‘Only losers care about their IQ’
- Stephen Hawking
This feels a lot like pretty people saying that looks don’t matter all of a sudden.
I wonder if there’s a relation with people saying that what they have is not valuable.
Don’t confuse IQ with intelligence.
It’s so funny, because these IQ tests are normally just ways to stroke someone’s ego before talking them out of their personal information or trying to sell them something. I’ve never actually seen someone post a result below 100, much less below 80.
Somebody once made one where it showed the test taker a high result, but anybody else who viewed the result was shown a low result. I believe the way it worked was that the test gave you a hyperlink to share the result, but and then if the same person who took the test accessed the link, identified via cookies or other tracking measure, they were shown a high result, and anybody else got to see a result just above retarted.
A+ trolling
IQ is not an objective measure of intelligence, because intelligence is colloquial and subjective. If I told you I invented an instrument that could objectively score every human on their beauty, you’d see the problem right away.
IQ was a project of Eugenics. It’s trash science.
IQ is a basic tool that allows a quick interpretation of someone’s mental capacity. It’s like BMI. Yes, some edge cases don’t fit the general rule. However, if you have room temperature IQ, there’s a solid chance you’re dumber than a box of rocks.
No, studies on IQ have shown that the test design often assume something about the population taking the test. If you produce a test for British students in secondary school and give it to miners in Zimbabwe, then the miners will probably achieve way lower scores than is it expected. This is because the students are more used to taking tests. IQ tests have been used in this way to promote racist ideas, when the real problem is the methodology behind IQ tests.
There’s a whole book about this, “the mismeasure of man”, by Stephen Jay Gould.

“If you use the wrong test and get bad results it means the test is wrong.” No you dummy it means you don’t know how to test.
I’m sorry but the guy in OP is not a Zimbabwean miner. He’s a white ass man and therefore shouldn’t be affected by the pretend racistness of IQ test.
Oh look, this again. At this point, I have seen this “my IQ is so high posts low IQ” thing so much, I assume it is faked. At the very least it tells me that the account is likely just a ragebait for engagement account. They probably don’t even care about politics.
So because I’m in a hotel room and unable to sleep I took that test in particular just to see, A, what the test was like and B, you know. Just to see.
Getting the results costs 10 fucking dollars.
I imagine the vast majority of people who obtain those results are on the bottom half of the spectrum.
Getting the results costs 10 fucking dollars.
Paying that money means you failed.
The real IQ test is the fees we dodged along the way…
