of course I'm a genius

this super duper quiz on the internet told me so

[Anonymous No.4337976]

i've taken the iqtest.dk test 3 or 4 times, roughly averaging 119.

i'll take it.

it should be noted that aforementioned test is based off of the "raven's advanced progress matrices" test, and it doesn't measure verbal acuity. verbally i'm retarded so i'd estimate my IQ to be around 115 or even lower. oh well.

>>4337951
agreed. IQ has absolutely no correlation with the ambiguous concept of "intelligence". therefore it has no predictive value.

[Anonymous No.4337983]

You can look in the archives for the last time we did this. I remember getting the highest or second highest and feeling real proud of myself before I remembered that /lit/ was filled with a lot of tryhard pseudointellectuals and the only ones who would even care about this are the ones autistic enough to sit through this test just to show off their epeen

Ew, Mensa members. What a shitty group.

not that a person with a high IQ saying something stupid is proof of anything, but that guy has to be trolling.

They don't need to raise their self esteem by feeling more superior than 98% of the population.

it's an easy way to do it. why shouldn't they?

I don't know... the whole Mensa thing just doesn't vibe with me. As well as obsession over IQ.

Sadly, what he said can be argued to be true, considering that Naruto has a lot of subplots and small stories hanging around the main plot.

But that doesn't really matter because nurutu is still a badly written clusterfuck.

i think people like feeling superior to MENSA members, similar to how MENSA members like feeling superior to people with IQ's below 130.
for the former people, it's a "i'm so smart that i recognize IQ doesn't matter" sort of thing.


and i feel superior to those people for pointing out that there's nothing wrong with feeling pride in something like IQ. the cycle continues.

[Anonymous No.4338033]

>>4338029
I see.

[Anonymous No.4338065]

why is it in Norwegain? I can barely figure out what's going on.

I agree with this. People really just deceive themselves into believing that IQ has zero correlation with intelligence probably do so if they believe their IQ to be low, conversely people with a high score might attribute more value to it than it really has because there are far more facets to intelligence than your ability to distinguish certain patterns, solve spatial reasoning puzzles, and filling in semi-blank words, which is essentially what most IQ tests are.

[Anonymous No.4338104]

i'm too insecure to take an IQ test. i'm afraid it will reveal what, deep down, i've always known: i'm not as intelligent as i like to think i am

[Anonymous No.4338115]

I usually get around 135-140 on these things but I feel pretty dumb compared to other people. I can't write for shit, I have to read things twice to really understand them and I have a test in a couple hours which I'm almost definitely going to flunk. I can think of about a billion skills that would be more useful than being able to figure out what pattern is being followed by grayscale geometric shapes.

Maybe take up higher level physics. Your intelligence is in lots of demand and you could make a good living doing what you're skilled at.

[Anonymous No.4338516]

Can someone explain the last one to me, please?

Except your professors cannot teach for shit, and most of the students just look up the homework assignment solutions online.

Got 110. I used to get 124 on a test when I was younger. Meh, I just don't give a shit while taking the test.

[Anonymous No.4338579]

gave up about 1/3 the way thru. Got a 106 by clicking random.

I'm okay with that.

I'm pretty surprised, considering I haven't slept for two days. Maybe I should join the club, so the next time I'm lying piss-drunk in a gutter I could prove my intelligence with the membership card.

[Anonymous No.4338646]

What if the test is a little bit easy/generous just to get more Norwegians to apply for Mensa?

I'm only asking because my score is too shitty to post alongside all you geniuses

[Anonymous No.4338682]

>>4338646
I think they use the same online test worldwide. And it's only kind of a guideline to see whether you even should consider applying to the real Mensa IQ test.

I don't believe that I've ever bothered with an IQ test before. I got 125.

[Anonymous No.4338874]

123 without finishing last 4
High QI shows how well you can observe and solve solutions, which can come into play with all aspects of problems. But you might consider personal ignorance, lack of knowledge, personal preception of value, memory and many more. That leaves intelligence correlation to QI questionable to some extent.

[Anonymous No.4339169]

Anyone who's ever actually been to a Mensa meeting knows Mensans are the most insufferable fucking pricks in existence. Which is to be expected of people who need a special club specifically to validate their intelligence, I guess.
