Post your IQ, /sci/, and discuss the very obvious correlation between high IQs and success in intellectual pursuits. 133 here; I see stupid people.

kek, 143 here and it doesn't really make you a genius. 160+ does. I would say 130+ makes you capable of being an actual human being. 120+ are people who have a chance if they keep their mouths shut and listen to smarter people. every below that should be euthanized.

140, according to a few. I don't trust IQ tests though, so I'd range from 120-140. I'm currently studying astronomy, I've participated in NASA competitions and was on a team that developed an experiment for the ISS that won 2nd place in one of the categories, meaning NASA would consider the experiment. I also built a small EMP in seventh grade, but that's fairly easy to do.

I wouldn't be able to do it. Not due to lack of intelligence but due to my severe depression. I can concentrate and study for maybe one day and then get best grades in an exam, but continuous independent work over a long time is impossible when you're constantly focusing on the fact that you're suffering and want to die.

>once you have money to do stuff, you'll cheer the fuck up.
Unless you're born rich, you're fucked. Whether you get 20.000 or 100.000 per year - it doesn't make enough of a difference to give you a better life. You'll never be a billionaire unless you were born into an already rich family.

I'm not in university for the degree. I'm there for studying. Studying is the only thing I was ever good at. But unfortunately they'll inevitably force me to finish my degree. And then I have nothing anymore in my life.

The more you do stuff, the less you are going to want to kill yourself. If you are more intelligent, then you may need more mental stimulation than most people. I'm speaking from experience, too, I used to stay in my room all day every day, and I was stlll not introspective enough to realise that that was why I was going MAD.

You may not enjoy doing stuff at first, but it will eventually affect your mood. Engage your senses, do more than just think and study. This need for stimulation in the intelligent could be the reason why intelligence doesn't appear to give us a significant evolutionary advantage.

One thing happy intelligent people have in common, is motivation to do things and to work hard, even endlessly.

I'm somewhere between 110 and 125. I obtained a useful bachelor's degree, with mediocre results. To my excuse I barely cared for the degree, was depressed and fucking hated the people at school to the point that I avoided going to lectures. Well, I guess I'll always be mediocre, but I'm sure I have the potential for completing a master's degree of some worth.

>We construct hypothesis
Then, I'm mistaken. I thought hypothesis were meant to be tried and manipulated so it can fit the facts. But unfortunately, the IQ experiments main focus is on a social scale.

So it's actual fundaments are reduced by the "statistic" and "occam's razor" irreal tools. In other words: Pseudoscience.

Actual physics have been studied for centuries and it's factors have been revised by thousands and thousands of scientists.

However, social factors are a conclusion of two main unespecified factors: the individual and the interrelationships.

The "induction" method can actually categorize species and subjects so people can be studied, nevertheless the human being has a more complex behavior than reptiles and plants.

Let's look at this with this example: If we jump to conclusions and use them "hypothetically" without questioning them, we will end up with the same spontaneous generation "theory".

The social "sciences" will never find out what's the human patron behaviors, or if actual behaviors are a result of a prime fenomena happening in the brain.

Wrong. IQ is a factual measurement of a person's aptitude to take a specific test in specific conditions. It is from that, among other facts, that theories can be constructed.

>factual
It doesn't explain shit about its reation with intelligence. They can't even explain "that" intelligence.

> It is from that, among other facts, that theories can be constructed.
Social and psychology theories still can't explain determinated behaviors, so its actual explanation is a made up statistical interpretation of a more complex algorithm system.

Its use can be tolerated by the utility they have, however the validity is obviously detached by the real sciences. IQ don't even have an actual usefulness except maybe the bussiness employee filtering.

Which is still pseudoscience. Sorry.

[Anonymous No.8386294]

Have you guys taken some official tests to find out your IQ? I've only done some online tests in the past and usually score something like 120-125. I'm currently on my fourth year studying mathematics at university so at least that matches pretty well with OP's definitions.

Intelligence is the ability to hastily aquire, or use knowledge or skills. IQ is, and will remain, a very good, though not infallible, measurement of a person's intelligence. Few claim it to be anything but a good indicator.

I would reword my last post actually. If you score 100 on an IQ test, the fact is that you scored 100 on that specific test. You can then, from that, conclude that probably, theoretically, you are of average intelligence. This is not pseudoscience, this is theory.

It's not a meme. The "no hard work" life is the meme.

Every successful man has been through shit. I'm not a Trumplet, but he is a great example of a successful man: He has failed many times and broke a lot. But the mentality he built as he grew up, had made it possible to be a candidate of the presidential elections.

>>8386313
>it's theory
Theories are proven laws interpretated and coexplained.
Laws are proven hypothesis which predictions determinate the experiment results.
Hypothesis are not-proven ideas.

IQ can make up an intelligence definition. But can't demonstrate the intelligence source. Can't prove its behavior. So it can't practically explain what is intelligence.

Which makes IQ "studies" pseudoscience.

Well, on the website they say that the result given by the online test is just an approximation and in order to get an accurate score you have to do the real test. However, the real test costs 40€ so it's pretty obvious that they're saying stuff like this so that more people would give them money.
>Aren't they literally copies of real tests?
If this is the case then I guess I can be happy with my score.

[Anonymous No.8386382]

>>8386364
Well it's mensa, so that score is at least a very good ballpark estimate. You might get a slightly different score if you were to take a test on a full stomach, or on paper in supervised conditions.

Only thing it's good for though is as a motivator for success and bragging like a brainlet who thinks he just proved he isn't retarded.
