IQ only demonstrates how well you are able to take IQ tests, which in of itself only demonstrates your ability to recognize patterns. IQ in no way denotes intelligence, ability to succeed or happiness.

I haven't tested mine in years, but last one I did gave me a result above 140, however I don't really consider myself smart - using the right thought strategies/metgids when thinking and understanding abstract concepts within other concepts is what I think leads to my intelligence.

with very little studying on math, got a 19.9/20 in national exams. (being in maths university since then)
I can tell how smart a person is just by looking at his eyes (assuming he isn't acting stupid or something)
i've never met anyone smarter than me ( i don't say this as a super egoistic bastard, it just never happened). every smart person i meet will fail in certain matters i don't. (usually politics)
e.g. people who are better at math than me tend to not be left winged/anarchists (Im an anarchist since 16)

Im an atheist and i see people believing around me.(thats okay we are at the 2% anyway)
none understands string theory-quantum mechanics etc, while i've taken extreme interest on those matters since i was a kid, still wondering why ppl fail around me.
i'm better at video games than everyone i know based on the time it takes me to learn and the skill level i can reach. for example i've played dota for many years and watching the worlds top players play in tournaments i've always felt 'so what i could do this shit too'

i have never met a person who can apply logic and deduction more than me on any matter given.

>> No.2371462

I've arrived in all my political,social, non-religius beliefs with minimap studying on them, and i never agreed completely with anyone, i just took which axioms i thought were the most importand to explain the universe and went on to deduce everything i need, from politics to the meaning of life(there isn't one).

I seem to be the only person i know in real life who thinks singularity is the most important moment in human history, since it is easy to deduce that after that moment humanity will never be the same.

Although im good looking, i never had a girlfriend since im really bad at social skills, because i never took interest in developing them at all. (foreveralone.jpg)
i think im never gonna get a girlfriend anyway.

online failure tests rated me from 130-160 but iq rly doesnt matter imo,(atleast today) since it doesn't check your total knowledge about the world, your ability to deduct in matters that require different pattern recognition than that used in common math and language tests. in other words, todays tests cant rly test how smart you are, i mean, even hitler might have scored over 140..

You bring down EVERYONE around you with extreme generalization without even knowing them.

You value knowledge over wisdom. Guess what ? Knowing a lot of things doesn't make you smarter than other people. It only means you spent more time learning that stuff while they did something else.

Also, one more thing. Charisma and social competence is an important part of a person's intelligence.

However, up to this day we don't really know if we will ever be able to live forever (not necesarily based in dna), since we don't know yet if we will be able to reach stage 3-4 as a civilization ( we haven't completed-proven our theory of everything yet(or anything) ), and since A.I. ( or even an evolved form of human ) will be much more capable as scientists, we will know soon after singularity comes if we are gonna travel universes or just wait till the andromeda galaxy falls upon us(if we discover we will never be able to even move from our solar system).

Also, i don't understand why u hate me for my post, op said, you must post in this thread and tell us how do you know it. so thats why i know im so smart, from what my environment tells me, and thats what it has been telling me those years.
On a sidenote, i think i am smart because i've spend my kindergarten playing with lego. not sure though

I never took an actual IQ test. I did take one on the Internet and it gave me around 110-120. I know one thing about the IQ tests; according to articles I read in the past 5 or so years, it is "a primitive way to measure intelligence." It's a flawed system. So, let's say I apparently have the IQ of 90. I feel pretty bad for myself. Being musically gifted means nothing. Doing State Orchestra contests means nothing. Ranking up high means nothing. My talent meant nothing. My artistic talents mean nothing either. My ability to input many patterns into my drawings enough to make a person think when they see me my art means nothing. I do art when I am bored and there is nothing left for me to do. Does that imply I am a philistine for not using my talents to gain fast cash? I guess so. My parents tell me it's money down the drain. Like I give a shit about something that is so truly insignificant like money. I am an Atheist woman, I'm 18, and I'm married and pregnant. I graduated high school almost with honors (I didn't apply in time for the honors thing; but I was way over my credits, so technically, I did graduate with honors). I was accepted into Baylor University for Music and Pre-Med, but I didn't go. I scored 1586 on my SAT (I beat myself up over it too much). I didn't take an ACT. I took the Spanish SAT and I got an almost perfect score, same with the US History.

IQ:144

Summary:

Spent 4 years in the army folding tents, counting ammo, pretending to fight a war that will never happen. Wanted to earn a qualification, so I attended university and spent 4 years doing papers eventually getting a BSc in Ecology. Had an average of B-, by spending a majority of my time playing games and smashing off/ failing relationship with lesbian Asian bitch.

Still bored as shit. Now dating an ex model, who has two kids, and looking for a job with $120 to my name .

When I am stressed I play Maple Story and eat roast beef rolls with honey mustard.

I remember, way back in the day, people on this board almost universally agreed that IQ was pointless mental masturbation.

What was universally agreed was that practicing mathematics and pursuing science was what made one intelligent, not some number on how well they can solve some brain teasers and puzzles.

However, it may be that a mathematical mind would pick up on patterns easier than others. Still, what makes one intelligent isn't a number their genetics bestowed upon them, it's their ability to pursue science and do mathematics.

>> No.2374680

>>2374671

I still agree with this viewpoint. IQ measures a woefully small portion of the brain's power, and supposes that, for some reason, intellectual quickness is necessarily a pure reflection of the ability to think. I know of many minds that are not very nimble, but can go deeper and more thoroughly into material than many minds can.

most importantly, i think there's a tradeoff. i'm a sponge for science- i remember everything anyone has ever told me about orbital energies of the metallurgy of zirconium or DNA polymerase, but i forget almost every single conversation and experience i've had with humans in what seems like a MUCH shorter time scale than most people. seriously i forget about whole multi-year relationships until someone reminds me, and then it all comes back quick.

Sure IQ measurements aren't perfect, but some here are idiots for ignoring the obvious face validity and relevant correlations these tools have. Or would you deny it is a good predictor of academic achievement, mathematical proficiency, cognitive speed,...?

On the first test in my life I scored 180. That's when I was eight.
In my fifteens it was like 130 and now it's 161.
I failed two classes, partially out of not learning and autistic arguements with teachers. Art major now, pretty good grades.

IQ tests don't matter for shit. If you are smart, only people about whom people can tell they are smart, those can tell.
