Was recommended to me after I told the story of my childhood, being smart yet nearly failing high school, being diagnosed with ADHD and autism as a little kid then having to get those diagnoses overturned after $10,000 and tons of psychological screening. IQ is measured at 137 by a professional. The book absolutely describes what I went through to a T. I now have the theory that high IQ people get slapped with learning disability diagnoses to keep them shut out of society on purpose.

First of all, there are no professionals who measure IQ. Or rather, people who call themselves professional psychologist may measure IQ, but IQ is still Snakeoil.
in reality, IQ was used to commit genocide on black Americans. So there is very much a curse of IQ, but the curse is the concept of IQ, not anyone who has a “IQ score.“
IQ is no longer used to commit genocide on blacks, But the legacy of legalized murder is the true curse that haunts IQ to this day. Until psychologists admit that they were a part of a legalized murder system, this IQ curse will remain.

The sole purpose of IQ testing is to detect retards. But you don’t even need it to detect them, retards can be easily detected. And it can be more or less correlated to your level of education but it says nothing about your intelligence. Educated people can be pretty stupid.

That’s because it was outlawed you completely seething leftcuck nigger worshipping Jew trusting sub nigger jewtard god damn fucking prolapsed retard raper.

IQ tests were outlawed in the US because liberalism became leftism and a feminized replacement for family. Leftists can’t form functioning families. Their maternal and paternal needs to care for weak children got hijacked and redirected towards the races and groups of people leftists view as weak, childlike and retarded. They didn’t want their precious dumb and brown retard people “children” to be rightfully discriminated against because of their inferior and brutally retarded sub nigger 82IQ’s.

Correct. Society does not reward people for being smart. Rather it rewards people for being sociable and scheming. At best smart people can aspire to becoming rich but never wealthy. Because generally smart people can see through the game and are a bit more sympathetic to the plight of humanity. And the powers that be cannot suffer a goody two shoes trying to upset the apple cart. So smart people more so than dullards, must be monitored and controlled.

What's funny is pretty much the entirety of 4chan buys into this. What do you think they're talking about when they talking about "normies"? The basic premise is that the nail which sticks out gets hammered and the outliers from the norm get filtered, by the social system, the education system, the work system and it just makes sense. There's a certain type of person who isn't going to find jumping through hoops to get the scholarship or the job or the promotion worth it. I don't know that all of those people are high IQ but I bet alot of high IQ people are like that.

That's a dumb theory but I do think that some children are developmentally anomalous and can be miscategorized by the educational system.

That's sort of what like what happened to me. I came from a poor broken home, my parents had kids right out of highschool and didn't know what they were doing, lots of bad shit happening in my upbringing. The education system just thought I was stupid because I didn't feel like anything was worth it as a kid because of how fucked up my life was .So I got put into remedial classes and sort of developed this identity that I was dumb which the school system produced in me.

It was only until later in highschool that I realized I was smart and began self-educating intensely, but by that time my grades were too mediocre and my fate in the eyes of the system was set in stone. I then had to sacrifice some of my better years to correct for the mistakes of the deeply dysfunctional classist educational system. Now I'm in a fairly good place and write books for fun so I feel like I triumphed over all of it.

IQ isn't real btw.

That's what I thought. Then I realised I'm a thoroughly average individual with little to no willpower, no particular skills or talents, and I'm generally indistinguishable from any other schmuck on the street. I did well at school because it was a contrlled environment and the only way to cope with not being exceptionally good at anything, or at least a well-adjusted person, was to delude myself that I was just "smart". Coupled with the typical coddling of my parents which is common in this generation, I completely bought this life about myself. The truth is, I'll never do anything important and go through a terribly unoriginal and mundane life filled with the expected failures and sadness, with some small moments of purely material joy sprinkled through. In fact, I doubt I'll even manage to live a "normal" life, and just spend my days on a desk and deriving some small satisfaction from collecting books, figures and other miscellaneous. That is my life.

I was in a similar situation. I failed or barely passed nearly every class from the 4th to the 12th grade. Graduated with a 1.7 gpa, bottom ten kids in the whole school. I despised school with every fiber of my being. Had a fine upbringing, good home life, wasn't poor, caring parents. I just found everything to be a waste of time. Teachers and my peers felt like idiots. 3 years after hs graduation I realized I needed a degree for the goal I wanted to pursue so I went to community college and had the highest GPA in the school. Transferred to an ivy league and graduated a year early sum com laude. I never once studied. I just actually did the work. I needed one read through the textbook or one listen of the lecture and everything was extremely easy. Still found the majority of my peers to be idiots.
Now I only graduated university, I'm not touting this as some great accomplishment. Only that the experience of struggling in normal schooling or literally being "too smart to be successful" can exist. People in the last few years have such a reactionary and bitter take when encountering this as if to dispell some memes that were cringe 10 years ago.

Did you even read the post or do you just want to continue shitflinging your reddit brain? I did become "successful" when I used my full potential, a potential that was stifled and attacked in formal schooling growing up. I do not like to jump through hoops(the one you attached your self worth to as an npc) if I know I do not need them. And encountering bad reactions to this as a kid and them being forced to engage in them effects development. Why the fuck do you expect children to suddenly have the experience of knowing how to deal with everything? Even intelligent children are confused with society and the procedures they are forced through, they don't yet have the life experience of seeing the bigger picture. All you feel is that everything is a waste of time, everything is slow, my teachers are idiots, and my peers are braindead. I would rather work on projects or read on my own. Why would I participate or value a system that puts you through this? If intelligent children supposedly already have the ability to jump right and start working why put them in education? Do you support the idea that they should be taken out and put into programs where they can pursue their own interests at their own pace?(no, not "gifted" classes, I mean something similar to college research).

Well, I was a gifted kid and everyone expected a lot of me. I never had to study or make any effort to excel, so I arrived at college without knowing how to study and, even worse, without any interest in doing anything with my life.

In the first semester of the first year I started skipping classes, reading whatever I wanted in the library. I passed half the exams, and I didn't bother with the rest because I knew I was going to fail. I dropped out after that semester, and now, twelve years later, I'm a chronically depressed NEET. I didn't study anything else and I haven't worked a single day in my life, and I don’t really care. I find everything so tiresome, I cut ties with all the friends and girlfriends I had besides one ex that insists in visiting me often, wants to come back together and etc. She's great and lovely, but I wish she stopped trying. She can do much better.

Anyway, they tested my IQ when I was a child and it was 144. I don’t know how useful those test are, but I think they're too focused in some parts of what can be considered intelligence and severy neglect others like emotional intelligence. I knew kids who were dumb as bricks and some of them lead way better (and successful) lives than mine, which I admit isn't hard. I don’t envy them, I rather die than lead one of these lives (married with children, working a lot...) but I guess at the end of the day they achieve to be somewhat ok with that, and that, that is something I would love to feel.

>>alienation due to realizing dark truths of the world faster than average and overthinking social situations and peoples intentions
No, you're alienated because you were not or refused to socialize well enough. Your intelligence is an excuse.

>>susceptible to paranoia and schizophrenia thanks to being able to imagine clear connections where there are none in reality.
That is not how those mental illnesses work, you are not the Joker.

>>heightened sense of ego from people around you telling you you're so intelligent being unable to realize that the trait is mostly arbitrary since the world around you thinks for you and doesn't let you have control
Your inability to engage with the world does not imply no free agency on your part, this is because of the actions (or lack of) you made, not the circumstances you were born in to. Your ego too is you own making, stemming from entitlement, no different to the poor and minories.

>>endless frustration from being bogged down by the world around you
As above, you're bogged down by your own choices. Your failure to pair thought with action is your fault alone.

>>obsession with detail because you can't get shit out of your head
That is not a symtom of higher intelligence but lower middling intelligence.

>>heightened anxiety from being able to play out negative situations in your mind too easily
Poor socialization and engagement that grew crippling as you aged

>>analysis paralysis. thinking of doing things but never do them because you haven't considered every possible variable thoroughly enough, slowing you down to a halt in life
This too is not unique to the highly intelligent, it is common in the underdeveloped.

>>depression from realizing that there's no way to connect to people stupider than you and you have nobody to aspire towards except your ideal self which just takes you farther away from the general populace.
Your depression is the result of your poorly informed choices, not the inevitable result of percieved high level intelligence

>>attracted to dark corners like 4chan because the anonymous nature promotes a self aware, and self reliant attitude with a dark sense of humor, something intellectuals in their loneliness and truth seeking adapt to early on. giving you a sense of belonging in a place that definitely has no future or values
An anonymous forum where nothing you say or do has any impact on your life is a safer space. An enjoyable one albeit one of no meaning beyond your needed self-validation.

The problem with IQ is what is called ecological validity. It's a common problem in psychometrics. It's the question of whether the data taken from an experiment is sufficiently representative of the variables in a natural context or whether they are simply just representative of the contrived setting in which they were measured. In the case of IQ, all it does is measure someone's ability to take a test. Nothing else. Intelligence does not normally express itself through test taking. Also, it does not measure creativity or originality or other possible dimensions of intelligence.

Nigger, I'm only replying to the posts that replied to mine. It's an anonymous imageboard, fuck if I know who every anon is. You'd know that if you weren't obsessed with proving how much of a newfag you're not by calling everything reddit, and would've been accustomed to a forum without usernames.
>I did become "successful" when I used my full potential, a potential that was stifled and attacked in formal schooling growing up. I do not like to jump through hoops
Look here you absolute retard, I don't care what you "like". The system is what it is and everyone leans to deal with it. But somehow all of you GigaBrains who never do anything substantial, are always "bothered" by it and always have an excuse for being failures. You're not a GigaBrain, you were a lazy fuck who then started to do what everyone else did and stopped being a failure. Nobody likes school, nobody finds it useful no matter where you're from. But it's always your kind that cannot cope with it, but instead of admit that you lack a spine and work ethic, you're just "tortured geniuses".
>You have to be a teenager, there is no other explanation for this retardation
Cunt, I have no idea what you want to do with your life or who you are. Surely, if you were such a GigaGenius who couldn't be arsed to do well in school and move up in society, especially since it would've been effortless for a GigaBrain like you, you would have had /some/ dream project that nobody else could think of or bring to life. Isn't that the point of being oh, so much smarter? I don't know if your passion was Math or Physics, but if your mind was so far ahead of everyone's, surely you had something brilliant hidden there.
>Your a young midwit who based their self worth on grades, and the idea of some actually intelligent people existing outside of it or disregarding it, enrages you.
You are making assumptions and falling in your own traps. Nobody defines their self-worth by such things. They are metrics and checkpoints of how far along you are. I'm not enraged, I'm laughing at you and your delusions. School is a metric of how well you can function in that setting and have a set work ethic. College is about how much of a kiss-ass or sociable you are, and whether you can follow a program. What you do after them "defines" (you) as a person. People however use your progress there as a way to gauge your character and abillity to function in society as it is. It's not perfect. It's now how you'd like it to be. But you have to deal with that exact society, and its institutions, that you find.

Anon, you're literally lying to yourself and creating imaginary enemies with imaginary arguments to cope with your situation. Go and do something. Put that "GigaBrain" to use. If you achieve something, you'll prove me, the system, everyone, wrong. Until then, you're acting like a redditnigger.

“IQ” is a stale test meant to measure mental capacity but in fact mostly measures extreme unintelligence (learning difficulties), as well as, to a lesser extent (with a lot of noise), a form of intelligence, stripped of 2nd order effects — how good someone is at taking some type of exams designed by unsophisticated nerds. It is via negativa not via positiva. Designed for learning disabilities, and given that it is not too needed there (see argument further down), it ends up selecting for exam-takers, paper shufflers, obedient IYIs (intellectuals yet idiots), ill adapted for “real life”. (The fact that it correlates with general incompetence makes the overall correlation look high, even when it is random, see Figures 1 and 2.) The concept is poorly thought out mathematically by the field (commits a severe flaw in correlation under fat tails and asymmetries; fails to properly deal with dimensionality; treats the mind as an instrument not a complex system), and seems to be promoted by

Racists/eugenists, people bent on showing that some populations have inferior mental abilities based on IQ test=intelligence; those have been upset with me for suddenly robbing them of a “scientific” tool, as evidenced by the bitter reactions to the initial post on twitter/smear campaigns by such mountebanks as Charles Murray. (Something observed by the great Karl Popper, psychologists have a tendency to pathologize people who bust them by tagging them with some type of disorder, or personality flaw such as “childish” , “narcissist”, “egomaniac”, or something similar). Note the online magazine Quillette seems to be a cover for a sinister eugenics program (with tendencies I’ve called “neo-Nazi” under the cover of “free thought”.) Note I am finding statistical flaws in Richard Plomin’s work — the pope of twin studies (see intransitivity of correlation in my technical addendum; he doesn’t get it).

Waste of potential does not imply great stores of it, simply the scant amount you did have, you wasted.

I was a "smart" kid and I still got all A's in school because I wasn't a lazy piece of shit and put in a modicum of effort into studying. Honestly, anybody that thinks they are "smart" is automatically a midwit. Not to say that thinking that you actually ARE a midwit makes you smart, but what makes someone smart is a humble willingless to learn as much as they can. IQ is just a spook for lazy people to feel successful even though they haven't done shit with their lives.

Using the argument that something is racist in 2021 is like using a national security-based argument in the oughts. Automatic suspicion of ideological pretense should be aroused; the idea that you're deflecting away from the core of what is being discussed should be entertained.

IQ/g is a valid psychometric used to measure a given person's ability to handle complex and/or novel tasks. It doesn't mean you won't buy into an ideology, it doesn't mean you'll behave wisely, and it doesn't mean you're a better human being than someone who scores lower. It doesn't mean you'll be a talented writer, it doesn't mean you'll paint better pictures, and it doesn't mean your insights will be deeper than those of others.

Being born with a high IQ is like being born good-looking. You're going to get by a little easier but, if that's all there is to your personality and/or character, you're probably going to suck to be around by the time you're in your 30s.

I have seen it with my own eyes. My best friend in HS was a math continental champion and national chess champion at age 13. He left school the next year. He was kinda chad in his own autistic way, hit a few teachers and threatened to kill some female classmates.
I was also good at math, ranked nationally and won a few prizes but he was at a completely different level, literally genius tier.
I have enough anecdotes of him to write a book, but to put it simple: he never had a job, never finished school, and spends all his days inside his room with his PC and a music studio he built himself alone. Tragic.

"Ye shall know them by their fruits". Did the great poets have the highest IQs? Did Napoleon define an age based upon school work? Did Christ say from the cross "Ok so if x individual can be shown to have y% higher performance on a standardized grading scheme he can get into heaven". IQ will be dust, tests will be dust, grades will be dust. Man's spirit is not measured in number - you are a slave, who complains that yesteryear's measuring system produces a better result for your ego than today's - who cares for either if they can speak of anything else.

The anon you're responding to is right. You're dishonestly ignoring the huge part of the population that does gauge someone's value and intelligence from the arbitrary hoops of what he calls formal schooling. Any interaction with the midwit managerial class that ironically administrates many educational institutions makes this abundantly clear. You restate his argument against the modern education simulacrum except you project gigabrain arrogance on to him and miss the clear is/ought distinction. No amount of avatarfagging or saying 'just deal with it' changes the underlying truth of the matter, the problem can never be solved if we don't think of a better way to deal with it.
