specialized knowledge. She claims she is better at the "abstract concepts" and doesn't need to bother with factual details. At other times she claims that her allegedly superior intelligence creates a difficulty in communicating with her "low intellect" critics because of the so-called Simonton Gap. She cites this as an excuse for why large numbers of people frequently can't figure out what she's trying to say.
It's more likely that her claim to superior intelligence contrasted with her demonstrated incompetence is simply meant to attract attention—even if it's negative. It's likely a put-on.
I'm reminded of "Keith" from season 2 of
American Idol who steadfastly maintained that he was a superstar destined for fame despite his nasal, off-key vocals. Simon Cowell opined that he might be the worst singer in the entire world. Having coached singers for
American Idol auditions and having learned from participants how the contestants are selected, I can say it would ordinarily have been out of the question for "Keith" to return in season 3. But his delusional confidence was too cringy to ignore, and the show is ultimately about viewership even if it must occasionally resort to cringe to get it.
Similarly
@Vixen's confident delusion of superior understanding in the face of elementary error (whether genuine or not) attracts more attention and comment than reasonable disagreement. Therefore it expands her page count, which seems to be what she's most interested in here at the forum. It goes hand in hand with her inability to admit even simple errors graciously. If you can't be smart, be cringy and they'll still pay attention to you.
