people make a big deal about IQ, but yours is probably lower than you think

[metagross]

i could hide it if i really tried, though

that's my point

self proclaimed 120 iq midwits wouldn't be able to see through the charade

but being yourself is easier

Depends on if we have enough data. IQ correlates with peer-rated intelligence, which means, if you are in the same classroom with the same people every day, people would eventually see you as having an average, below average or above average intelligence. And this would correspond to your measured IQ score.

Also standardized tests could of course also be a good indicator.

it's an easy way for internet basement dwellers to feel good about ppl who have a social life "normies"

This is true though. I would honestly rather be a 90 IQ chad, than a 130 IQ incel

If someone claims high IQ but then goes on to say it's a bad thing you can be certain they are not high IQ

THIS, thread finished

 

[metagross]

the idea that you are too high iq to share any of the hobbies or experiences that normal people have is comically pretentious

and schools usually segregate students by academic performance anyway so it is easy for smart people to gain social experience through other smart people

sounds like you are an autistic and/or depressed and/or ugly loser who finds it easier to blame everything on being smart than to just admit they are an autistic and/or depressed and/or ugly loser

Many people with extremely high IQs also happen to have autism. There is I think something that increases IQ but also is close to the genetic marker of autism. I remember reading about this.
So that could be it.

No CEOs or Ibankers (MD+) are over 140 IQ, trust me, and not talking DE Shaw or Jim Simon's or Elon.

CEOs and Ibankers (MD+) are all going to sit in th 125-135

I don't think I've seen any study where average IQ was even that high.
Even in charts like this:

the highest is 121

MDs and legit CEO not on it. they will be 5 points higher than average accountant though.

academic performance is the best way to judge iq imo

Obviously it's not perfect but people who claim high IQ but suck at school are nearly always full of shit. muh I just don't try because it's a waste of time. What a lousy excuse

Legit but I’d argue hard work and understanding of the topic as well as dopamine (drive to actually do the work) plays more of a factor. In school I was considered dumb Af in truth I never cared and didn’t understand the questions, I then went to uni I cared becuase I’m paying for the course and did the work and got highest mark possible. Did I go from a retard to a genius over the course of 3 years? Ofc not I just put more effort in understanding the topics and worked harder

iq = everything

Mensa test

I’m too lazy to sit through a 30 min IQ test, last one I did I gave up halfway through as it was taking too long ended up getting 93 despite only getting 53% into the paper. Idc about what mine is but I do know my drive is far more important
In where I’ll go in life than any genius I have
