it's good and healthy to cry

Ik. It's hard rn to cry for so e reason. I can't quite do it. I usually can.

 

[hypernormie]

15 but I feel like I can do way better also a question I never asked anyone. Does iq increase while you get older or no because Ill turn 15 in 2 weeks so idk if 15 points is good

IQ itself is extremely stable throughout life only showing large variance as a result of injury or significant impairment. Scoring 15 at 14 is very good, however the peak of fluid intelligence occurs around the age of 17, so you may actually be able to score higher. IQ remains stable until mid 20's and gradually decreases about a half a point a year thereafter. This may be significantly mitigated by active efforts to prevent decline as the average data is taken from the general population who it is presumed is not doing anything of the sort.

IQ is a reflection of the brain's neuronal density, speed and efficiency, factors which are largely controlled by genetics. The variance in IQ is determined about 80% by genetics, with the other 20% being environmental factors. Everyone's IQ is capped at a certain point because everyone's genetics differ in how much energy their biology is adapted to expend energy on cognitive functioning. You can train to maximize your utilization of the system you have, but you cannot train to surpass the limit determined by your genetics, to do so would mean altering the expression or presence of various genes. High cognitive functioning or high IQ is a reflection of a large, dense, fast and efficiently organized neurological system, usually the result of an ancestral history in environments that made low intelligence highly costly (death) thus forcing an adaptation towards greater cognitive complexity.

also got 15

A bunch of moggers on this site, perhaps it's selection bias.

Ever got your IQ tested?

not officially but i got 128 on the mensa test online

 

[NotAMogger]

The test on human benchmark is much faster than this.

Blocked emotions. Your system doesn't feel safe enough to cry at the moment because it doesn't yet perceive the threat to be over. This is called trauma. I haven't read your post yet but breakups can be traumatic. To clarify, I'm not suggesting you should feel anything in particular at the moment, trauma is processed how it's processed, and that may be through active efforts to redress harm or maybe you need to just sit with how you feel and things will work themselves out over time. The important thing is to not judge yourself for how you're feeling, because judgement is not safety and we only express sensitive emotions when we feel safe.

Goatis explains it quite well.

Never done it. faster how? Meaning shorter exposure to the pattern?

 

[hypernormie]

Good score. Was it Mensa.no, Mensa.dk?

Mensa says if you score within a few points of qualification on the online test, you have a good chance of qualifying on the real thing.

 

[hypernormie]

Precisely.

The therapist said she usually plans how many tests I take each time I see her, but it's also not totally set in stone. Sometimes I go and do 4-5 tests, sometimes I spend too much time talking to her and end up barely going through 1.

Sure, I could tell you a few.

• Memorizing sequences of numbers and letters, then spelling everything backwards
• Mental math
• Basic education knowledge
• Raven's matrices and other stuff that is not quite but very similar
• Organizing cards in a logical sequence (usually it's cards with figures that tell an implicit story)
• Personality questionnaires
• Tower of London test
• Puzzles like organizing cubes of different colors to form a specific image
• Give the definition and meaning of a particular word

Also valid to mention that most puzzle-like tests have a time limit.

Yes standard protocol. It's interesting to learn they do (or can) administer it in sequences rather than as a complete one time battery.

How are you feeling about your performance so far? Anything in particular stand out as uniquely difficult or easy?

 

[NotAMogger]

Meaning shorter exposure to the pattern?

Yeah

.no

 

[hypernormie]

Yeah

I'll have to try it out. Shorter than 3 seconds seems interesting. That's incredibly restrictive. What is your max score on that version?

 

[hypernormie]

.no

Maybe check out your local Mensa chapter

 

[MoggedSubhuman]

I feel dumb. I only got 13 because some of the patterns just happened to be simple geometric shapes

 

[NotAMogger]

Don’t remember my max score because I did it a long time ago, but it wasn’t exceptionally high. I think it was 11 or 12 since I remember averaging 10.

 

[hypernormie]

How did you get to 18?

Doesn't the game get perma stuck on 15? or at least I was stuck there, did like 20 times the same level and no new block came?

i'm assuming 15 did not feel like your limit?

 

[nobodylovesme]

i'm assuming 15 did not feel like your limit?

Yeah, not really. I've done the human benchmark one and get like 17-19 on that usually, so it wasn't too hard.

Did this just now:

 

[hypernormie]

13 is above average by 2 squares so don't feel dumb. That score is technically superior.

 

[hypernormie]

Ah I see you've practiced so that alters the interpretation a bit but it's still very impressive.

Someone else commented that the exposure time on that version is shorter, is that true?

Yeah, I've done it a couple of times, but it hasn't really changed where I started. Got 17 on first try and 18 on next (iirc). (Done these like a few times)

Hmm, it is kinda similar, but easier tbh, as the screen stays still

That’s really weird. I got 13 on OP’s test, but only 10 on the human benchmark one.

 

[julioo27_]

4 am over here but i think its good for my first try, maybe i could get to like 17-18 if i focus like im on my finals

 

[hypernormie]

I see the difference, it doesn't immediately progress upon each success and also doesn't immediately penalize you for errors, which allows more guessing around to find the right answer. It's a bit less rigorous. 17 is still impressive. I wonder how high you can score on the playparty version if it doesn't glitch out at 15.

 

[hypernormie]

Interesting because the humanbenchmark version seems easier

Very good. Try again when you feel more prepared. I'd be curious to see if you can. Seems most people posting their results are maxing out at 15.

 

[fatblackjewishwoman]

yes bro we are all top 98% jfl

also got 15

 

[BeanCelll]

15 on this and the benchmark one, but I have more experience with the benchmark from a long time ago.

I'm capped at 15 though, took until my last attempt.

 

[EthiopianMaxxer]

im too scared to do it ngl

i feel like i'll be disappointed with my result

 

[NotAMogger]

Also OP, you need to consider that people can cheat by screenshotting the page before the tiles become hidden, and show a score that’s higher than what it should’ve been.

 

[EthiopianMaxxer]

oh shit i actually got 14

i do not believe that 5-7 is average lmao

 

[julioo27_]

Very good. Try again when you feel more prepared. I'd be curious to see if you can. Seems most people posting their results are maxing out at 15.

take it for granted, btw i see you also are into psychometrics, i hyperfixated hard on it back when i was 16 or so, spent a whole year rotting on r/cognitiveTesting, made me blackpilled without ever me knowing it

im not surprised at people here getting high scores, i think you have to be roughly +1 sd if you found this forum on your own, normies spend their time on shit like soccer and gossip, not lookism

 

[hypernormie]

yes bro we are all top 98% jflView attachment 4544346

From what I can tell that is genuinely a top 98% score. I was equally skeptical but if you look at the norms for standard version of this test, average sits around 9-10. Feel free to check for yourself.

A couple of the scorers also report tested IQ's in the 125+ range which is far from normal sample size. Having three people comment with IQ's above 130 or very close is already not a typical population by definition. People have posted scores below 15.

 

[hypernormie]

View attachment 4544366

average is closer to 9-11 on the standard clinical version of this test, but that version doesn't immediately progress in difficulty the way this one does.

Yes, I don't imagine we are representative of the population, nor do i imagine the people commenting their scores are even a representative population of even the people on this forum who took the test

Since you've spent time on that sub I imagine you've taken a few tests. Mind sharing your score(s)?

The Visual Patterns Test (VPT) is the gold-standard neuropsychological assessment used to measure Visual Short-Term Memory (VSTM).

It was developed (most notably by Della Sala et al. in 1997) to isolate the capacity to remember static visual information ("what it looks like") distinct from spatial memory ("where it is").

This test measures Visual Short-Term Memory (VSTM) capacity, specifically isolating the visual cache.

It assesses the maximum amount of static visual information (pattern and form) an individual can hold in immediate memory, distinct from spatial memory (location or sequence).

By increasing the complexity after every success until a "3-strike" failure, the test establishes the user's Visual Span—the absolute upper threshold of visual items the brain can simultaneously retain before information overload occurs.

Take the test once in while in a relaxed state.

My score is 15, what's yours?

i got 15

yo same stats, mensa norway right?
did you get 142 on it when you were like 11 or 12?

 

[hypernormie]

15 on this and the benchmark one, but I have more experience with the benchmark from a long time ago.

I'm capped at 15 though, took until my last attempt.

Are you saying you were somewhat practiced? Or was that not really a factor?

Also did you feel like you could achieve higher in better conditions or did that feel like your true limit?

 

[hypernormie]

i got 15

What's the problem? That's a good score, don't be dissuaded by @Mess hitting 18, that result is genuinely absurd

 

[hypernormie]

i got 15

Ever been IQ tested?

i think ive gotten stupider since i was 11

not officially, just online mensa norway
i got 142 when i was 11 and recent got 128
am actually convinced i got stupider somehow

Yeah it's interesting fs

gonna do the eriksen flanker task on the site and see what i get

Intelligence is the ultimate blackpill anyway. Arguably even above looks.

Low scores, of course, would rarely be reported here, though, and lying is far from uncommon.
I wouldn’t be able to confidently vow for the average IQ in this subgroup to be significantly above the general population average.

nigga its finished bro
i feel like the bottleneck isnt my perception but whether my hand can react accordingly with what im thinking

i think if it wasnt for the tiktok influx there was definitely a point where average iq of the forum (and other similar ones) was higher than the average, even if by a little. average person 100iq is genuinely incapable of forming a unique opinion or thought from my experience

Probably, but differences in average age and real-life experience also likely account for the perceived drop in intelligence.
Back then the average user was easily 18+, now it’s somewhere between 14-17.
