why is there such an obsession with iq on sci?

Because it is the perfect measure of intelligence and the singe best predictor of success in all aspects of life.

>>9031005
Because it's the only thing neets with no self respect have to show for.

>>9031005
Statistics are very easy to manipulate.

>>9031008
intelligent people tend to be more miserable than dumb people

what the fuck is that

>>9031017
lol no

>>9031020
Looks like fat with strawberries and beans

>>9031005
It's measurable.

>>9031017
No
Miserable narcissists tend to think they're intelligent when they're not

>>9031005
Imagine you're a person obsessed with IQ.

>The results demonstrate that intelligence is a powerful predictor of success but, on the whole, not an overwhelmingly better predictor than parental SES or grades
School teaches you the same things that help you do well on IQ tests, so if you go to a good school you'll do well on IQ tests. Parental SES socio economical status is the single best predictor for success because it gives you access to the best schools.

it's the only known way we have that predicts success in a specific field with a good confidence.

>>9032162
I think >>9031008 anon was sarcastic here.

because they are all narcissists who require camouflage against whatever flaw they think defines their character

It's the only way for brainlets to feel good about their intelligence

>>9031005
because some people have such an intense need to feel better than other people that they go into stem fields and do mediocre so that they can pretend like memorising facts and equations makes them smarter

I usually collect from people that aren't 300+ being 420 IQ attracts a lot of it.

Tbh i would take the consensus of just one paper and when they talk about ses and grades do they take into account interactions?

>>9032966
>because some people have such an intense need to feel better than other people
I think you're right about that, but do you actually think this only applies to STEM?
I'd argue most other subjects are even worse in that regard.

lol iq

IQ Is arbitrary, you can study for those tests. I know lots of people who get majorly different scores when they/ve taken the tests at different points, its all a joke

im 148 and I've got a 3.0 and i never study, lots of ppl probably think I'm dumb, but I'm lazy and i don't care. the number doesn't change shit for me. my brother is 170+, but he's the most airheaded illogical person I've ever met. I'll do better in life, and not because of my iq

>>9033405
also, i've got a terrible mold allergy and gluten intolerance and i wanted extra time in school, so i loaded myself up to feel like shit before the test, i wouldn't have been able to handle any real conversation and I still got 148. The whole test is fucked and dumb

>>9032080
>I'm soooooo intelligent, look how miserable and edgy i am
>*sheaths katana*

>>9031005
It's a great way of swinging one's virtual dick without having to have actually put any effort into anything to show for it. That's because most people on /sci/ are high school students, too young or stupid to post in the diploma thread, or are lazy pieces of NEET shit that dream of going to an ivy someday, but don't want to work for it.

So instead, they use their arbitrarily determined number based on multiple areas of middle school level information in order to determine a gauge for their success, despite the fact they aren't going to work for it.

IQ measure of intelligence and predict success

Brainlets keep lying to themselves telling that IQ don't matter.

High IQ correlates with High Brain Volume, Years of Education & High Income.

Ashkenazi Girls crave for this Phenotype.
How can Brainlet Goyim even compete?

>>9033697
fuck when i saw this shit the first few times i laughed, but you've been going at this for fucking WEEKS now. this is real, unironic autism right here.

btw isn't ed actaully italian and only frauding his ashkenazi status?

>>9031005
People who don't know that IQ is an average in the responses in a non-globally agreed test for a population sample where 100 is the average of them all.

For some reason, people think that it's an absolute measurement, like a meter or a pound.

It's funny how IQ threads are always full of people who desperately reject the notion that IQ has any significance. Well guess what? IQ has been shown to correlate with every imaginable positive metric, over and over again.

But I guess they wouldn't know since they probably don't read scientific journals.

As for my own IQ, It was 143 the last time I got tested.

Guys, I'm thinking of doing an IQ test. I've played Brain Age 2 every day for 9 years so I think I could do pretty well. Do you think I should do it?

Here's a rhetorical question for IQ fags:

Could you explain, without google, how your IQ score is generated and what the number means? Additionally, are all IQ scores directly comparible?

>>9033743
True. I've never seen someone who doesn't believe in IQ even attempting to argue against this. They casually just ignore it.

>>9031005

Because /sci/ doesn't have achievements or anything to be proud of besides a number they have no control of.

If you have a certified high IQ and did nothing with it then you're nothing but a piece of shit. You had academic chances served on a silver plate and ended up wasting it

Shitpost about brainlets all you want, but in the end most of them are out there, living life and taking risks, while you shitpost on an anime imageboard trying to feel superior in front of other failures
