SAT isn't a sign of anything. It can indicate intelligence but it isn't proof of it. Even blacks can get a perfect SAT score. The fact that you view it as a valid metric is proof that you're a midwit. Probably a neurotic midwit at that given that you put probably put a lot of time and preparation into it.

>>13476888

Thank you anon

>>13476887

I took it out of 2400 but if you remove the writing component then I scored like 1580.

>>13476908
Its better than and more standardized than online iq tests though, and almost everyone has taken the SAT. I’m tired of online iq test LARPers

>>13476933
>online iq tests
Those were never valid in the first place. The fact that you thought they remotely indicated anything is even more proof that you are a midwit.

These tests are no indication of your actual iq. I got a result that said my iq was somewhere between 121 and 137 and I'm retarded.

i thought you were slighty above average with a iq between 110 and 120.

iq doesn't measure anything except your performance on iq tests
"like racing on a race track and using that to gauge performance on off-road uneven terrain"
for sub 90 IQ people, their IQ quite accurately predicts their uselessness
but above say 110 IQ, there is no correlation between IQ and life outcome

Why do you say completely untrue shit, if you researched this stuff for like 5 minutes you'd know that the correlation between IQ and life outcomes is far more robust than what you're saying. There are domains where the average IQ of the people employed is like 150. There is also a clear correlation with wealth up to about 130.

We have no SAT, but in Finland we have a matriculation exam where the best grade is Laudatur, the Eximia and so on. Only 5% receive a Laudatur in a given subject, and most only do four subjects in total. Me? I had 8 laudaturs and 2 eximias.

Not sure how accurate IQ or SAT test results would be for people here as a statistic considering the sleep deprivation, depression, and anxiety/test anxiety rates. Those factors can be truly damning to your cognition, of course the administrator is there to rule that out, but mine just asked after to report, alongside the number, those factors as a confounding variable.

Mostly said by radical leftists. I'd say that the far right tend to be more either full-blown morons rather than midwits, while liberals and the far left has way more midwits. Midwits are far more infuriating, since they tend to know much less than they think.
