Chad Idiot v Virgin Genius

Not exactly sure. Most IQ tests are dumbed down and stupid. "Here, solve muh pattern." This shit is too easy. In addition, IQ tests do not measure all aspects of intelligence. There is more to intelligence than being able to solve patterns and equations. All of that is the easy shit. That's what gets me about some of today's intellectuals. They exaggerate their abilities and claim "I'm right cause muh Pee Aich Dee." Well, I'm afraid that you can have a low IQ and still have a PhD, so that does not really prove anything.

>>10848850
Because higher average IQ = more science

Because all the evidence points to certain racial components of intelligence and we are on the verge of proving it via genetics so the rebbit brigade is extremely butthurt because this contradicts their totally retarded worldview that everyone is equal and that selective processes and evolution stops at the neck

I don't have the highest IQ and I work here (google it). Just goes to show IQ isn't everything.

Modern leftish philosophers tend to dismiss reason, science, objective reality and to insist that everything is culturally relative. It is true that one can ask serious questions about the foundations of scientific knowledge and about how, if at all, the concept of objective reality can be defined. But it is obvious that modern leftish philosophers are not simply cool-headed logicians systematically analyzing the foundations of knowledge. They are deeply involved emotionally in their attack on truth and reality. They attack these concepts because of their own psychological needs. For one thing, their attack is an outlet for hostility, and, to the extent that it is successful, it satisfies the drive for power. More importantly, the leftist hates science and rationality because they classify certain beliefs as true (i.e., successful, superior) and other beliefs as false (i.e., failed, inferior). The leftist’s feelings of inferiority run so deep that he cannot tolerate any classification of some things as successful or superior and other things as failed or inferior. This also underlies the rejection by many leftists of the concept of mental illness and of the utility of IQ tests. Leftists are antagonistic to genetic explanations of human abilities or behavior because such explanations tend to make some persons appear superior or inferior to others. Leftists prefer to give society the credit or blame for an individual’s ability or lack of it. Thus if a person is “inferior” it is not his fault, but society’s, because he has not been brought up properly.

as long as you are thinking in left and right you are not progressing. too bad you are still playing that game.

How did you manage to land a job in XTX while not having a 140+ IQ?

It is among the strongest correlates in psychology, if not the strongest.

looks like a map of wealthy countries, isreal has an average IQ of 95, US is closer to 98, china has more genius level people living in china but they're fleeing to U.S as they can

>>10849201
isreal has a lot of experience with simply nicking other peoples' inventions

I thought these were literally careers for turbonormalfags since basically all you do is making socialization networks and going on dinners with key people?

It's weird how much iq denial happens on /sci/ since it's a board where poster iq is most obvious.

>>10848850
Because IQ predicts various aspects of your future life.

Ok, was someone that worked with psychometric, testing and all that jazz, I can tell that IQ still an useful way to mesure someone cognitive ability, of course we can have some deviation from the norm, but on overall IQ testing is pretty solid bases and statistical power and still a good way to screen someone to know if there are pretty smart or dumb, or "gifted" of "intelectual impaired" as they say. But the problem is that some... data about some... population and groups show over and over again gaps between them, and well, if go talking about with professional in the area we all know and try ways to close the gap, and still nothing, and of course this points to... biological bases of that difference, this topics is so heated and full of politics and shit like that is like playing with fire, but the overwhelming evidence point to the IQ difference been in biological in origins.

TL;DR: IQ testing still a good way to measure someones mental capacity , no matter what "expert" on /sci/ here or on the mainstream "expert"' says about the "useless" of the test, and problalby they are pushing an agenda, a political one, so beware.

Why?

Neuroscience is super soft, like a mix between intro biology and intro psyche. Also it's about 3/4 female looking for an easy undergrad to pump up their gpa to apply to med school.

>>10849280
political science and international relations is full of virgin marxists who hate the world

>>10850887
neuro is a lot more rigorous than gen bio or psychology, its just much easier than some of the other life sciences like molbio, genetics, biochem and comp/quant bio subjects or theoretical biology

IQ is a strong indicator of what skills you will have

Because polfags aren't intelligent enough to know that IQ is not intelligence.

Seeing the stark contrast between North and South Korea, I'd say societal factors heavily outweigh average IQ.

Also super important caveat that changes the entire way you look at this chart: Wellesley College is an all-girls school. Comp sci would never be so low normally.

neuro papers are some of the least producible of all the sciences, it's fake as shit.
