Everyone tells me how intelligent I am and think of me as some sort of genius

Your family just tells you that in hopes that you get even a tiny bit of confidence so you can one day move out of your parents basement. ( they don't actually think you are a genius)

same here user but I have the solution:
>don't think you are intelligent
>think everybody is dumb
this work to me user

you probably have a good work ethic and use logic well

you probably just know a lot of things, most people confuse knowledge with intelligence

IQ tests are just as accurate at measuring intelligence as MBTI is at measuring personality, 0%.

I get 105-115 but people swear that mine has to be higher, turns out I just memorize a ton of shit and use it on a daily basis so I guess application is everything, maximize what you're given and processing speed doesn't matter that much

you can trick people into you're intelligent by just reading a lot
it really is a bad thing that so many kids are told they're smart when the most they've ever done is comperehend stuff somebody else came up with

everyone around you is retarded

independent thought is a meme, we just incorporating preexisting ideas and synthesize what we learn together only to find that someone else beat us to it thousands of years ago
welcome to human civilization

It means you are surrounded by very stupid people

It doesn't take much to impress normalfags. There was a period where I used to watch shitty science videos on YT in my free time and people thought I was a genius because I memorized a lot of useless data.

I'm fucking lazy but managed to do pretty well on standardised testing. I never studied and barely passed classes

it doesn't matter if somebody else figured it out if you reproduced it relatively independently

this is kind of how I feel with the book I'm writing, so I agree

do you know what your subscore breakdown was?
low working memory and processing speed can be a sign of ADHD

I have already self diagnosed myself with autism, don't tack on ADHD too

the two are frequently comorbid, I have both

you are probably one of the smartest people where you live, you just happen to live around people who are mostly dumber than you

remember when i showed up in high school somehow everyone labeled me inside of their skulls as intelligent (i did study, used logic to memorize and kinda knew whats important for teachers to give you a good grade) and then when i stopped studying hard and my performance was low, i was still somehow smart and intelligent to them

>127 is
>never studied pass all my classes with d's and C's
>Am now a useless, fatass neet with no friends
Iq is a fucking joke

Memorizing random stuff isn't necessarily what impresses them. You can just repeat everything without any context like an autismo scientist and still be seen as an autist.

whats iq got to do with you being a lazy faggot

that's just the lasting effect of first impressions.

Well if they think you're smart that must mean they're dumber than you.

not really, smart people can still be bad judges of character

Average fish in a retarded pond. Enjoy your (You) fuckface.

your intelligence is practical, and not meme numbers. use it well.

or they saw me as free workforce bc im stupid and kinda autistic
>hey user youre so smart
>so, yeah, we need some help with homework and tests and shit
i was just shit at saying no and they knew how to use me

Nothing, which is why it's useless. I would even argue that intelligence breeds laziness. Why do you think so many faggots are always saying tfw intelligent but lazy
Why would a smart person work when he can get away with doing nothing for the same prize?

intelligence is kind of hyperbolic in the grand scheme of things, as long as our species reproduces and stays alive it's not exactly considered a biological imperative

>intelligence breeds laziness
yeah if your parents didnt mind your grades, the time you spend plaing etc as long as you pass
THAT breeds laziness, cause youre telling the kid not to study if he doesnt have to and for intelligent kids that means never
so they end up being fucking neets

I had a 's and B's for most my school time, only I truly stopped giving a hoot after junior year. Showed up maybe 60% of the time, still passed. It completely ruined me though, because it did teach me that I could get away with it
Worst part is I sign up for jobs and I almost always get them, but I just decide I don't care and stop going after a couple weeks . I'm probably severely mentally ill

>I sign up for jobs and I almost always get them, but I just decide I don't care and stop going after a couple weeks
yeah, you are user
in my country this would be a sign to go and kys

Well even for adults. Why would you do more than you have to? Why work hard for resources when you're smart enough to work with minimum resources? It's like a hybrid car with a 50 gallon gas tank.

What country is that user origngnirnfjj

im not saying you should do more than you have to when youre an adult, but if you get too lazy when youre a kid, you have high chances of becoming a neet living off of your parents' money
and if you think thats ok then go ahead

THIS THIS THIS
Holy shit this.
>get called smart or intelligent
>say no, i just know a lot of random things, but thank you
>get called modest and shy and really smart
>say no, really, i'm not that smart, i just know some things that you don't, you probably know tons that i don't know too
>"oh don't be so hard on you're self user, you're so smart!"
>they leave
>go back to being autistic in peace

Because when you're growing, you need to learn discipline and work ethic so that you will have that to use when, as an adult, you inevitably encounter situations that require you to work hard

i know this feel. But I like to hope that i'm somewhat smart...

>Wow user you really know a lot about computers
>You built your own pc? You should go to harvard

>enroll in best uni in my country
>get called smart by classmates after introduction
>think I'm not, just know a lot of shit
>every teacher says I'm smart
>still think not, just understand shit well and can talk convincingly
>after some time stop attending classes because I'm bored
>still getting As on exams
>still liked by teachers even though they complain about me not attending shit
I guess I am smart huh

I'm only 138, people seem to assume I'm some kind of 160-tier genius just because I'm well-spoken and I know lots of stuff
