How do you cope with cognitive limitations? Is it even possible

Tortoise and the hare.

Be that tortoise that worked his ass off when the hare was laying back being a cocky little shit. It goes far in the eyes of professors and employers.

>>8269848
inb4 hare decides to one day give a shit and surpasses the tortoise in a fraction of the time

life just isnt fair and all the "try your best" feel-goodery in the world wont change it

I don't even bother trying because it would be pointless.

>tfw consistently score 90 on iq tests and all of your ancestors on both sides were illiterate shit kicking peasants

Feels genetic man

IQ measures developed skills, not native intelligence. Your IQ is not a cognitive limitation. Your lifestyle is, and the IQ is just a fuzzy metric that describes how well your lifestyle has developed your cognitive skills so far.

Never said it was fair. It's just that you won't make it in any field just by being smart and waving your dick around about it unless your institution is shit. A resume is what makes it. Work builds accomplishments, and accomplishments make the resume. "Oh, my IQ is 300 thousand million" doesn't mean jack shit to a graduate degree program. Show some published research, some work experience, a demonstration of your competence, then you have something to talk about.

He's completely right though. You are a moron.
Did you get suckered into paying up MENSA to buy a bit of much needed (but unfounded) self esteem?

... that doesn't feel good at all

>>8269877
this is absolutely correct.

if you think that an iq test measures innate intelligence, then you have far too much faith in the social sciences and a god awfully low self-esteem to identify with whatever you scored.
that said, i imagine its comforting to think that you are objectively judged to be better than some percentage of the population... but not for long: the implicit conclusion being that your most valuable or most defining characteristic is one predicated upon luck or
>>8269883
>octaves of the sun
to conclude that iq is not predicated upon lifestyle is not only ludicrous, but un-empowering.

>>8269870
well, perhaps that 90 iq cant reason that it is likely more cultural than genetic seeing as literacy is not innate like spatial awareness or language.

IQ doesn't exist

Euler was told he was retarded as a kid, and didn't do anything impressive until he was 40

>tfw both parents kinda dumb

lol you are so self-defeatist, how will you ever accomplish anything if you think from the beginning that you can't do as much as someone else?

>>8269840
Stop thinking of intelligence as a fixed constant.

Congratulations, you've taken your first step towards not being retarded. Now you can use insight and metacognition to develop better ways of thinking and patch around intrinsic weaknesses.
