Thanks. I've always wanted to become a mathematician, but the nagging insecurity has been a bit much.

I hear somewhere that the average IQ is 145 (bullshit), and I feel bad because I can't cut it.
I then hear that their average is 115 (also bullshit), and I feel bad for "polluting science and math" with my sub-genius IQ.

I've read a few studies on this, and the average mathematician IQ is 130. This has done nothing to stop my insecurity.

130 IQ is literally the sweet spot for traditional measures of success in life, you don't know what you're complaining about

>The probability of entering and remaining in an intellectually elite profession such as Physician, Judge, Professor, Scientist, Corporate Executive, etc. increases with IQ to about 133. It then falls about 1/3 by 140. By 150 IQ the probability has fallen by 97%!

I could acquire money for the sake of acquiring money, but that's not really how I want to live my life. I truly do care about proof-based mathematics. I could retire at 50 with my money and study math then, but I will have to work myself gray-haired for money that I don't care about. A mathematicians salary of 100k a year is more than good enough for me.

It should help OP and/or you to realize that the standard by which you measure yourself isn't what matters in this context. What matters is if you can meet the standards of the gatekeepers. And people far dumber than OP (and maybe you) have done so. So if OP (or you) would enjoy a career in math or science, give it a shot.

That's not how g works. G is supposed to be the factor that explains variance in all types of problems. The idea of multiple intelligences is not compatible with the theory of IQ, as the latter claims that success in one type of problem set is correlated with success in all other types of problem sets

>>15452138
I have exactly 133, and while I obviously could not split myself like an amoeba and pursue several careers as lawyer, doctor, etc. I do feel with my intellectual set of tools it'd be trivial to enter any such career. Note: I talk about "career", which is only partially coterminous with "field". E.g. I think I could become a well-cited mathematician, but obviously with 133 IQ I can't grasp everything in math (effortlessly).
The thing is: people are like dogs to me. They are like like toy automata. They are so predictable. I have extremely high empathy and know which buttons to press in 99.9% if I want to have my way.
133 IQ is almost a parody of "doing human". It's the admin account. It grants superuser privileges. It's a dev console.
Reading a r/AskReddit etc. comment by a 98 IQ Redditor is literally an identical experience, minus euphoria, of humouring a dog. Maybe a puppy. Genuinely.
For the record, I am an INTP, not as one might expect an INTJ. Just because people and their modi operandi are open books to me doesn't mean I make use of it. I also don't have any egoistic and machiavallien designs, so why should I make use of my "code inspection" tool? This ties back to my initial point: With 133 IQ one can -- or at least I can -- seize any career at a successful (not necessarily famous, of course) level. Modulo all the work, diligence needed, all careers reduce essentially to the same interpersonal social operations, and people always behave, act, and feel in very predictable ways. If some unicorn does not fit the bill, it just strengthens the general case.

The tests are also not good, to say the least. There can be a variety of reasons people score badly, who are very bright, or people score well, who trained themselves to answer the questions as expected.
I can score a very high in spatial, and still not see an object sitting in front of my face on a table or solve a Rubicks Cube in a reasonable amount of time.

Alright, let's analyze you.
1. For starters, do you think it's possible for me to -- some day, some mood -- test as, say, an ESFJ?

2. Do you think my birth month determined my "INTPness"? Of course not, it's ~1/12 chance what month I was born.
Does this same ~1/n calculus apply to the JMB personality types, for me, for you, or for an arbitrary test taker?

>>Falls for astrology.
How did this meme start? It's so retarded, and every NPC keeps repeating it. It's obviously not astrology. It's a test that asks, "what kind of a person are you?" You answer, "I'm like INTP", and it replies, "You're INTP". How is that different from any other characteristic? Some people are smart, others are creative. Some are artistic, and some are depressive. Using a test to figure out if one of these is relevant to an individual, and then describing him as such is obviously not astrology, is it?

>We already know that elites have an average IQ of about 125 (R16 128) which implies that the audience that is to be convinced by the elites has a mean R16IQ of 108 (D15IQ is about the same under 120 IQ). People with R16IQs below 98, after Hollingworth, are not effective followers and in a modern meritocracy are essentially disenfranchised and in the public discourse, essentially 'The Clueless'. It means that the 'The Followers' in the public discourse have a R16IQ mode of 108 R16IQ and 'The Leaders' have a R16IQ mode of 128 (125 D15IQ). These calculations provide us with a theoretical understanding of why the intellectually elite professions so consistently have mean D15IQs of 125.

In free markets people choose to whom they listen. In other words, in audiences dominated by high school graduates, who average around 105 IQ, the successful leaders will have an average IQ of 105+20=125. Speakers with R16IQs over 105+30=135 (D15IQ130) will be cancelled from radio, fired from TV and print or not elected because they confuse rather than enlighten their audience. A college educated audience (115 IQ) will be most convinced by a R16IQ of 115+20=135 and confused by a 115+30=145 R16IQ (140 D15IQ).

If you're not 115 to 125 IQ you're NGMI
