You are now aware that most great scientists who truly contributed to science and humanity were at the far end of the bell curve.
The rest were lucky to stumble upon a conept/principle/discovery.
The rest of us, have no chance.

LOL 93% got it wrong. You can clearly see the bird is standing befor the man on the background. i would defenetly give the right answer.

I don't know what my IQ is. I think it's between 120 and 130 but that's based on Internet tests which are notoriously inaccurate.

If anything, Einstein was a savant, not a prodigious genius as measured by IQ. It offends me that so many believe that he had ever even taken an official IQ test. I've never been able to find a source of how his IQ was estimated. Seems to me it is more of a ridiculous urban rumor than historical fact.

Glad to him he had a verry rigid mom and dad, giving him a strict upbringing.

>were lucky

Now that's just one perspective from which to at it.

I could equally say that Einstein and Newton and the rest were equally lucky in being born with a higher natural intelligence.

In the end you can't blame and praise yourself on anything but the effort you exerted because it's the only factor that is totally in your own hands and it's the only factor everybody can alter.

If anything saging encourages continuation of the thread (as this post clearly testifies).

If you don't want a thread of the front page DON'T POST.


As for the OP.

What you said is true but I have nothing to be depressed about.

As much as some scientists were lucky to stumble on these discoveries so where these geniuses lucky in being born with the natural intelligence and in such perfect environment to reach their success.

In the end I believe there were many people who worked as hard if not even more but who were as much dedicated but perhaps not as lucky as these others but one might equally say that there achievements were equally great in context of everything.

How about we make it possible for the smart guys to do their thing? How about I fix their car with my 110 IQ so they can get to work, or the trucks that deliver his favorite soda to the market nearby, or take care of that huge industrial plant that makes the soda? Or any of those billion things that makes him think he had a nice day at work and home and that he really likes doing work that will advance technology so all those nice people in other places might enjoy their lives too?

Also, what makes you think I'd even want to have a chance? What if I just want to fuck girls, buy nice things for myself, travel around the world a bit and and just spend my time outside a laboratory, thinking about something else than some boring-as-hell equation that ironically might make my life better?

anywhere that isn't online. online IQ tests wouldn't be popular if the average person scored 100, so in the interest of ad revenue etc they seem to give around 120-130 to most of the people that take them.

online tests are likely bullshit

IQ and grades aren't necessarily correlated. you can be obscenely intelligent, but you don't put forth the effort to pass the class(or please the teacher), and you fail. conversely, you can suck dick for grades
