The way you speak seems so considerate, smart and kind. There's different types of intelligence and they only test some of them in IQ tests because that's the only types they know how to properly test. Good that you're speaking publicly about your struggles, you're inspiring.

Yeah Trump has a “high IQ” and this man here is certainly more grounded and smart and Trump became president - funny old world but it goes to suggest to not be overly obsessive about IQ - hard work and genuine character and enthusiasm will see you a good way in life
You are making no excuses, you don’t complaint about the hand you got dealt, and you have the dignity to power through. Good work buddy! Keep it up!! Cheers from Texas.
He is making an excuse of having iq 70, which is clearly not the case. His math score on that very test was above average, he is very articulate, clearly there is something else going on - some sort of asperger/afhd seems much more likely. He is not low iq at all.
I know right? He seems very competent and I don't think he actually has a low IQ, I can't say for sure of course, I'm neither a professional nor do I know him personally, but it just seems unlikely@@pepefrogic3034
You definitely have a higher number of autistic traits than average. It is the reason I enjoy your personality and your videos. I have autism. Autism is simply an alternative life strategy - one that is less focused on socialising and more focused on seeking truth and gaining resources.
I've watched a couple of your videos now, and have subscribed. I absolutely love your honesty and your grind. If nobody else is proud of you for being on this journey to make yourself the best version of yourself possible, I'm proud of you, and you ought to be proud of yourself too 👏
I feel for you bro, I have aspergers but got 140+ IQ - i can't imagine how tough it is for you but I'm so impressed by how hard you're working at it. My bad social skills hold me back but my IQ carries me.
I work in neuroscience and I get so elated watching you and yet also so sad. We have so many solutions now for people like you, but they are available at a small number of poaces worldwide and they are a bit expensive (think thousands of eur, not tens of thousands) msotly because the diagnostic part is expensive. but i absolutely love your attitude. you’re a happy man. it warms my heart.
Just come across your channel, Mark. Not sure why it came up in my feed but I've very glad it did. You're a great guy, your outlook is so Stoic and the way you are working to be the best version of yourself that you can be is really inspiring, so thank you for sharing 1+ sub from me
I'm an Aspie, definitely have autism in my case. You don't strike me as a fellow autist, but it's tough to be sure. You could have one of the many comorbidities that come with Aspergers. Autism seems to result in a spiky IQ, really strong at some things and not so good at others. That's how it played out in my life. Top of my class at uni in my subject of study and barely passable in the humanities. And I can not spell or punctuate properly.
Can I offer some advice as someone older than you but of a similar persuasion? Try and do things you don't think you'd enjoy. You might find something that you really enjoy and can get obsessed with. Have you ever tried archery or caving or boxing or learning to cook or bake or something? I'd listen to your podcast.
Respect Mark, you're right that your IQ has nothing to do with not reading books. I had/have bad problems with handwriting due to dyspraxia and a rare birth condition but i remember being told i had a reading age of 16 when i was 9 and i literally never read a thing
Interesting that he has a growth mindset which is one of the highest predictors of success. Unlike some gifted people who give up at the first sign of failure he is willing to persist and try and improve. That's having a growth mindset 😊 That's Carol Dweck's Mindset Theory. Look it up!❤

8 hours working day with only 30 mins of work - that’s Great Britain and Ireland in general so don’t claim that for people with low IQ (smile) I have a son of three and we’re off on this spectrum disorder journey now - don’t know why you stopped posting - your personality and insights are great. Love to hear how you are getting on. I think you’ve set a low bar for yourself personally with macdonalds - they want factory like robots in a routine which might not suit your ability. But I’m sure you will find something that’s sustainable and makes you tick.
I agree Mark, use your own intuition. Paid professionals such as teachers and psychologists are definitely conditioned to be compliant and align with this 'book' version of how to act, perform their duties and view the world. As a consequence many behave in a rote fashion rather than taking a real and conscious interest in not just the tactical aspect of their job but also the bigger picture to think outside the doctrine and consider alternate possibilities and approaches. With that said, do not underestimate the knowledge that they have, at times they can seem off the mark but they have an insight you have missed. I see the world as you do. However it has been my personal experience that by taking the time to see how others can be right rather than dismissing them as outright wrong can lead to insights that will shift and better inform your world view because it may not be true as they voice it but hidden in their message maybe something your missing. Bias is your enemy. Good luck, I would love to see you get to university, you have great potential, if I was to guess, I would say that your mind is particularly suited to macro economics and strategic thinking. Maybe something in finance or IT Secuity might be the challenge your looking for.
you're a good lad mark, stop being so hard on your self mate. School is over, whats done is done leave it in the past. You have a job, work on your self and improve your future. There is no point being stuck in the past. You are a good comminicator and you don't come across as low IQ. Don't think too much into it, you can do anything you put your mind to just give your self time.
Well at least you got a good attitude about it after this long. But whether you agree with your diagnosis or not, its gonna affect you... I'm also on the "Autistic spectrum", have ADHD, life seems like its on Hardmode... You seem like your in Europe, so I don't know if you got "free healthcare" over there, but if I were you... I'd try to get the help I needed, counseling whatever... being tenacious you can find success... I hope you can figure out a plan & get your life together.
You have got to work through this and get over your childhood. You're a good adult. Can't let your passed eat you up pal. Hope all is well across the ocean.
You communicate better than some of my friends. I wouldn't peg you as having an IQ of 70. Have you noticed your communication and verbal reasoning skills are better now than they were?
I don't want to internet diagnose, but I don't think he has an IQ problem so much as multiple specific learning difficulties. He has identified his learning difficulties himself [previous vids] and developed his own strategy, he learns and improves if he learns for 20 to 30 minutes and he deffo cant do 8 hours. Just the ABILITY to identify your own learning issues and work out solutions indicates an IQ way over 70. Thats 90+ level, probably 95. I think he has just been allowed to fall through the cracks in the education system. If he had gone to a private school he would be a middle manager
@@piccalillipit9211 Didn't he say he did go to a private in a previous video? And part of the problem was isolation through them being high achievers? I may have this wrong, but I think that's what he said
@@martyspandex Sorry I meant to say private specialist school. But even so, if he went to a private school and was neglected like this, thats utterly shocking. Its bad enough that it happens in state schools. This was my other comment "You linked inattentive teachers, Low IQ, possible autism, NUTRITION, and Occam's razor [simpelest solution likely correct] as combined and interacting factors in your struggle with education and you know you have to identify the route cause of a problem before you can fix it - 40% of UK population cant do that" I think he is an intelligent person who for whatever reason has not learned the foundational building blocks of education and knowledge - I think he needs an FMRI to see what is going on when he tries to learn a new task. A guy that makes this video should be able to learn to flip burgers in a week, not 3 months. BUT these use different parts of the brain
Have you ever thought about resitting the tests as well? Try it before something you enjoy, after something you enjoy, after a good hearty meal, starved with nothing but a measly handful of seeds on the other side of it. I think there are too many factors. When I was getting tested I was told it was very important, so I stressed and thought of it as a proper test or exam. In another setting, I could have felt more relaxed and less focused on any single task. Just an idea if that diagnosis is really bothering you. You're probably not going to do worse. Second opinion is always valid in these areas and there are many formats the test can take.
I am not a massive fan of these IQ tests because they should be universally applicable. But they're not. If you give that type of test to an aborigenous person living in the jungle, they wouldn't have the slightest idea what the hell they're looking at. But they can find their way around the jungle, hunt, find food and survive. And that requires intelligence. I do like your approach and attitude however! I think independently of a person's IQ we should try and be the best we can. You're right - A person shouldn't let some lable define what you can or can't do. And yes, I agree, th people in the office are rotting away and so are their brains! 😂 I currently work in an office and it's boring most of the time. Also, well done for paying attention to diet. I wok with Nutritional therapists that help children with Autism through their diet, it's really important. Also, get your genes checked if you can - COMT and MTHFR are usually implied with Autism. Based on the results you can change your diet to help those genes in your body work better.
While IQ is somewhat important to having a successful life, so is EQ. You seem to have a very high EQ because you are self-aware, self-motivated, and creative. Gary Vee, who is a very successful entrepreneur, always mentions that he has a high EQ but a low IQ. Another example Would be Jack Ma who has a very high EQ and was able to create a trillion-dollar company because of his EQ not IQ.
Oh... Yeah i saw 1 of your other videos about work and saved it into my Autism folder I have on TH-cam because it sounds a lot like me. But yeah i have the samething you have but my IQ is 130 but i can't find work do to people get very upset with me because i don't small talk enough with them. I can do many jobs but when i get there and when i these work. The co-workers and customers wouldn't normally complain about me to the point that I have to get forced out of the company or this fired. I'm interesting hearing your storie and i hope things get better.
I´ve recently realised that nutrition plays a way bigger role than society/the healthcare system actually realizes and it´s sad. Poor nutrition/toxins are the main cause of most (direct and indirectly influenced) Problems (including a few gene mutations), like Concentration Problems, Motivation Problems, Addiction, Cancer, ADHD (dopamine Imbalance in the brain), Autism Spectrum, Schizophrenia, Depression (Serotonin is made by splitting Tryptophan, which is a Protein we consume) etc. So the things that you have been realising are lying in a very simple but deeply rooted and misunderstood/ignored Issue. I love finding People who are starting to understand that and I think IQ is overrated because it doesn´t measure every type of intellegence and I actually think you are very smart!
Don't let IQ tests hassle you. There's more to intelligence than what they measure. Focus on your strengths, whether it's book smarts or practical skills. Putting knowledge into action, especially if it earns money, is smart. Practice and projects are key to growth, whether they're profitable or not And you must learn before you earn so Hands-On skill from a book May someday give you that extra money you need and you won't be concerned with how smart anybody is testing you out You'll obtain respect and that's what you're looking for.
Every bit as helpful as Jeffrey A. Ford's channel The Autistic Genius. Mr. Ford has both autism and a Genius IQ. Yet how much these two have in common!
I don't believe Aspergers has anything to do with IQ. My son was diagnosed with Aspergers about the same age as you were. He struggles majorly socially but has a masters degree and is highly intelligent. You are also highly intelligent, I don't care what the IQ tests say.
Dude - you definitely have a higher iq than you are testing. I have autism - I was tested with a verbal/conceptual iq and performance/concrete iq. 140+ on the VIQ but only about 90 on the PIQ. This basically means that there is A LOT more I understand and is going on in my head than I can actually show people.
3:59 Hiya Mark. I like your badge ☺️ what’s white collar workers? It made me laugh cause I imagined them like dogs with collars or somethin 😮😅 Thanks. How’s the job at Mcdonalds? Are they ok with you? Thanks. I hope they’re ok with you. I heard from one of my friends she lives in England that employers must make reasonable adjustments to help employees who struggle with stuff like learning and doing things. If any employer gives you grief talk with someone from Social like a social worker maybe they can fight your corner or somethin. Thanks.
In the old days, in factories, the workers were wearing blue-collar shirts and the managers white-collar shirts. Nowadays, blue-collar refer to manual labour, and white-collar to office workers. Generally speaking, white-collar employees have more skills and earn more than blue-collar workers.
He shouldn't take advice from anyone just because they have a high IQ. High IQ people can still have broken thinking; they're still human. He should be careful of who he takes advice from. Even a well-intentioned person could give advice that would be great for themselves, but fundamentally incompatible with the person getting the advice. Not to say you'd give bad advice, but using IQ as a sole qualifier isn't ideal lol.
@@Data-qj7mobla bla bla, this dude has a high IQ which means he's smarter than Mark, Wich means that he can give better advices since his level of cognitive capacity are higher than the average...So just stop dude this is not Twitter go have a speech there! people are here to be realistic even when the truth hurts....
@@pavopapa5825this is where ignorant comes into play having an IQ doesn't mean you have all the answer to very problems ever it just means you are able to retain more information that most people and problem solved faster. Having Information is important but lived in experience is far greater. I would never take advice from anyone who used their high iq as their only thing they can offer as it come across as very narcissists.
*THE LEVEL OF REASONING* in this video is higher than most UK Government ministers. I do not think for one second that you are anything close to IQ70. You linked inattentive teachers, Low IQ, possible autism, NUTRITION, and Occam's razor [simpelest solution likely correct] as combined and interacting factors in your struggle with education and you know you have to identify the route cause of a problem before you can fix it - 40% of UK population cant do that
If you are autistic is nothing wrong with being autistic learning disabilities can go with being autistic my not only autistic, but also dyslexic, dyscalcula, dyspraxic and possibly add, there are some traits quite a lot of autistic ppl myself included have, such as dificulty making and keeping friends, need lot of time to recharge from socialising, sensory impairments, meltdown, ablity to hyperfocus ( this is also prelevent in hdd and adhd) and intense intrests need to research everything there is to know about that topic and or person you are attracted too. Iq test are a crock of shi* it mistakenly did one in 2012 as i was led to do one instead of get assessed for autism. Another trait being very trusting anyway i score 73 or around therr i didnt slle much the night before so i was a bit tired and i hate tests. My point being iq test are ablist and exclude vast amounty of knowlege from no western people such as first natuons people and the knowledge about how to survive off the land, what plants make the best medicine ect It great you want to improve you knowledge but dont let that be the sole guiding force just because you want to be accepted by neurotypicals and be in a job that allows to to make a living. You are good enough already with the right supports you can work in your dream career.
So you had above average math score on that IQ test you always reference, your sister got to top college, your verbal skills are top notch, wow. No wonder noone takes that test result of iq 70 seriously.
@@markmolloy1381 I think that if you're really good at math, try to find something math related to do. Maybe become a CPA and see where you can go from there depending on how good your math skills are 🤷🏽♀️
It’s not possible having Aspergers syndrome and having low IQ. All autistics level 1 (including Aspergers) have normal IQ, which is a criteria for the diagnosis in the DSM.
Keep living and keep learning Mark. I have to say you do seem a little autistic in your videos, and I can say is if you are, indulge in your special interests. You can learn a lot about the world by accident if it's connected to your special interest. For example I learned about history and geo-politics through my interest in aviation.
He really isn’t. Today I also realised I am very much like him and make use of very similar syntax in my speech. But no, he’s not trolling, unfortunately 😢. It hurts honestly because it looks like he’s trying very hard.
i can see you are autistic i can see that, i am autistic as well. there is one thing i discovered about iq tests they are not designed that well when it comes to autistic people and your scoring can very when you take them so i find them pointless thing to base yourself on. the greatest thing anyone can have is drive to go as far you can, i found thew problem is the people that try to pull you down.
I think you’re confusing two different concepts. I mean from your video you seem to have coherency and capabilities in speech and if you truly had a low IQ you’d be incapable of: using more complex expressions, coherently communicating and understanding the complexities of diagnostic procedures. It would be interesting to know if, for example you struggle to understand that chicken nuggets should be placed in a different section to fries, as mentioned in another video or if you actually struggle to convert these thoughts into body actions which is a sign of neurological brain impairments which is a symptom of ASD. Also poor communication and decision making abilities are common with Autism.
you talk like a man with high intelligence, that's because you have high intelligence. The problem isn't you. The problem is how they grade intelligence. I have an IQ of 130 (apparently). You are more intelligent than me

I don't believe Aspergers has anything to do with IQ. My son was diagnosed with Aspergers about the same age as you were. He struggles majorly socially but has a masters degree and is highly intelligent. You are also highly intelligent, I don't care what the IQ tests say.
Dude - you definitely have a higher iq than you are testing. I have autism - I was tested with a verbal/conceptual iq and performance/concrete iq. 140+ on the VIQ but only about 90 on the PIQ.
This basically means that there is A LOT more I understand and is going on in my head than I can actually show people.
What is the VIQ?
3:59 Hiya Mark. I like your badge ☺️ what’s white collar workers? It made me laugh cause I imagined them like dogs with collars or somethin 😮😅 Thanks. How’s the job at Mcdonalds? Are they ok with you? Thanks. I hope they’re ok with you. I heard from one of my friends she lives in England that employers must make reasonable adjustments to help employees who struggle with stuff like learning and doing things. If any employer gives you grief talk with someone from Social like a social worker maybe they can fight your corner or somethin. Thanks.
In the old days, in factories, the workers were wearing blue-collar shirts and the managers white-collar shirts. Nowadays, blue-collar refer to manual labour, and white-collar to office workers. Generally speaking, white-collar employees have more skills and earn more than blue-collar workers.
im seriously incredibly proud of you man. let me know if you ever need guidance. I have a pretty high iq.
He shouldn't take advice from anyone just because they have a high IQ. High IQ people can still have broken thinking; they're still human. He should be careful of who he takes advice from. Even a well-intentioned person could give advice that would be great for themselves, but fundamentally incompatible with the person getting the advice. Not to say you'd give bad advice, but using IQ as a sole qualifier isn't ideal lol.
@@Data-qj7mobla bla bla, this dude has a high IQ which means he's smarter than Mark, Wich means that he can give better advices since his level of cognitive capacity are higher than the average...So just stop dude this is not Twitter go have a speech there! people are here to be realistic even when the truth hurts....
@@Data-qj7moagreed 👍
@@pavopapa5825this is where ignorant comes into play having an IQ doesn't mean you have all the answer to very problems ever it just means you are able to retain more information that most people and problem solved faster. Having Information is important but lived in experience is far greater. I would never take advice from anyone who used their high iq as their only thing they can offer as it come across as very narcissists.
You definitely should retake an iq test mark
*THE LEVEL OF REASONING* in this video is higher than most UK Government ministers. I do not think for one second that you are anything close to IQ70.
You linked inattentive teachers, Low IQ, possible autism, NUTRITION, and Occam's razor [simpelest solution likely correct] as combined and interacting factors in your struggle with education and you know you have to identify the route cause of a problem before you can fix it - 40% of UK population cant do that
Your absolutely gorgeous. Just sayin...
If you are autistic is nothing wrong with being autistic learning disabilities can go with being autistic my not only autistic, but also dyslexic, dyscalcula, dyspraxic and possibly add, there are some traits quite a lot of autistic ppl myself included have, such as dificulty making and keeping friends, need lot of time to recharge from socialising, sensory impairments, meltdown, ablity to hyperfocus ( this is also prelevent in hdd and adhd) and intense intrests need to research everything there is to know about that topic and or person you are attracted too. Iq test are a crock of shi* it mistakenly did one in 2012 as i was led to do one instead of get assessed for autism. Another trait being very trusting anyway i score 73 or around therr i didnt slle much the night before so i was a bit tired and i hate tests. My point being iq test are ablist and exclude vast amounty of knowlege from no western people such as first natuons people and the knowledge about how to survive off the land, what plants make the best medicine ect It great you want to improve you knowledge but dont let that be the sole guiding force just because you want to be accepted by neurotypicals and be in a job that allows to to make a living. You are good enough already with the right supports you can work in your dream career.
Fuck all the haters a lot of people love you
So you had above average math score on that IQ test you always reference, your sister got to top college, your verbal skills are top notch, wow. No wonder noone takes that test result of iq 70 seriously.
you're smarter than the psychologists who thought you had asperges
How old are you mark? Have thought about studying quantum mechanics?
I'm 26 but have never thought about studying quantum mechanics.
@@markmolloy1381 study algebra first man, than trigonometry and calculus it will change your life, you will see the world with a new perspective
@@markmolloy1381 I think that if you're really good at math, try to find something math related to do. Maybe become a CPA and see where you can go from there depending on how good your math skills are 🤷🏽♀️
@@markmolloy1381 how can you be good at math but have a low IQ?
It’s not possible having Aspergers syndrome and having low IQ. All autistics level 1 (including Aspergers) have normal IQ, which is a criteria for the diagnosis in the DSM.
if you know how to fix the ice cream machine you are not low IQ but a scientist
If you question the diagnoses, then your intelligence isn't low.
Keep living and keep learning Mark. I have to say you do seem a little autistic in your videos, and I can say is if you are, indulge in your special interests. You can learn a lot about the world by accident if it's connected to your special interest. For example I learned about history and geo-politics through my interest in aviation.
agreed. well said.
This guy is really trolling. 😂. Its hilarious
He really isn’t. Today I also realised I am very much like him and make use of very similar syntax in my speech. But no, he’s not trolling, unfortunately 😢. It hurts honestly because it looks like he’s trying very hard.

i can see you are autistic i can see that, i am autistic as well. there is one thing i discovered about iq tests they are not designed that well when it comes to autistic people and your scoring can very when you take them so i find them pointless thing to base yourself on. the greatest thing anyone can have is drive to go as far you can, i found thew problem is the people that try to pull you down.
I think you’re confusing two different concepts. I mean from your video you seem to have coherency and capabilities in speech and if you truly had a low IQ you’d be incapable of: using more complex expressions, coherently communicating and understanding the complexities of diagnostic procedures. It would be interesting to know if, for example you struggle to understand that chicken nuggets should be placed in a different section to fries, as mentioned in another video or if you actually struggle to convert these thoughts into body actions which is a sign of neurological brain impairments which is a symptom of ASD. Also poor communication and decision making abilities are common with Autism.
you talk like a man with high intelligence, that's because you have high intelligence. The problem isn't you. The problem is how they grade intelligence. I have an IQ of 130 (apparently). You are more intelligent than me
Did anyone told you that you look like frodo
Just keep been mark...things will be alright brother 🇮🇪
