>Lovecraft was a precocious youth: he was reciting poetry at age two, reading at age three, and writing at age six or seven. His earliest enthusiasm was for the Arabian Nights, which he read by the age of five
>www.hplovecraft.com/life/biograph.aspx

The author of the above article elsewhere mentions that Lovecraft was assisted in reading the Arabian Nights by his grandfather. Not on his own effort.

Based on the above information, and weighed against the data of other child prodigies, Lovecraft's IQ was between 150-180.

But if Lovecraft was such a prodigy, why was he unable to teach himself college level mathematics, even into his adult age? Despite desperately wanting to. And despite having access to a local college level library, in his youth.

He probably had an IQ no higher than the 130s. Another mediocre "gentleman".

130 is still pretty high especially for the 20's

>the IQ meme

Even most serious STEMtards don't believe this, and it benefits them the most.

is this special?

>Precocious.

*Tips*

>>9098430
130s in our era's metrics. Lovecraft was priveleged and had reasonable education, so he doesn't get any special skewing relative to the rest of the impoverished world of his time.

>>9098486
It's barely above average.

H.P "get the niggers OUT I said OUT of the god damned city and put them on a fucking BOAT and send them far FAR away from me" Lovecraft

Sure he was

>>9098891
He was taught by at least his grandfather.

Everyone is genetically predisposed with certain potential abilities and inclinations (from each according to his ability, to each according to his need), this is why racism is true and good, and why he was a racist, because he was ashamed of his inferiority so he projected and attempted to play shepherd dog for the pats on the back by the braingets above him

Lovecraft liked to prop his butt up in the air and see how much he could pee in his own asshole. Truly gifted.
