The concept of IQ is so brutal and unfair that it's impossible to swallow for most people

[JustLikeAWoman]

yeah but i said that people with high iq tend to be depressive i didnt say anything about avg iq people

The highest proportion saying they were "very happy" was found in people with an IQ between 120 and 129 - 43% said they were very happy.

 

[Deleted member 2205]

I think it's diminishing results after while.

Like having an IQ above 110 really doesn't do you that much better in the long run.
If you have above average IQ, then luck + work ethic is a lot more important.

 

[Avoidant]

Who the fuck cares about IQ. I'd rather be 90 IQ and born into a billionaire family than be a genius born into a poor family. The genius is very likely never going to make that much in his lifetime and would still have to work extremely hard for it. All that matters in this world is money and validation.

"6,870 people" this doesnt say shit plus 120-129 iq is considered above average but not high

"Absolute cope"? Have you even read correlations between IQ and success? What makes you think I'm coping?​

Low iq detected.

That's a pretty significant correlation.

Fucking cope. 120-130 IQ is necessary.

Of course, a really hard working 123 IQ guy can beat a lazy 138 guy.

It's considered superior.

you haven't done them ? mensacels say http://test.mensa.no/ is as legit as it can get online for 115+IQ range

IQ121 in that test you linked and scored 124 in other test. Measured 113-115 at age of I think 13 or 14 by psychologist. I am less successful in every aspect of life: dating, education, job than average 90IQ person.

Muh iq is cope.

Wrong. 123 to 138 is not that big of a difference in normal tasks like math or English.
With similar work ethic and career paths, both people will earn the same. Higher IQ than 110 is really only beneficial when theorizing, not when fucking studying. Quit being autistic and blaming everything on predetermined factors.

Starting to think you're legitimately autistic.

There's no coping in this. Higher IQ has a correlation with more success. Just saying muh the data tested wasn't the same as individual success doesn't add to your argument at all.

IQ literally means you are better at learning. A person with higher IQ is simply better at retaining information. This doesn't directly mean better success but there is significant correlation.
Next time you try and make a statement, maybe get some evidence and stop typing like an idiot.

 

[currymax]

IQ is not a efficient tool to measure intelligence, IQ or g is a psychometric that is very misunderstood in the public eye. Having an average IQ doesn't preclude you from succeeding in academics. Generally speaking intelligence has different forms which can be applied, since the human brain hasn't been fully explored and studied you shouldn't take intelligence as straightforward fact or black and white.

keep coping, sunhuman

 

[Deleted member 2205]

There is definitely a general trend, and the there is little correlation after 110 @JustLikeAWoman.
IQ doesn't predetermine success, but having a higher IQ is definitely beneficial.

 

[Deleted member 245]

Agree with everything except the last sentence. No anount of IQ is worth being 5'5".

"The Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Achievement (WJ-III-ACH) is an individually administered standardized assessment battery of academic achievement. "

Funny how aggressive you are, I didn't even quote you but you already want to call me names and prove how wrong I am using general statements about IQ impact yet numbers that only prove a strong correlation with academic success. I guess I am pretty successful in life with my 1-year-to-get bachelor degree.​

Meanwhile the most useful study on success correlations (several metrics present, as I remember) is straight first in the Google index. Shame that the correlations there are far from supporting your own position, so don't bother​

Having a high IQ is mostly a double-edged sword. The smartest people I’ve met in my life (no I am not talking about frauding Quora users that think they’re high-IQ) all had something severely mentally wrong with them. It’s not even a stereotype; the smartest people you will meet are 11/10 on the autism spectrum for the most part and have a completely fucked social life when it comes to making friends or having success with women.

 

[SexuallyAbusive]

I'd much rather be 5ft5 140 IQ than 6ft5 100 IQ.

 

[StoicNihilist]

People with an IQ of 85 typically can't do work beyond repetative labor

People with an IQ of 100 typically cannot handle education beyond community college

Keep coping. If your IQ is below 110, you have very little shot at the american dream

Super brutal.

My mom drank and did drugs when she was pregnant with me so my IQ has no doubt been affected.

I haven't been able to do much besides basic jobs like being a janitor or dish washer. And even then, I've been homeless a few times. I tried community college, but was unable to handle the course load of more complex topics like intro to calculus.

I can tell you all fucking first hand, that the "IQ is just a number" platitude is complete and utter bullshit. Your intelligence level sets the bar for what you can truly accomplish in life. Saying otherwise is coping.

Interesting insight. I also read somewhere about effect "smart people tend to be doubting in themself while stupid people are more confident" or something like that, I think even Jordan peterson was talking about it.

 

[Dogs]

Low-IQ decision
If you're > 80, nothing stops you from making money, from having a good insight in life, from understanding any shit you need to in order to be successful etc.​

If you're 80-90 you can be successful in terms of making an above average salary but that's the exception rather than the rule. If you're 80-90 you will literally never be a doctor or engineer it's just impossible at that range.

That's why IQ is cope and doesn't mean shit. As I said I am 124IQ yet I am complete loser in life, forever NEET and no degree. According to some graphs above I should be fucking doctor. JFL at people who think IQ = predetermined success.

Iq is the hard floor to success it doesn't mean you'll be successful in the least, not even close, but if you can't even reach that floor you're guaranteed not to be able to be successful besides a pure outlier.

Interesting insight. I also read somewhere about effect "smart people tend to be doubting in themself while stupid people are more confident" or something like that, I think even Jordan peterson was talking about it.

Idiots always misquote that effect also it's usually ironically. It has nothing to do with smart people and more to do with intelligence in a particular domain. When you're new to something (doesn't matter if you're a genius or dumb as a rock) you tend to overestimate your proficiency in that particular domain. It isn't until you learn more that you realize how much you really don't know. I don't think once did that study mention iq and idiots online use that to make fun of 'dumb' people jfl at the irony

I honestly think this is one of the typical shit that you find on Buzzfeed "signs you're very smart" articles that include every dumb shit people do (sleep less, eat like shit, do nothing all day) as a high IQ trait.

I don't really think there is significant correlation between self-awareness and IQ.

[Mayorga]

That's why I don't wanna test mine. I find it better to keep myself believing that I'm in the 110-115 range (which is plausible since I'm pursuing medicine in a top school) and just stay motivated rather than do a test, find out I'm below that range and lose hope.

How do you know they are "not so smart"?

You can never tell.

And of course, there are people who don't need to worry about IQ, because they can get laid with their looks.

It still doesn't change the importance IQ has for most people.

Not really that, people just don't understand that not everyone wants to do high IQ shit and doesn't really care about making the world a better place by working in research or STEM. Though they'll be brushed off as "low IQ" for not having the same autistic interests as them. Also they seem to heavily underestimate hard work, or conscientiousness as JBP says.

For example if you believe that PhDs are just mad scientists that rot in their basement and just read everything in seconds and process them without putting effort cause of high IQ then you're extremely out of touch with reality. Most stuff in advanced open problems barely relies on fluid intelligence.

I'm 6'3 128 IQ. My height is great, but my IQ is too low. I'm still ordinary and unremarkable.

I've read about geniuses like von Neumann being able to read a book and recite every letter of every page years later. Genius IQ is so damn valuable. There's no similar thing for height, but there is for face. A one in a million good looking face is just as priceless as one in a million intelligence.

You are absolutley retarded despite your IQ if you actually believe that.

At 128 you are intelligent enough for everything.
