Better topic:

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be one of those simpletons with an IQ of 90?
I'd really like to experience it, just for a day tho. Just to like, you know, see what its like.

Like when i see a retarded ad on tv. It makes me wonder why anyone would buy something that dumb. But lots of people buy that shit.

tldr: I wonder what its like to be average/below average

How on Earth did anyone even predict Einstein's IQ?

He never took any tests that were well correlated with IQ.

Also, this thread sucks. You view the world based on your subjective life experience. I will admit that average people do participate in ridiculous activity. Grinding, jungle music, hilariously dim opinions. It gives you a feeling of superiority and perhaps a very tiny amount of self-importance.

Well its not that common to take official IQ tests here where i live, so ive never taken one. Anyone got link to an official IQ test, which doesn't say "Above average" ans such. I've only taken one serious one and it only said "Very high, better than 98,5% of those who have taken this test" or something.

Tl;dr: Link to IQ test plox?

If the average mentally inadequate has an IQ of around 60 or so, and ~100 IQ, then that would mean a 40 IQ difference when talking to a retard. Einstein had over a 60 IQ difference, so talking to anyone for him must have been like talking to people with deserve retardation.

No, the superiority just comes from having the number, or having enough people tell you you're super-smart. Doing some significant real-life accomplishment that is dependent on high intelligence... that's a much different feeling. A much less vile one than superiority. Then you have something to actually feel good about yourself for, so you don't have to manufacture good feelings out of a number.

I have a friend with an IQ like that, and while she is really nice and fun to be around, she is just plain stupid. Completely incapable of reasoning her way through simple problems, relies completely on emotional responses because she cannot think rationally. Couldn't finish her GED, failed the test 4 or 5 times before she gave up.

Its a good thing that one of the requirements to be a Starbucks supervisor isn't basic reasoning skills, she would starve to death otherwise.

Einstein's brain when it was dissected, showed the part that is used for spatial thinking was completely abnormal and enlarged. He actually had a very hard time learning the tensor calculus he needed to make GR work, though he had a truly amazing ability to conceptualize manifolds and operations upon them. It just goes to show how consolidating intelligence into a one dimensional scalar is silly.

Well to come up with new ideas requires original thought, and hours spent analysing various aspects of the field in question.

What Einstein did was a lot more complex than just solving some puzzles. He even admitted himself that achieved his results mostly through hard work.

It would be interesting to see the corrrelation between IQ and self-made millionaires. I'd say there'd be personalit traits which correlate a lot stronger than IQ.

Btw, i have an IQ of 121 but in the DATs my mathematical ability was in the 99th percentile. Either intelligence tests are flawed, or intelligence is too complicated to be given in a single figure.

I think the most important aspect of what I would call "intelligence" is having the demeanor to obsess over a problem for however many years it takes until you solve it. That was Newton and Einstein.

>Btw, i have an IQ of 121 but in the DATs my mathematical ability was in the 99th percentile. Either intelligence tests are flawed, or intelligence is too complicated to be given in a single figure.
Those two have nothing to do with each other. Intelligence is usually regarded as an innate ability to learn. A math test shows how much you have ACTUALLY learned in a specific area of study.

An actual IQ test made by a professional is usually a multiple choice test, and the psychologist that tells you the score doesn't do anything that requires intuition or anything. He just sums your score, something that any computer can do.

Having a high IQ doesn't mean that you aren't clouded by emotions and other factors. You may have good spacial thinking abilities, but you're still a human being, and many other factors can inhibit you from doing.... a lot.

Also, anyone who rages at IQs because they're annoyed or feel jealous or superior (insecure) is a sensitive bitch. This has nothing to do with intelligence, it just means that you take people's words so seriously and it hurts you, so you have to defend yourself in some pathetic way. Yes, IQ is important- but it's just a fucking trait that can be affected by other traits, that's it.

Serious question: Do you guys know the percentage the IQ you keep talking about corresponds to?

Or is more like "what 135? really high, cool bro!!"

Are you also aware that IQ tests are deficiency tests? It's measuring the degree to which you can't solve problems. Which is why modern tests considered to be legit by the psychometrics community won't allow for a measured IQ greater than about 145. Very few people are capable of getting all of it right in the test, and we don't make tests for very few people but for the masses.

Which IQ measurement was that?

I have had my Intelligence quotient measured several times. Sometimes via the standard Stanford-Binet (as used in Oxford) and others.. I achieved a 145+ and then in a supplemental test, I achieved a 169+..

2 questions:

1.
If you are more intelligent than others, what is it that they are doing that you cannot do to obtain that "outstanding career"?

>but because of a lack of power to utilize it to socialize well
2. Is the well lonely?

My IQ is in the 142-148 range. I am 26 years old. It has gone down as I've aged, a phenomenon I partially attribute to IQ tests for younger people being ridiculously easy to skew with trivia/early interests.
What's it like?
The longer I live on this planet the more the saying 'ignorance is bliss' rings true.
Creativity and imagination are my strong suits and come naturally to me in ways that appear profound and amazing to the average person. I have the ability to understand multiple sides to issues and reason my way into forming my own opinions based on evidence. Politically I am a fiscally responsible liberal (shush). My short term goals include drinking a small glass of delicious chocolate milk and producing a feature length film. I have a natural proclivity towards sucking at math, however, since my phone has a calculator on it I am only moderately shamed by this fact.

I don't think I count, unless IQ raises with age.
When I was twelve, I got an IQ test with a psychologist, and I scored a 127.

I enjoy basic philosophy, and often ask myself abstract questions. Sometimes I over-analyze things, and often look at problems in a much broader perspective than other people. But at the same time, I can be stubborn to new ideas...like in algebra throughout high school I hated new formulas, I hated how flexible algebra was. I wanted mathematics to be rigid and linear. Every week when our teacher would put a problem on the board (we weren't supposed to figure it out, it's intended to be impossible until he introduces the popular formula) I would break down the problem in my head holding onto dozens of instances of addition, subtraction, multiplication, ect, in my head, and a few minutes later I'd shoot my hand up and solve the problem before he gave us the formula. But I couldn't do this with all problems and had trouble adopting new formulas. I'd rather have used basic methods in a complex manner than use more advanced methods in a simple manner. On the other hand, I was great at trigonometry. But I did and do dislike math...not linear enough.

When sitting in lectures I tend to grasp the information faster than others, but I can't always hold onto all of it. I devour the key concepts and more advanced ideas, but often I get bored when I get something in 5 minutes when the professor takes 20 minutes to explain it. But when I hit a dead end, I hit it hard. My focus is amazing if I like something, abysmal if I don't.

tl;dr: Give me a SOLID base to work on for any subject, and I'll go buck-wild with it. If it's too flexible a subject to have a solid base on, I'll either hit a dead end or take it as a challenge. Also, don't go slow.

In my psych class at the beginning of the year, my teacher tried to say a cool thing about psych that supposed to be deep or something. He told the class about everyone may see different colors (like I might see red while someone else might see blue). Most of the class was oooing and awwing while I just thought to myself how I contemplated that a couple of months before and then thought about how everybody's favorite color might be the same color. The smarter people I know really do just get things a lot faster and think of much more complex things than the less intelligent people I know.

I took some test but got lazy 50-75% through and skipped to the end and it gave me a 162.

TLDR: Bobby Fischer is a great example--extreme intelligence is ofttimes pure insanity.

A long time ago, I used to amuse myself by taking an IQ test at my current school each year, for shits and giggles. Around middle school - sophomore college year my IQ for whatever reason began to steadily rise. I think I peaked somewhere around 140, but that was probably when the tests were still geared towards younger groups. But I became more and more apathetic about the world around me as I did. Increasingly frustrated with normal people whom I viewed as stupid and irresponsible. Eventually college finally broke me out of my shell and I fudged the last half or so of my stay in college. Ended with a 3.0 average in my senior year. I don't know what my IQ is now, but the liquor says lower, and my penis says yes.

Dear /sci/

I took an IQ test when I was 11 and I had an IQ of ~150, this allowed me to get into private education when my family couldn't afford it.

Anyway I took one again when I was 18 and it resulted in saying that I had an quotient of 133, can anyone explain this to me?

Was it because I didn't really care about high school? Or is it just the standardisation of the test that is fail?

To answer OP's question (assuming that my results were accurate), it's hard to tell how I view the world feels different as opposed to people with lower IQ, as I have never been in a situation to experience it.

I am below average and average on a rare good day. I usually get the scores for average or a little above average on the online tests, but have never taken a "real" one, mainly because most people would think it's a waste of time to give me one.

I failed a grade in highschool, and was doing algebra during my junior year. 95% of my classtime was spent wandering around in my own thoughts for an hour and a half- concentration is nearly impossible for the subject matter, especially maths. Oddly enough I do quite well in the science courses and am a skilled writer, but my god awful scores in math courses has kept me down. I'm going to a community college now and you guessed it- have to take highschool level math again. It's sad because I really wish I could have a technical career but I understand it will never happen with below average intelligence. I graduated highschool with the third lowest grades and I wasn't even mexican.

I am very socially handicapped.
I have but one friend I met in elementary school of whom I still talk to regularly, although I rarely see him in person. I have internet friends, mainly from 4chan that I talk to pretty much every night. I have had a couple of self-proclaimed "girlfriends" that I lost interest in pretty much the instant they claimed themselves so. I cannot hold a conversation well and afterwards usually feel physically drained- in crowds I get extremely hot and have to move through less populated areas to get where I want. Often I have a hard time responding because I can't "catch" what others are saying. I'll see and hear them talking normally, but it's like my brain can't distinguish what their words are. It's actually pretty freaky, although people get annoyed when I have to ask "what?" 3 or 4 times or just give them a canned response like a nod. My live with anything from extreme sadness to extreme hatred or anger at all times.

So yeah, that's the gist of what it's like to live with a below average intellect.

Some of it's just observational bias. Randomfags that come across this thread don't want to post their IQ's, so you're left with posts from people that have an above-average IQ.

I don't know. I did two online IQ tests when I was bored; one said 131 and the other 123. I don't think those scores are accurate, nor do I think that an IQ result is an accurate gauging of intellect.

I don't care what my IQ is anyway. I know I'm intelligent and that's enough for me.

158 IQ here (proper test, not online garbage)

And yes, I see the world pretty differently. I hate it all, the stupidity of everyone around me, the pointless rules and trends everyone abides by, and the fact that everyone's ultimate aim in life is just to be like everyone else.
I can't get along with anyone, because all I can ever do is notice their flaws, and argue with them over the dumb things they do. E.g. I never drink alcohol, because it's just downright pointless to, thus all I do is look down on people and argue whenever I try to hang out.

I thought I would be happy doing maths at the top University, but my depression and insomnia (not easy to sleep when you think too much) was too much for me and I didn't even get a high grade.

Conclusion: High IQ sucks, it's a curse not a gift.
It's like Dr. House, or when Adam and Eve ate the fruit of knowledge (I'm not religious or anything), and with their sudden gain in knowledge came shame and misery. At least in Dr. House's case he is actually making a positive difference in the world, that's all I can hope to accomplish.

Why sort of shitty community-college do you go to to state such an absurdity? This is University level we are talking about.

About 1/3 of the students dropped out in the first of second years because they just couldn't make it. They were generally the most hardworking and determined of all of us. 60% of the rest are getting shitty passable grades. That's as much as determination goes.

Not to mention that me being on 4chan should be sign enough of how hardworking and determined I am......./s

I've done two real and about a dozen internet tests.

Back in middle school I scored 129 IQ average on both a written test, and one where I was interviewed and tested by a psychologist. They were running a gifted student school in my district and they wanted to fill it up with all the kids who fucking did there work. I didn't make it, but out of the like 12 kids in my grade who were tested only 4 made it through so whatever.

The internet ones are a joke and I usually score around 130-140 depending on what the fuck they are, as long as they're biased towards Anglo-saxon culture. If it's just pure math and puzzle I go abysmal and get like 115 like that IQ test DK or something.

So IQ 120 and just an infantry man in the Armed forces, planning to go airborne.

lol. I've never taken an IQ test personally. I feel That intelligence can be just as harmful as it is helpful...both psychologically and emotionally (if those concepts do in fact differ..). My motto is "loose lips sink ships". My thoughts and feelings operate independently of one another, and though some call me intelligent I feel awkward and unsure of what to say when they do so. I know how to get through a class, and sometimes I get mildly obsessed with ones I'm interested in....but everyone has strong and weak points as far as knowledge goes and I think it's good for all students to keep that in mind.

I just wrote a wall-o-text about my IQ test story, clicked post, and then the intarnets ate it. so here's the tl;dr version.

Tested at 203 as child. Not told until much later what I scored. Never had to try hard in school, so unprepared for real challenges in life. Failing pretty hard at present. Brother tested at 207, but he's doing great.

Conclusion: high IQ can suggest higher ability to achieve, but it is not a guaranteed range of excellence.

srs response.

IQ tests are pretty much useless for anything above 130 or so. You can take nearly identical tests and get a 140 the first time and a 175 the next.

So I've tested between 150 and 190 most times. But I think it's pretty much bullshit. Regardless, if you want to know how I see the world, it is shit.

I have a Ph.D and am a professor at a small college, and I like my job. Finishing my ph.D was a pain in the ass because I have such attention problems that even max dosages of Ritalin don't work. Nearly everyone I know with intelligence like mine has the same problem, it;'s impossible to stop analyzing everything we observe.

I love my area of research but find it almost impossible to develop the pat solutions academia demands because I see nuances that complicate any such pat answers.

In short, having a high IQ has enabled me to achieve a decent living but it's a huge barrier to being, well, happy. I've been close to engaged several times but talked myself out of being married because I kept finding reasons why it might make me miserable to spend an entire life with them.

I'm only 27 and so there's plenty of life left but really, I'd give a good 50 points of IQ to have a brain that worked in more conventional ways that let me complete tasks without finding flaws in the methodology or (most recently) raging constantly about politics and lies in political ads.

Look, I've been to literally dozens of psychologists and shrinks, all are slightly helpful but the general conclusion is I'm lucky not to be schizophrenic.

Which is funny, because my grandfather WAS schizophrenic so I'm probably going to end up that way anyway.

I'd even deal with my impending schizo if I could function on occasion like John Nash, but

no. The biggest frustration really is that I get these brief glimpses of really big things but they're gone in five seconds, long before I can jot anything down or record my thoughts.

It's not so much seing the world differently, I mean I don't think I do in any particular. There is however a sort of paralysis risk since you do see more of the world at any given time, AND process what you see, AND abstract what you see, AND generate conclusions, AND process the new concepts thus generated, et cetera... All terribly dangerous if you rack disciprine!

>>	Anonymous Sun Aug 22 17:08:24 2010 No.1637747 What about EQ ? Aren't our emotions make us see the world differently ? IQ would help us solve problems easier, but it has to get some certain amound of input before it can work. IQ without education is worthless.
