IQ directly correlates with success and ability.

uh oh someone doesn't know how graphs work.

>>9293760
Women don't understand what they read (unless it's some YA garbage). I spend most of my time at the university library and it's packed with the kind of women who read. They wear glasses with thick black frames, dressed as if they held a serious office job, always with a papercup of overpriced coffee, underlining some uni texts like drones and responding to text messages every 5 minutes.

>>9293779

I don't understand the purpose of this post, but just to make things clear: according to this graph, most females have average IQ scores, whereas males surpass females in both the lower and higher spectrums.

>>9293862
Nice argument, really convinced me with those hot opinions faggot.

>>9293883
I've no argument to make, you're speaking in nebulous common terms that have no proper meaning in any scientific context. Nor do you have any idea what direct correlation implies which shows little grasp of understanding statistics in general.

Men read literature, women study it for validation

Men read the great works of western canon available in public domain, scientific and philosophical papers, women buy shiny cover novels by John Green and 50 Shades of Gray

yes, but the correlation is negative if I remember correctly, i.e., those with a higher IQ were *less* likely to succeed according to societal norms.

How many units of success and ability = one unit of IQ?

>>9295547
You remember incorrectly. Also, regardless of how much the po-mo "math is a lie" assholes and STEMfags bitter about how useful of a measure the abstract, unscientic IQ is shit up this thread, it's still the best predictor of performance in school and future income we have.

>>9293760

IIRC it's only up to a point. Example: from 75 to 125 it is correlated, but after that the curve flattens, then goes the other way.

Men shouldn't read modern literature. It's just fan fiction written by feminist girls and beta males.

Men should read these books and only these books. The rest is fan fiction:

1. The Holy Bible.
2. The Iliad and Odyssey.
3. The Complete Works of Shakespeare.
4. Dante's Divine Comedy
5. Plato Complete Works.

>>9293853
Success yes, ability no.
speaking purely anecdotally here, but every business owner I've met and worked for has a certain intellectual dullness to them. they have drive, determination, and confidence, they have enough intelligence to run a business(which frankly, isn't much) and, invariably, they are happy to some degree.

at a certain point intelligence gets in the way of business matters, social interactions, and confidence in one's endeavors.
More often than not, people of average intelligence take advantage of people with higher intelligence. Average minds run the businesses that great minds work for

IQ is a real metric you dolt. It holds constant across cultures. The "IQ tests are culturally biased" meme is disproved by pattern based IQ tests. The highest IQ countries are the most successful and the lowest are third world shit holes.

in terms of highly intellectually-stimulating activities, especially ones done for enlightenment, reading is the "girl activity" and video games are the "men's activity."
while men read less on average, they read solely for enlightenment and so about 99.99% of books read by females aren't read by men. because they read for enlightenment, men are all analytical readers whereas girls tend to read at elementary or inspectional levels.

"not an argument" might be one of the must infuriating things I've heard in recent times.

I've yet to meet anyone who says this who isn't a massive narcissist who is so sure of himself as superior to the rest of the world he cant help but feel all conversations he has are debates which he must win.

Everything is a battle of "wits" where he must prove himself superior, using and sometimes abusing logic to "beat" his opponents.

In reality though, all of these people I've met have been just very insecure people trying to find a reason why they are better than everyone else, a definitive reason they can convince themselves they aren't as worthless as they know they are.

Seriously. Next time you yell "NOT AN ARGUMENT" at someone, try to consider if the last thing the person said was a genuine attempt to discuss something with you or if they were just laughing at you. It will save everyone some time.

>>9293760
Do you guys actually think that she read all the books in that list? Quite patrician if she did desu.

Also, why is she posting it on twitter? Is it attempt to encourage other girls to take up reading serious literature instead of instagram-whoring or reading ya? Or is it another case of this bitch pretending to look smart to attract more orbiters?

If she is reading, and comprehending rosseau, camus, keats, and fucking proust, she at least has an undergraduate in literature or philosophy.

Who is this girl, and where can i meet more like her?

I assume she is a woman because of the hand-writing, and men do not make lists to post on the internet.

No girl will ever really love you. They only love themselves. You can, however, have sex with them if you are either attractive, rich, or have high social status.

>>9303408

Not necessarily, make yourself valuable. Looks, Fitness, Money, Social stuff. Once you got everything down, wonders will happen!

>>9303413
But I am not attractive, rich, or in possession of high social status. I don't have anything a woman could possibly want from me. I have bad teeth and messy hair and a dumb hillbilly southern drawl.

But despite all of that, I've had amazing sexual encounters with many exceptional women.

There is no trick to it, no secret to success with the preferred gender. It's like anything else. Either you have it naturally, or you work hard to get it on your own merit.

>>9303970
>I am not in possession of high social status

I'm a poor Appalachian auto-mechanic with two fake teeth. Virtue signalling might work on vapid college chicks, but most of the people in my town see right through that kind of bullshit.

Speaking of virtue signalling though, aren't you doing something similar? By attempting to call me out, are you not attempting to demonstrate to the masses that you possess the intellectual high ground, and thus making your position on the issue of whether or not social status can be found lacking apparent?

IQ has some correlations but its a completely flawed matrix. Otherwise you would just be asked to take IQ tests for entry into whatever fields.

It doesn't accurately and all-encompassingly measure intelligence.

Plenty of high IQ people are completely unsuccessful at everything and anything that isn't an IQ test, and plenty of low IQ people are successful.

Not to mention that most people can get better at IQ tests by studying and learning and practising general spatial skills, mathematics and language skills.

From one perspective, you could argue that the people you are calling intellignet, AREN'T intelligent.

What makes you think they are actually intelligent? That they score highly on an iq test?

Arguably the successful business guys are more intelligent, as they are more capable of succeeding.
