It's definitely above average by like 16 points if I recall correctly, so that's good. I also have autism and I have this hypothesis that autistic people put more effort into mental things/technical things to compensate for social shortcomings or deficits.

That's why I always get so frustrated when I complain about the autistic experience to my mother and she says oh but "nikola tesla" and "einstein" what she fails to understand is yes, these people are smart but I believe most of this is because of them compensating for a social deficit

you're def einstein iq
Getting personal instead of accepting criticism. You're truly retarded and your score means nothing

You wouldn't ask this question if you knew that you're smart.

The same way ugly people always ask if they're beautiful

it's good enough for anything besides quant research or trading or hardcore AI research tbh
what do you need to do to become a quant researcher??? i need to figure this out so my kids become smart if thats how it works (which it probably doesnt because i know iq comes mainly from genetics)

Its good for anybody, what actually matters is how you fit into your environment. I did the biggest mistake of acting a bit perverted at my old school so essentially I got picked on by females or just isolated.

Mask your micro expressions, talk more neurotypical like, and follow what they follow. Its so fucking grueling I know but its def better than being bullied a shit ton.

1) minimum 125 IQ, ideally 130 IQ+ with strong mathematical reasoning (minimum 35-36 Math on ACT or close to 800 on the SAT Math section without studying)
2) attend a top school (ideally MIT but Harvard/Stanford also good; perhaps UC Berkeley)
3) conduct math, physics, or CS research by sophomore/junior year
4) study probability, statistics, ML + games/estimation (depends on the company) for interviews
5) luck

land a QR internship the summer after junior year (or the summer after senior year if you take a 5th year) and be in the 25-70% of people that get a return offer (depends on company)

Lots of people with the requisite smarts just get unlucky with recruiting as well. You don't have to be a genius or super autistic but that certainly helps.

If you're able to do this, be good looking, in shape, and not autistic you will have a lot of edge. But that's quite rare.

i mean don't tiger parent too much that's how you get burnout

make sure health in early childhood and adolescence is good - not just for looks or height but also for brain development and IQ
but don't cortisolmaxx them like every asian family does, encourage diverse interests (art, music, etc. based on what the child actually likes, especially after early childhood)

but push them hard enough in HS such that getting into a top school is possible without degrading the social experience or neglecting health/looks/height.

much better to be a tall, socially adjusted person with a good high school experience making $100-150k after college than a short, socially maladapted person with a bad high school experience making $300k-500k+ after college

remember, for most guys you don't need THAT much money to be happy/independent; $150k is usually more than enough. the only reason you'd want more is for a WIFE AND FAMILY and so there's no point in moneymaxxing just to be a betabux provider and be sad or alone
