What is the most ideal IQ to possess and why?

130. You're smarter than 98% of the population and can do any job you want with high attainment.
Diminishing returns after this are huge.
You're also less likely to suffer from the additional mental health problems that are usually associated with a higher IQ.

You also don't suffer from the additional mental health problems that someone with an even higher IQ will.

Well said. Only areas a 120 to 130 would struggle would be the more competitive academic fields.

Exactly. I don't need to be the first guy who splits the atom or discovers dark matter.

I want the iq range where i could understand literally every single subject easily

110s I feel like it’s the good spot. You’re smarter than most people on average. You can do well in most fields plus I feel like the more intelligent you get, the more depressed you get as you often iq mog most people and realize they’re sheep compared to you

 

[SuicideBomber]

All or nothing, so 160+.

120-130 imo, you can learn any shit fast and can have a great job. You also have to remember if youre too smart you'll look nd in the eyes of normal people

Nigger below <80 are living in bliss

 

[spongebob]

120 is perfect for normal life.
After 130 you will not blend in with society.
You can communicate up to 20 IQ points apart from yours, so 120 is ideal

Solid, but the alienation only really kicks in hard into the high 130s or 140s

Your smart

 

[Prettyboy]

No such thing as too high iq as long as you are neurotypical

Either that or they are getting raped/are raping in prison

Can you be a quant at Jane street with that iq ?

True (Dolph Lundgren comes to mind), but that’s pretty rare.

 

[BudgetBarrett]

You rape or get raped

 

[Michelangelo]

imagine having such a low IQ you dont even recognize yourself into a mirror or being unable to imagine hypothetical scenarios

 

[Snicket]

I don't see why not to be honest.
I feel like at 130, you're more than good enough to do anything you want.
You can get into Mensa around this level.

 

[scrunchables]

Likely not a successful one, unless you are really really good at the math side of IQ and really bad at everything else

Sounds ideal

 

[Snicket]

Sounds ideal

I agree.

Most celebrities, including artists, actors & world leaders have very high IQ.

Tbh people usually associate high IQ with STEM (rightfully so) but doctors/surgeons, lawyers, people in high finance, management consulting, CEOs, etc have super high IQ whilst also being neurotypical with very strong soft skills.

 

[Michelangelo]

Sounds ideal

i mean whats the point in existing then, everyone would treat you like some fucking retarded animal and you wouldnt even be able to understand it. you would go through life experiencing nothing but animal instinct

It was a joke.

too high IQ of a joke for me to comprehend it, its over

 

[Snicket]

Do celebrities typically have high IQs?
I agree with world leaders though because it's pretty mandatory.
Take Nixon, my avi, he had a registered IQ of 155.

True, but having such a high IQ demands a lot in order for it to not be wasted, so it’s not as suitable for normal living.

 

[superpsycho]

im low iq

so 160+ or death

I was originally studying toward quant finance at uni but eventually gave up on that ambition. The competition is just unbelievable, those physicists who eventually end up as quants were born to be problem solvers. They see an equation, then just split out the solution after making 3 pages of calculation in their mind.

The ironic thing is those like me who come from a finance background strive to become a quant like the tryhards we are, while these mathematicians / physicists / electronic engineers just accidentally bump into the field & then casually grab the jobs.

Yes to my knowledge most haver very high IQs, imagine it like that, top tier artists are there where they are because they are innovators.

Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, Hans Zimmer, Kanye West, Marylin Monroe, Edward Norton, Matt Damon etc.

The list goes on and on, many world class actors & other artists attended Ivy league schools

Pretty much everyone world famous is high iq even if they don’t seem like it at first glance, like Rowan Atkinson who play the goofy Mr Bean character is an electric engineer from Oxford.

Dolph Lundgren’s case of being good looking & high iq Isnt as uncommon

I’m aware of the fairly positive correlation between looks and IQ, but I just used him as an example of IQ and mentally well-adjusted

I can imagine this is true of directors and composers for sure. Less certain of actors.

I knew Damon and Atkinson are super smart.
I think Matt Damon co wrote Good Will Hunting with Ben Affleck in his 20s. Smart guys.

Was Monroe really intelligent or is this a popular myth?

Dolph Lundgren’s case of being good looking & high iq Isnt as uncommon

I'm pretty sure he lucked out!

 

[Prettyboy]

Tbh nowadays I believe actors and other artists are more often than not are trust fund / industry babies. They come from a privileged background so they could attend the best schools and had the opportunity to pursue artistry

115 - 130

the downside of being around 130 is that you start developing delusions of grandeur and believing you are the next einstein, leading to increased ambitions and expectations in the academic domain, when the difference between your average 125-130 guy and era-defining geniuses is larger than the difference between the resident .org PSL 4 virgin who thinks he is an HTN and a chad who doesn't know what a "forum" is

 

[lemonnz]

I haven’t gotten an IQ test but I brutally mog my peers at math even the tryhard asians so I imagine I must be up there somewhere.

I think my above average intelligence has led me to a “doomer” outlook on life and our meaning but despite this I wouldn’t trade it for anything tbh.

Well said. The increase in intelligence is exponential the higher you go. It’s like a D2 college player compared to the average player, and then that D2 player compared to the MVP of the pro league for that sport

As someone in the 160+ range, it’s not easy
