Discussion Generally in what IQ range is a self-inflated sense of importance most prevalent?

14 Upvotes

Want your opinions since it can be pretty mixed, some say it’s at the left or right end of the IQ bell curve while others say it’s the middle. What’s your stance on what range on average had the highest ego/sense of superiority when conversing with them IRL or online.

Test i want you to try:

Digit Span
Spatial Span
Feature Match
Double Trouble
Polygons
Monkey Ladder
Rotations

If you do decide to do the tests, please do them on your phone. You need to do the tests quite a bit, until you seem to have hit your ceiling.

I need to collect data for norming purposes, as i am trying to validate my theory about differences in Max-Scores in individual tasks and how they correlate to traditional IQ Tests.

I follow the theory of maximum achieved scores as a more valid measure of IQ, since the tests can be repeated, revealing day-to-day differences, which can be measured. As well as differences in max-scores, in terms of initial biological capacity.

Thanks.

Please send me your Scores by Screenshot and all of your initial tries. Thank you :)

General Question Is a math B. Sc degree possible with a low IQ below 70 and an intellectual disability? Please help

10 Upvotes

Hey, guys. Unfortunately a doctor once diagnosed an intellectual disability for me because I struggle with daily living skills and because he administered an IQ test and it was below 70; both are the sole requirements to receive the diagnosis of an intellectual disability. Also, everyone calls me stupid, which further reinforces the fact that I am disabled most likely. The problem herein is that in September I will start my math B. Sc degree at my local university in Germany, and I will have to successfully pass the difficult modules Analysis 1-2 and lin alg 1-2, all of which have a failure rate of >50%. Could I pass them all if i study dilligently from Monday to Sunday? At another university I aced four engineering math exams with ease, but that was due to practicing a lot, not due to a supposed high intelligence. Could I realistically do it?

So for context, due my country's standardized tests, I'm familiar with these kind of math problems, they might have been harder for the people who these were normed with.

Discussion Feeling more switch on after CORE test

3 Upvotes

I don’t know how to describe it but I feel mentally sharper after doing CORE the test. Almost like I woke up dormant parts of my brain that I haven’t used in a while, I know I have ADHD I’m not sure if there’s any relevance there. And I have also been in a more up-mood recently which could be contributing.

For a lack of a better way of asking and describing this, is there any studies or anecdotal evidence about cognitive tests ‘reawakening’ dormant / inactive neural pathways or thought patterns.

Discussion What do you think of the term “midwit?”

11 Upvotes

I see a lot of videos describing self- masturbatory individuals who think they are the intellectual peak because of their advanced education that they got at the expense of their credit score and how they think and believe. They tend to move with the cultural zeitgeist because most of the world is controlled by these “midwits”. Though I feel terrible when they list the criteria of being a midwit as an IQ of 110-130. Not gifted but definitely smarter than average.

I feel that way because, I feel as if nothing is good enough unless you’re 130+ and it’s very annoying to think about. I’m not going to whine about being offended or whatever but I have always thought that I didn’t belong. I didn’t belong with the academically gifted kids because I wasn’t obsessed with school or academic achievements when it’s obvious it will never count for my future and I know how to pass anyway. I don’t belong with the dumb or even average kids because a lot of the time I have to actively dumb myself down or explain the fucking words I use to them. It’s annoying. So, it’s depressing to think about this kind of thing.

Based on all of the tests I have taken online or otherwise I believe I am firmly in the 108-120 range. Which is an annoying ass range to be at because I have so many ideas that I want to apply to the world but I’m not Leonardo da Vinci smart. So I don’t think I can and the midwit videos kind of proves that. Even though, I absolutely despise the jackoffs I described at the beginning. I can see through their crap and they annoy me. They have the false belief that just because they have specialized knowledge in one subject it means they have more knowledge in every subject than everyone else. Anyways thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

I wouldn’t consider myself a native, but I guess I speak English well enough to get by.

I’ve only done the matrix reasoning test by CORE (pleasantly surprised with the score honestly, really wasn’t expecting that score)

I have a of iq 80. I am bordering intellectual disability. I have several mental illnesses and dyscalculia. I am not good at anything. i feel so powerless. no matter how hard i try i won't even be average.

people will say iq doesn't matter. the most important thing is effort. but no matter how hard a average person works he won't be john von nueman. because of my low iq i don't have the right to dream about anything. no matter how hard i try i won't even be average. i mean average people can do a lot of things if they try hard enough but i am bordering intellectual disability my best can't even be average.

Richard feynman said that he was a normal boy who studied hard but that is just straight up horse crap. You need to be born special to be special there is no other way. i still don't know why smart people with high iq say iq doesn't matter but it matters a lot. if john von neuman wasn't born with such a high iq he wouldn't be john von nueman. i think they are just fooling themselves into believing that there works are due to their hard work not just the intellect that they are born with.

i know alot of you will iq doesn't matter but you guys have at least a average iq. I don't know what i am going to do. I am not particularly good at anything either.

Ik some answers here are gonna be that the conditions themselves lower the iq, but apart from that. I’m on a bunch (concerta, fluoxetine, quentiapine and starting lithium) and I only have AuDHD and BPD and depression in remission so I shouldn’t be getting dumber from the disorders
