When I was told I have an IQ of 160 but I am neet.

You can have genuine interactions with normies and gifted people though because you’re within 30 points of both. I can only interact properly with people like you and geniuses, which is probably why the valedictorian was one of my best friends in high school. Normies think I’m fucking crazy. Whether or not it’s a requirement for success, IQ makes a difference because it decides how you interact with other people.

>>10489295
Well yes, of course high intelligence is a predictor for success. I just meant to point out that good work ethic is much more important.

Real red pill incoming, by can't-build-muscle anon™.

Effort is pretty much useless and almost always eclipsed by the genetics component in nearly every department in life.

For example I've been lifting diligently for years on a solid diet and couldn't induce hypertrophy at all to save my life, and according to recent research I found out that 25% of the population can't build muscle at all.

Likewise I was always told as a kid that work was important. Little did I know that (((they))) did it only to better enslave me. Indeed, recent research suggests that, by far, the most powerful predictor of life success isn't hard work or conscientiousness, but IQ. (Also, on a side note, conscientiousness is also heavily dependent on genetics, and so is any other trait).

In short, humans have as much free will as a thrown rock following classical mechanic laws.
It's all a stupid meme perpetrated to get much more out of you than (((they))) deserve. Don't get caught up in silly propaganda playing on people's over-inflated egos who think whatever they do will end up amounting to something of value.

I got an 82 on the schools IQ test in 6th grade. I worked my ass of in school and used to get a head start in classes by looking up the syllabus and going thru stuff during the summers and winter breaks. I would still barely pass and was a C student. I'm just dull and I struggle with a lot of everyday life things. I get lost easily in both senses of the world and I once missed my bus and tried to walk back home which was about 15min away. I got confused and ended up out till past midnight when my mom called the cops for them to find me and take me back home. I'm "nerdy" and i like science and thought I would become a chemist someday and even managed to finish a BA in 8 years but boy oh boy is life a struggle. I've been fired from every job unless its service/menial industry. I cant even do telemarketing cause it was too confusing for me to do it the tasks quickly.

nice LARPing faggot

>>10489349
I wish it was a LARP

>>10489334
on the same subject just look for another thread talking about your exact case with some indian students in the picture, did you make that thread?

>>10489334
It's physically impossible that you could type that post with an 82 IQ.

>>10489431
No

>>10489321
fuck off back 2 reddit

>>10489433
The average IQ of blacks in america is 85 and i'm not mixed but my mom wanted us to grow up around whites. I lurk 4chan alot but I usually never post

>>10489152
And you don't think the smart people will easily catch up once they get tired of underpreforming lazily?

>>10489439
Reddit is the place where everybody pretends anybody can build muscle

>>10489152
You do realize that an IQ of 120 is in the 90th percentile for the population and above the 50th percentile for college graduates? Is your post just a humble brag, because a 4.0 GPA is not unreasonable for someone with an IQ of 120 unless you're a physics or math major.

Your mistake op is in thinking that ones iq is static when it has been proven that you can actually raise your iq level through hard work and having the mindset that improvement and growth is possible, if you had taken an iq test before you started working hard and then taken one a few years after you worked hard in school I bet your iq would be higher, where as the people who initially had high iq’s then stagnated probably had a decline

>>10489460
Referring to people with good but below exceptional IQ as brainlets is a /sci/ meme.

>>10489445
IF they get tired, yes. Being smart and hard working is the optimal case of course. But regardless, hard work still gets you further than smarts if you directly compare both traits.

>>10489444
So because the average IQ of blacks is 85 and you're black it means you must be borderline intellectually disabled? You are likely 1 standard deviation or higher above the black mean. People with IQ's below 83 barely know how to tie their own shoes let alone use a computer/shitpost on a Japanese anime forum.

>>10489474
Dude in sicth grade I got an 82 I dont know if its right but learning is vary hard for me. I actually think its a lot higher now but it was a stuggle to get to this. 80 IQ doesnt make you disabled and anyone can use a computers now. There are plenty of counties with the average being lower than 70 and they're not retarded just slower.

>anon™
the fuck?
May as well be a tripfag

>>10489486
I knew the tm thing was going to trigger people here lmao

>>10489466
So, as a genuine question, without memeing, what would be a good IQ? If it's a meme that it's 130+, then what is it?

>>10489575
145

>>10489577
Fuck you

>>10489578
I was kinda serious. People at 145 get the best jobs, then there's a power gap between 145 and 130s, basically most 130s end up in useless jobs like retail just like the 90s. Only the 145s get good jobs. Below 145 all iqs are equal.

When I bombed a physics test at college

>>10489582
Proof? My personal experience goes against this, as extremely smart people cannot even be understood by regular smarties. I'm not talking about an inability to explain things, but about the ability to think faster and in more dimensions.

Aren't you already enslaved by having this kind of worldview that destroys your attitude?

>>10489650
I am enslaved against my will by my genetics. That's not a reason to make it worse and let kikes walk all over me (Anyway it's not like I decide which worldview I endorse. I only have the illusion of being free but I really have no control over anything, political views included). I have literally zero wiggle room to build myself independently of the cold, unforgiving laws of the cosmos. And this is also true for pretty much anyone. Heck it has decided that I couldn't build muscle so here I am not experience hypertrophy ever and I can't do shit about it. Attitude is irrelevant and genetically determined too

>>10489650
Shilling free will is bad for the same reason telling a fat man he can win an Olympic sprint is bad. It’s the special snowflake you can do anything you want attitude. It also contradicts with the Bible and the free will old Christians spoke of was something completely different. They didn’t believe your free will could override God’s will and break logical determinism. 25% of the population can’t build muscle, landwhales can’t win Olympic sprints, and telling people they’re magical and can break reality with their will is dumb. Free will is a great way to guilt trip people though and convince them everything is their fault, you sadistic bastards.

i don't know what the fuck you are talking about, but an IQ of 100 is average. 115 to 130 is 14%of the population. only 2.1% has a higher IQ than 130

>>10489321
this is advanced shitposting

>>10489667
Glad people like you exist and think this way. Cuts down on competition

>>10489321
I'm laughing at your future self that gets cucked by OP bc you refuse to work hard out of a victimhood mentality.
>Effort is pretty much useless
How do you like being a NEET? Living in your own excrement
>Humans have as much free will as a thrown rock
Even if the universe is deterministic, the only way to live practically and have any chance at achieving anything is by conducting yourself under the belief you have free will. No truly successful person will act as if they have no free will.

>have any chance at achieving anything is by conducting yourself under the belief you have free will
This is what matters. It feels very much like people who are infatuated with the "we don't have free will" idea are looking for excuses to not give their effort. It's a Pascals wager sort of situation, where if you assume you have the power of your life you might actually make something. If you don't then that's sealed.

>>10489152
According to the psychologist I was made to see as a child, I have (had?) an IQ in the 99.9th percentile. Thanks to regularly cutting class since the age of 10 and never getting started doing homework, today I struggle with rudimentary mathematics, have dropped out of university 3 times and live off autismbux.

I feel this in my soul

above the rim meta-meta shitposting
i like it

>>10489596

This was my experience as well. I thought I was really hot shit coming out of high school, and then I went to University of Alabama, which is pretty garbage on academics, because they give OOS students a ton of money and holy shit some of my classmates were so much smarter than me. They went on to shit like graduate programs at Cambridge, Harvard, or jobs at NASA/Microsoft. It really put things into perspective for me.

What I will ALSO say is that each one of those people that achieved a lot worked incredibly hard at what they did. It's nearly impossible to tell how of the gap between us was worth ethic and how much was innate intelligence, but was definitely a lesson learned on where I stood relative to other people.

>>10489321
it's true desu, a lot of my success in life had little to do with the actual work i put in

Any time I worked hard and became the "best" at something, I knew it was only because someone more talented wasn't around or didn't put in the work. Which could easily happen because there are tons of people in the general population who are more talented than me. My IQ is mediocre, high end of average at best

>>10491186
I feel you. Don't worry, we are all gonna make it.

If two people put an equal amount of effort into something the one gifted with higher IQ will always get ahead. Same principle applies everywhere, not just science obviously.

>>10489577
This but unironically

>>10490962
Legit, how retarded do you have to be to think you can't build muscle. The animals who couldn't build muscle were weeded out through millions of years of natural selection

>>1048965

*snap*

>>10489152
The title is pretty ironic

>>10489152
>When did you realize that putting in effort > high intelligence.
Too late :(

>>10489334
>I got confused and ended up out till past midnight when my mom called the cops for them to find me and take me back home.
What happened after you got home? How did you explain what happened?

>>10489152
putting in effort = high intelligence.
Lazy fucks are retarded shits. The effect is not immediate, which is why there are so many "I'm intelligent but lazy" people out there.
