My mother had her IQ measured by a psychologist at 132.

She believes in flat earth. She does many stupid things routinely. Like, she once let the TV turned on in religious channel even when she wasn't at home so the house would be continually blessed by the preacher on it. And she can't understand *anything* you try to explain her, no matter how didactically you do it.

Would you feel the right to be sure the psychologist, for some reason, adulterated the result?

Electronic devices tend to mess up with the thought patter of individuals, no matter what the IQ is.
The only solution is to go analog, read more books and exercise math problems:

This is an example of what I meant. No matter how much IQ the individual has, his thought pattern causes him to make irrational decision, thanks to the electronic device he is using.

no, IQ tests were tools to be used for outliers and population level.

IQ is an extremely damaging concept for most to focus on.

Do not focus on it, whats yours or other peoples are it will in no way help you acheive anything.

It has been shown countless times that focus on IQ lowers self esteem and leads to a self fulfilling prophecy.

Do yourself a favor and do what you have a passion for and has use to others. Work hard at it, if your making progress thats what matters.

IQ is a measure of one component of "intelligence" (defined as interacting with the world for purposes of personal goal achievement), intelligence involves your ethic and personality which drastically affects what you will achieve in this world.

IQ is a measure of pattern recognition. 120-130s are the sweet spot for seeing patterns in things that they can follow but not being able to recognize that they are disinformation.

132 years old is pretty advanced age to get your IQ measured. You must be pretty old yourself OP at least 80.

It appears my assertions regarding the invalidity of the so-called intelligence-quotient in predicting and stratifying level of function across the normal range have been validated yet again.

IQ measures the ability to do logic puzzles. It doesn't measure intelligence and it certainly doesn't measure wisdom.

Wrong. You score an IQ. You don’t have an IQ, and it’s not measured.

When will you people understand IQ is a meme ? I got measured twice at 160 when i was a teen because my teachers wanted me to and I can't solve the most basic math problem. I literally can't fathom high school level math. I work minimum wage at a hotel (night desk waiting).
IQ is bullshit

IQ is just how fast you can pick up patterns, things that are learned through memorization or "accepting" information as facts can lead to you believing anything. Things like religious and political beliefs also tends to be rigid once you reach adulthood regardless of information. Only difference between a doctor and the schizo they treat is one spent thousands to learn accepted flashcards and one studied /x greentext.

Sound more like schizophrenia, and the act of confusing it with IQ does also.

the real marker of ability is how long you can sit at your desk and read boring shit for without drifting away. focus and staying power make genius. intelligence gets you there faster but so many genius level people completely waste their potential because they have errratic personalities and lack the focus and staying power to commit to progress.

[Anonymous No.10901734]

Task management, refocusing/task transition, delayed gratification are all components of most cognitively demanding professions and careers. You are assuming a special quality for a fairly standard trait of high intelligence, but the defining aspect of genius is creativity and ease of thought. Grinding is something anyone can do, intelligent people are more capable of it but any person can train themselves to slave away on an assignment or textbook.

She's a woman.

Female cognition, value judgements and decision making is an entirely different system to that of males.

It is based on emotion, feeling and well wishing. Decisions are made not based on projection of consequences, or the objective weighing of factors.

They are made based on the emotional state at the time, and the direction in which they want that emotional experience to go.

So in your Mom's case. That's like packing a V8 engine into a Soccer Mom Van. Sure the hardware is capable of a lot, but it's not going to be used for that.

Look on the bright side. You probably inherited her genes, meaning you get the benefit of that intelligence with the added bonus of being male, and so using it for things like Logic, reason, philosophy, discernment, planning, assessments, etc.

Or maybe just the test was wrong. Alternatively if she is that smart it's entirely possible that her persona and attitude are a false front. Perhaps when she was young she went through things that made her want to hide her intelligence. Fit in, blend in. It's entirely possible her intelligence has been deliberately hidden, perhaps even to the point where she has come to believe and identify with the false persona.

Or maybe the test was wrong. Occam's razor says so.
