I also have bottom one percentile processing speed.

I'm not sure if I am being retarded by choosing to drop hobbies due to an IQ test or if I am instead being realistic.

>drop hobbies due to an IQ test
Yeah thats pretty fucking retarded

Would be like telling your kid not to play with legos because he isn't smart enough to make a proper pyramid.

I just really hate being bad at things. If being good at something is my goal, failure seems inevitable. This mindset is probably why I have such a one dimenensinel list of hobbies. I should probably change it.


I've also been learning too much shit about the importance of IQ.

You shouldn't apply negative labels to yourself, instead you should build on your strengths and seek out positive influences.

one of the reasons to pick art as a hobby though is that you don't actually need to be good

You should also aim to be a GREAT ARTIST, not a good one. There's a quote by Michelangelo on this subject, the gist of which is, aim high and fail -- don't aim low just to succeed in mediocrity.

You are pigeon holing yourself by relying on IQ. But based on this, it really seems like drawing isn't exactly the hobby for you. Everyone is bad at first, and you might take you awhile to even make it to the mediocre stage.

Why not go for a hobby that is artistic, but the majority in the hobby aren't exactly artists? For example, I collect and customize Ball Joint Dolls. A big part of our hobby is creating characters, recognizing sculpts, recognizing accessories (eyes, wigs, clothes, etc.), recognizing companies, and getting to know other people in the hobby (their characters, their niche, any services they provide). There are a lot of people in the hobby that just buy dolls, have someone do the face up, and then buy clothes/wigs. Others will do the face up themselves, or try to do a lot of other things themselves. Both ways are legitimate.

I only mention this because you said you recognize faces well. That is a great trait for hobbies like dolls, or even hobbies like sports where people seem to memorize whole teams of athletes.

Tell that to a midget who wants to be a basketball player.

That's no analogy to what we're doing.
