Happiness is significantly associated with IQ. Those in the lowest IQ range (70-99) reported the lowest levels of happiness compared with the highest IQ group (120-129). Mediation analysis using the continuous IQ variable found dependency in activities of daily living, income, health and neurotic symptoms were strong mediators of the relationship, as they reduced the association between happiness and IQ by 50%.

theyre larping. the lower your iq is the more blissfully ignorant you will be, thus happier

its pretty easy to quantify, just ask any of your high iq friends if they are happy, they arent

It is important in predicting career outcomes on a population level. At individual level, it does not hold a lot of predictive power

Okay, if you were a 75 iq Somalian with no socioeconomic benefit, would you be happy?

Almost all philosophers and scientists led far more fulfilling lives than the peasants who break their backs. This is just peasant cope to not get depressed by the fact that your achievements are capped at birth

I can assure you that a CEO is certainly happier than basement dweller NEETs

youre assuming that im arguing from a place of low iq, but im not. im just stating the facts
ive been encouraged to join mensa multiple times because im high

fact is high iq is a curse, and if you think otherwise then youre probably low iq and dont know better

Yes very happy. have you ever met a 75 iq somalian? happiest people on earth, besides downies
Hell no, my low iq friends are all miserable because they cannot do anything remotely as efficiently as I can, literally all of them tell me they wish only and only high iq some of them a 5'5 and still they'll wish for high iq because they know ultimately thier potential dictates their life quality

Failure to pass educational milestones is pretty indicative of not being genius in most cases

Your story alone is not enough to override the data I shared.

what does passing educational milestones have to do with someone ending up being a neet?

Honestly
IQs above 140 almost always come with neurodivergence and/or mental illness

Any “smart”/successful NT is in the 120-130ish range

Most geniuses were tortured inside, genius doesn’t come without madness

What IQ tests have you taken ? MENSA is cope and does not count. It is a cope test for chuds to feel superior. The ones that count are Stanford Binet and Weschler
 
I have 160+ iq and its overrated

you can be happy doing that, ecstatic even, precisely BECAUSE YOU ARE LOW IQ
HELL NO no one is happy not being able to get enough money even the most retarded people know that money is very important and having a family is very important if someone is not able to get these concepts they're not just low iq they're retarded

No its cope because its only a Matrices test with a little bit of Verbal, Sequences and Visuo Spatial sprinkled in. Professional grade IQ tests, test a whole lot more than just matrices and visuo spatial. Not to mention that matrices are subject to practice effect but Stanford Binet and Weschler cannot be practiced. Your score will always fall in the same interval. Stanford Binet also has a century worth of data, compared to Chud copium like MENSA. A lot of Mensa copers will sperg out when they get even a 5-10 point difference on a professional IQ test

It matters but you don’t need to be high IQ to do well, but you need a certain baseline and it requires much more effort the lower iq you are

I had a friend back in secondary school who wasn’t very bright at all (probably <90 iq) but who dreamed of becoming a scientist. Extremely sweet guy but just not very smart. He put his heart and soul into studying and started way before most people and always asked me for help.

He scraped through with a 4/5 in double science and still didn’t get the grades to do science at A-levels so his dream was over. I studied for genuinely a week right before the exams and I got 3 9s (equivalent to an A*) in triple science (the higher version of the science curriculum you can chose to do) despite putting in not even a tenth of the effort he did

I’m not trying to flex and quite frankly being a high iq sperg isn’t all its cracked up to be but there are biological realities here

ill summarize this

low iq people will say that they wish they were high iq without realizing that they are infinitely happier than a high iq person could ever be

midwits will say that high iq makes you happy because they are larping as high iq and self inserting into the shoes of a high iq person

high iq people will say that low iq people are happier because they cant into introspection, self reflection and longterm thinking

I think people with slightly above iqs have it best
110s are the sweet spot
Smart enough to be successful if they put their minds to it, dumb enough to not overthink things and be well adapted for the normie world
