To all the people who say they have an iq of 150+ on this board: you don't.

You think you're gods gift to the Earth, yet you spend your time shitposting on 4chan while living with your parents/being a NEET instead of doing anything productive.

Calling other people brainlets and mindlessly reciting facts you found off wikipedia aren't the motions of a genius.

No matter how smart you may think you are, the world will never suck up to you as much as you will.

Stop.

Not all geniuses were good in school (Einstein), obeyed the authority (Planck), studied science at first (de Broglie)..

I generally agree with every word youve written but im a NEET myself and i tell you, we live in confusing times which can easily make the genius go crazy and drop out of the system. I am only now choosing the path of STEM to further my interests and do any good but it took me a lot of self loathing, drowning in misery and failed decisions to get here

I took it was when I was in first grade, because teacher though I belonged in gifted program. My school had me skip a grade because of my IQ and how I was in the classroom. Everyone else in my family are very blue collar (coal-miners, fireman, etc.).

I don't know details for my IQ score, just know the score because I overheard my mom talking to doctor once. I assume it has to be Stanford-Binnet, given how young I was when I took it.

there you go. heratibility of IQ likely took its toll on you. For ages <9, IQ has low correlation with adolescent or adult IQ (r=0.23 according to literature)

I was the same way, actually. Took an IQ test in 3rd grade (plus the RAVEN for more data) and was placed in a gifted and talented program since I was in the 99.3rd percentile, or so. Fast forward to 19 to where I take an IQ test (WAIS): score is 113. I'm 23, now. I wondered for years and years why I was such an underachiever.

Maybe you got lucky and your IQ didn't drop too much. Who knows? This is why I am vehemently against people taking IQ tests until they're 17 or so. It just sets them up for failure, like me.

I'm not an underachiever though. I'm one of the best physics students at a top-tier Ivy League university. I've had several professors tell me outside of class that I'm one of their best students they ever have in both humanities (more so) and science.

I was more curious to hear what you think someone with tested IQ of 142 is capable of compared to 150, which you said can become millionaire in a year. So your thoughts on this anon?

I do somewhat relate to what you mean by intelligence dropoff. When I was really undergoing changes from puberty, I did find myself struggling more cognitively and I think sexual thought is to blame for that partially too. i used to have extremely good memory, people thought I had photographic as a kid, and I began to lose that as a kid. However, over last 6 months, my memory is returning to what it was like when I was a kid. Also, in these last six months, I have EXTREMELY vivid dreams every night (multiple) and this happens even when I nap for 15-20 minutes too. Can anyone explain this, especially the dreaming?

I wish I could ban all talk of IQ from this board. Worrying/caring about IQ is the most pointless shit in the world. People let some fucking number stop them from trying to learn about the beautiful and infinite complexity of our reality because they're "not smart enough" instead of possibly pursuing something that could be interesting to them.

On top if the fact intelligence is relative and even as a moron you belong to the most intelligent species on the planet. We stand on the shoulders of giants and people are worried about how far they'll see instead of marveling at the sight.

>>9810024
I think it's extremely important for genetic trash and untalented people to learn their deficiencies sooner instead of painstakingly trying to justify every failure you've ever experienced as something of your own creation. I'm the 113 IQ guy, and if it were up to me, I'd ban all sub-125s from uni. It's just not worth the mental anguish.

even in schools that practice quota systems like harvard they have the largest quota by far, it's like 67%, and they're still blaming minorities for being unable to be in the top 67% of white people.
it took the national guard to force a school to let go of the "100% white" quota system.
the bitch Fisher who sued UT austin for muh white discrimination actually had mediocre grades. it turns out she was outscored by 180 minorities who were also rejected. and 50 whites with worse grades than her got in. clear anti-white discrimination though.
