The specific number isn't the best indicator. Like if you're 132 and your friend is 133, that doesn't mean anything. Now 15 point gaps are good indicators for intelligence comparison, anything smaller, not so much.

IQ is meaningless. And I'm not just saying this because I'm insecure about my small IQ.

IQ is the single best determinant for lifetime success, more so than race, ethnicity, education, or even social class.

IQ is literally if you have the willpower to seek out patterns or study for it.

um, nah

It is a relatively accurate potential indicator, nothing more. Don't get too wrapped up into it, it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of life.

>>8735779

you say it like it's some magic

IQ is very important in many fields. Someone with 90 IQ will not be able to do well in physics.
