Discussion Do you know your IQ?

[GGWP]

As someone with a WAIS IQ of 82 I've always been curious as to whether IQ can be used to predict behavior patterns, especially on forums like these. My limited verbal inference underscores a far lower spatial and mathematical intelligence. Don't even get me started on memory and processing speed. I was reading Paul Coojiman's blog recently and he claimed that only people with an IQ of over 100 are able to learn from written materials, and that learning, inference, research and extended prose require an IQ in the 100-130s. So-called 'rational communication', according to him, would require an IQ of 140+

It got me wondering, because there are vast swathes of people that do not interact with the internet in an active, niche-forming way. The types that tend to form communities like this, I would imagine, are predisposed to greater written fluency than the average. If you cannot write or read to a certain quality in these niches, you would probably not derive enjoyment from them.

I was wondering if these spaces are home to people who tend to have above average intelligence. Here are some good IQ tests online that I've discovered:

Of course, things like emotional intelligence and perseverance tend to have a far greater impact than IQ, a metric that often improves with adequate diet and education. More importantly, in many studies, higher emotional intelligence is correlated with greater life satisfaction: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8620060/

In my opinion IQ means little, because every organism is adapted to their environment. IQ only represents a specific set of adaptations that just so happen to be relevant to this thin slice of time, but will not always be. Even though my IQ is only 82, the verdict is still open whether others on this forum are more intelligent than me...

talent is much more valuable as in aptitude for learning a particular skill and enjoying doing it

i fall under 130 right now, 115-120

 

[ijustwishtobehappy]

Yeah. I have done an iq test before in school.

 

[steve the chad]

@GGWP Speaking of which, I've been testing a method to increase IQ. I created some files with the gpt-gemini chat and my own conclusions, mixing reverse engineering + open source university + Newton's style of STEM study. Don't forget language.
This not only unlocks abstract and systemic IQ, but also semantics, if applied well. The reason people like Newton dont exist today is mainly due to the internet + normie curriculum. Newton literally built Calculus as a construction system after reverse engineering. What really made the change was thinking like an academic instead of a student. Any ideas?
(Trouble in math? Check primary sources, the creator way of training, apply Jung methods etc.)

My pattern seens to be system IQ building, like my whitepill philosophy and even in writing.

What is emotional intelligence to you?

I've been trying to discover by myself what this terms means, and if I had to say it very simply, it is being able to reduce psychological suffering.

IQ is only one aspect of the greater picture. Creativity, inner drive, mental health, social IQ, etc are all major aspects required but at varying degrees. Certain aspects continue to increase as you age until one hits a plateau in everything then slowly fades. Now the longevity aspect is imperative here. Qigong, Whim Hof, Semen retention, sexual transmutation, detoxification, whole foods organic mostly raw(natural) diet.

@steve the chad @newsincerity I have the impression you fell for a false dichotomy, I mean, when we say IQ, we usually mean intelligence, and pointing out that willpower, emotional control, patience and motivation "are all part of the big picture" as if they are separate from IQ (read: as if they are separate from intelligence) is missing the mark to me

 

[Foidkiller]

Personally, I'm not taking an IQ test because I think it would brutalize me, I would honestly be absolutely devastaded if I got like 120-129. It just sounds like getting sentenced to a permanent banishment to midwit hell for the rest of your life. And this is where I think my range lies, since I took an online test when I was younger in middle school, and I got around that (accounting for age as it claimed)
119 would be a chill, cool, IQ number to have, I would own with zero reservations about that
130+ would also be great, but unfortunately, I straight up doubt I have it, which makes me sad.

I see it more from perspective of maintanance
high IQ=high maintanance=needs a lot of support from sophisticated structures in society to be able to bloom, needs motivation do to stuff, needs things to keep him occupied and not be depressed etc.

learns something and keeps doing it out of enjoyment=low maintanance=doesn't need much support can probably learn on his own, doesn't need to be motivated etc.

maybe im falling for stereotypes

 

[Foidkiller]

yeah, sounds like it, the entire point of being intelligent is you much easier find ways to cope with your situation and doing other things like this, motivating yourself to do the things you want to do, basically intelligence is by every definition a boon

other things would include: finding meaning in a 'purposeless' world, overcoming or accepting nihilism, realizing atheism and evolution, etcetera

 

[newsincerity]

yeah, sounds like it, the entire point of being intelligent is you much easier find ways to cope with your situation and doing other things like this, motivating yourself to do the things you want to do, basically intelligence is by every definition a boon

why do you think there is correlation between IQ and psychological and sometimes social problems like depression and not getting laid tho

Intelligence is applied planning, nothing else, pure execution in the end as one forum member said before, we can all seen like genius here because its just too shallow, one must finds his intelligence type potential and absolute crush before 25-30, thats why i dont care about scoring 115-120 range, sleep, dopamine, cortisol etc all affects, already built my iqmaxxing plan as i laid out plus iqmaxxing supplements, at 25 will post my full whitepill framework and a test proving my iq reached 130+, memory iq is 120, so can be 135 by 25-30, the rest will peak at 130-140 probably, depends on my genetics, got italian+polish+mild black(the truth gatekeeper)

 

[Foidkiller]

why do you think there is correlation between intelligence and psychological and sometimes social problems like depression and not getting laid tho

high IQ people do not talk to women because they are high IQ, and depression is way more likely to be caused by you lacking creativity and not knowing what to do with your life, than being on some 'suffering from success', even a moderately intelligent NEET is more occupied with vidya and anime I believe, than a suffering retard who keeps getting addicted to drugs, wastes his life on the only things that provide him stimulation such as league of legends, gambling and short form videos and stuff like this

This study mentions inflammation in high iq, this actually makes sense and push a plant based diet and vit C therapy. (Inflammation lower iq as i explained earlier, another evidence on how to improve iq and throw away carnivore diet)

Yes, Sv3rige literally says this, being 'strong' is no more than another word for saying you are smart

Mogs me. I have the IQ of an Aboriginal who has huffed on petroleum byproducts his entire life to achieve "muhh Dreamtime muhh Rainbow Serpent" and who also lives in a shed in the outback, on the outskirts of Alice Springs, and enjoys a few cold ones every day and by a few, I mean bare minimum seven or eight. The Aboriginal I'm talking about also has to rely on gibs to fuel his alcoholism and will eventually die of Alzheimer's due to the excessive alcohol usage.
I'm at the Alzheimer's stage.
I am the Aboriginal man.
Flubba wubba! Always was, always will be!

I did an IQ test in January & scored 100 which is average for my race.

 

[VioletBlast]

average for my race.

 

[OgreLTN]

You having an iq of 84 is a joke, right?
