Mildly Infuriating

People with actual higher scores don't need it to be explained, and people with lower scores don't want it to be explained.

Not to brag, but I'm in the top 100% of IQ scores.

I'm sorry to report that in order to see the results, you basically fail the IQ test:

It's a very dark pattern, they ask the $2 only after 40 minutes of questions and after getting your email for spam. Then they show that classic fake loading and fake elaborating screens. At that point you're exhausted and just pay

I remember doing the Mensa free test for shits and giggles in high school. Basically just gave you a "129+" estimated score and told you they couldnt "estimate higher" due to it not being a "complete test" and then wanted your to book an in-person IQ test for +100€. I just found it so funny how much snob copium Mensa is, like theres no way I have 129+ IQ. If I would care enough to find out i wouldnt pay 100€ either. At best IQ is an irrelevant metric at worst its used by terrible people who think IQ is an all-encompassing intelligence metric to boast about how allegedly smart they are.

Lol fantastic shitpost

Even better if it’s genuine

Shouldn't this be on the shitpost community??

How could It be more clear? It literally says in a room of 1000 you're smarter than 345.

The site didn't make clear that's not a good thing

Hahahahahaha ha, omg, the irony

That's comedic brilliance right there.

Also the actual "bell curve" is a lot more top heavy, and IQ is for peasants cosplaying as snobs.

Ignoring that IQ is a grift and a lie: Sitting within a standard deviation of average intelligence is NOT a bad thing. If intelligence really could be measured it would mean you're capable of doing anything about as well as anyone else.

IQ is, for the most part, a stupid measure. Or at least, it measures one specific thing, which is basically how quickly you can learn. That is to say, in theory, if you put someone with a 120 IQ and someone with an 80 IQ into a class, the first one should theoretically outperform the second if they put equal effort in.

I will say this frankly: I have a very high IQ - I was tested first when I was 6 and have been tested a couple of times since. I do have a learning disability - ADHD - and mine is severe, at that. So while I do generally pick up on things faster than some others on average, I certainly don't pick up on everything quickly. There are subjects I absolutely do not get. And furthermore, thanks to circumstances and the stupid ADHD, here I am at 50, neve having had steady jobs (I did work 5 years one place), in shitty health (six heart attacks, below-knee amputation, congestive heart failure, on dialysis because my kidneys failed), with my wife and I surviving because while we both had ADHD and struggled, she's been more consistent about keeping work, and definitely contributes more to the household budget.

So a high IQ basically means extremely little. You don't have to have IQ to find success in life, or even to be highly degreed and an intellectual. It just means that you probably have to work a bit more at it. That one specific aspect of life. And there are many many aspects of life.

IQ is just one factor of intelligence, and not even the most important one. And even so, 94 is only just below average, it's not so bad.

Here I just assumed all online IQ tests always vastly inflated the results to make their idiot users feel smart and hand over money for the certificate or whatever.

My IQ is so high, I don’t need to brag about it.

We had an IQ test as part of the performance review process in a company I worked in. It did not have any effect on the review, it was just there. The dudes with IQ above 120 were insufferable to work with. The dudes with IQ below 85 were insufferable to work with. Both managed to do about the same amount of work. The dudes who scored between 100-110 were a pleasure to work with, and practically carried the other two groups.

I can't tell if this is real or not, fantastic!

The real IQ test is whether or not you give a shit about IQ.

Everyone who cares about it is some kind of fucking idiot or another.

I suspect my brother is smarter than I am.

I tested very highly. I can’t remember what the number was. Triple digits at least. It impressed people. I was placed in advanced classes and did very well in school, but I also got bullied and didn’t get girls.

My brother tested very low. People told him he was smarter than that. He said, “prove it.” He attended normal classes, had more friends, and had plenty of girlfriends.

Neither of us attended university. We both work for a living and do alright.

I think he threw his test. So who’s smarter?

Also to be clear: I don’t put much stock in the test itself. We were tested in elementary school. It’s been almost 40 years, so I don’t remember much. Not all students were tested. We were tested at my elementary school, but I don’t remember if it was the office or a classroom or even the library or cafeteria. We were also tested at different ages — I’m 3 years older. So I can’t even say it was a real IQ test. Some kind of aptitude or placement test though. But after, they all said I was some kind of genius. But I never felt like they proved I was any smarter than anyone, just singled out to excel, and for what?

Eh... It says that in a room with a thousand people you would be smarter than 345 of them.

That's the same as saying in a ranking where no. 1000 is the smartest and no.1 is pretty much the dumbest person, you would be number 346.

That's a shitpost
