You are just too smart for us, Sven.
That’s not high enough to be super successful. I think the average IQ of a college educated person is 115
there are different types of intelligence
you can be a genius at calculating numbers and etc but a dumbass in, for example, emotional and/or social Intelligence
That's low tho.
it seems that you are not just being yourself
I'm too high IQ to relate to normal people.
On some of those tests you can fake 130 iq because a bunch of questions are testing to see if you can figure out an xor gate by yourself
But i want to be smart like elon musk or something i want to make big bucks not just be good at math
>smart like elon musk
t. r/science
I'm three standard deviations above the mean. Doesn't help you all that much if you're also really lazy and unlikable.
125 isn't that high
So what can i be with this IQ? Sort of successful?
>fundamental logic problems are found in a test of ability to think logically
How else are they supposed to operationalize it?
Your shrink lied to make you feel better lol you stupid
>125 isn't that high
It means you're smarter than 95 percent of your age group (assuming 15 SD), which is pretty high.
Doesn't mean shit. The average person is dumb as hell. 50% is even dumber
Ok, so what? If i am still above average smart how come i live a far below average life?
What do you do for a living (if anything)?
Intelligence doesn't translate to happiness. Most of the time it's the exact opposite. Most geniuses is history were deeply unhappy. However, if you were both wise and smart, you'd be smart enough to find a way to be happy. Read philosophy about how to pursue happiness
An IT slave?
>Doesn't mean shit.
It means exactly what I just said, at the very least. It's a quantitative statement, and you can't really argue with that.
>how come i live a far below average life?
Because that's how you've lived your life. IQ only predicts some of the variance in life success, in a statistical sense. It doesn't say anything about you as an individual, other than place you at one of the tail ends of a statistical distribution of ability.
>What do you do for a living (if anything)?
I've wasted my youth dilly-dallying at university and that's where I still am.
>eq
Gay meme
He was talking about success not happyness you dumb shit
Same thing. Success doesn't just come naturally. Put that intelligence to work and undertake something
Keep telling that to yourself. In my high school class I had at least 3 other classmates with IQ over 140.
If your IQ really is that high OP, then why don't you know already?
Oh wait, you're not actually intelligent else you would already know, you're just a whining little faggot.
I didn't figure it out myself dipshit, i was told by my shrink after we did a test, it wasn't just IQ it was for other things too.
I was originally sent there to have them check for psychosis and i did a ton of tests, an IQ test being among them.
I'm not OP. It's also not something I need to tell myself. It's statistics (math).
I was just saying that knowing certain things beforehand will save you from solving the problems urself
there are other factors to success besides IQ
do you think a footballer has a high IQ, or a singer?
it's all opportunities and networking
