As a young man, I worked in a factory where I build and wired electrical equipment. One day the company brought in some people to conduct IQ tests, and one of the guys I worked with at the factory 'Harry', spoke with the union shop steward and asked if he could help arrange that he could take the test, which was intended for the company engineers and top managers. The company agreed to allow Harry to take the test. The outcome was that Harry who at the time was an electrical fitter the same as myself, had the highest IQ of anyone in the company who took the test. The company immediately took Harry off the factory floor and put him into the production engineering department, and over the next few years, Harry introduced some amazing new technologies into the company. If Harry had not asked to be allowed to take the test, he may well have remained an electrical fitter for all of his working life.

When she talked about "women being their own worse enemy" she was being both misogynic and illogical. She ignored the fact that attractive women advance faster than unattractive women in the workplace as do attractive men. She herself was very attractive especially as a young women and she worked it with as much diligence as any Hollywood starlet. Plus it is pregnancy, childbirth and the burdens of childcare that hold women back at work, not physical attractiveness. Her prejudice against attractive women probably arrises from her own insecurities as her own beauty fades and she sees her husband surrounded by attractive women in his workplace.

Her intelligence shows in how kind she is to people, because she understands them and how can you hate people when you understand and are so confident they have no bad intentions.

Her demeanor is classy and gracious, beautiful woman, and wise.

Sorry to be the one to tell you and please don't take this as a put down. True intelligent decisions can't come from the heart. The heart is based on emotion and doing what feels right at that moment. It can get you in a situation you regret. It takes logical thinking..(analyzing a situation or problem using reason and coming up with potential solutions. Logical thinkers gather all the information they can, assess the facts, and then methodically decide the best way to move forward.. When thinking from the heart you may decide to go down the wrong path. No one thinks correctly when emotional. Think with the conscience ( 'Certain conscience' is the complete absence of doubt in whether our decision is good or bad. 'Doubtful conscience' limits our ability to make a choice between good or bad. 'Delicate conscience' is very meticulous and careful about our decisions). Her quote is for those who actually don't think logically and therefore it's better to think with their heart ( hopefully they have a good heart). They have no good logic. As a result they make terrible choices in life. @@Scotty432

She made me feel good because all of my life it was my 'attitude" that helped me push forward when trying to get promotions or to tests to succeed in getting those jobs. So Marilyn - "thank you from the bottom of my heart!"

A conversation with no regard for mass-intelligibility, in which only the concepts are discussed....would pretty much be something most people have never heard/seen before. Even the most advanced lectures which can be found online still have the professor/researcher transposing everything they say to make it easier to understand for students or non-academics. And furthermore, I think it is safe to assume none of those professors come close to her intellect. However, hearing a legit mega-genius (the kind like her, without the social issues and/or bizarre eccentricities some of them have) interact with another would be outrageously interesting and uncommon. I've never seen a video like that. Maybe there's one out there, somewhere.

Marilyn is so humble, really a nice person. I have watched her from 1986 interviews til now and she always was humble.

What a lovely woman and fascinating to learn about how diverse her interests and talents. Her points made about how we 'assume' intelligence' are very important. We assign and reward - including social status - on all kinds of superficial external characteristics, and / or narrow specialities. Her point about women relying on physical attractiveness rather than their intellect or skills, is also foundational to a societal shift toward how a truly equal opportunity society might function. Marilyn is a shining example of quiet dignity and determination, as well as courteously side stepping others expectations and charting her own course. Well Done!

The peculiarity of her intelligence is the fact that her Emotional Quotient is certainly very high which allows her to understand the feelings related to the people whom she meets. this is one of the reasons why she is in literature and have a greather family by herself.

It certainly can't be measured well through standardized testing. Especially because of the vast range of emotional subjectivity and individual variance of values among humans worldwide. We can determine if someone largely lacks emotional capacity, but even then we fall folly to emotional presentations that are merely different from how the baseline majority of people respond emotionally, and how they express said emotions. Too many independent individual variables to accurately quantify. That's my personal view.

What are her thoughts on our cosmic origins , how life may have began , life elsewhere in the universe , how can we solve our human condition and attitudes on government , philosophy , ideologies , religions and the mysteries of being and consciousness and how does she envision the future of our species on our world, etc, assuming we have one !

When she said that 'people we think are very smart are not necessarily very smart' I was reminded of my mother's comment in the 1980's. She was invited to a gathering of people all in MENSA, top 2% and above in IQ down at a posh beach house in Connecticut, a party. She was a science teacher herself and more 'normal'.... She was very disappointed she related, because it was the most boring party she had ever been to. They all talked only about very narrow and specialized topics and showed little interest or knowledge about much else. Go figure. I, myself, have a former roommate with a proudly announced IQ of 160 who is one of the most narrow minded friends I've ever had; he has become an extreme Progressive Leftist over the past years and will not discuss anything that contradicts his opinion to the point that I cannot have a rational conversation with him. I'd rather talk to a pocket calculator. Go figure... again.

There are different kinds of intelligence. (For example I just tried to properly spell "intelligence" 3 times before resorting to spell check) I think a lot of the people who would join MENSA lack emotional intelligence. They are so focused on how smart they are they cannot relate to people on a personal level. I've known such people. People who could discuss theory above my level of comprehension but cannot have a normal discussion about current events, politics, or even share a story about their day. I've never taken a formal IQ test but have done the Readers Digest sample MENSA test and have done quite well. It seems to help me with worldly introspection but it sure hasn't made me any money...,.

I get the hint whensomeone doesn't want to talk, but I have met the coolest people on planes who did want to talk. I mostly fly first class (as does she believe me) and I have met a journalist for ABC news, a professional golfer, a minister's wife (one of my favorites) several physicians, a flight attendant from Korean Airlines (so glamorous and beautiful), computer software salesman, and all manner of business owners. First class is worth the money just for the company. Anyway, how can a mind be contextual? Are most minds shallow, narrow and extraneous?

First interview I listen to. Really nice.

In modern IQ that score is 160+. The older scales went higher. No reliable or authentic IQ test goes that high.

I think that having a personal column and being asked a number of everyday questions to not so everyday questions, was actually a very good fit for her, people with above average intelligence, usually struggle with connecting to others, due to their cognitive differences, which can make them feel lonely, but through her job she gets to connect to thousands of people, and help them in whatever way they need. Also I think it’s wrong of people to say that she should have accomplished more with her smarts, she’s doing what makes her happy and helping people, which is an accomplishment all on its own, if you want someone to accomplish something great, you be that person.

I watched the interview. In context, a lot of woman had bad experiences on letterman in the 1980s, mostly due to his belittling and flagrant sexism. Watch his interview with Cher as an example. I think Marilyn expected similar comments from him (a rational position to take) and chose to go on the offensive. The difference between her and every other female guest is that letterman was probably intimidated by her and so wasn’t his usual patronising self. Of course, that then made her look bad, and gave him the grounds to act the fool he did and throw much more vicious insults at her. There is ample evidence of Letterman being an arrogant dick spanning 40 years.

I like how Marilyn arose from humble beginnings, against all odds, and made the world a bit brighter, and hope she continues to do so for a good long while. Although from some comments and the view counter, "what did she do?", few would seem to have read her books. Marilyn wrote a book that teaches people how to exercise themselves smarter, "Brain Building", to those who are open-minded and willing. Playing chess alone is scientifically proven to improve IQ a few points, and is but one of many habits in that book...teach the world how to fish...if they even want to.

She's written several books. See her wiki page.

I also feel like nobody understands its about finding truth not regurgitating what's learnt.. It's not about manipulation or getting away.. A smart politician can profit without theft.. She's correct.. I share that sentiment 💯💯💯

Smartest and HUMBLE, lovely human being with joy for life, teach us a lesson

I concur 100 % about the damage women cause themselves by over playing sex appeal. I, wholeheartedly agree with Ms Marilyn as well about smarts /politicians/ scientists. She is a marvelous woman.

You end up often attracting the worst quality men by playing the sex object.

I found her viewpoint on women dressing to be attractive totally true. I once told a manager that neither my looks nor my degree helped me to resolve that specific issue, I had to actually apply my mind. He did not know what to say, but treated me better from then on.

IT'S SMART to be conservative! Wonder if she wore her tennis shoes to the studio, yes ? i NEED TO FIND " ASK MARILYN !" Hooked on all of her interviews now! Ah, maybe YOU can answer my question then ? I'd heard of her before, but "as a mathematical expert ?!" I'd like to see the BRAINY DOSE VIDEO MAKERS get rid of their mechanical narrators and DO AN INTERVIEW WITH Marilyn..wouldn' tyou ? Smart? Intuitive? Knowledgeable ? Verbally expressive of her thoughts ? The list could go on, yes ? (Conventional Wisdom says David Ellison, thanks !) Seemed to me "they" were sort of picking on her for not using the "math stats" as they did ? Oh, of course; now let's hear it for the "Intelligence of Creative Thinking!?"

well she had make up on and most probably had botox too. maybe she meant that using sex appeal is ok for female geniuses only, the rest of us cannot handle it😜

This lady genius appears continuously in PARADE Magazine every week for decades!!

I always looked forward to her articles in Parade.

clear communication, what a fabulous talent she has.

I think Marilyn is very humble with a sweet personality ❤

This is a very good interview. The host is not asking stupid questions and he is not try to show how smart or superior he is. Marilyn seems to be a very nice genuine person. Both of them appear in a good light.

In her Parade column she used to challenge people to redefine a given term. One week the term was "Ice Age". Winning entry... "Ice Age- The period of time between when you did something wrong and when your wife tells you what it was."

so good to hear that a genius has thoughts of doing "it" over again, of making different decisons.

I adore Marilyn Mach Vos Savant. The woman is outstanding in every interview. I am curious why I have never seen her interviewed by Wm F BUCKLEY Jr., Charlie Rose, Diane Sawyer, Oprah et al. This interviewer claims to have several major awards yet his bio is not even with Wikipedia.

She is still beautiful even when she is old

She worked it in her youth with makeup, pretty clothes and Aqua Net big hair.
