I support black genocide
they say smart people tend to underestimate their intelligence and dumb people overestimate

I'd put mine at like 130, but since I'm smart it's probably a much higher number

I do like having children's intelligence graded like an rpg

I've had professionally administered tests a few times, once in 1st grade, once when i was 19 and got checked by a psychiatrist for brain problems, and once when a family member was studying for her PhD in psychology and she practiced administering the test on me.

it's really high, but the interesting thing is that i am a big time moron in my day to day life. like for real if you focused on the things that i do slip up or do incorrectly or miss, it would be a HUGE list and it would seriously appear that i am retarded.

regardless, apparently when my brain is working properly, it is good at learning and stuff

also i have a psych degree and i know people put WAY too much emphasis on these numbers, but yeah the tests are pretty reliable and valid in a narrow sense

the iq formula used to be (mental age / chronological age) * 100. They changed it I guess.

it's in the 140s, but again i can't emphasize enough how simple and dumb i am just like everyone else. when i was a young child, people used to marvel at it and call me "GENIUS!" and it was really upsetting :(

having a high IQ doesn't mean you are wiser or more reliable or more trustworthy, it doesn't mean you have a perfect memory or whatever, it doesn't mean you are better than anyone in any way at all.

it just means your brain can adapt and learn things in a very effective way, but it's not always a good thing

there are plenty of people with high IQ's who are bad, who look like failures, who have simple pleb jobs, who are total stupid idiots like me

About a hundred years ago, yes.

The mental age/chronological age can only reasonably apply to children, which makes sense, because it was a feature of the original Stanford-Binet intelligence scale, which was given to children to check for those who were mentally deficient.

Why is there no "goku" or "I'm gay" choice in the poll? This is bullshit.

Also, there's only one IQ and it is the number "oval office". There's no reason to know what it is unless you want to join MENSA... but really if you want to join a club for cunts then you yourself are also a oval office.

that's because it doesn't mean poo poo. It was given to children to see how smart they could be. All the best scores came from rich children, who had a parent or someone else to teach them things

i get ahead of myself (a terrible problem for people with higher than average IQ's) and my emotional development isn't special or advanced so i face a lot of difficulties feeling like my brain is pushing me towards things but i'm not emotionally mature enough to handle the load of responsibilities and such



i've been trying to buckle down and focus on the basics, like a PreAP kid who is too excited and eager about getting a new math concept who rushes into it and forgets to follow the little seemingly stupid redundant steps which are really necessary.

i'm currently focusing on building up my grounding and base of firm values and stuff. having a heavy brain is not good when your foundation is weak.

You say this in a manner which suggests that the field is undeserving of attention or respect, which is a strong position to take given your apparent lack of accurate knowledge about it.

i believe weed is not good for the developing adolescent brain.

weed is great and all but adolescents should not be using it.

i've told kids to not use drugs using chinese foot binding as a metaphor for it's harmful effects. wrapping your feet tightly is rather benign and if you are an adult it won't hurt you, but putting that pressure on your developmental process causes deformity.
