What are the characteristics of a stupid person? How can you

>>8882435
They keep posting these threads?

Generally if they say things like "IQ tests don't matter" or "IQ tests don't matter beyond 120" or "I have an IQ of 145 but I think IQ tests are bullshit," they are most likely low-IQ brainlets.

One trait which seems to be universally shared by tards is a flat refusal to consider the possibility that their views are incorrect. The dumber the person, the more convinced they are that their opinions are facts.

But I could be wrong....;)

non-agnostic: atheist or strong belief in god or religious in a serious, gullible way instead of treating religion as philosophy

likes watching sports instead of practicing them

gets mad and physically aggressive / violent when his sports team loses

drinks alcohol

smokes weed

drinks coffee

uses any kind of drug

is slave to the pussy

is slave to any concept, thing, human, company, brand, etc

is not his own master

has no real personal goals

no aim in life, adapts to whatever happens in any given moment, like a fucking animal, like a tapeworm that barely moves out of the way when a shit goes past it

is a piggot

Agnostics ARE atheists. You simply don't yet know the definitions.

Secondly, are you agnostic about the tooth fairy? If you're honest, you're not agnostic about the tooth fairy, and you're not agnostic about literally thousands of other fictional creations. You know that they don't exist. Yet for some reason, you feel compelled to proudly sit on the fence when it comes to the most absurd creation in the history of fiction, gods.

You should ask yourself why that is.

Generally they don't seem "competent".
For example, my parents, although no idiots, have an IQ in the lower bounds of the human average; they act like any other normie, but when explaining anything to them you need to do checks at regular intervals to ensure they still understand.

>>8882753
For the record, when I say "lower bounds", I mean that my father has an IQ of 85 and my mother seems to be in the same region although this hasn't been explicitly tested so I might be wrong.

how quickly they grasp concepts. I used to be at a sales firm in school, and i could always tell the dumb from the stupid because the stupid rither dont grasp what i said at all, or ask questions i had just answered. the smart people either asked questions i havent gone over yet, or would explain concepts like creating a demand for the customer that i had explained a few times in varying levels of detail. generally the dumb people are also the ones who would always complain about stupid shit like what coworker didnt like them to anybody who would listen while the intelligent are either reserved or would only complain about the biggest of problems which affected their ability to work negatively to close friends at work, which in my experience was almost always supervisors and bosses

i dont know entirely though. im of the opinion that intelligence doesnt mean that a person knows a lot or a little, but intelligence is how quickly someone can learn material, try to apply it to their lives, and are able to think creatively. noy everyone who is smart had the chance to go to school, but school and degrees dont make someone smart.

Dunning-Kruger. Applies to groups of people such as Flat Earthers. The less educated / the less information they have about something, the more confident they are correct.

There's a point at which someone is so absorbed into a wrong way of thinking, that any evidence to to contrary of their belief system is immediately discarded, no matter if it completely disproves their belief system.

You can see the same thing with climate change denial, the evidence exists, you can present it and discuss it / debunk their fallacies, and they refuse to change their opinion because it's a belief system to them, not an empirical scientific understanding.

I can size up someone's intelligence just by how they act.
I don't do it intentionally or even look for any specific traits, but I can tell fairly accurately, and I tend to try and befriend the smarter people I meet.
It's completely anecdotal self-wank though, and I wouldn't talk to anyone about it apart from on this Thai oil wrestling forum.

>>8882435
I would say the best test of someone's intelligence or lack thereof is observing how they react to something they don't understand, most people when you expose them to a new form of technology or a problem will at least make some attempt to solve the problem or use the technology, very intelligent people may be able to intuitively figure it out through experimentation and observation of the results, a less intelligent but still smart person may ask someone for advice or look up instructions/read the manual, an average person may fumble their way through via trial and error or ask for the assistance of someone better qualified, a stupid person may utterly fuck up and quit without solving the issue or after making it worse, a complete moron will fuck up and demand others fix it for them and the dumbest of the dumb don't even try at all just allow the situation to stagnate or worsen because they don't care.
I see examples of these reactions daily, and no matter the problem people's reactions are consistent with their intelligence.

What I meant is that the very intelligent person uses trial and error but also learns from the experience and afterwards will remember how it works perhaps even being able to explain why it works., but the average person accidentally got the desired result and will not retain it.

There is research suggesting that humans are generally good at pinpointing who has relatively higher or lower general intelligence

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/per.799/abstract

This study analyzed 20 separate groups that studied together for one year. The better a subject did on an IQ test in genral, the smarter their group mates thought they were.

http://neuron4.psych.ubc.ca/~dpaulhus/research/SHYNESS/downloads/JPSP%2097%20with%20Morgan.pdf

This paper also found that peer discussions, after 5 of them, enabled people to predict relative IQ.

gods are not so absurd of a creation. if you really don't understand why people believe in god, you don't understand man's search for meaning.

only the young wish there was no god. nihilism is true terror, and it's debatable whether or not one can truly be a nihilist, for the same reason why the species as a whole seems to have relative morals, but the individual and even society is pretty morally rigid. it's debatable whether or not one can actually be a moral relativist.

even if one can actually manage the psychopathy of moral relativism (you probably can't) that you ought be a moral relativist is an ethical claim in the first, so by pursuing it in the first place, you are being pretty dogmatic.

and yet, you're seeking validation on an internet forum, alone.

in 100 years, human genetic engineering will make children as smart as you believe you are.

you're smart enough to get into stanford, but not smart enough to see your own limitations. you're just a monkey. you shit an inch from where you piss. and you ejaculate from the same hole you piss from (though will never do so into a female, of course).

i believe you have narcissistic personality disorder, which means you probably have above average intelligence. when you aren't absorbed with self-hatred, your lack of empathy allows those neurons to be used for other purposes.

A narcissist views himself as "a big piece of shit who is the center of the universe". there are cures, though it is rare that the narcissist believes there is anything wrong with him (despite the preponderance of signs he himself can see: being alone constantly, not having a mate, seeking validation for his grandiose fantasies on chinese cartoon websites).

the 12 step program teaches humility. but your grandiosity is like a drug. my friend described it as "withdrawing from yourself", which takes enormous discipline, and for the narcissist, whose delusional outlook makes it impossible to maintain a constant level of self-esteem, it is very, very difficult. But i believe in you.

they come in different shapes, but the constant characteristics is the lack of sense of humour, it's like they don't even try.

the iq literally only tests your ability to see a pattern into random figures,how is that an accurate estimate of your intelligence?

>>8887937
>Not if they've been awake for 36 hours straight.
I meant under normal circumstances, of course.

>>8888030
There's only one kind of intelligence. Your ability to see patters in random figures is closely related to your ability to think logically, communicate, grasp abstract concepts, etc. People who score high on IQ tests are very likely to score high on a test that measure any of these abilities.

>>8885330
Agnostic: A (without) gnostic (knowledge) of (in this case) theism.

Atheist: A (without) theist (belief in god(s)).

Theist: belief in god(s).

An agnostic does not have belief in god(s). This is the definition of an atheist. Someone who does not have belief in god(s).

If you like to pose as an agnostic, know that you are also an atheist.

>>8882435
That is a tricky one. When comparing characteristics you'll probably use yourself as a reference which leads to shitty results since you might have an IQ of 80 and everyone above or underneath is the only reault you'll get. Thats the same if you have an IQ of 140. Making assumptions based on characteristics will not lead you to any right answer. In my experience people with higher IQ sometimes behave like people with comparatively low IQ but when it comes to some topics they'll prove their level. So yeah your question is quite tricky.. especially when some say that ppl whom think they're right from the bat are not smart should rethink that because that is the characteristic of an idiot and a high IQ person. Ex: you can only really learn something new when you know that what you taught before was wrong. Only way to do that is to think that what you taught was right. So... yeah... maybe the test is the only way to know..(beside having the highest IQ ever and know that, in that case you'll know that everyone else's is lower but the one who's not been tested yet might have a higher IQ)
