I'm too scared to take an IQ test. What if I get a sub 100 score, I'd basically be a confirmed retard.

Can several untreated concussions throughout childhood significantly effect intelligence? How can I ensure a respectable score?

[Anonymous No.10724735]

Take an online IQ test. It's impossible for anyone to get an IQ less than 130 on those.,

Just take the test a second time, your score will improve.

[Anonymous No.10724743]

>>10724718
are you sure they were concussions if they were untreated?
I've been knocked unconscious several times, beaten, head kicked, billy-clubbed. But I've had 0 concussions and my IQ remains unaffected.

IQ is meaningless, just dont take a test

[Anonymous No.10724746]

I've come to the conclusion that taking IQ tests without actually needing to do a IQ test is mostly both unecessary and short-sighted because a good answer and a disappointing answer leaves you with thoughts that can affect your life in a bad way. So to avoid this, even when the chance is present that taking this IQ test can help you find your place as one could argue, dont test yourself at all. I personally did three times and while i was satisified i'd rather continue to narrow down my intelligence in the real world

>can brain damage cause brain damage?
yes you should have not play sports dumbass. there is a place called a gym where you can have a safe non interactive environment for exercise.
there is no ensuring, just sleep a full nights sleep and you'll get your true score.
you are already retared with or without the test.
and smarter people are already smart with or with our it.
taking the test doesn't result in the magical gain or loss in intelligence, just a vague, respectable idea of it.
look pal having a big IQ is not a big deal, I am 160, not too good but ok, but I don't get free blow jobs just for existing. you still need to learn information to use it.
sure you will never do anything profoundly interesting or meaningful but rarely anyone does even among the big brains.
life is not that important dude, just do what you like.
I mean im a math major and I know it's retarded because I'll be fucking poor, but it is what I love and I cannot imagine living in the worthless world of suffering without the great joy maths brings me.
some people like having sex, I live having math.
also, guess what brain boi, understanding your failings is a symbol of intelligence, or at least a higher self awareness and acceptance of failure. the quicker you are to be ok that you're wrong the quicker you can solve your problem. rather than being an arrogant cunt that refuses to realize they are getting cucked by dunning-kruger effect.
you can always just study brainlet sciences too, like bio and chem or pseudo sciences like CS, engineering(this one take zero IQ, literal retards can do this with ease), social "science", philosophy.

IQ tests are made to help you find a job you will feel comfy in and to screen for ADHD/depression if the subtests have yield a weird uneven result.

It's not a spook to be scared off.

IQ scores fluctuate, if you are unhealthy and have been playing vidya for the past 5 years you are obviously going to score low, but if you have been studying for the past 5 years and live a healthy lifestyle you are going to score high. Brain fog is real and its root cause is an unhealthy lifestyle. Considering you probably post on 4chan, statistically speaking you are probably living an unhealthy lifestyle.

[Anonymous No.10725488]

Don't do it... I got 137 and that's way too high... if it was true then I failed at life because I'd rather smoke weed than apply myself

A better estimate of your intelligence is how well you do at university. Are you getting A's and B+'s in mathematics/thermodynamics/mechanics/materials/programming? Any STEM field really...

Then you're probably good and shouldn't worry too much.

iq of eminent scientists ~145-160, average iq of mathematics PhD's ~140-160, average iq of physics PhD's ~140-160, average iq of most CS majors ~125, and the average iq of the White American population is ~100, Blacks 85, hispanics ~90. There is nothing special or significant about these programs at most universities, the work load is pathetic, level of inductive reasoning subhuman standards. You need to at least be accepted into a PhD program for these to be considered on par with the work most maths undergrads are asked to do at good universities, sorry.

My father had 3 major concussions before he was 18, took a Mensa test, got 155. Didn't join, because just why.

So the answer is maybe, probably, and depending on your metric, not necessarily.

[Anonymous No.10725594]

code fags that get As are only from the range of 105-96 IQ
engies are 100-90
and that is for As, you can have a lower IQ and force your way through out of pure will alone.
sorry but you will never be a math or physics math.
maybe do a soft science like bio, where the drugies and roasties hang out
