i would rather be a 150+ IQ ltn then a 100 IQ htn
why 150 and not 120 for example
differences in iq like 100 vs 120 are small, i'd rather be a 100 iq htn then 120 iq mtn, usually people with slightly above average (105-135) have a feeling of superiority and falsely, cuz under a certain point, you get small iq increase for no real benefit, maybe you have better memory
once your 150 IQ and up though, all of the individual subtest scores (memory, reasoning, spatial awareness) must be high, it isn't like you can just have one high score carry you above average, you must be above average in all things in the brain
even then, a 100 IQ person can just use good test taking strategies to increase to 110 or maybe higher then they really are by just having prepared before hand and practiced other iq tests
this is why 120 IQ people can sometimes be dumber then 100 IQ, these 120 iq people might have a lower reasoning or pattern recognition score, but they are just very good in memory and visual awareness to carry their score
applications to ur life
once u are 150+ iq and have high scores in every field, or at least have such a high score in one field it brings up ur average iq, you will excel in something, no matter your mental state, people in your life wont just call you smart but ask to study with you or ask you to tutor them in a subject
even if you aren't trying to get attention or anything good, opportunities open up anyways because people see your actions and that you are smart
u will meet higher quality people, for example tutoring someone, you can get a job recommendation from them and start out higher in work, u can get invited to social circles etc, cuz people find u interesting due to ur iq
if ur high enough iq and look okay enough, you will get a reputation as high iq, people u don't even know will talk to you
if u are any older then like 20 though, people will just use ur high iq status to use you, in work if they ask for ur help they just want u to do the work for u
u must be very high iq from a young age, and the most usage you can get it is when ur iq is being used the most, in school
otherwise people will just use you if it is past school
