i have done two real iq tests and the result is around 125. Now i just realize that a lot of "bad luck" in exams and competitions could actually be a result of inferior brain power.

psycology is a pseudoscience and intelligence is not measurable

125 as well
don't care, just want to make money and that's good enough

burden of proof is on you
>>8619835
lmao im just above 130
unless you are 160+, your brain is suboptimal either way
There's no way a 160 IQ isn't vastly vastly superior to a 130 IQ person

Everything that physically exists is measureable. We currently dont have the means to measure it precisely and accurately. IQ is a gross approximation of unabridged intellectual capacity, but gives us highly reliable measure of abstract thinking capability.

at 130 IQ it means basically 1 in 20 people are as smart or smarter than you
Its nothing special really

Don't let imposter syndrome get you down.
My best moments/insight/etc came from failure. PhD programs are about persevering and not giving up. You'll make it man.
I'm like 125 too I didn't make the cutoff for "gifted" when they tested me while a lot of my friends did.
I'm way more educated and better at learning than almost all of them, going for my Ph.D this year while most of my friends barely got their BS.
IQ isn't a perfect measurement, more like a rough estimate. What you need to remember is that hard work, determination, and will power are much more important. You can't control you IQ, but you can control your actions. Don't let this discourage you.
I've never done an IQ test and never will. Sometimes not knowing is the better option.
