150 IQ is not genius tier.

>>12813982
Mine is 144 and it hurts sometimes, usually nice tho

>>12813982
i have an iq of 156 and life is constant suffering

212 here. That's the point it starts getting better.

>>12813982
I have a 90 iq but have my own company. all of the egghead engineers that work for me are really smart, so whenever I have a problem, I just tell them to solve it. then I get in my BMW and go home to my mansion.

I would be curious to hear from people with actual verified high IQs. Recently I bailed on a Mensa examination just because I’d rather not know... IQ doesn’t seem to imply success. Then again, this is 4chan, so no one here is successful at all.

>>12814021
357 here. It gets worse again

421. It finally gets better up here

>>12814036
Impossible, there hasn't been a verified 357 IQ since the finno-korean hyperwar. Don't tell me.. まさか!

>>12814032
i'm fulfilled spiritually, which is all i'm concerned with

Imagine how many big thinks you could of have made with a bigger iq number.

110+ is good enough I suppose. I'm no Elon Musk but I know I have a pretty good brain.

IQ 5 here

it's alright

>>12814085
IQ 6 here. Too dumb to wrestle with those great concepts of blocks and puzzles, but smart enough to see how the horizon of knowledge stretching out in front of me. True misery is found here, friend.

>>12813982
IQ tells you how good your are at getting stuff its not giving you any actual knowledge about the world. So when you are young having high af iq is great but after years fly by the most important thing is how you used it to pump your head with stuff.

>>12814128
How about we have a different kind of wrestle?

>>12814128
i feel you fren

I would suffer more and know more. The Chad DNA range is somewhat above average but not too high. That is what gives you the least chance of depression because you're smart enough to think your way out of problems but not so smart that you can see all of the problems around you.

I've increasingly been buying into the idea that having a high IQ is fundamentally maladaptive as it leads most people to kill themselves off without reproducing.

>>12814128
i want so bad to be fallen genius. But after all those years im just fallen

> IQ doesn’t seem to imply success.

Define success. IQ has an extremely high correlation with economic success. This is only going to get more true since we're in the midst of the industrial revolution on steroids where jobs are being eliminated at 4x the speed and almost all the jobs being eliminated are low-skill.

There's certain things that high IQ people consistently fail to do like form successful relationships and families though. Which you can also define as "success".

>>12814170
he probably meant ability of problem solving.
But as we can see high iq might correlate with being a fuckup

turbo cope

IQ can be wasted on stubbornness and resentment.

>>12813982
Sucks that all he got out of his supposedly high iq is a not very successful youtube channel.

>>12814183
How is it a cope when I'm one percentile above the norm?

More than that how is it a cope when it's absolutely true? High IQ people are self-eliminating. High IQ stresses you out and you use your intelligence to escape biological traps like reproduction which are proven to lower happiness on average. Fundamentally intelligence beyond a certain point is an evolutionary dead end.

I'm not coping I'm blackpilled. I go to work and I'm just smarter than my co-workers. I know I am. They know I am. I do more work with less effort. Yet they all pity me because I have the most fucked up life and fail at managing basic life skills. I pity myself.

I've started to become very cynical about intelligence and have swallowed the blackpill that intelligence is the ultimate cuck. Your brain doesn't benefit yourself. It benefits retards who will consume the fruits of your labour. This doesn't make you better than the retards. It makes you worse than them. /lit/ is just still filled with 18 year olds with their mensa memberships who have an unwarranted sense of self-importance and inflated opinions of theirselves.

>>12813982
it's probably horrible
i used to have an IQ of 130+ but it's probably like 110 now due to years of alcoholism

>>12813982
>he thinks IQ is a thing

mine was tested 150-160 in high school
I live at home with my mum. I am completing my degree after dropping out of law school last year.
I was working in retail for 6 months.

I am 24 and I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with my life. either acting or journalism.

>>12814323
>dude I’m just too smart to be happy
this is the cope. you’re a miserable loser independent of your IQ

U guys are pathetic. With a right mindset and 150+ IQ you could Become literally anything and yet you are crying because muh world is fucking absurd. And if somebody tells you that you are pathetic you respond with i Am far smarter than you leave me alone. Stop being a fucking baby.

>>12814783
AND BTw this i Am too smart to Ben happy thing was pushed in your throats by pop culture and yet with that brain you can’t see it

What's the value in being smart exactly? Having people not know the definition of a word and all turn around and look at you? Holy fuck I'm a walking dictionary goddamned my dick is hard.

High IQ people will probably eventually destroy the world in nuclear holocaust or biowarfare. They're subhumans really.

>120
I thought my way out of catatonic depression
Recently used drugs to help shed light on more mental blocks I had from trauma

>What's the value in being smart exactly?
Understanding the difference between knowledge and intelligence, for one. It helps you not make an ass of yourself. Unless that was your intent: if so, good one.

>>12814855
>Life good
Nice dubs, ur IQ I mean

>>12814864
Intelligence helps you gain more knowledge you fuckwit. It determines the speed at which you accumulate information. If intelligence did not result in knowledge then it wouldn't be so maladaptive.

IQ is completely meaningless, I know that because I have an IQ of 160 lol

>>12813982
128 IQ is comfiest IQ
Smart enough for almost any job and conversation while still having challenges, not smart enough to talk myself into suicide, depression, or isolation.
It's all you need. Anything above this is showing off. Like a ten inch dick- you bottom out at seven, those extra three inches are just vanity. They rarely ever even get wet.

>>12814876
That's not all it does. Maybe for glorified calculators, like you. But that's just the limit of your intelligence

>>12813982
I think it's just like leveling up - the problems scale with you.

>>12814393
Why would you rather choose these pursuits instead of putting your genius-level intelligence to use by trying to achieve something in a difficult field like math or philosophy? Don't you think there's something more noble in advancing human knowledge rather than becoming an entertainer? I'm not trying to be contentious, I'm just curious.

I think i'm like 130iq or something I passed high school no problem without studying once, Intelligence seems to manifest cynicism ,pessimism and intellectual arrogance. Now i'm out of school wagecucking so who really wins in the end?

lol @tits thread. Everyone is trying to troll each others.

>>12815041
If you were above 120, you wouldn't treat "pessimism" as synonymous with "cynicism."

>>12814902
unpopular opinion: depression and isolation are the signs of being non-intelligent

>>12815078
even less popular opinion: intelligence can't be gauged by looking at a person's mental health

12815059▶ I was just implying that more intelligent people have likely hood to be pessimistic, And cynicism because I think smart people with read into the actions other to much, but that's not always the case. not everyone is socially inept.

>>12815090
Well, it seems to be true. Mental illness can make one even more dumb, though.

You think Kurt Gödel (for example) was "non-intelligent"?

>>12815119
Nice cherry-picking.

>>12814946
Tower of babel

>>12815134
Giving an verifiable empirical example that contradicts your baseless generality is not "cherry picking." Cherry picking is akin to what you're doing when you only look at the stupid depressed people and offer them as representative of that whole segment of the population.

>>12814855
if its not applied to problems that are interesting, valuable then it's just a toy to pass the time and i tend to laugh at people like that, looking at them play with their nice toy and show off when in fact they look petty in a childish way and don't even realize it...

>>12815078
Yes, or overly intelligent.
