Unironically this. I'm rather successful and was generally seen as a golden student when I was younger, but I've been chronically depressed for decades because of how retarded everyone around me is. I wonder how these absolute fucking morons even tie their shoes, let alone function as their degeneracy slowly erodes any possibility for true cultural or societal progress. The stark realization that the best of humanity will always be outnumbered and overpowered by the worst is a painful one.

My solution was basically that, as soon as weed became legal, I started smoking and drinking myself into a fucking retard. My memory is worse and I don't work nearly as efficiently as I used to and it's fucking great. Nobody can even tell, because even at my worst I'm still an above-average worker. I'm just floating on a dense cloud of ignorance and IDGAF on a daily basis and it's wonderful. Happiest I've ever been.

this annoys me so much. The claim that there is a test for IQ is doubtful. This is one of the issues that Wikipedia gets wrong. Any test at all that claims to generate scores according to a normal distribution with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 is “an IQ test.“ Go look it up.
The historical record is a palling. There was a desire to kill black Americans, and the rule that someone dreamed up was to assess “unintelligence“ and euthanize the unintelligent. In fact, What we should be measuring is a willingness to measure intelligence. The will to measure intelligence is identical with the will to commit murder. Those who claim to measure intelligence are enacting their murderous fantasies.

[Anonymous No.18103125]

>>18102381
what is relevant here is the fact that OP is unwilling to give details as to the identity of the “IQ test“ taken and is unwilling to reveal the identity of who created this test and the process that was used to create this test. Any claims as to having a professional assess IQ or to have an IQ tested With any kind of authority must be backed up with information as to the lineage that produced the IQ test in question. Anything else is getting taken in by the garbage claims of “intelligence testers.” These morons are selling snake oil.

We do what we do bc we are wired on all levels to avoid the things that cause us pain, whether this be physical, psychological or existential. Your digits are just a result of your computing speed and processes. Measuring your worth or intelligence by them doesn't make you much more than a machine, which is or is not a bad thing depending on your completely arbitrary constitution.

The dunning kruger effect means that the more you deviate from average the less accurate are your self perceptions. Because self perception and ability are imperfectly related and both regress towards a mean. Read the original study and stop parroting memes

I was tested with the full diagnostic array of educational development tests in college because I was refered by disability resource center. They literally thought I was retarded. After 3 days of test, the psychologist said I had an overall IQ of 131. Some components like visual/spacial pattern recognition were much higher, and other components like verbal/linguistics were much lower. For example hearing a short story and then recognizing and telling the parts of the story back I scored very bellow average sub 90. She ultimately diagnosed me with a very substandard short term memory most likely due to unknown injury.

So depending on the mental task I am either an 80 IQ retard, or a 160+ visual genius. She gave me paperwork that ensured I never failed another course in college.

Yeah I don't think modern IQ tests are even given in number scores. I got arrested when I was a teenager, and they had an educational psychologist have me do a bunch of tests. The results were in percentiles, not just one number. And it wasn't aggregated. Like I got one score for working memory, one score for coding, one score for spatial recognition, etc

Society tells them high iq in itself is an achievement. Even if you do nothing with it. Mensa is for nerds and redditors. Iq tests measure what? Pattern recognition, Mathematical skills, Problem solving skills and memory but cant measure things like creativity or thinking outside the norm as well as other things that are incapable of being measured by a test. /lit/ will ignore this because they like feeling smart. They define themselves by a number. Limiting what they and others are capable of because of said number. Iq test were made to see if someone was retarded or not.
