looks, easier money

If I can keep my looks, intelligence. I'm not a model by any means but I'm alright, being one of the most intelligent people on earth would benefit me more

I'm vain though so if I was really asked to choose I might pick looks

Looks.
I can buy whores when I'm rich.

>>41652690

Top 1 percent for looks lol.

The most attractive people I've met also happen to be rich, happy and relatively smart. so there's that.

most of the smartest people i know are wagecuck scientists or engineer types and theyre losers

that fourth wall too intelligent for looks

>>41652690
Looks. I'd be dumb enough to enjoy normie things on the daily and would have easy money and sex.

Do i get to keep my current level intelligence? If yes looks, if no neither. I like to think I'm top 25% intellect and top 40% looks.

Looks.

You can work on intelligence if you're curious and highly motivated.

You can't fix your height, jaw line, hair line / balding, beard thickness / growth pattern, skin color, eye color, canthal tilt, or nose shape, etc. (without lots of surgeries).

I'd say someone in only the 50th percentile of intelligence could accomplish quite a lot if they have a burning desire. The top 1% of intelligence would just get you a PhD researcher position working on the bleeding edge of human knowledge at some prestigious university, publishing papers so advanced that only 2 or 3 other people in your field in the world could understand then... but there's no money in academia so no one cares. You could still die a virgin.

It's pretty easy to do both

Literally all you need to do to be smarter than 99% of the world's population is know something at the same level you would get from a university education

Then for lifting a 1/2/3/4 is probably better than 99% of what the world as a whole can do considering half the population are women and you have all those starving africans and shit

Definitely looks. I'm not even slightly above average intelligence I feel like I drowning under an avalanche of idiots every day. People so stupid they can barely function in modern society. So no, I'd rather be dumber and be 1% of looks.

>>41655430

this, and there is a lot of weight, and depression that comes with being intelligent. Knowing how fucked up and dumb the world is, is depressing.

Ignorance is bliss.

>>41652690
If I was female - Looks easy
If I was male and not an ugly troll - Intelligence

>>41652690
I'm currently in top 1% of intelligence, top ~10% for fitness and average for height & facial aesthetics.
I would definitely switch that for being tall/attractive and average intelligence. Women don't give a shit about brains. And you can have a perfectly fine career with average intelligence.

I'd go with looks. While yes, you're going to lose them, I think that the peripheral benefits are actually somewhat long lasting. Ever see those 43 year old women who are -to be fair still (usually) decently attractive- who think and act like they're still Queen Shit of their senior class? Or 39 Chad Mc50KaYearAndAlimony who thinks he's a real cool brah, braaaahs? I think there's a certain level of confidence and delusion that never goes away because you had you balls sucked (both literally and figuratively) - the inverse to that is the pimple faced DYEL geek who is now 41 and pulling down six figures but is in a "My Wife's Son" relationship and/or fell the "Loyal and Loving Asian Girl Who Totally Isn't Just with Him for The Shekels and Will Never Leave Him Once She Has a Ring, a HAPA and a Green Card" meme because he thinks he's just lucky to be getting any poon at all because he never even touched a thigh in high school.

I think that there's a certain momentum that usually begins early in life -the biggest part in youth being looks- and it gets one things that maybe they never should have; and those who are ugly miss out and lose opportunities. We've all heard the stories of douchey hot dudes who bang everything in sight yet have a shitty personality (or perhaps none at all), and we all know the really cool guy (this could even be YOU reading this) who is practically invisible when he enters a room that contains the opposite sex, and in many cases it affects his confidence (on multiple levels) very negatively.

>inb4 "all this projecting, my dude"
I'm fully aware of this but I do think that there's some logic behind my reasoning.

>>41652690
>all of these retards picking looks

Einstein was fucking atrocious and everybody and their mom knows and respects him.

Anybody picking looks is destined for failure.

Looks. Actors make more than scientists.

>>41652725
But if you end up in bottom 1% intelligence, you will be to stupid to capitalize on your looks.

Then again, you might also be too stupid to be unhappy....

>>41655742
You make the assumption that everyone seeks the same thing. Have you considered how depressed one may become being in that intelligence bracket? Looking around and finding it hard to relate, having to deal with people are are generally VASTLY inferior intellectually and seeing problems everywhere that you can't possibly fix the majority off due to time/access? At least with the high grade in looks and low grade in intellect you'll be happy on an animal level; sure you won't know WHY Jenny's deepthroating you even though you just met her that afternoon, but you DO know that she is, and a nut's a nut; if that and a six pack of beer is all that you desire then you're the most satisfied guy one can find.

Top 1% for intelligence isn't Einstein. If you got into/graduated from a good university (I don't mean Ivy League, just a good uni) chances are you're in the top 10-20% intelligence bracket, especially globally. Being in the top 1% just means that if there are 10-20 college students in a room, you're the smartest. Doesn't mean you're Einstein.

>>41652690
I'm already in the top 1% for intelligence. It;s kind of lonely and boring; it's harder to connect with people and I get bored with studying complex social issues and soft sciences because I "crack the code" too quickly, causing my interests to be very transient.

Would personally go with looks and advise others to do the same, but this could easily be a grass-is-always-greener scenario.

>good for introverts (anonymous, obviously doesn't have to interact physically)
>can be used to compensate for real relationships if the person is lonely/doesn't have (or finds it hard to make) a friend
>general low stress environment used to relax

Again, I doubt his claim of being in the 1% though.

>>41655951
>>41655968
It's not that crazy, fellas. The top 1.0% starts at 138. I was professionally tested twice as a child and scored 138 and 143. I'm not saying I'm Einstein or Tesla. The bar is surprisingly low. Top-level politicians like Barack Obama are in my bracket, for God sake.

I'm also unironically in the top 1% and you just sound like a fedora tipping incel. If you're lonely and bored that's your personal failing, not because you're too smart. Connecting with people is a skill.

>>41656002
This isn't a "hurr durr liberals" jab, but we fill our governments with people in the top 1% (and lower, of course, but a lot of one-percenters) and while they're clearly bright (policies are shit for the common man, but calculated to benefit elites without being so bad that commoners revolt), I doubt anyone would say they are wildly exceptional or that it's unbelievable you could actually know such a person.

Even though I know that you didn't mean anything by it, here's where the thread goes off the rails. You know what I mean (again, I really don't believe you mean for it to go the way that it's about to).

Looks.

A vast majority of the population is pretty average to below average in the intelligence department. Thereby they make judgements solely on appearance and how someone could help their social standing. Everyone loves attractive people, and would much rather mate and be friends with someone who can make them attractive by association or up their class.

Humans in general tend to lean to more baser traits (attractiveness, charisma, social standing) rather than intellectual high grounds. And no one really likes being around someone that makes them feel unintelligent.

The vast majority of the population is below average or average, anon? How about this: exactly half the population is above average and exactly half is below.

Intelligent people tend to be happier, healthier, more symmetrical (classically better looking) as well as vastly more productive and subsequently exist within the highest income brackets.

Being born with high Intelligence is basically like winning the lottery, you're in for a great life.

There isn't much to be said for being good looking, assuming all other factors remain the same, you'd still not have the life you want, nor - generally speaking - the capacity to attain it.

High intelligence has direct correlation to depression. Being able to see the world for what it is and not being able to relate due to intelligence gap causes alienation.

Top 1% of either, it's lonely.

Lucrative opportunities exist for top 1% of good looking people, but then you are just another illuminati whore.

Type in 'high intelligence and' into Google and see what is returned.

Good looks. I'm already as intelligent as I've ever wanted to be. Not a supergenius or anything, just content with what I've got, with skills suited to my career.

But I'm the definition of a 5/10, and I see how easy it is for people who are only a 7/10 at best. I'd kill for an upgrade to 10/10.

What percentage would a person be at if they had an IQ of 144?

>>41657414
about top 25%

>>41657420
Average IQ is ~100 and standard deviation is ~15

Having an IQ or 144 would put you in the top 1%.

>>41657420

Way off. An IQ of 145 would put someone in the 0.1% of all humans.

OP didn't imply in any way you would be dumb, there's no correlation between looks and intelligence, you can be retarded and look like an oompa loompa and live in a favela or be 10/10 and be a super genius and be a millionare.
Real life is not an RPG where you have a limited amount of skill points.
Most likely you would have average intelligence.

there are proven geniuses meanwhile that are fucking poor somehow

>>41655902
no it was implied that you're in the top 1% worldwide, which would be an IQ of around 150+

Intelligence without a moment's hesitation. It would make my hobbies more satisfying and I'd be smart enough to have a very high income job to support my hedonistic lifestyle.

>>41657774
Intelligence is a meme.

I mean, it both is and isn't. A high IQ is good, yes, but there's more than just IQ to take into consideration. You need drive, passion, etc. etc.

And wisdom is different from high iq. I know "intelligent" people who act dumb as shit. As in, certified mensa members who are more ignorant of the real world than the 80 iq mong in the dole line.

>>41657771
I don't know about that, I think most people realize, they just don't care that much.
Meanwhile I'm an autist so I can't stop fucking up in social situations so I still do dumb shit even though I'm not stupid.
Intelligent people are more likely to be on the spectrum and/or depressed.

>>41652690

Being intelligent means also being more sensitive and depressed. I am becoming dumber with years, but I got much more happy

>>41657142
Can confirm this guy may be in the 1% but it isn't the top 1%.

>>41657142
yes but you're watering it down, we're to assume OP means top 1% in the world, meaning out of 7 billion people you're among the most intelligent

it's much different to be the strongest person out of 100 people, vs the strongest out of a billion people

intelligence cant be improved, looks can. being able to understand the world we live in must feel great. about 1/3 of the people are overweight, its not even hard to lookmax

>>41657820
exactly, that's why I think einstein was so brilliant. talking totally out of my ass but I think he had a rare combination of raw intelligence and creativity, combined with a shitty upbringing that gave him the drive to do the things that he accomplished

1% of 7 billion is 70 million
So that means there's 70 million people on earth as intelligent/beautiful as you (or more) after you choose.

I wouldn't say it's that special, in fact it's exactly one in 100 special.

Not true it will follow a bell curve and the top 1% will not be proportionate to 1% of the entire human population (so less than 70 million).
However you are correct when typing "as you (or more) after you choose.", as the 1% will differ as well and the bottom 1% will be far numerous than the top of the 1%.

>>41657932
>>41657949

That depends on what OP means, he could mean "more intelligent than 99% of the population" which is what I think.
Or he could mean "divide the x axis into 100 intervals and pick the highest one" which is what you think.

I think OP should clarify, either way I would choose looks.

>>41652690
looks. definitely looks.

I'm in the top 1% of intelligence, tested through mensa.

its not worth it. mental illness is higher among smart people and i've had my share of depression and anxiety.

Human interaction is too boring so I'm withdrawn just like the others. because of this you just dont fit in with anybody. they dont keep your interest long enough. I also have ADHD which doesn't help either.

If I could reroll on life, I'd go for looks no question. at least that way you won't have such foresight in life and despair at the potential you have.
plus even though i know that on average, i've done well, however i still feel like im behind in life.

it's not worth it. you'll end up becoming me, a monkey with his hand around a peanut in a jar

This guy is obviously lying, but the correct answer is IQ.

Nothing in life predicts your success like IQ, a higher IQ = a better life in every single metric.

>>41652690
Think about it this way: the vast majority (>70%) of the world is clinically overweight, obese, or underweight; they're not gonna be even remotely attractive by /fit/ standards.

There are a lot of stupid people, but there are probably more fatties and other unattractive people in the world.

plus you get 2 skill points for INT and only 1 for CHA, and party size can be increased with renown

This guy's right.

IQ literally just makes everything easier. Smart people are unhappy because they're assholes and can't appreciate what they have, not because they're smart. Intelligence=unhappiness is a meme, literally.

That said, I still choose looks, because I want to be surrounded by people who are trying to be nice to me. Even if it's fake, it makes living in the world a lot easier.

Yes I'm a desperate autist who just wants to be loved, come at me faggots.

Is the top 1% intelligence really that good? Pretty sure the average stem lecturer is probably around there. Give me 0.001% and we'll talk.

>>41657473
Being desired is worthwhile. If you're desired by many people, your social value increases, which has value outside of romance.

I'm already top 1% inteligence, going for the looks.

>>41652690
Looks, I am already at the top 1% intelligence crew and I can tell you, it's not fun, you don't make bank and most of the time you are unsatisfied with yourself. Looks at least result in an easier life and less questioning yourself for what you do or do not do

>>41652690

>>41652690
I think correlation of intelligence=lonely meme might have to do with the parental lifestyle instead of the "depression" genes or shit like that(just making this shit up, regardless if it exists as a considered bio factor). Even if the intellectual's parents are less smart than their child, they have a chance of realizing his potential, and obviously pushing him hard into academics, thereby REDUCING chances of developing social cognition, awareness, and interaction as skills bc of interests.

Same can be said for high iq guys with bad parents. get them into bad shit, and theyll become latched onto it. Im under the assumption that most kids, even with high iq, are still easily impressionable even with the capacity to question and identify patterns.

>>41652690
1% for looks, intelligence has a sweet spot for being beneficial to you.

1% intelligence and use that to become arny huge.

1% intelligence if I could also have mental stability and no disorder... a lot of very intelligent I've seem seem to be autistic, miserable, borderline crazy and some of them have killed themselves.

1/100 in the looks department will noticeably change your life in terms of how you are perceived by others and how you perceive yourself. 1/100 for intelligence won't have anywhere near the same effect and among other smart people(the only ones who will appreciate your intelligence) you still won't be exceptional.

Why would you pick intelligence, what's the point

hard question, really. I'm pretty intelligent now and can't imagine being dumb but really good looking. I mean, I can, but it seems like a pretty vain way of life.

I am already in the top 3% of intelligence with a (professionally tested) 128 IQ.

I like being as smart as I am, but from a normie standpoint, my life would have been better if I were dumber. I'll take the top 1% of looks easily, no one gives a fuck if you're in the top 1% of intelligence.

>>41657414
Top 0.1%

Almost everyone who says they have a 140 IQ is lying, or ironically so stupid that they don't understand why results from online tests are meaningless (they're non-standardized).

> being one of the 70M smartest people on earth is something anyone with a PHd can brag about.

PhD doesn't mean you're smart, it means you spent a lot of time in college.

Academic/financial success is not a measure of intelligence, usually only women are stupid enough to think this.

holy shit anon, calm down. That's nice and all, and good for you, but the average IQ for doctors and lawyers is like 130-135, and it's not like they're all geniuses.

Your life would be worse if you were dumber, trust me. At best you'd be a big fish in a small pond. Right now you could be an even bigger fish in the same pond, but you don't want to and that's probably wise. Just try to take advantage of whatever pond you're in. If you really are as smart as you say, that should be pretty easy for you to do.

Did you finish reading my post? That's the top 3% of the population. You're so dumb that you think 140 is "smart", and you actually believe the mass amount of idiots claiming to have 140+ IQs.

A 140 IQ is the top 0.1% of the population, it is not "smart", it is freak genius level. We have several people claiming to be in that top 0.1% of intelligence ITT.

I am genuinely intelligent and have a realistic IQ from a professionally administered standardized test.

I am smarter than everyone in this thread claiming to have a 140+ IQ, ironically those are people who are dumber than me that are either lying, or they're so stupid they don't even understand why an online IQ test means nothing.

basically if you choose look you'll have a great life, full of enjoyments, plenty money, and of course, your selfsteem will be through the roof and if you choose intelligence you'll live a good life, full of money and your kids will probably be really smart and will live the life that you didn't have the time to live

This guy has a 125 IQ. He is a nobel prize winner and widely considered to be a genius.

The only reason you think a 128 IQ is low is because you're so fucking stupid you actually believe the thousands of idiots on the internet who claim to have 130-160 IQs.

If they truly had a 140+ IQ, they would EXPLICITLY STATE THAT THEY TOOK A STANDARDIZED PROFESSIONALLY ADMINISTERED TEST (the WAIS/WISC).

They would understand that they are making a claim that makes people skeptical, and at least say SOMETHING to acknowledge that, but they don't even do that. Why? Because they're actually fucking morons who have nowhere even close to a 140 IQ.

>>41660999
no there isn't, i doubt there is a single one 1%int homeless dude, if you're homeless that means your life is shit, like, really shit and unless you were born homeless your life decisions made you homeless, and a top 1% int guy doesn't do bad life decisions, specially the ones that would make one homeless

>>41661094
Many people are homeless by choice you know. You're simply not intelligent enough to understand or imagine the reasons why an intelligent man would want to be homeless.

It requires a level of abstract thought you're obviously not capable of. The top 1% of intelligence is about 70M people. There's definitely a homeless person right now in the top 1% of intelligence.

The Unabomber was an example of a homeless person in the top 1% of intelligence.

>>41661094
I remember reading about this one Russian mathematician who still lives in poverty with his mother, who rejected a million dollar prize for some discovery or work he did. I don't remember the details but I'm sure someone here knows what I'm talking about.

What you linked LITERALLY argues against you you moron. Richard was genius despite having a subpar IQ. Yes, 125 is subpar. Read the fucking article

look here you fucking retarded monkey, the top percentages of something aren't always great. It doesn't instantly make you impressive. You aren't smart with your subpar IQ despite being better than great great majority, and this isn't because I think half of 4chan has 140 IQ. But because the fucking great great majority sucks donkey dick. You'd be a complete and utter moron to believe every faggot who claims to have whatever it is they claim to have on 4chan actually has it

Top 3% of strength places you at probably less than 2pl8 bench. Is that great? Is that impressive to you? Would you be proud about that, would you consider yourself "an extremely hard worker since I land at top 3%"?

>>41652690
having good looks can carry you through life without having to do fuck all. Just go to college and get a random business degree, become a salesperson and whore yourself and make millions per year because sex sells.

Who gives a shit if you aren't einstein

I guess I would choose intelligence and dedicate my life to achieving something truly great. but then again who knows what the chances of that actually are no matter how smart you are.

“I have not failed 10,000 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000 ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work.”

I wonder how many truly smart people tried 10.000 ways to invent something and in the end all the came up with is nothing and a wasted life. it always sounds great on paper but just like in pro bodybuilding for every mr. olympia there are thousands that fail and fuck up their entire life because of it.

>>41660514
>sample size doesn't matter at all, like lol duhhhh!

>>41660977
>0.1% of the population

That means in a random pool of 1000 people from a population there is a near certain chance that 1 of the people from that pool will have an IQ of 140 or higher, why is it so hard to believe there are people who have a higher IQ than you in this thread?

You can train a gorilla to be better at IQ tests but I guess it really is a great way to measure intelligence and how smart someone is

68.2% of the population lie within one standard deviation from the mean, which is 100. One SD is 15 IQ points, which means the majority of people is within the 85 - 115 IQ bracket. Tons of people is below average in IQ.

yeah, that just proves that he isn't intelligent, for sure he studied a fucking lot and discovered something awesome, but if he was trully intelligent he would know that the million dollar prize would change his mothers life and also his.
any person that choses to live in poverty or as a homeless person isn't intelligent, thats literally being dumb, chosing to struggle for the basics of life isn't very bright (living a simple life is different than being poor though)

>>41661229
There probably is, and they're the people that never even posted their IQ.

People who just say "yeah I have 140 IQ" without even attempting to to claim that they took a professionally administered test, and not an online test, certainly don't have a 140 IQ.

>>41661314
>Tons of people is below average in IQ.

IQ doesn't actually matter though, right? Like, it just measures pattern matching from the ones I've seen which I'm sure is important, but its still just one metric.

And everyone knows if you're not a Jew you'll never be in the top percentile of intelligence so it doesn't matter at all for most of us.

>>41652735
At 1% there's literally tens of thousands just as smart or smarter than you are in every city. You're vastly overestimating how smart 1% is. This coming from a certified 1%er. (Also, a significant part of the 1% are social retards - just spend a while in a Mensa meeting and you can surmise as much)

yeah definitely intelligence, this kind of intelligence will earn me top bucks, I can also work out and increase my looks by 1-2 points

>>41657803
You have no fucking idea of what you are talking about. IQ numeric values depend on what standard deviation you use. With different standard deviation value, the IQ of the same person changes. You can have 120 under one SD and 140 under another. That being said, the most common SD being used is 15, with 100 being the average for IQ. Under that system, 135 is already top 1%. And btw, top 1% means that one in 100 is as "smart" as that person. There are what, close to 7 billion people in the world? That means there are close 70 million people that smart around. Doesn't sound very exceptionally smart to me.

>>41657993
Sounds accurate. Another bro that got "greater than 135" in the test. Especially that feeling that you've wasted your life when you had the potential to do so much more.

>>41660628
Academic success correlates heavily with higher IQ scores.

What kind of question is this? Being born with high intelligence is literally mandatory in order to not be a failure. Honestly it's the only thing I feel inadequate about, the sub 1% in terms of intelligence are truly the people that matter, they are the ones that constructed society and everything you use, it's no wonder that the world is unequal in terms of wealth, people are extremely unequal in capability. Productivity is not a bell curve, sadly.

>>41661581
>IQ doesn't matter
Oh boy, I guess it doesn't matter if you don't care about quality of life.

>>41661581
The thing about IQ is that it only measures intelligence in terms of an IQ test, but IQ has been proven to correlate VERY tightly with other factors, such as academic and professional success to the point where people in a highly demanding position without a high IQ practically don't exist.

>>41657142

Your capacity for critical thinking, learning new concepts and the speed at which you do so is a skill.

I don't understand why people think those things are set in stone for your average person.

I've tutored countless idiots to actually apply what they learned in new, unseen situations that require critical thinking when before all they were capable of was regurgitating formulas.

It's easy to say "ah man I'll never be as smart as that person" since it takes all the responsibility off you and you can just happily be a retard.
