they try and make it hard so yeah, no shit! it is HARD.

It only proves your smart with hard things.

Grats your head is like a solid, say hello to the rest of the periodic table for me.

>>11054728
I dont really have an extremly high IQ maybe around 120-140, but the thing is, you can have an IQ of 180 you still not gonna rule the world or something like that.

If I had to make a prediction what the best prediction method of success is then I would tip on something like the right amount of ambition + psychopath tendencies.

The President of the USA for example is not the smartest person, but the one who could play the game of politics/life the best. A high IQ might help you be a productiv employee, but it wont put you at the top of the company.

IQ also doesnt meassure the Social abilitys of a person.

No. It's a scam unless you had a set path amd specific specialized goal like doctor, engineer, etc
Somewhat. I have been living moderately and below my means for years while self improving and developing tech that will without a doubt sell for millions. Im tall, packing and have women as playthings but addicted to my goals and establishing a level of power not far off.
Moderately rich and and at the start of selling a product for millions thereafter. That is not the main goal but one of several I have. My main focus is exposing American shadow government operations and the spy tech used on citizens without their knowledge. Currently I am already in push against civilian level psyops by rogue groups attempting to blockade progress. I will say to all, keep voting republican because democratic parties are deeply aligned with deep state, communist sympathizing elements. It's not difficult to miss when seeing so much lunatic anti constitutional outlooks they want to bring down on the people.

Also ONLINE IQ TESTS DONT COUNT YOU FRICK

I don't quite know how this shit works. It seems that it doesn't take time in calculation. i tried it for like 30-40 times and it gave me results from 105 to 115. I memorized correct answers of all examples that had any common sense logic behind it, but obviously some answers were just obvious and I got em in seconds in first time. And used those answers to speed mysself up in next iterations to have more time to solve those more "difficult". However, I may be one of the best mathematicians on my year in college but I just can't see any logic behind some of the examples that could be called more right or more correct than any other. And the problem is that you can pick any answer and there could be some logic behind it, the only difference is what creator of this shitty test deem correct. But however, I tried many combinations with arbitrary picking some answers and it seems it doesn't affect much the results. However, I shouldn't say that because I iterated nowhere near the exact number of possible combinations of those problematic examples. Anyways, my IQ seems to be average, I'll be software engineer in couple of years, and am quite certain that I'll be successful financially.

reminder:
>online tests probably aren't accurate
>it's artificially inflated if you're studying pure math
>it's artificially inflated if you took another test within the past couple of years

Since it's an IQ thread, does genetics really correlate with IQ? If yes, why is God racist?

>>11056806
>its inflated from education
No it isn’t. There is no strong evidence that education raises performance on iq tests in a causal sense. Rather people who pursue high iq educational paths tend to do better on those tests for obvious reasons. Someone who is a mathematics undergrad will be more inclined to abstract reasoning so they do much better without training on matrix reasoning than a highschool student failing precalculus.
>inflated after a year
No, it isn’t.
>Not accurate
This is true but affects people with high verbal more than any other subtest scores. They are good approximations of what your iq would be having taken a professionally administered test. If you consistently score high online you will score high on a professional test.

>>11056806
>online tests probably aren't accurate
Those mensa online ones are actually harder than the matrix problems you'll see in most "legit" IQ tests.

>>11056818
I'm not a even a full-nurturefag, but taking courses like pointset topology or algebraic topology or studying for IMO/putnam probably do increase your IQ by quite a bit, since some of these problems are literally math/geometry questions.

Analogy: Yes, an IMO medalist probably would have done quite well in the competition without any prep, but people prepare for a reason.

Your true, pure-genetics IQ is probably ±1 SD of what you test as a post-teenager.

>>11056818
>inflated after a year

Lmao fag. I didn't graduate either but have accomplished a lot just using the internet. I cut my leisure and drinking habits to focus on big plans making money. It took several years but have become good at internet marketing and make more than some well paying jobs. Did this while being involved in other problems including police harassment and stalking. I always outsmart them. I did research to learn about a lot on many things and it paid off several ways. In a year or two I'll be a millionare and will have some important work circulated all over the internet and into public I won't get into. It's not necessarily science related but involves serious implications for everyone. I'm not the type to acquiesce control of my life to a dumb faggot world. You can do good for yourself and lead a happy life by learning how to attack for what will let you be content. Better that than being a little blackpill pussy.

According to the test it was 133 the first time I took it a year ago. I then took it 10 or so days later and got 141.

>Where do you see yourself in a year?
If we extrapolate from the first point, my IQ has been increasing by 0.1 points every day for the past year. Therefore my IQ is now at 170.
I have independently, scientifically, empirically reproduced this via a strenuous regime of Rick and Morty while simultaneously verifying the veracity of the fact that I do indeed Love Science(tm).
In the coming years I hope to move beyond my broad-based liberal education of the entire series, and specialize with a PhD in Pickle Rick. Also 300k starting.
Some might say my sights are set too high,
that a Pickle Rick PhD is too rigorous for anyone, period.
Those are the imbeciles to whom all I need do is show my exceptional IQ, which makes me intellectually (and by extension morally and ontologically) superior to all the other races to whom I correctly ascribe negative traits.
If this fails to convince them, or, even worse, induces them to post a disgruntled Pepe with the caption,
>another IQ thread
then I cannot be held responsible.
In short, I love my IQ. It reassures me of the fact that I am better than others. I don't know what I'd do if I realized that it doesn't matter, probably try to do something with my life I guess.

>>11057376
What do you do, anon?

>>11054728
Got several official tests done during my childhood and early adulthood. Always scored between 130 and 145.
I dropped out of college, did jack shit for a few years, and currently I'm attending university again. I'm not successful by any stretch of the term, and I have no idea where I'll be in a year. This is the first time in my life I'm actually attempting to apply myself, I have no idea how to study efficiently, but I'm trying.
All impostor syndrome memes aside, I've always felt dumb when it came to academics, and I lack focus.

I don't browse this board that often, but there are always a bunch of IQ threads and it's always about stupid online tests and matrices.

Explain to me, do people here really believe that anything a free, 10 minutes online test tells you is worth anything about your IQ? I don't believe it.

Don't you guys know that true IQ tests like the WAIS can only be administered by trained specialists like psychologists and neuropsychologists? Those tests take hours to go through and incorporate a lot of tests that need to be done face to face to be meaningful.

Do you guys just do this to feel good about yourselves even though you know very well it means nothing?

Is this all just a meme?

>at iq 120, last year i took the same test and was at 130. what happened?

the most serious test i ever did was an aptness test for high school graduates interested in going to university, which took a timed total of three hours to complete, one hour for each area of visual, logical and linguistic reasoning. scored about in the 95th percentile in each, so i figure i'm at least in the top 5% of university beginners, amounting for an iq of about 130, maybe a bit more.

oh and one is also tested for interests and personality. the results said i should study choreography or archaeology.

>>11058150

130 is 98th percentile anon.

yes, but

assuming iq is a function of the averages of these three percentiles, iq 130 is a pretty conservative guess.

don't twist my words, anon. i could be at iq 125, but i think that's just less likely than iq 130. it probably is iq 130 ± 3 points.

>>11059119
No, unless you take the WAIS-IV or equivalent, they are literally meaningless, particularily those matrices ones.

>>11057397
>>11058358
It's A. There is no pattern. None of the box configurations are repeated. B-F are repeats and A is the only unique configuration of colours.

>>11059195
The answer is actually D. An anon on a previous thread tested it by brute-force.

>>11054728
I am a logistics manager at a construction company.

>>11059243
D is the closest, yes. It works if you go by white+gray=gray. Of course you don't know what white+white is since there is no such pattern, but D is the only one that obeys white+gray=gray. It is sketchy though.

Any biologists here? What the fuck is this shit that grew near my balcony? It appeared in a spawn of 2 days and I clean the entire area with bleach twice a week.

I made a new scientific discovery! I have a brain disease for 5 years and I have depression and apathy from the dementia.

I can barely eat, I can barely stand, or move, I was reading a book this morning got 10 pages of existential depression it was Camus. I can barely stay alive because almost every waking moment is unbearable suffering, depression and meaninglessness.

there is a biological foundation to my depression that is found in patients with neurodegenerative disorders.

I hate to say this but the disease is turning me into a retarded "coom(cum) brain" I have tried taking amphetamines that my psychiatrist prescribed for the apathy as well as the antidepressant bupropion, but the only effective treatment is just being a coom brain and I think that medical insurance needs to cover hookers as an evidence based treatment for young men with terminal neurological illness.

>hurr durr, education has nothing to do with it!
Really? Why is it then that all patterns on the raven matrices are mathematical patterns? Either rotation, translation, reflection, shifting, sequence, counting, adding/subtracting, logical operators and so on. Post any IQ test and the pattern will, in 99% of the cases, be one or more of the above. For the more "accurate" tests out there, which have multiple verbal and non-verbal parts, the test is so obviously related to education that there is no denying it. Vocabulary definition, arithmetic, sequences, algebra, logic and so on are all learned in school and once you know them it's really easy to detect them, especially after doing it over and over again. It's kind of like how a mechanic after years of experience can figure out a problem in a car by the sound the engine makes. He knows all the "patterns" and can easily see them due to experience.
