dear people of /sci/
wennever i see a thread where one is asked to post his or here IQ i always see IQ´s of astronomical proportions i my self have a modest IQ of only a 118.

now i was wondering if you yourself have ever lied about your IQ here on /sci/ if yes what is your real IQ
or if you are in the conviction of having such an high IQ where did you have it tested

it is time to come clean

>> No.3490922

i never took the iq test because it doesn't mean shit

>> No.3490934

your comment made no sense

if you never took it, its becuase it MEANS shit, not "doesnt mean"

>> No.3490968

IQ doesn't mean shit, ive taken several different IQ tests with scores ranging wildly from 107 to 138.
thats far too much spread to be accurate IMO.
apparently an 'official' IQ test ranked me at exactly 130, but its probably only slightly more meaningful than the other IQ tests.

besides, having a high IQ says nothing about whether someone will be good at practically applying their knowledge, and says nothing about their memory skills or reading capability or anything else for that matter, its just a huge collection of aspie puzzle solving, and seeing as IQ can be increased by repeatedly doing the tests allowing you to practise and get better at them, it isn't an inate static thing that is unique to the person, it is free to vary, which pretty much shows how meaningless IQ tests are.

if asked, i usually say 130, seeing as thats the 'official' one.

No point in lying about IQ, it's not important enough.

My IQ is 130 average across the various tests I've taken. Low end is about 125 an high end is about 133

quite a narrow spread of results, considering how flimsy IQ tests tend to be. how many did you take?

personally i am happy to meet smarter people than me
in school kids always acted like i was a genius or something but i always felt average
so when i meet people who are more intelligent than me i do so humbly and respectfully

I would totally fuck one of them, if they were only a little bit more furry and if they weren't amphibians.

uh.

if one is only "official", why bother mentioning the other ones?

if the other ones weren't "official" then they don't matter, and it would explain the varied scores.

people who browse /sci/ are a self-selected population and not a properly randomized group of individuals.

on a message board that brags about IQ, it would be unlikely for the average /sci/ browser to have a 100 IQ, let alone admit to it.

Shit isn't a negative. It's a flexible obscenity, capable of indicating either the presence of quality and meaning or a lack thereof, depending on the context.

uhh... can you leave? Seriously, I didn't think anyone over the age of 12 still thought those online IQ tests were even remotely real. You bragging about your IQ and forcing your self worth onto others really doesn't do anything for you because we are all anonymous.

I had a friend whose IQ was 143, tested at birth. Everyone was his friend, he didn't need to tell me his IQ for me to tell he was a genius. Like you don't need to tell me your IQ for me to know you're as average as you can get.

>> No.3491400

I took one when I was 14... got a 136

Read something that says IQ contributes about a fourth to the degree of success you'll see in your life... other contributing factors include socioeconomic background etc etc

you're making the fallacy of assuming "shit" is a negative.

the colloquialism "doesn't mean shit" is accepted as the person saying "X is so worthless in meaning is a categorized beneath shit".

a double negative would be "doesn't know nothing", which when accepted literally implies the person described knows "something".

the word "shit" in this context is defined as "something of little value".

So, by saying he "doesn't mean shit", you're saying that the subject is below insignificance.

If you're going to wax intellectual online, at least realize that language is only as concrete as the majority acceptance of definitions, and that colloquialisms exist.

In this thread: Pretending faggots, who thinks they're better than anyone else because of their seemingly high IQ's. Fyi, Plato said that in a perfect society, everyone knows their role and is happy with it. So, in those terms, you, with your high IQ and shit, is just as important as another Janitor.

I seriously hope you are playing

My IQ is 147. I've lied and said it was 152 before just for the over 150 factor.
You aks where I had it tested. Does location matter. It was an actual IQ and was very long. It was used as a placement test.

>> No.3491490

The only IQ test I took was when I was baked out of my mind and I got a 117.
To compensate for my pot brain mistakes I say it's about 125 because I believe I'm smart lol
