There is no logical connection between the two parts of your statement. He is under no obligation to use his high IQ in the manner you believe he should. He might be using it to figure out how to best make igloos out of matchsticks, fruit punch, and a compressor. You're not the gatekeeper of what can be considered high IQ activities.

He probably took IQ tests over and over again for years until he managed to become good at it. IQ tests have (some) value insofar as you take it blind, without any earlier preparation, without knowing what to expect on the test. In that case your ability to quickly adapt to the kind of questions asked in the test will be measured. With practice nearly anyone can improve, however slowly. probably nobody is a chess master since birth; but as you play chess, you become better at it. Same with solving math problems. IQ tests are probably no different. The main underlying theme of IQ tests seems to be pattern recognition, but you could say that pattern recognition is also the underlying theme of chess and much of math, but it's not like your ability to play chess and do math is set in stone since you're likely to get better the more you train at solving chess problems and math problems. Thus I presume it's not too difficult to get a IQ score if you are patient and willing to spend years practicing how to solve IQ tests. As /pol/tards are obsessed with IQ as the be-all end-all measure of intelligence, it wouldn't surprise me if this guy spent his nights practicing how to get a high score on IQ tests.

On January 22, 2012, Savant admitted a mistake in her column. In the original column, published on December 25, 2011, a reader asked:

I manage a drug-testing program for an organization with 400 employees. Every three months, a random-number generator selects 100 names for testing. Afterward, these names go back into the selection pool. Obviously, the probability of an employee being chosen in one quarter is 25 percent. But what is the likelihood of being chosen over the course of a year?

Her response was:

The probability remains 25 percent, despite the repeated testing. One might think that as the number of tests grows, the likelihood of being chosen increases, but as long as the size of the pool remains the same, so does the probability. Goes against your intuition, doesn't it?

From watching a documentary about him (on youtube), he seems to be missing two things that you would normally associate with being intelligent.
His lack of self awareness and following from this a lower level of quality of thinking.

To exemplify it, in the documentary he talked about how he was bullied in school because the other kids were jealous of him, that he was so much smarter than they were.
An alternative explanation could be that he was bullied because he had a superiority complex (whether misplaced or not is irrelevant) and constantly felt the need to let the other kids know of his superiority. In this case it would not just be petty jealousy that would cause him to be bullied, but more his behavior toward the other kids that was the cause of the bullying. Most kids are bullied for a reason, you don't have really attractive girls getting bullied in high school because of an inherent jealousy, you get bullied because of your behavior.

The point is, that this is one of many examples throughout the documentary where his reasoning is somewhat child like. He doesn't seem that thoughtful or reflective.

Hi everyone,
I am your typical incel cuck /his/ and /sci/ poster. I used to be a libtard and believed all the Jewish medias brainwashing just like you. I used to rage at my monitor screaming "POL!!!!!" just like you do whenever someone would post facts that I didn't want to face. They caused a painful reaction I later learned is called cognitive dissonance.

When a poster here called someone /pol/ I wouldn't even read the memes and infographs they posted let alone click any links. I didn't want to be associated with an out group and shunned by my peers here and ostracized.

One day I realized "what the fuck am I thinking? This is an anonymous board, no one will know if I read them" so I started to click on them to peek at them through my hands covering my face. At first I only did it with one eye, then after awhile I would even use both eyes! After a time I removed my hands altogether and even actually clicked links! I was so proud of myself for the first month!

I slowly started to realize there is only a small number of people who scream "pol" "x" and "schizo" at people here and that most of them are actually paid to come here and do it which is why they are in every thread every hour of the day. Sounds cray right? I thought so at first too but if you actually pay attention you can easily see it is true.

They are trying to use ridicule and the illusion of being a majority here in order to try and keep sheeple who are easily influenced by social engineering from listening to what these people had to say. It only works on dumb/lazy people mostly but for these kind of people it doesn't take much anyway to get them to continue being dumb and lazy, it is their natural state.

Anyhow after I overcame my initial fear of being called racist and ostracized here I even ventured out to redit, twatter and faceberg and started reading memes and clicking links there too! It seems these people have called everyone alt right, nazi, racist, homophobe, Islamophobe, antisemite etc etc so much no one really gives a shit about being called these names anymore, not even normies!

This was such a relief to me because I didn't have any irl friends but now that I started reading and interacting with the "racist Nazis" and their posts I have met so many great people who have really treated me like family. I even met a gf and got to touch her boobas once!

I don't want to ramble on too much I just wanted to share my story of how much I have grown as a person over these last 4 years of Donald Trump's presidency and how it opened my eyes to how much power the Jews have through the media and how much all these ungrateful sub humans in white nations hate the people that have provided them with every modern comfort and convenience in order for them to shit out babies like rabbits and be absolutely worthless in every other respect as they destroy white nations and white living spaces voting in communism to be slaves to the Jew while white people subsidize it.

I found a new home and a new family who love me for being white and know my genetic potential absolutely dwarfs every other sub human on this planet in comparison. They appreciate me for being me and for being white. If you anons wake up to the threat of n*ggers and k*kes you can have all of this too! All the boobas you could ever dream of to touch on beautiful fashy white women! You can have purpose, drive and pride just like me. It really changed my life and I wish all my anons here to have what I now have to escape their hopeless existence. Heil Hitler!

Not as important as you might think since most jobs are not problem solving orientated and computers can do most of the heavy lifting, but it's good to have at least smart tier IQ so you can understand geniuses on a fundamental level rather than just superficially.
IQ tests were designed to detect retardation rather than genius, which needs some schizo-autism tossed to spice up visionary and obsessive aspects. For example, Oppenheimer, the inventor of the atomic bomb, was a Terry Davis tier schizophrenic.

A talented person can hit the mark that's known; but a genius can hit the mark of a target unknown.

This is something that really bothers me. The 'left' are cannibalizing themselves by canning anything that offers a slightly different view, and hence pissing reasonable people off who are simply interested in looking at different viewpoints. This is a fairly recent development and it wouldn't surprise me of certain media interests were pushing this harsh devision deliberately, to make sure most leftist groups consist of sheep who are incapable of thinking through things except to conform to their peer group, hence deflating serious opposition to the actual problems of modern capitalism and pushing 'smart' people further to the right, where they are comfortable begin able to think and discuss things more freely.

The flip-side of this is that many people who now consider themselves 'right-wing' are now largely ignorant of serious leftist though, especially the libertarian branches of it, as the left have been overtaken by those who openly wish to repress speak and deride people who stand against this (naturally, this is an calculated strategy to get masses of people to stand against a value that is so clearly reasonable).

Even if you have high intelligence your focus is still as narrow as anyone else's, if he isn't a reflective person he probably never will be until something causes him to self reflect. IQ doesn't make you hyper aware of everything, it makes it so whatever you do focus on, you will probably put the information together quicker and better than other people, but you still have to have a reason to focus on that particular thing and I guess for Langan that reason never came up.

Questions to explore: what is the mean IQ of the parents in black families that earn over $100k/year? What is the mean IQ of their offspring? Is there a greater tendency to regress to the mean for black people than for people of other races?

The result are old and has no official verification. The sat never had a chart that mix race and income. It seem that the first occasion of the result was made by some guy blog post.

I didn't say anything about academia, I don't care about academia or being a professional. Having a high IQ is such a worshiped thing here yet the man with the highest IQ hasn't really produced anything of instrumental value, he hasn't made a noticeable impact on anything despite fitting into the measurement of 'genius' . What I'm saying is that if scoring high IQ = objectively more intelligent, then objectively speaking, he would have contributed to the world in some way, because he was more intelligent. If that isn't the case, like you say, then IQ isn't really worth anything at all except for being able to gloat about having a high IQ and masturbate with your friends.

I love her and the way she writes.

I'm also subscribed to a couple magazines for societies with a very high IQ (above 160) and befriended a couple. The very smart people I've met have been very normal. Forget about geniality, really high IQ is about being less retarded.

You can't imagine how lonely very smart people feel. Like the average /sci/ user living surrounded by the deepest Appalachian rednecks.

There's nobody to impress, and the ones that might be needn't be impressed.

Reminder that in one of her Parade Magazine columns, she was asked by a reader what is the greatest threat to the future of our country. She answered hyphenated Americans. If you call yourself an African-American, Asian-American, Israeli-American, etc., in her opinion you are what will destroy the United States. That was back in the 1990s. Can't imagine she could write that today and not get cancelled.

You've yet to show that this would be the case. His existence seems to indicate otherwise. Once again you're mad that he won't make cool toys for you that you can't make for yourself. Stop imposing your value system on others. If people with ultra high IQs don't give a damn about providing you with jetpacks and warp drives, that's up to them. They don't owe you anything and they're not less intelligent simply because they choose not to be your errand boy.

Having intelligence helps but isn't a substitute for work ethic.
Anyone who brags about their IQ is an idiot and invalidates it as a measure of intelligence.

The CTMU is pretty instrumental and of incredible value. He's basically proving the Bible, that reality is a mind, has an algebraic structure therefore must be a language.

The Bible says "in the beginning was the word, and the word was with god and the word was god". It also says "all things were created through the word".

He also says "reality is in a state of deciding what it is", this coincides with earth being a temporary place where we will wind up in either heaven or hell.

I hate this board now.
Can't even talk about the science of IQ when the respective thread is posted, just resorts to a temper tantrum.
IQ is ok.
High scores are impressive I guess, they would probably do well in stem, but maybe they are disinterested or unmotivated.
There's no such thing as geniuses.

listen, if there was a standardized G intelligence test with a lot of available data we would be discussing about that, for now we have only IQ and it is 30% related to general intelligence. Better than nothing.
Pic related is an example from a random distribution. Not perfect, but there is a relationship. You can clearly see it.

it is actually proven that (to a certain extent) you can become better at doing IQ tests after training.
Of course it is mostly valid for above 100 IQ people who are able to understand patterns in logical tests, in my opinion.

It's a kind of hobby of mine to collect them, but they are just out there available.

Fact of the matter is a 100 IQ warehouse manager could easily solve world hunger since it's entirely a supply chain issue. The reason this doesn't happen is that global commerce is decentralized and those who starve have been priced out.

You have to be an utter retard to take what is essentially noise and proclaim it as evidence for the utility of IQ tests. Fuck me, the only reason we still talk about IQ is because its the only thing Psychology has to offer that is somewhat reproducible. The rest is pretty much pseudoscience, the whole field would collapse. Intelligence is by far one of the most complex phenomena in the universe. The fact that we have delegated the study of it to brainlet psychologist that spend all day drawing regression lines on shit like this is a travesty
