Anon if you are reading this DO NOT take the IQ test. The truth will NOT set you free.

Do not make the same mistake as me and find out that you're a midwit who will be condemned to a life of mediocrity. Ignorance is bliss. DO NOT click the link there is nothing to be gained.

lmao i got bored in the last 5 questions and started jacking off and yall share most of your dna with me

I'm actually a member of MENSA. Ask me anything.

>>14663812
I didn’t click the link, I went to two neuropsychologists as a 16 year old. The first one gave me a weschler which found I was a solid mid wit at 115. The second one gave me a DAS which is supposed to be an iq test for adolescents or something, don’t know exactly. I was found to be a far higher percentile, with a 124 iq. Still a midwit cuck. Every day I feel stupider than the last. The iq is supposed to make me feel better, at least I’m not an actual retard, but the self doubt continues to eat away at me. I actually feel like I’ve gotten mentally slower over the years, and I’m only 18

timers fill me with anxiety and lower my functional IQ

Its okay fellow midwit. I know the feel. It's all a cascade you aren't actually losing cognitive power it's just you have been exposed to the concept of midwittery constantly on this board. Which is self perpetuating your

>>14663872
Also something I struggle with, how do I stop being riddled with self-doubt in everything I do? It undermines my confidence and keeps me from truly ever performing at my peak.

>>14663904
>>14663917
Thank u anons. Truth is I’ve been feeling this self doubt since before I found this place. I don’t really remember when it started, I think around sophomore year of Highschool. My shit grades due to not trying in school at all helped perpetuate it further, tho a part of me always wonders loudly, what if its because I was an actual retard? Oftentimes I’ll do math calculations in my head party toaurisrically dissect something to “check” if I’m still smart, so to speak, tho the math calcs only give a temporary resolve and the autistic dissection makes me feel even more retarded for some reason. I was diagnosed with high functioning autism (aspbergers but the psych said they don’t call it that anymore), and I cope by thinking that’s the reason why my processing speed is shit.

I've never taken an iq test and don't really feel the need. I used to have serious problems with my appearance and feel like having a number from the normal curve wedge itself into my core being in the same way my crooked nose or ugly cheeks did wouldn't be good for my soul. The satisfaction of working hard and achieving positive outcomes like a high GPA through that toiling is what gives me fuel. its not like discovering that i'm plain average or of MENSA brain volume will change my physical reality for the better.

Also it seems like you're just data mining OP

Wow I answer every 4 questions and guessed the rest. I don’t think it’s very accurate I got 98, when I should’ve gotten between 45-65

118

>>14663863
Have any member of MENSA actually contributed to anything except having a card that says you're smart?

>>14664018
No

>>14663754
There were 4 questions I just had absolutely no fucking clue what the answer was. Maybe if I had like an hour to sit and stare at them I could figure it out but I ran out of time.

I always score upper 120s, ~130. :3

I also don't like IQ in general as a great measure of one's intelligence.

119 here

I consistently get 128 or 129 on this test, and I’ve taken in 5 or so times. Although if I had to guess my IQ is probably 115-120.

Based dubs IQ sore.

OP, I am actually from /sci/ and it's 142.
Btw I use arch

>>14663942
The thing I learned is that you just need to accept who you are. There are things we all want to change about ourselves that we can't. I wish I was perhaps an inch or 2 taller, or was more naturally extraverted. But these never bothered me and were inconsequential.

My midwit IQ on the other hand bothered me deeply. I had placed so much value in myself being 'smart' that when I figured out I was just above average it kind of ruined me. It's cliché and cringe but you just have to accept your biology.

But even if you were a high IQ genius would your life be much better? You might have better recall and processing etc but would it matter? We all die in the end. There are probably a good number of high IQrs on this board and hundreds of thousands around the world. But like you, me, a 90IQr or a down syndrome kid we will all be merely confined to the spaces between the words of history. Forgotten for eternity. Just be happy that you existed at all anon :).

tfw your verbal iq is much higher than your nonverbal, making you feel stupid and incompetent in everyday life because you are for the most part useless

>>14664065
that one is not as accurate as the test in OP

the test in OP was only a few points off my real life MENSA result

>>14663754
67.5

>>14663754
I got 115, but I already knew I was a midwit, so in that sense I am far smarter than whatever some gay Danish test has to say.

>>14664080
based autist
what's arch?

>>14664081
Yeah but I would say that IQ is simply one type of intelligence. There are many different types of intelligence that are meaningful.

I would say that most people underrate how much influence the group making the intelligence tests has. The IQ tests, for instance, were developed by a Jewish person/group and rates the Ashkenazi Jews as the highest intelligence.

Are you really not drawing the connection on the one place where it NEEDS to be drawn, 4chan?

Fuck.

>>14663754
Who cares about IQ? It's been proven that education has a heavy correlation to IQ. You could be a genius born with nothing in the ghetto and have a lower IQ than some nitwit who went to a good school. Not only that but most scientists can even agree on what is the "real" IQ test. None of it matters anyways. The trick is knowing that an IQ doesn't matter that much and the key to knowledge is to hone it with education and reading.

>>14664145
sub-100 answer, a real smart dude would know that anything you can take a test for is anote

>>14663754
Ah fuck.
I will cope by saying that i've had a long day, am sick and lost interest at the end but I know the truth of my midwit status. No hope.

>The trick is knowing that an IQ doesn't matter that much and the key to knowledge is to hone it with education and reading.
knowledge /= intelligence

>>14663754
I call bullshit. Everyone I've seen on here who takes one of those tests saying their IQ is at least 115, typically higher. They're clearly just inflating the scores so as to bait people into paying for a real-life IQ test which they administer for a fee.

>>14664187
If you don't have negro blood, are university educated and didn't fuck yourself up with substance abuse or whatever then you'll easily be 120+

Holy fucking lmao you can't be serious.

>believing race is a contributing factor to intelligence
Automatic low IQ, although I'm sure if you take a free online IQ test then it is a given that your not a very smart person

>>14664187
>t. midwit
people who got shit scores aren't generally going to post it
and i wouldn't be surprised if people on 4chan/ internet forums in general, not least the ones dedicated to intellectual pursuits like reading tended to be more intelligent than your average person

>>14664209

123. That feels right.

What are your favourite books? I've just started reading seriously so whatever level you enjoy books on is where i'm at too.
Or the test is just stupid idk.

>>14664081
Thank you for your advice anon
>My midwit IQ on the other hand bothered me deeply. I had placed so much value in myself being 'smart' that when I figured out I was just above average it kind of ruined me
That described me perfectly. It’s truly reassuring to know there are others like me

>>14664218
>Can't present legitimate argument
>Points out a grammar mistake
Sure showed me. How can I compete with your supreme intelligence?

>>14664209
I don't know whether its entirely their genes or their circumstances or whatever (My research on the matter seems to indicate the former but this isn't my field so I digress) but the fact that blacks have lower IQ's isn't debatable.

>>14663754
103 IQ. Is this the reason why I can't enjoy big boy literature and will always prefer Stephen King to Proust?

>>14664240
I live in the Deep South. Believe me, my experience is that if you come from a poor shitty area, unless you are a genius. You are going to have a low IQ. Race is not a factor when it comes to intelligence simple as that. You cannot logically expect one entire group of millions of people to all be less intelligent than everyone else. It is not only morally wrong it is logically wrong

Though our abilities may not be up to par with our expectations, the fact we remain aware of it is something worth acknowledging.

>>14664264
They’ve done actual studies on the heritability of iq anon. Separated twins, gene mapping etc etc. that being said, there is an observed pattern among some poorer families with tons of children, where 9/10 members will be similar retard iq but one will be miraculously high. Forgot the name of the effect. I will however concede that the samples that Lynn used in most of the countries he tested, and that meme iq map everyone slams, is pure bs

>>14664264
I'm not saying all blacks are unintelligent, just on average.
I understand what you're saying anon but expecting one entire group of millions of people who have very different bodies due to their genetics (skulls immediately distinguishable, need different medicine, fast-twitch muscle fibers, melanin ofc) to not also have different brains due to genetics is also logically wrong.
I promise i'm not /pol/ack, hell they don't seem to realise that by their own logic ashkenazi jews are the master race and deserve to rule us, but I also cannot pretend that the politically correct stance on race and IQ is entirely true.

>>14664264
I cant tell if youre just blissfully innocent of the literature or one of these dishonest types, either way abandon thread

128, felt there were only 3 that i couldnt recognize the pattern for, i probably made some stupid mistakes too, cope i suppose

105 high school dropout with APD here. I'm a Boiler Technician and I'm reasonably happy. Press buttons, read meters, do basic arithmetic, get money. Everyone in this thread who is afraid to take an IQ test should do it. It will help you set realistic expectations for yourself.

I tryharded and took the full 40 minutes since i need validation that i'm intelligent. Seems like many people are getting 128 with a spread of 15.

>>14664348
Good chance there's something wrong with it. I'll have to get tested for real soon enough then. Like mister trips >>14664333 said, it'll help set realistic expectations. Only a coward doesn't want to know.

>>14664324
I was born and have lived in Georgia for my entire life except for one year when I lived in a shitty part of Michigan (which is the same as the South but cold) and then moved back. You simply cannot expect every member of a group that has hundreds of millions of people in it to behave and be predisposed exactly the same way when you only sample members of that group. To think so is illogical and immoral. Not only that but holding much stock in an online IQ test like the one OP posted is probably the surest sign of being a dumbass which is all I have left to say

>Also yah abandon thread

>>14664372
>You simply cannot expect every member of a group that has hundreds of millions of people in it to behave and be predisposed exactly the same way when you only sample members of that group
But that's not remotely what anybody implied. It's a normal distribution

I got 96 bros. Stay out of my cave.

Just use your SAT or GRE scores instead of online IQ tests. It correlates pretty closely (eg. If your a 1000 SAT your probably between 95 to 100 IQ).

138 from psych-administered test
150 in the verbal-linguistic battery
I am a complete dumbass without any discernible talent. This is not a humble-brag, it is an expression of pure honesty. Don't fall for the meme. I am one of many 'intelligent' guys who is going nowhere at breakneck speed.

The real midwittery is continuing to pigeonhole yourself. I was given a 100IQ but I was delusional and psychotic at the time. Thank god I don't know my real IQ. But even if I did, I wouldn't care nor I would I disqualify myself from reading Critique of Pure Reason or Phenomenology of the Spirit or whatever.

>>14664348
Yeah, got the exact same result as you.

>>14663754
124, higher than I thought it would be.

is it beta not wanting to know what your iq is?

>>14664693
ye

>>14664640
This. Imagine basing your self-worth on a three-digit number assigned to you by jews. People who take these things to heart are pathetic.

for some of us it may be the only thing we have going for ourselves

No

>is reading books correlated with high iq
Yes. I've been reading since I learned how. Reading speed, retention, concentration is ten more developed than most people.

I scored 102 but I started to fall asleep. I usually score b/w 112 and 120. Still think I'm a fucking retard tho

>>14664781
Why?

>>14663754
An IQ test is the bane of this board. So many midwits on here are terrified of the truth that they already know--that they come on here to pretend to be smart, name-dropping obscure and difficult books and offering sweeping opinions on authors that they've only heard about and not read, yet all of that posturing and pseudo-intelligence is utterly undermined by their fixed midwit IQ. They feel like the biggest fraud in the world everyday because they're trying to be something they're not. Coming on here and intellectually dick measuring with their reading lists gives them an artificial feeling of being smart. It's not customary to provide long critiques of works online, so they can hide their lack of understanding behind that. They aren't fooling themselves though, and that makes them even more insecure, and forces them to have more harsh opinions on authors that they haven't read, since having strong opinions implicitly states that you understand what you have a strong opinion about. Yet they don't. They're frauds. Having a midwit IQ slows down their reading, reduces their comprehension, inhibits their recollection, and they're terrified of that. They're so vain that they actually fantasize about being intelligent. All of their self-worth is derived from their intelligence precisely because they aren't intelligent. They distort reading into an IQ test every time that they pick up a book. It's more important to "get" a book than to enjoy it. "Getting" it validates their intelligence. Yet the process is tortured because they're just smart enough to be aware of how stupid this is, while being unable to do anything about it. It's a serious vanity trap.

>>14663754
I got 133. I’m disappointed in myself. I spent over 15 minutes on one of the simpler questions, then I didn’t have enough time to spot the patterns in the last 2.

>>14663754
Got bored on the 5th question lmao
I still btfo retards here all the time tho

>>14663754
137, but my verbal linguistic IQ has been tested as high as 148.

>>14664489
Thanks for the cope

I always feel smarter after browsing /lit/. Even if you aren't smart, it makes you feel smarter, and the people here without a doubt discuss ideas and concepts that are far and away more intelligent then anywhere else on 4chan at the very least.

>>14665330
>Even if you aren't smart, it makes you feel smarter
That's exactly the problem. It doesn't make you any smarter because everyone here is an insecure midwit larping as an intelligent, well-read person.

>>14665340
The ultimate joke of the whole "mount stupid" thing is that the person who is arrogant about their lack of competence is still more competent then someone who hasn't even tried.

>>14665263
Sounds like a lot of projection to me desu

IQ is a pseudostatistic. It was originally meant to gauge the progress of schoolchildren. I believe that the original creator despised that it was being used to determine how smart someone is.

I've moved on from a lot of that behavior. But yes, in my younger days, I was undoubtedly a pseud.

I got 126. Honestly I suspect that I'm sub 100 so I suspect that the test is inaccurate.

Sorry for the schizoposting, but honestly you shouldn't trust any kind of testing like this to be legitimate. Why wouldn't they cheat to legitimize their own?

>>14665645
Sorry to keep spamming, but the significance is that "CIA Truth Serum" became anxiety and depression medication.

142, I already did a test so I don't think is fair, also, don't let this page make you believe you are a midwit, this is only a visual logic exercise, in a real IQ test the result of this single test would be averaged with other exercises, one of those exercises is comprehension, and I believe that in this test most of you would actually get above average grades. If you get a low score here it just means that you have low logic.
