Is there really any point to studying a science if you aren't

>>8057738
money, you need to do something at the end of the day unless you win the lotto. if you like the kind of work why not? you still assist people with 130+ iq. and you never know you may figure something out, though you probably need more than 105 for that.

>>8057747
I'm only a 115 iq brainlet, but thankfully not as low as 105

Dont worry about iq op just do something that u are good at/enjoy.
Ive got a pretty high iq but i live rent free at home and make 20 an hr. Theres more to life than lamborghinis.
Italians are fags anyway

Even a caveman can do it brush up on algebra

>>8057753
>Tfw 115 brainlet that is too smart to stand 100s but can't hang with 130s

Why live?

>>8057790
I ask myself that every day

is there even a good way to measure qi correctly online?

>>8057869
This is the feeling right here. My IQ is 140 and I'm dumb as living shit. Barely got though basic college trig

>>8057863
why would you want to measure dick?

>>8057869
I feel you anon

>tfw when I still think I'm dumb as shit

Are you me?

>>8057870
I'm 130 and in college trig. Starting to rethink my EE major.

there are so many geniuses here im jealous of not being part of the high society

>>8057738
Most successful academics are below 130, and no wonder. Individual genius is not the only factor to success, progressing science is a collaborative endeavour, as is building civilisation.

In fact the 120-130 range seems to be a general sweet spot, the intellectual nerve centre and lynchpin of civilisation. One reason is the fact that there is a widely recognised communication barrier across large differences in IQ, as the mutual ability to empathise with how the other side thinks diminishes. Over two standard deviations (30 points), communication is very difficult.

The 120-130 IQ people can readily communicate with the average person, AND can understand (with effort) and make use of the brilliant contributions of the very few extremely gifted individuals. They're often better equipped to delegate the application of those contributions, and can pool their efforts more easily as they are more numerous.

there's no point to anything, OP

It feels weird and I don't like it.

You were reading the same article I was reading. Nice to see someone else talking about it.

Very good post.

I agree with this >>8058567 anon

How can I test my IQ?

I tried this one test once and it was some math bullshit I had never learned...

>>8057870
Don't worry you're probably just
>smart but lazy

>>8058999
Use http://test.mensa.no
It's from another thread, I'm 130 and the test had me at 125 so it's fairly accurate

>>8059012
Popped 115, Guess im avg.

>>8059012
>so it's fairly accurate
don't think so laddie, I scored 140 on it.

>>8057883
But I don't want to be a successful academic or collaborate with people, I want to be a self-made groundbreaking genius admired by all.

>>8057790
Yeah.
And the 100s can't stand the 85s but are too dumb to hang around with the 115s.
And the 130s are too dumb to hang with the 145s.
And the 145s can't stand the 130's but are too dumb to hang with the 160s.

tl;dr
who cares? everyone has problems

>>8059055
100 is average (that's how tests are calibarated), never seen anyone admitting he's <100 tho

This is an advice thread.

>>8059102
Those of below average intelligence have no reason to do these tests and brag about the results. That's an activity largely limited to mid-wits who having no real achievements to speak of, cling to the slightly above-average intelligence they were born with (and are wasting) as a core pillar of their self-esteem.

>>8059012
It says my IQ is 125 but my life is a clusterfuck though.

>>8059012
>Your IQ was measured to 135, which is equivalent to the 99 percentile.

This test is a bullshit Im afraid.

>>8057870
wow it's almost like basic pattern recognition abilities don't correlate to actual intelligence or work ethic

>>8059159
When I was like 10 I've gone through a few hours long screening due to awful and grammar-error-stuffed writing. Guys there checked my IQ, memory (and its distibution), "spatial thinking", "emotional development" any many more. Point I'm trying to make is, IQ became kinda social construct. It really takes in account only a small segment of total intelligence, but society needs non-judgemental values to compare. In the same manner as Mount Everest is neither the most beautiful, nor hardest so it should not be times more popular than any other peak - but number gives our ego something, what nobody can contradict.

>>8059086
unlucky

>>8059012
Internet tests are bullshit mate

>>8059409
this is actually a legit mensa test though

>>8059092
Where the fuck is this coming from? Is this some bullshit you're pulling out of your ass or is there a study for this.

>>8060042
It's a long-established concept, quantitated since the advent of IQ measurement, most firmly established in/through pedagogy. Peer groups, no matter their specific average IQ, seem to have a span of up to 30 IQ.

>>8059012
was doing well up until about 15-18 question in, then i gave up and clicked finish. result: 106 IQ. whatever, i guess.

>>8059086
>self-made groundbreaking genius

Those usually aren't people with high IQ's though.
If you wanna be an innovate CEO 300k a day fucking bitches every week, you don't need to be that high.

You need to learn to be creative.

>Ability to solve a timed test with logical and geometrical problems
>Intelligence as a whole

>>8060183
yeah im this retard >>8060139 and i dont see how its reflective of my intelligence. im not saying im smart -- i typically test in the 70th-80th percentile on standardized tests -- but analyzing geometric pattern recognition provides a laughably incomplete view of overall human intelligence.

Science is simple.
It's a method.
It's math and checking your biases that are hard.
Pretty much all Science Orgs have come under fire for biases, and much of Scientific history turned out to be wrong due to biases.
We always believe "we've got our shit straight now... no biases at all..." but every year we're proved wrong.
About 50% of what is reported to be science is bullshit, supported by circular reporting.

>>8060200
I'll add to that the fact that rigour in the application of the scientific method not being particularly interesting in itself often makes the more intelligent merely succeed in being wrong in a cleverer way.

>>8060185
Smug jews say that if you are not smart book smart, then you are a filthy goy and deserve to die.

Street people say that if you are too much of a bookworm, you lack

street smart usually means being able to apply previous knowledge and take decisions fast enough in context, its just like science but for normal life. But street smart people also make unusual "genious" usage of previous knowledge in situations never seen before.

IE: Nespresso and every fancy brand ever: "lets just sell dumb shit by packaging and marketing for smart snobby people"

The person that is capable of applying this logic effectively, its the true god of science without needing to be a geometric mathgod autist

>>8060216
*you lack street smartness

1. You need to be 18 to post here.
2. IQ declines with age

I know it's immature but this is how I feel as well.

>>8057738
Yes.

Most of science is fucking memorizing and luck, don't let anyone tell you differently.

In fact, computers will be handling most of it soon, and god knows that aren't "intelligent."

did /sci/ suddenly become retarded?

How are physical ones any different?

Yes the majority of online IQ tests are bullshit but not all. Mensa is THE standard.

>defining something as "mature"/"inmature"
It would be more accurate to define them as "insecure behavior" or "self-destructive personality".
