I actually think empathy is one of the biggest signs of high IQ

Not because it makes you a good person, but because it means you can accurately model other people’s minds. Even people you disagree with.

Low IQ people think everyone who disagrees with them is evil, stupid or brainwashed. High IQ people can usually see exactly why someone believes what they believe, even if they think it’s complete bullshit.

Putting yourself in someone elses shoes, feeling what they feel. Thats what i want to achieve.

Understanding a mind is harder than dismissing one.

Let’s all strive to be more empathetic.

It was completely anonymous (no reason to lie) and its still a big majority

There is also statistics proving a majority of incel websites are occupied by whites

Depends, I can usually tell when someone is being dishonest, is dumb, or just thinks differently. The first isn't worth any sort of empathy.

What if I’m a solipsist and believe for a good reason (which is that I can be only sure of the existence of my mind) that everyone else is a illusion? Your way of thinking is flawed

In a lucid dream I don’t need morals, and I don’t have a reason to believe life (specifically anything that isn’t my mind) isn’t one

You talk like a liberal, you can’t be real thinking we are equal. That’s impossible by culture alone, not speaking on the physical and abstract concept one
 
Niggers always describing their own traits as high iq.

I’ve seen it all..

First it’s lone wolfs with high IQ now high empathy?? Just stop honestly. Doubt this is good for your mental health
 
It's not a sign of high IQ at all; most intelligent people have a lower empathetic range because they're pragmatic. I'm just in this thread so I can JFL at all the dark triad larpers.

Yes it is, the lower the iq the lower the ability for abstract thought.

empathy isn't morally good by itself, the ability to identify with or understand another's situation or feelings, the intellectual identification of the thoughts, feelings, or state of another person, its just an effect of high intelligence, OP didn't talk about the emotional aspect of it only the cognitive one, which, essentially started out as a survival mechanism for both offense and defense tactics

When I hear empathy, I think of affective empathy. Basically, what you said could be boiled down to "lower IQ = absent metacognitive abilities". Which is true, but I was leaning into the edge of affective empathy, which has nothing to do with IQ.

I think the disagreement comes from people using the word empathy to mean different things.

There are two versions of empathy

Emotional empathy which means feeling what other people feel.

And cognitive empathy
= understanding what other people feel and why

Two completely different things.

The second one is much more closely tied to intelligence.

If I can accurately predict what someone believes, what motivates them, what they’re afraid of, and why they reacted a certain way, that requires building a reasonably accurate model of their mind. That’s a cognitive skill.

The first one isn’t necessarily related to intelligence. You can be extremely compassionate and average IQ. You can also be extremely intelligent and not emotionally affected by other people’s suffering. I am actually one of these people. However cognitive empathy, which im strong in, is a completely different thing.

The funny thing is that a lot of self proclaimed “dark triad” guys actually have poor cognitive empathy. They think having no sympathy means they’re some master manipulator, but half the time they can’t even accurately understand why other people do what they do. They just reduce everyone to generalisations like “cope” or “hypergamy”

pattern recognition is the best indicator of high iq. which is also why high iq people are more racist

A lot of people don't understand that empathy does not equal being kind or loving to everyone you see but more so just building a model of someone's mind and accurately predicting how they would feel and react to things

This is why many autists don’t have empathy, not because they‘re bad people, but because their brain is underdeveloped and they aren’t able to understand how someone else feels, It overwhelms them intellectually

Yes unfortunately young boys here associate empathy as feminine. Un empathetic people tend to be the same people who built up walls during their upbringing, and refused to understand other people as a coping mechanism

I would tip unattractive waiters significantly more than I tipped their attractive counterparts.

And I've never insulted someone on this website for their appearance unless they have insulted me first.

And I used to give away free producing/artist advice and drumkits/presets to struggling new artists.

And I'd stand up for bullied kids in high school

That's kana
