You'll get there. I think the average IQ on this board is probably more around 135. Those are the shit posters. There's quite a few people with 150+ IQ though.
The main thing these smart people have on you though is years of study and experience. But I do figure a lot of people here are "gifted" and arrogant high school students.

Here's one thing you should know: there isn't that big of a difference between a person with an IQ of 130 and one with an IQ of 105. Only above 150 does it really start to matter.

I have the same feeling as you bro. I'm around 120 (if not a little less) and I few like near genius around people irl only to come here and feel like a brainlet. I hope (and think) most of those "high" IQ people are just trolling though.

In case anyone is taking this seriously, this part is bullshit. This is the range across which most of the correlation between success and IQ can be observed. 120-140 is where most mundane leadership and technical roles in society fit. You'll probably trigger a lot of 130-140 brainlets though.

Most people in this thread, like a popular chart that circulates regularly with a board-by-IQ bar graph, are overestimating the board's actual IQ. It is true that very smart people post here; grads students, etc (which does much to raise the average), but the place is also swamped by t he usual kids, shitposters etc.

the actual average IQ of the board is inevitably closer to the 110-120 range, just on this observation alone.

The posts in this thread alone should prove to you that not every one (indeed, hardly anyone) on this board is clever. Much less do they have an IQ of 150+ lmao. I've never understood why people think /sci/tards are smart? Just because you see a maths thread pop up every now and then doesn't mean they are all geniuses, especially since the maths isn't very difficult to begin with. Also, lots of people come to this board from other boards like /b/, so there's that...

Bear in mind: most threads involving complex maths and science are usually started by college graduates in those fields - it should be trivial to them, but obviously neuroscience isn't something most people know a whole lot about - so don't feel bad at all.

The highest average IQ per major is 130 for Maths and Physics. Since there are lots of engineers and other scum on /sci/ I'd say 120 would be a better estimate.

What is the required IQ for not being a brainlet?

>> No.8726460

Average poster here obviously has some interest in science & math, those are either people whose job involve that or is just interested. Either way the average IQ of this board is probably higher than most other boards, so it might seem posters of this board are smart but the reality is other boards are just retarded.

now about the actual IQ of this board, I estimate it to be around 120, not crazy high but fairly common. IQ and success might have a correlation but that doesn't mean all IQ tests are equally reliable. Anyone claiming to have above 140 is probably just shitposting.
