Metacognition mogs IQpill

[IHATEINDIANS]

Metacognition (thinking about your own thinking, ability to reflect on your own thoughts and your self opinion etc) ability mogs raw IQ imo.

A lot of people mistake metacognitive ability as a trait of high IQ even though they are only somewhat correlated. It's very useful to have the ability to tell when you are biased, don't actually know something as well as you originally thought etc

Even if you are fairly high IQ, without good metacognition you don't actually learn WHY things you do work well, so you more or less never even learn anything, and you can't actually explain how you got to thinking of an answer which makes you seem less legitimate. A lot of high iq, low metacognition people assume they're good at everything because their IQ helps them on a specific subject and get very overconfident.

If you're low IQ and have high metacognitive abilities then you can actually determine what answers of yours are stupid and when to let someone else speak which already makes you 10x more valuable than most people. You may not know answers but at least you can tell that you don't which stops you from making things worse.

Much more brutal, because without sufficient metacognition you never know if you're underestimating something, guessing it accurately or overestimating for sure.

Nah not really imo it just enables you to be that much more aware of how much of a blubbering genetic failure you are and how utterly impossible any form of escape is

They're probably very highly correlated, metacognition and IQ

The brutal suffering of having high metacognition, self awareness, self consciousness, conscientiousness, and philosophical tendentiousness is not something I would wish upon anyone.

I personally find that more valuable than not knowing how much of a failure you are and never understanding why you're such an outcast but I guess it varies person to person.

Probably. I think it's unlikely to have below average metacognition as a high IQ person but not necessarily impossible, I do think they are generally somewhat aligned although I don't think it matches perfectly. (like a 95th percentile IQ guy having 75th percentile metacognition, 40th iq percentile with 55th metacognitive percentile etc)

Elite metacognition gives you a window into your brain's inner workings at all times and allows you to systematize everything comprehensively edit what's going on in your brain based on the circumstance.

High Raw IQ with massive gaps between their iq and metacognition being lower) just know things but don't sufficiently know how they go there, how, and if their biases may have got in the way, despite being smart.

Do Haitian cannibals have good metacognition?
