My IQ is 102.

Am I fucked? Does IQ score really determine one ability to learn?

Does this mean that no matter how many books I read, I'm bound to be stupid?

Be content. If anything your average IQ should motivate you, and with a little work you'll surpass alot of these people with somewhat higher IQs who linger in complacency. You needn't be proficient at finding patterns in sequences to be an intelligent and valuable person.

And if you're a woman, you're fucking useless regardless of IQ. But we forgive you. If you're attractive.

IQ of 130 here. It actually doesn't matter for shit. IQ is flawed, as everyone knows. Still, it does give a clear, general idea of intelligence. My advice: Don't give a shit. If you have ambition, you will succeed. In most cases, anyway.

138 here.
I believe IQ only shows your deductive and learning capabilities. You can still gain the same amount of knowledge and get to the same intellectual/skill level as someone with a higher IQ could, it just takes a little more effort.

There are plenty of people with high IQs that are lazy fucks and don't know shit because of it.

If it was an online test, subtract about 25 points. So you're at 77.

But skills + work ethic > intelligence, in terms of success in life. You'll be fine. Just won't ever be a successful theoretical physicist, but you can certainly be a dentist, engineer, attorney, or accountant. Don't worry, bro. Just work hard.

Don't worry about it too much, IQ has literally no bearing on one's success level or ability to learn. Put in the hours, do the studying and ask for help when you need it. You'll get far.

People with higher IQs probably have difficulty fitting in with the average Joe, so they become reclusive and spend their time on the internet where other reclusive intelligent people spend their time. Though I may be wrong, because these people have all probably taken internet IQ tests to determine their intelligence.

You can also do a bunch of online tests. I did like 6 or so, and they all were pretty varied and from different sites. I got around 130 on each and every one of them

I don't really feel that smarter than anybody else.

Richard Feynman had 125, and he mastered calculus by 15. Won all kinds of math competitions and stuff, and I've met people who supposedly had 150 IQ who were complete idiots

So no. IQ tests don't measure how "smart" you are, they just measure how well you do at IQ tests

Don't pay any attention to it OP, just do the best you can. The only thing that will come of obsessing over an IQ of 102 will be automatically assuming that you are incapable of certain things. You should focus on enjoying the process of learning rather than setting up boundaries for yourself. If things are too hard you will not enjoy them and move onto other things, then perhaps when you are more mature in your thinking about a subject you will find the more complex parts surprisingly easy to comprehend.

The main thing is this: Newton had an IQ higher than all of us here and yet he can never learn some of the things about this universe that all of us learn. He never knew about protons, electrons, and the big bang. We are in a privileged position as we are able to know much about the laws that govern our universe. Just make the best use of it you can. Even if we cannot become the next Einstein we can enjoy what the Einsteins of this world have discovered and share their discoveries with others.

Good luck with learning.

Legit 133 here.
Have done research on intelligence.
IQ...is... weird, in the sense its not really something straightforward, they are many variables to consider.

It is predictive, it is correlated with intelligence, but not directly and not accurately.

Its tricky, i would need hours to explain.

First you CAN raise your IQ, that is 100% proven, not that raising IQ would solve anything.
Second, success and academics are 80% about work and 20% about actual intelligence.

There are MILLIONS with above 130 IQ in the world of academics, why do you think it is only a handful of those people that lead great academic success?
Because of their persistence and hard work.
All great scientists were obsessed with their research, all their life was about their research, all hours of the day were about the research.
Anyone with average intelligence so dedicated can manage to pull off great things.
