the mean 15-point Black–White IQ difference in the US is about 80% heritable and that the 30-point African/non-African IQ difference is about 50% heritable (much of the balance being attributable to cultural and nutritional differences). The evidence demonstrates that: (1) the mean IQ around the world is 106 for East Asians, 100 for Whites, 85 for US Blacks, and 70 for sub-Saharan Africans;

There was this one time when I took an Iq test and it said I had an iq of 118 or something like that but personally I think I have an iq of 6 or maybe 7

this inceltears fed thinks he's slick

Queen Belle @Queen Belle AWAY WITH HIM
I mean, it does feel like it’s about time I leave. I achieved all I wanted to do on this account and I feel like I have come to a point where socializing with the outside world would become natural in time. The one thing keeping me on here right now is boredom.
If I do get kicked out, I think I’ll be just fine. If not, I’ll just keep making weird ah posts or something and maybe update my journal.

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...
I'm likely at the retarded level, the reason for it due to trauma, and malnourishment, but one thing I noticed was that I was competitive, not blatant, but internally when I saw the other person read, I desired to read more or faster.

I was described by my aunt as a child who knew how to act, that I didn't need to be told, in a way I was aware of my surroundings.

Even though you claim to be low IQ your posts on teachings and moral rules are very valuable and insightful. In this case, I think you are smarter than you claim, even if you get a low number on some random test. In a lot of cases IQ only measures how much schooling you've had, not strict intelligence.

Maybe, the point is that one's ability and willingness to use their mind tell you something- I have a textbook on the history of psychology and the one section I remember reading was on IQ and Darwin's influence; to be specific Galton had found that some of his collogues did not have imagination or could tell you that if you did X would Y happen.

What I'm writing is, I've noticed within my mental makeup that I am more slow and impulsive, dogmatic and willfully ignorant, then adding to how I comprehend information is more passive then active. Sure I do well at some topics, but my overall performance is retarded, I would go so far as to say I've been Prussianized.

Around 130, midwit range. That's a very thoughtful take. In the end, how we connect with others and solve problems matters more than a test score. Could you link that blog post?
