sure, but saying you can unambiguously put a number on it is brainlet-tier shit that only a psychologist would be stupid enough to attempt

anyhow the real status symbol of intelligence is having degrees, and the prestige of the school awarding it and the advisor who signed off on it. people who are smooth talkers with intelligent sounding talking points get a certain value but that doesn't imply they're actually smart. but if you go into a room trying to impress people "i have an iq of N!" everyone will think you're a true douche

Insecurity and leverage. Like an animal might puff itself up to ward off a predator that lacks the neurological machinery to infer that this appearance may not be reality.

I saw a picture of a snake the other day with a primate face pattern on the back. It evoked a primal terror. Like I wanted nothing to do with that thing and would steer even clearer than I would a massive snake otherwise, and I had no incentive to counterbalance or nullify this innate reaction. It was a weird face, and that means avoid it.

well, that's what a PhD program requires in the USA. you need to do some original research, and it needs to be approved and checked by your advisor (who is an expert in the field) as well as peers in the field. a PhD implies you've accomplished something like this, so when i go to interview for a job at Google, they just look at the letters after my name; i don't need to explain the details of the specialized things i've published on to people whose eyes would immediately gloss over due to it being way beyond non-experts

Actually, they reduce your IQ at birth by injecting the mother with hormones and anesthetics, early clamping of the placenta depriving you of your iron stores and blood supply before your lungs are capable of operating, vitamin K injections which further thicken your hypoxic blood, and probably vaccines. Circumcision also introduces infant trauma which is known to damage the brain, prime it for dissociation, and lower IQ.

The hospital birth is an assembly-line to produce a new compliant fellow citizen.

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.

Psychometricians generally regard IQ tests as having high statistical reliability. Clinical psychologists generally regard IQ scores as having sufficient statistical validity for many clinical purposes. In a survey of 661 randomly sampled psychologists & educational researchers, published in 1988, Mark Snyderman & Stanley Rothman reported a general consensus supporting the validity of IQ testing. Generally, scholars w/ any expertise in the area of intelligence & intelligence testing share a common idea of the most important components of intelligence, & are convinced that it can be measured w/ some degree of accuracy. Almost all respondents picked the ability to acquire knowledge, ability to solve problems, & abstract reasoning as the most important elements.

A degree in a demanding field obtained from a re spectable university fits the definition of "achievement" perfectly well, you disingenuous brainlet. I take it you´re not aware of the fact that the whites and asians (who don´t benefit from affirmative action) attending engineering at MIT, CalTech or any other highly respected instution got there by almost pure merit - they simply don´t admit people (of caucasian or asian ethnicity, at least) with a low SAT-score, e.g. with low IQ.
