Abstraction ceilings in high range IQs
Post Body

A few weeks ago I asked a question in regards to the limitations of abstraction and reasoning capacity as it relates to iq. In the example I provided, I referred to my cousin with Down syndrome whose Iq was measured around 50-65 ish. I also referred to my wife who scored 110 on the CAIT and 109 on BRIGHT, and how we walked through the figure weights on the CAIT after her first attempt and at some point, it was impossible for me to explain to her promptly enough why an answer was correct. Around question 11 or so.

Anyways, I know some people in this group tend to say that iq doesnā€™t matter after 120 or so. Or 130 or whatever. Or that even if it does, it makes things quicker or something like that as an added bonus. But doesnā€™t actually allow for the comprehension of concepts that canā€™t be understood with a lower iq, given enough time.

Is there any sort of logic rule or concept that people struggle to comprehend at 130 but is readily grasped by someone with an iq of 160? Or anything else ? I know there arenā€™t hard and fast lines as it relates to comprehension. Iā€™m speaking generally.

For examples,

I think Iā€™ve read before that people 140 have an easier time ā€œgoing beyondā€ binary logic or more easily appreciate non dual concepts? This is the sort of thing Iā€™m talking about. Iā€™ve also taken a basic astronomy class in college and it seemed to me that the particular implications of relativity are intuitive enough, and the higher someoneā€™s iq is, the more likely their mind is ready to think in that ā€œmodeā€ of thought. I.e the higher your iq, the more likely you are to appreciate relativity.
