Can someone with ~115 IQ do computer scientist at university? Will I get blown the fuck out? I don't know any programming languages and don't have a history of prominent mathematics. Am I simply too brainlet? I'm currently studying secondary education and it's easy.

Live in Australia.

You can not only do it, you can excel in it; however, you'll always just be a wage slave working to implement what your MBA bosses and PhD scientists tell you to do. You'll be paid well, but you'll just be running Java tests all day. Mindless, joyless labor and you can't even work in your favorite environment.. gotta use some shitty corporate spy IDE. If you fail, you can always go into university IT and lay cat5 and help qt Asians repair their Facebook machines. They'll think you're gross and fat, but you might be able to snag some nudes.

OP. How did you measure your IQ? If you say iqtest.dk, then yes you are legitimately retarded since you took that horoscope of a test seriously so you should probably major in something like gender studies.

How is iqtest.dk accurate if they don't even give any statistical proof regarding its accuracy? It's just "inspired" by the raven metrics. Real IQ tests cost a lot of money because its not cheap to make a test and then do all the statistics to make sure its accurate. Ask yourself a serious question, please. Do you think g can be reduced down to a 40 minute test taken on a shitty old flash website with no proof of authenticity at all?

I would be surprised if your IQ is above room temperature by virtue of how you articulated that sentence. I guess that applies to your family also since you share the same gene flow.

That's because you were taking a brainlet-tier philosophy course meant to serve as an elective for other majors and your professors thought you were stupid and would be willing to switch majors so that they could fleece you for everything you would otherwise have given to the CS department.

>do computer scientist
Ya can do that with a 60 IQ, they're generally pretty easy to pin down and are often in fairly noised proof server workrooms.

Just don't go for an English major with grammar like that.

Seriously though, if you wanna go into that as an employment field, you should know some languages by now. Your IQ is fine - but the folks that started learning when they were kids will run circles around you and also find it much easier to adapt to new languages and studio changes, as they've been doing that all their lives.

And it's pretty much the most outsourceable profession there is.

If you want to study it to enrich yourself, by all means, but I wouldn't make it a career goal, unless you're far too young to be posting.

Dunno how the difficulty is in Australia, but in Germany you definitely can't. I have an professional tested IQ of 105 and dropped out after three semester and three failed tries.
All people in my university who still study CS and have good grades are ALL above average smart people, there is no average IQ person with a CS Bachelor in Germany, you need to be a person with a very high IQ to even survive the first three semester.

4 hours everday since start of lectures. I tried everything and failed, but I already discussed this on that board that "hard work" doesn't mean shit if you are not gifted by nature.

But I can obviously not give a proof that I learned 4 hours everyday until exams because I didn't installed a camera recording me, so you have just believe my word.
