Anyone else straight up fucking dumb?

i always thought dunning kruger was more applicable to midwits

you don't really sound like someone with a low iq to me, why would you assume you have one?
>i always thought dunning kruger was more applicable to midwits
My theory was that less intelligent people have a harder time learning and therefor stay in the zone of high incompetancy/low skill for longer. Also it should be harder for them to self-reflect and therefore it is easier for them not recognize it.

you are so incredibly cringe that you think IQ has anything to do with intelligence

I'm just good at articulating what I think, but give me a math test and I overthink it.
IQ puzzles too they don't make sense to me, I always feel like there's multiple good answers.

to give a more specific example I was one of the only 2 out of a 100 in my school to fail the driving theory exam.

IQ tests vary from test to test and few are consistently reliable, e.g. vocabulary tests favour english students and feature in many, non verbal reasoning impacts people with varying degrees of aphasia, and logic tests only test a very particular sort of intelligence. IQ tests lack any pragmatic applications of problem solving and rely heavily on attained data in your lifespan, which - how can that possibly reflect a "true" intelligence?

if IQ was a real tester of natural, innate and unchanging intelligence it would not increase or decrease after schools are installed in areas. it's very unreliable and it doesn't account for a lot of different types of learning and understanding. thinking it defines any part of you imo demonstrates stupidity in and of itself and a desperation to feel special. "intelligent" people should be critical of these tests, but for some reason, they aren't.

>"intelligent" people should be critical of these tests, but for some reason, they aren't.
maybe because they also happen to do well on them so it's in their disinterest to admit they're bs

IQ measures the ability to solve abstract problems. How else would you create an objective test to determine if someone is retarded or not? The whole idea was to figure out who is to dumb to get drafted.
Being able to articulate things good is something that requires a high level of intelligence. Forget online IQ-tests they are mostly garbage. Also most people can up their score by a full standard deviation just by practicing these tests. I'd imagine you are at least 100-114

if IQ tests are about abstract problems, why do they have vocabulary sections on many of them? have you even done one?

also, dude, i don't know if you're for real, but "being able to articulate yourself good" is the most stupid phrase i've ever heard. well. you're looking for the word "well". talking down to people about articulation while fucking up your own articulation is monumental

driving theory exam is mostly based on knowledge and not intelligence.

real IQ tests aren't
English is my second language. I assume I'm pretty good in it but I make mistakes. Thanks for pointing it out.

"Innate unchanging intelligence" doesn't exist, there's no firmware running in your brain it grows and rewires according to effort and experience.

>130 IQ
>sceptical
it IS fund to LARP on the chans from time to time

Mensa includes verbal components. Would you not consider mensa tests "real IQ tests"?

I agree, which is why IQ is stupid

I became very stupid around the time I turned 30. I lived in a black mold infested house for a year and it destroyed my abilities to focus, visualize, and calculate. Where before I could mentally add up and price materials lists for a construction job just by walking around and thinking about what needed to get done, I would now struggle to add things up WITH A CALCULATOR given a drawn diagram of the project and a tally of materials needed. I had to quit my career and let go of my crew because I couldn't make things work anymore, mentally and physically. I can't speak for people who were always dumb, but for me being an idiot is really fucking frustrating and time consuming.

Took the SAT (American thing) in 7th grade for fun which is normally for high schoolers. Best most of my older brother's classmates (1040 on a 1600 point scale). Took it severely underslept and got 1050 5 years later.

Took a test to get into a private high school. Scored a 91/100. Put in all honors, didn't follow through, lost all but English honors.

Took the military ASVAB test through my school and scored a 93/100. Didn't join the military, probably should have joined the Air Force.

Took an IQ test as party of a study on stimulants at 20. Scored around 125. For the final "assemble this structure" part of the test, I couldn't figure out what the proctor told me was the easiest part for most people. Got everything else in it though.

Fast forward to now. Almost 33, getting a second associate's degree after 15 years in college. Lifetime earnings probably totals less than $70,000.

Older sister with several PhDs and top in her field (stats, epidemiology, sociology and gerontology) says I'm the smartest out of my siblings. Older brother is an Electrical Engineer.

Meanwhile, living at my parents and haven't banged in nearly 8 years. High IQ and high test scores doesn't always correlate to success in life. Neither does pretty much being liked by coworkers and friends. Being able to focus and followthrough plays a huge role. Also, depression, anxiety and addictive behavior I have can suck my dick. Don't like being dependant on my parents and the state.

Some days, I've wanted to end it all, but thankfully haven't. Partially I don't want others to suffer and I want to contribute to society and make something of myself. I am lucky to have fairly decent health and a supportive and loving family.

Good luck anons of all IQs. May you make it.

that sounds like a lawsuit. Sue

Better than being a midwit

Me. Today I sold my tsla $600 5/8 put for $7 when it went to $28, I bought at .98

$18* not $28

My girlfriend hast 143, I love it when she dominates me.

Kys demon

Midwits are dummer than retards

it was in a state where landlords have protection against lawsuit for mold issues. i kept detailed records of leaks in the ceiling, mold on and in the walls, conversations with the landlord about the problem where she (a jew) gaslit me and said that it was all my fault... the lawyers i talked to said i had no standing and i gave up.
