The Curse of the High IQ Anonymous Mon Jun 15 22:21:39 2020 No.15618549 [Reply] [Original]

Thoughts on this? It seemed to explain a good number of things that I've experienced in my life. I'm not a fucking galaxy brain, but my IQ falls somewhere around 126 so I'm a bit higher than average. There's no way to not sound like a faggot when talking about "m'uh superior intelligence", so whatever.

It doesn't apply to a 126 IQ, you're just living on easy mode in society. You might be a bit worse off for a couple things(number of children for example) but the point at which you start to get actually shut out of society is like 140 or 150iq.

I think it's a disadvantage in a relationship because in order for it even to be a possibility one is forced to dumb oneself down, that is pretend to be someone other than oneself. Don't be fooled. The stupider of any duo is always the one 'in charge' because more fully him or herself

Well I mean 126 puts me in the the ~95th percentile, so the vast vast majority of people aren't """on my level""". That said I can still function, and it's completely true that you're basically fucked once you get up into the 140s and above.

This is a main theme. I notice it pretty frequently when if I'm at any kind of normal social function, but it doesn't completely impede me from functioning. Again I say you're completely fucked at 140 and above. It must be like dealing with children on a daily basis.

>The probability of entering and remaining in an intellectually elite profession such as Physician, Judge, Professor, Scientist, Corporate Executive, etc. increases with IQ to about 133. It then falls about 1/3 by 140. By 150 IQ the probability has fallen by 97%! In other words, a significant percentage of people with IQs over 140 are being systematically and, most likely inappropriately, excluded from the population that addresses the biggest problems of our time or who are responsible for assuring the efficient operation of social, scientific, political and economic institutions.

>"Over an extensive range of studies and with remarkable consistency, from Physicians to Professors to CEOs, the mean IQ of intellectually elite professions is about 125 and the standard deviation is about 6.5. For example, Gibson and Light found that 148 members of the Cambridge University faculty had a mean IQ of 126 with a standard deviation of 6.3. The highest score was 139."

There are loops and feedback loops, attempting to be nice and just faking it- so 'recollecting' the bed one's made isn't the same as lying in it. Haven't read the book but have experienced this. Also there's the awkwardness of acquaintances and even friends and family going on and on about 'how intelligent' one is with subtle maliciousness, etc. It can lead a man to read books!

I can almost 100% guarantee that the individuals in the 130s are able to be more well rounded individuals with better social skills. 140 iqs and higher most likely do not give a shit what other people think, because they understand they are above the rest.

Tested at 155 a year or so ago, can confirm. I have friends in the 120-130 range and they coast through life racking up promotions and cheap praise from normies who think they're smart.

Once you get much higher than that, talking to normal people is so boring that you end up with essentially no desire to do it - and you can't succeed at life as an antisocial hermit.

I feel so bad for the people who legitimately are failures in life because their iq is too high.

I tested in the 140s and I don't always feel this way just because I'm a complete retard socially, which makes me see everybody else as better in some way i the abstract. I just feel that way dating, especially with men who tend to feel like they're einstein on any given topic. Once you see enough of that from a person it feels like babysitting.

The ultimate pill is realizing that everyone else is hopelessly retarded and there is nothing you can or should do to change this. It takes a lot of fucking time and practice, but don't get mad about things you can't change. Realize that this world is complete chaos and stop caring. Have a brew, light a dart, and be content with your existence. That doesn't mean you should rot in a basement and drink yourself to death, but don't let stupid nebulous shit play any role in determining your general happiness man holy God. Interacting with peers from 17-21 showed me the fundamental importance of this, even for someone with an IQ of 126. I cannot imagine how much more poignant this would be for someone in your position. I have a meme degree that led to an easy but consistent and bearable career, so this single realization was THE most useful thing I learned in university. It does get better. We're all gonna make it, bud.

why not do the vagrant thing, if only for a few years? it might give you some appreciation for the normie shit you're talking about (I struggle with that mundane stuff too, admittedly).

I can't recall the name of the phenomenon off the top of my head, or what the exact number was, but it was something like a 20-30 IQ point difference making it difficult for either party to understand or effectively communicate with each other. So, at ~140, that makes the vast majority of the population difficult to converse with. Even at a university, where the average is higher, that still might be the case.

Speaking anecdotally, there's a few things that creep people out that come naturally to me (143). I almost never forget names, even of people I was barely ever aquainted with, and I very rarely ever forget conversations. Its surprising that people talk and expect you to instantly forget the topic of your conversation; when you say "yeah, you already told me about that" a week or two later, you look like a freak in their eyes.

That's pretty interesting. for someone at ~125, that basically means that meaningfully communicating with anybody right at or below the average of about 100 (varying by country) is almost undoable. Now for those anons clocking in at around 150, that eliminates most of the planet.

Ah, makes sense. I grew up in a pretty shitty school district all my life so I don't think they ever gave us any growing up. Not too sure I would even want to take one desu. On one hand, I feel if I did have a high IQ, there's no point in knowing because my life will eventually reflect that. On the other hand, if I find out I have a low IQ, it would just put a damper on my esteem and serve no purpose. The only thing harder than being retarded is being a retard with low self-esteem.
I suppose in some cases ignorance is better.

This. I fell for one of these shill threads and read it (fuck off, Aaron, I know it's you). How am I supposed to take you seriously as a supergenius when you can't keep the tenses of your sentences straight? It becomes almost constant in the latter half of the book. Learn some fucking grammar, Christ. And this is after he mocks English classes as unneccessary because "I grew up speaking English." You're the guy they're meant for, Aaron. Then there's the endless bragging about some excel spreadsheet he created and how he turned down a bank teller job because they wanted him to smile at customers and he thought was a dumb job requirement.

Yes. You can make up for it with conscientiousness, to a degree where you can lead a fulfilling life.

Understand that IQ is not G, it correlates with your general intelligence but is only two of at least half a dozen factors(IQ measures primarily logical problem solving and verbal skills).

With an IQ of 90, you are perfectly capable of learning and mastering almost every task that people deal with in life. It will take you longer to learn them, but most things remain within your power.

You've been dealt a bad hand in one sense, but there are high IQ people who's innate disposition will cripple them, due to mental illness or inherent sloth.

The basic structure of competence is as follows.

IQ determines an upper limit on the difficulty of what you can learn. It determines the rate at which you achieve competence in the task. Once you've achieved competence, further success is dictated by your conscientiousness, which is a personality trait separate from intelligence, one that is improvable.

At 90 IQ, you can reasonably achieve success in a large majority of potential careers, are intelligent enough that finding a suitable partner is not unduly onerous, and intelligent enough to raise children. That is, the basic things which people look at as success are all available to you.

Examples of careers someone with your IQ is potentially well suited for are:
Sales
Trades
Driving
Law Enforcement
Teaching Elementary school
Management

Some sociologists (can't remember which ones) did a study on perception of intelligence. They identified three cues that most people perceive as "stupidity":

1. Confidence in spite of ignorance (Dunning-Kruger effect)
2. Tunnel vision, being oblivious to things that are right in front of your face
3. Lack of self-discipline, not being able to control your emotions

Now, note that none of these are related to IQ. Jews have high IQ, and most of them exhibit all of these traits in spades.

I ve never been tested, but I ve always struggled to find my place and to fit in with normal people and I ve always been depressed. I was a bit weird as a kid and until I hit puberty I did very well in school. After that I stopped caring about school, in my second year of highschool I feel into a deep depression (this time clinical) and my life fell appart pretty much, got institutionalized at the most infamous looney bin in my country, my file said I was above average intelligence wise, the shrink told me I am above 120 but I am not sure what that means, due to my fucked up meds I didnt go to highschool the last years. Now I am still a fuck up. I dropped out of college once and now I do horrible in school mainly because I hate law and I cant remember shit when I try to study. I dont think I am smart because I am a fucking soon to be failure, I think my problems stem from being autistic or some other mental shit like that, also maybe meds who might have played a part. The only thing that made things better was the fact that I am an orthodox christian (I am southeastern european, not a larper)

141. It could be higher but that's what I was given. I feel like there's a component of subtlety that can be compartmentalized in every bracket of intelligence. Those near the lower end of the spectrum understand more brute, immediate, and upfront discussion. "Do this." resonates and can be clearly understood, but there is little room for the nuances of explaining an idea, such as how something works and why it does this. You merely take this concept and apply it to every level of intelligence, comparing someone from above and someone from below. Every time you will have someone unable to understand the nuances, and they want a more direct explanation, an immediate conclusion. This upsets the more intelligent person, because they're trying to explain and the lower intelligence cannot understand, even though at times you think you are being clear and concise. I would think that this type of problem causes issues in social, financial, and the philosophical, and so you seem like an outsider to someone of lower intelligence, because either you cannot find a way to explain your ideas to them, or they cannot understand you, no matter how hard you try. I would bet this concept goes all the way to the highest that man has to offer, and it must be awfully lonely the higher you go.

While I do think the troubles of the more conscious often contain greater profundity, I think the notion of intellect being the cause of woe terribly masturbatory. The concept we have of the idea of "the troubled genius" and not the adverse is not that stupid people have a easier time being happy, but rather those who are sad and stupid cannot articulate or perhaps even comprehend their own turmoil where those who are more lucid can. Consciousness is the true freedom of man, and those who wish there's diminished for a nonexistent answer don't deserve it -- they clearly think too highly of their intellect in order to suggest something so uncerebral. You think an insect blissful? Or a dog? Ape? Oaf? Consciousness allows for true bliss through understanding, the greater the understanding, the greater the capacity. A man of action has the same problems as you, a man of thought can only better ponder them, and thus achieve the bliss of awareness and imagination. Your hindrances lie elsewhere

I'm not on any depressives, I avoid alcohol and only use the amphetamine I am prescribed. My prescription made me stop using all types of illegal drugs, but I made me stop using nicotine, and heavily reduced my alcohol consumption.

I am not encouraging drug use but saying drugs are for zombies and make people retarded is in itself retarded.

Depressives in correct doses can make people more productive, but that is individual.

By the way mushrooms are not depressive, they are CNS stimulants. Because of the sensory overload they often make people fairly stationary but it's pretty much the opposite of depressives such as alcohol and Xanax.

I've never seen that happen. I had a friend who had a psychotic episode because of speed and lack of sleep, but he returned to his normal self after a while. Weed and psychedelics don't permanently fry your brain, despite what DARE and 4chan may lead you to believe. The brain is pretty resilient.

Productivity is not what we’re discussing because yes, if someone is in terrible distress, numbing them would allow them to be more active, however, and I mainly speak about weed, it does impair you and can and does have long term effects. I’ve had friends and acquaintances who, after getting into drugs (mainly weed) you could hardly hold a conversation with because their attention and short term memory was so shot. People I’ve known who did mushrooms always seemed a little more brain dead after doing them even months later. Drugs really do turn you into a zombie if abused

See above. The true retard drug is definitely nitrous oxide. I can see the appeal, when I tried it at a party I’d never been so relaxed, but it’s not worth it: It’s legit lobotomised a few of my friends and my brother to some extent.

You are making the assumption that it's the drug itself that makes you dumb and not your attitude towards it, which is a pretty common thought. The difference lies on your purpose in doing them. If you seek pleasure, dopamine release, and more importantly, a escae from reality, then obviously that reality will be of no concern to you and that's why "druggies" seem so dettached and dumb. However, if you do drugs simply for the change of perspective that it provides you, which leads to a more holistic and conscious view of the world, then you'll find great benefit in doing them. That's why some people are so adamant about, especially on its therapeutic use; it shouldn't numb you but open your mind.

I do smoke weed every day and i've been doing it for about 5 years. That has not stopped me from learning 6 languages all by myself, or reading 3-4 books a week, for example.

I would say that it's more believable than most IQ tests, since it only tests your spatial intelligence. You shouldn't put a lot of stock into IQ though.

Seems legit to me.
I've met 3 people with a 150 IQ.
1 was working with me in a supermarket, he was there 6 years. His brain gave him an ADHD type of personality and he couldn't stick things, including education somehow, which is something he effortlessly processes. He just gets bored and can't get to the end. He was genuinely the smartest of the 3, and was actually a total normie. Very fast and multifaceted intelligence.
2 was the biggest fuck up I've possibly ever met. He had the mind of an 8 year old and was actually incredibly underwhelming in intelligence, but thought he was the greatest intellect to ever live. Compulsive liar, tragic but still a narcissist with some kind of chosen one delusion, couldn't debate at all, said he had OCD but lived like a tramp. I worked with him in a menial job and he was the most useless person I've ever worked with, thought he was an untapped CEO though. He was like a fedora meme. I once heard him say 'the sun doesn't heat the earth' unironically and then try to just gloss over it.
3 was a school friend, he got a PHD in physics and is a functional person. He didn't want to get a physics job after his PhD and just did it out of meh momentum, but he got a good job elsewhere. He thought he was smarter than he was, and struck me as whiny and immature often. He was insecure about his intelligence, I definitely made him insecure about it all the time with my 125. He wasn't that philosophically strong when talking about ideas, and wasn't particularly verbally strong, or debate strong.

You're aware that they likely don't have IQ even close to 150 right? Statistically the smartest person you'll ever talk to and make medium connection with in your whole life is below 140IQ. Unless you intentionally search for those high IQ guys (which doesn't look like based on your comment).

150IQ is like 1 in over 4000, Do the math yourself and see how rare it's to get to know 3 of those in totally random places. It's even extremely unlikely you even stood next to 3 guys above 150IQ for more than 3 minutes without even noticing them consciously let alone getting to know them.

Just keep in mind that IQ frauding is probably even worse than dick size e-stating.

I got 136 on the mensa online test. Never took the SAT(I graduated with a 1.7 gpa and went to community college a few years later) but I got a 178 on the LSAT. It was incredibly easy and I was shocked at the amount of people who spend months studying for it. It's just logical puzzles and reading comprehension. I took one practice test in preparation. I now just got accepted into 5 t14 law schools. I grew up with the cliche "smart but lazy" used to describe me. Hated school because I saw zero purpose for it as everything I wanted to learn I can learn on my own. I detested taking orders from teachers I saw as idiots. Used to get penalized for altering assignments to fit into my self study and projects. I remember failing English and then getting sent to an after school make up class. After the first lecture the teacher took me to the side and asked wtf I was doing there.
Once I went back to school I breezed through getting straight As because I actually did the work and needed school as a necessary step to pursue my goals. I also learned social skills so now I can converse with people on all levels of intelligence unlike being the angry little loner I used to be

You mean 1 in 100. Also as a 125 of course I'm more likely to gel with a 150.

Vox day is very smart and successful and I like his videos a lot, but he isn't perfect and displays some issues himself at 150. He once said he could beat up Joe Rogan and he'll brag about himself in a spectrummy way with no awareness.

I think it deserves more study but I also see where its coming from. It seems once your IQ hits around 140 you start to become just as physically maladaptive as someone with an extraordinarily low IQ. Even if you don't have autism, you become autism adjacent, you're more light-sensitive, you have more allergies, etc. From a socialization standpoint, it's impossible.
The other major problem is that people with high IQs generally tend to be worst generalists and excellent specialists, but what they choose to specialize in is completely luck of the draw. If they become a savant in something socially acceptable, then they have a lot higher chance for success than someone who speedruns video games.

That being said I'm not entirely sure it's a direct correlation. HFAs are all over the place on the IQ spectrum and there are plenty of non-maladaptive high IQ people which leads me to believe that high-IQ predicts physical mutations but does not guarantee this. I.E. we can evolve to be smarter without all the nonsense of noises becoming so loud to us we become unable to function but there's a lot of room for error there.

An interesting dimension to all of this is the IQ vs testosterone graph.
Very low and very high IQs have very low testosterone levels. The cut off for high testosterone seems to be 130 IQ.
In terms of testosterone a person can have like 3 or 4 times more than someone else, the difference is more drastic than IQ.
Those high Ts are clustered around 100 IQ, with high T getting less likely toward 130 but still possible. Then there seems to be a guillotine at 130 IQ.

I find that especially interesting because the missing mental quality I notice in the very high IQ bands is a type of mental 'power' or 'strength' , as if the grip they have on reality isn't as strong as it could be in some way. The immaturity is one facet of this, but I mainly notice it in straightforward debate - they are easily defeated in debate and sometimes make bizarre claims. They try to escape from a corner rather than actually think their way out, by lying, pretending they were joking, pretending they can't understand you, pretending you aren't making sense, or even physically running away from the situation to avoid dealing with being wrong, panic for no reason. Its like they've invested so much in being smart they can't handle being out thought because it's extra threatening.

Vox mentions that people in the 120 to 130 range are either fine, or the actual worst. I think that high T midwits are part of this problem, there's a stubborn normie grade arrogant T quality to go along with being a midwit know it all.
But also there is a problem with 120 - 130 being able to regularly out think them. They don't see how it's possible, but it is, and it happens all the time. They find it especially problematic if a good looking T guy does it calmly and reasonably. The T can also grant maturity and mental stability in some cases.

IQ can vary half a dozen points from childhood to adulthood even if measured accurately. There's a margin of error, especially with verbal IQ, and since IQ is always relative to peers, personal decisions regarding the life you live and the use of your intellect can slow or accelerate the acquisition of crystalline knowledge. Logical/Spatial components of IQ are mostly invariate, but verbal can change.

It's fantastic.
You get the cursed blessing of bipolar and a lifetime of differentiating metaphysical reality from physical reality. Hey meet this new person and immediately dissect their ontology; but don't manipulate them because ethically that's evil. You become the most empathetic person in the world, but want to end you encounters ASAP since you feel like you've now seen them someone naked. People want to hang out with you but you become reclusive as you feel ashamed that of your potential to manipulate them and hope not to taint the pristine connections you have with them.

Oh and having to train yourself to cognizantly slow down because you're told you're going "too fast". Have to phrase conversations in linear steps else it will construe your thought as incoherent and non-sequitur. Eventually you utilize heuristics to assist in conveying these "leaps of logic" to save time; I'd classify this under conversational wisdom.

Not to mention having to play videos at 3.5x speed because anything slower becomes mindnumbingly dull and puts you to sleep. An alternative is to provide motor/visual stimulus like playing a low-wattage game.

Anywho, the whole experience is an lifelong exercise of learning to dumb yourself down; to be "normal". It's not a bad thing though; the ability to have control over oneself is divine.

>why would they matter compared to scores from actual IQ tests
They don’t “matter”, I just want to ground my conception of IQ in concrete examples. (assuming no one would lie about their test scores online lol.) Like, in high school, you could generally tell who was smart and who wasn’t, based on different things like how fast they absorbed things in class, how they answered questions, grades (unless they didn’t try), how they talked, etc.
And when we all took the SAT, people’s SAT scores basically corresponded to how “smart” I had thought they were before. So I recognize the SAT as an intelligence test. But no one I know has ever taken an IQ test, or told me the score if they did, so I don’t have any intuitive sense of IQ’s validity.
>being smart is literally defined as having a high IQ.
Only in scientific papers, as a convention. The normal person’s concept of “smart” is ignorant and/or indifferent to IQ scores and the g-factor. But it’s not indifferent to familiar intuitive things like what I mentioned above.

Nice. I’m an insecure autist, so I took a couple practice LSATs out of curiosity last summer, even though I’m not going to law school. I got around 170 on both with almost all my lost points coming from running out of time on logic games. You’re right, it’s very simple, but you have to be fast. Apparently there are tricks for the logic games, but even then there’s a lot of dry bullshit to skim through in the other sections. I feel bad for aspiring law students that just never read habitually enough to build up that muscle or whatever. But yeah, no idea how people miss the questions that they do have time for lol.

Read these instead:

"The Endogenous personality – therefore – does not (as most men) seek primarily for social, sexual or economic success; instead the Endogenous personality wants to live by his inner imperatives.
The way it is supposed-to-work, the ‘deal’, the ‘social contract’; is that the Endogenous personality, by his non-social orientation, is working for the benefit of society as a whole; at the cost of his not competing in the usual status competitions within that society. His ‘reward’ is simply to be allowed, or – better – actively enabled, to have the minimal necessary sustenance, psychological support (principally being ‘left alone’ and not harassed or molested; but ideally sustained by his family, spouse, patron or the like) to be somehow provided-with the time and space and wherewithal to do his work and communicate the outcome. For the Endogenous personality, this is its own reward.
In return, the Endogenous personality should not expect (although he might, by chance, get) social esteem, wealth, or sexual success. Often, he may need to be highly solitary, secluded, ascetic, perhaps celibate. He should not seek, and should try not to accept, leadership positions, or administrative responsibilities."

Sorry to bump this thread but I need help. Not to detract from the ~muh high IQ~ thread but I actually genuinely need help, and /lit/ is... My only place left to turn. I'm a "treatment-resistant" schizophrenic with a 143 IQ, as tested by a psychologist at my first followup appointment after my psychotic break that landed me in the mental hospital. I have been cycling in and out of hospitals (probably 20 times), tried countless meds, and got electroshock 16 times.

I have been receiving Lacanian psychoanalysis (because fuck Jungians) and found it illuminating, and life-changing, although I went downhill at first. I am so deeply drawn to the Lacanian school because of my complex and confusing relationship with language itself, the mark of our humanity—I am a poet with a book coming out, but more importantly, I view madness as a disorder of language, which is to say, a disorder of meaning. In analysis I realized my """ mental illness """ is really just what happens when you put someone through the beating, rape, and abuse that I endured as a child. I live with my mom now (haha). I can hold down a full time job. But I want to go to school—badly. However my sanity is completely contingent upon the functioning of my family—which is better, but still precarious.

"Treatment" has never helped me because Foucault (who I fucked in a past life) was right.

But do I bite the bullet, get on disability temporarily, and get into a housing program for the "mentally ill" to just work on building my independence and accomplish my educational goals? ... Or do I elope with my love interest (who I've known for 12 years, but our romantic dynamic has only been in place since around a year ago).

Anyway, I've read a lot of fucken shit, but what ELSE can you recommend I read, in order to heal from severe trauma-induced madness? How the fuck do I begin to integrate back into society?

Thanks..

It's not all your mental illness, you are very much alone in a sea of horrifying children. Disregarding the inevitable seethers in the replies, you genuinely need to find people who are your intellectual peers because the alternative is a life that resembles hell

Not that anon but I doubt you are autistic. I also believe you are around 18 or 19. You must have anxiety and your social IQ must be higher than mine which is a certifiable 80. The way you develop social skills is exactly how you just did it. You just need to stop giving a fuck and curse.

I know what you mean. I suppose this route is who I've decided I want to be. I'm fortunate that fate has given me friends that are close enough to my intelligence range to understand me, and I try to use my manipulations to break them out of the traps society has laid for them. I think you took the term manipulation to mean enslaving them. Rather, I manipulate them to free them from the slavers (drugs, television, media, etc.).

I'm at the point where I understand it intuitively mostly, and have broken down the parts that didn't feel natural so that I understand them, but refuse to go along with it super hard as well.

Kinda sucks and I'd like to be able to because it'd make my life a lot easier, but there's something very humiliating about basically acting out a role/persona in social settings. I view most people as at the very least fake, and my immediate family are all fake pieces of shit so I think realizing that repulsed me. I've only met a few people, and been friends with like 1-2 that I felt were absolutely not bots and were real, authentic people.

Why do midwits always get so triggered at the notion social life caters to them? That being high IQ is fucking lonely? It's the natural consequence of the bell curve distribution. Even academic success is only loosely related to IQ.

I'm pretty fucking retarded(got tested around 109-115), but I've got a pretty specialized set of interests(including reading philosphy and learning dead langauges) and thus know a shit ton of obscure facts and I often have good ideas, so people(even the smarter ones) think I'm highly intelligent; every time I try to tell them that they've got it all wrong and I'm pretty retarded, they just think I'm being humble, which is pretty hilarious desu(but a bit frustrating as well).

I took this classical IQ test two years ago at age 21. I answered every question correctly within the one hour time limit and received a score of 150. Obviously there is little reason to give a concrete score in this case and I wish that they had provided a range, but I never bothered trying to figure out what that range might look like.

I just wrote a few paragraphs of a blog post before I realized no one gives a shit.

To keep it short, I suspect I have a schizoid personality and have gradually shut more and more people out of my life. I have a variety of creative endeavors that keep me going. I dropped out of college within 6 weeks of starting and now work a dead end job. Despite all this, I remain hopeful that I may produce something worthwhile to the world, be it music, comedy, poetry, or some other pipe-dream.

You have to be joking. Let me repeat: ONLINE IQ TESTS ARE LITERAL BULLSHIT & NOT A VALID PSYCHOMETRIC INSTRUMENT. Also, if you haven't produced anything worthwhile by now, you probably never will. Intelligence without both LABOR and openness to experience, is utterly worthless.

I would argue that it's even more legit than some official IQ tests that base themselves on hard time limit. On the JCTI you've problems that you won't be able to solve without time limit (Before knowing if your answer was wrong or correct), I think that truly give it an edge in estimating your cognitive limits.

But keep in mind that the archived version posted in this thread is said to be flawed, some report even 10 points deflection (One guy on reddit copied the answers from an old youtube video that used the original JCTI to this version and got 10 points less in the current one).

Make no mistake, I don't give much credence to these tests, online or otherwise. Your dismissiveness towards people over the age of 23 who have not made a significant contribution in their field is wildly out of touch, especially with regard to those on an auto-didactic path. I agree with your final point, but overall you come off like a jaded ass making assumptions on the character of strangers on the basis that they take these scores seriously.

Everyone one of us is some sort of musician, film buff, artists of another sort, or a hobbyist on the side. All of us have active social lives. The only ones of us that don't have wives and children are the PhD's who've been in academia since their teens and just never cared.
The only reason we come off as "autistic" is because the rest of the world is trying to play our game but doesn't know the rules and no one likes to find out they've been playing Monopoly wrong their entire lives.

Imagine an entire lifetime spent waiting for other people to catch up to you.

That's my life. That's every day. That's me at work, that's me at home, that's me when I'm out with friends. Every social interaction I have feels about the same as trying to winch a car through mud.

I know that I don't know everything and I don't pretend to, and I enjoy talking to experts to learn more about things I don't know. But I don't encounter many actual subject matter experts in the course of my day to day life.

It's true that there's something to learn from everyone and maybe if I could see that more often I'd be a happier person, but time after time I have to sit through meandering conversations about nothing.

My coworkers are retarded and everything I say makes them think I’m “struggling” or that I’m an asshole. I have one coworker who if I don’t say her name before I start talking she doesn’t realize I’m talking to her, she talks constantly to me about stupid bitch shit to where I get distracted and she get offended when I put 0 effort in a response because I’m busy, but every time I talk to her she thinks I’m saying something different and gets offended. Every question I ask anybody I get a response to a different question I already know the answer to. Like how do you even respond to this stuff without losing your dignity and being a welp. I just want to keep quiet I don’t even want to have to be an asshole but you won’t leave me alone.

When I was six years old, I was taken out of class with another student for something like three sessions over a week with someone from outside the school. We played games like fitting geometric shapes inside the borders drawn on a piece of paper. Soon after we were both asked if we wanted to skip a grade. What does it mean? Was it an IQ test?
