I can calculate about 8moves ahead, but not uncontested, it all depends what the opponent does, normally I have to change the plan up after 2-3 moves played, so him saying he can calculate 21moves uncontested is BS, all a player has to do is move a piece that he hadn't calculated being moved and it fucks the entire plan up 🤷

As someone who studied theoretical physics and maths at uni for 5 years, I always wince whenever folk talk about being interested in these subjects as evidence of them being "intellectual". We're just folk with a niche interest like any other, nothing to brag about. Hell, many science students also have interest in the arts, it's how I first got involved in dance. These guys are like the people who buy shelves full of books they don't read just to display how "well read" they are to visitors.
Yeah, I'm doing a distance learning course atm, currently doing an All Sciences module. Can do quantum physics easy. Cannot get my head around the formula for speed. Everyone has different talents and some things aren't "better" than others
@@aresjerry what I mean is, an idiot who can't even do basic maths (me) can understand quantum physics. Understanding something doesn't mean shit. We all understand different things and understanding one thing means fuck all about how smart you are

As an English major, it’s incredibly obvious to me when someone is using “fancy” words to sound smart without actually understanding what the words mean. Some of those sentences made absolutely no sense and it’s clear that the people writing them want desperately for people to think they’re smart without actually being smart 🤣
I'm not even an English major and I find it funny when people use more complex words for no reason other than sounding smart when perfectly ordinary words would both sound better, and often work better in ordinary conversation.
On the other hand, in many of these examples, the fancy words fit the context and the sentences make sense, so they don't belong in r/iamverysmart. For example "perspicacity" was used correctly.
@@rosiefay7283 Yeah but nobody in any ordinary situation uses a lot of those words, when simpler words work just as well. It's like these two sentences. Both mean the same thing, but the first one no one would use in any ordinary situation. He extrudes more complicated sounding words in an attempt to appear smarter. He forces more complicated sounding words in an attempt to appear smarter.
@@sirhawkeit's easy to assume though. A lot of people using "big" words online might very well have some other language from English as their mother tongue and learned from reading literature. It's a common occurrence that those who learned English using literature have a vocabulary considered weird or perhaps pretentious in spoken English
@@sirhawke Im not on anybody’s side but personally I prefer to use ‘big’ words for conciseness, for example rather than saying “at the same time” you can just say “simultaneously”, the decrease of words just makes sentences flow better for me
You actually can start a grammatically correct sentence with "because" >:), if it's a cause/ effect sort of thing. (Because of x, y happened.). (Of course, it doesn't matter, I just think it's mildly interesting. And ammo against the grammar police >:))
There was a really interesting study (yeah this sounds like one of those posts already) called "consequences of erudite vernacular utilized irrespective of necessity - problems with using big words needlessly". Basically said if you stuff loads of big words in things people think you're covering for something, and after seeing loads if these posts it's absolutely true.
The best part about that type of people is that dont even know what half the words they use actually mean and they immediately fold when they have to discuss a topic with someone who has a normal amount of information on that field. I mean I like having a large vocabulary, and language is something you can use to not just communicate more clearly, but also make it interesting for people to actually listen to whats coming out of your mouth, but fuck those pretentious people annoy me. When I come across a situation like that I like to respond in Latin just to fuck with em. It really confuses them. Get out-pretentioused. Is that a word? I dont care, I made it a word.
@@TheSuperappelflap Personally I think a lot of people subconsciously follow the idea of that a smart person should be able to explain something to someone in a way that is easy to understand for as many as possible as well. When your method of conversing with other people is to stuff it full with big words that you know are contrived or difficult to understand it just makes you look even dumber in the eyes of most people with social common sense. The only reason you'd have to talk like that in regular conversation is because you don't know how to handle a casual conversation like an average person, the most observable standard of communication in any social setting. But I think we all know that these are average people that wish they were more special and unique than they actually are and get stuck in playing out some role play make-believe about themselves where they are the main character and everyone else is NPCs. Adopting speech mannerisms that are pointlessly complex is just part of the role play.
@@LewtableYes. As a writer I will add this: using big words people don’t know will take people out of your story/conversation to wonder “what does that mean?” There ARE “bigger” words you can use that everyone knows.
IQ is not completely invalid, it doesn’t mean what these folks think it means. IQ is more of a measure of potential in certain subjects. You have multiple IQ values: one for each subject, these are then averaged so claiming your IQ is 130 or something does not tell us much. What individual IQ stat is your highest? You CAN have an individual IQ higher or lower than your average. IQ is a measure of what comes easy to you. You don’t even need an IQ test to know which subject your IQ will be higher in. Does math come easily to you? Your math IQ is high. Are you able to easily visualize how things would fit, such as visual puzzles? Your Visual-Spatial IQ is high. NOTE: Just because you have a high IQ DOES NOT mean you are automatically smart in that area. You still have to LEARN. Edit: think of it kind of like Pokémon stats. Two Pokémon can have the same stat total, but one could have high attack while the other high defense. The Pokémon are not going to be good at the same things. OR. Two Pokémon can have different stat totals, but the lower total one can still have a higher attack than the higher total one. Guess who is going to be dealing more damage? Or levels. A lower level Pokémon will not do as much damage as the same species at a higher level. Why? EXPERIENCE. The lower level Pokémon has the POTENTIAL to be as good, but needs to reach that. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE POTENTIAL, DOES NOT MEAN YOU KNOW EVERYTHING.
@@Wolfie54545also it's not an effective way to measure intelligence as a personal feat as it's something you can study for and learn. It's why people who take IQ tests all day score highly, because they've learned what to look for rather than problem solving in an entirely removed situation. It's a bit weird personally and tends to follow the lines of eugenics more than any form of humanitarian betterment.
@Wolfie54545 To be honest, its more useful real world applications are ironically in looking at the lower ends of the spectrum. These (amoung other) tests can be very useful in determining whether someone struggles in certain areas and is commonly used as a jumping off point when people are looking to classify someone with intellectual impairments or neurological disorders. For example, some people with conditions like dyspraxia can have strong comprehension and reasoning abilities, but struggle with processing speed or working memory.
@@Wolfie54545 Think they mean to say that IQ is invalid cause the stats you get, as you put it, are gonna change with time regardless. IQ only measures how fast you pick up on things and where your average is at. My IQ score from the hospital when I got tested for autism is entirely invalid by now since that was ten years ago. Not just that but the willingness of the person being tested also influences those numbers. For example I got tested in a hospital while I was there for treatment and felt relieved if I had anything else to do than sit around and wait for tests, I scored slightly higher than average while EQ was low. My sis got picked out of class, scored below average, mostly because she got taken out of an interesting class, was upset and answered all questions with I don't know before going back to class. She just didn't want to do the test. So just saying the numbers aren't entirely valid because the numbers varry even from just how motivated you are to do the test itself. There's a lot of variables that influence what outcome you get. And while the numbers themselves aren't accurate, it's still a useful tool to get to know where your strengths and weaknesses lie. So you can find ways to strengthen your weaknesses and learn how to best use your strengths.
@@TheSuperappelflapThe irony of this comment being finished with a very millennial online 'send halp' slang like it's still SuperWhoLock era on Tumblr. Eh, kidding. But all the doggos and halps being sent do trigger a 'come tf on now grow up' response.
Lone wolf, on social media. Math ain't mathin, chief. Also, to quote from Mensa's website, "This online test gives an indication of general cognitive abilities, represented by an IQ score of between 85 and 145, where 100 is the population average. This test is not a substitute for professional intelligence tests, such as those administered by Mensa and licensed psychologists."
Some old dude that was in Mensa once told me I should sign up. I looked up online what Mensa has ever accomplished or done for humanity. The answer is nothing. I didnt join.
A mensa rep came to my primary school once and gave tests to about 5 of us. Told me I had an IQ of 180 and tried to get my teacher to talk my parents into signing me up for their membership thing. (It was a subscription fee so it was an automatic "lmao no, do you think we'remade of money?") I'm pretty sure mensa is some kind of scam. The tests don't even go up to 180 & I've never been above average in anything. Also the test was like all puzzles and pattern prediction stuff, so I don't see how that's an indication of intelligence anyway. Just now realising it was probabaly a scam😂😂...did anybody else have this experience in primary school? It was year 6 around the time we did our SATs if that helps?
@@TheSuperappelflap Mensa is for similar minded people to find each other and talk. Its full of IT/CE/CS people talking about computers all day long, and a few doctors.
@@ambarcraft4476 yeah but what has Mensa ever actually contributed to society? It doesn’t publish anything. It’s just a bunch of people sitting around talking oh look how smart we are. I can do that with my friends at home
My IQ was tested when I was going through the process of being diagnosed with autism. So mine was at least done by a clinical psychologist with the aid of other professionals. I also did two different ones. I haven't found an online IQ test close to the real thing. So yeah I won't believe a self evaluated IQ score. And IQ tests aren't just written things, loads of things go into the assessment. For example we had to "play" with shapes and die. Matching shapes, building up complex shapes, a lot like those puzzles you get where it looks impossible to fit all the pieces, but there's like an odd trick. Anyway I'm rambling 😅 they look at your body language, they listen to your voice and time you. I don't know how that would translate to a plain online test, unless it's like an online class with someone idk. We also had a long discussion on what IQ really means. It basically means nothing, it doesn't necessarily prove anything. The IQ test is more to find a thinking pattern. People on the spectrum like myself tend to score higher because we have very little or no emotional intelligence to rely on. Not that we don't feel emotions, it's more like you don't have any built in system to sort out those emotions. That's why they usually say we're very smart but our hearts are those of a 12 year old. IQ means nothing, please don't base yourself worth on that man made number. Be yourself and bloom the way you're meant to.
Going through the process myself for various personal reasons, and I agree. IQ isn't just "intelligence" or w/e, it's just a general marker of problem solving adaptability imho. Besides, like you said, how tf you gonna put all the physical/spatial tests online without using a game engine to simulate 3D space? You can't boil that down to 1-5 scale questions. Also not to get into it since I've not actually done mine yet, but I got a small glimpse of one of the tests from my psychologist and istg it was just a page of alien looking symbols lmao.
Same did mine in a two week hospital stay, was the most stimulating exam I had during that time. Got autism, the test was fun I loved the puzzle part and the part where you gotta draw using different colours. My EQ score was a joke though. xD I am still learning there cause I wanna become a psychologist and uh, apparently you need to be able to express empathy or something a little more than what I normally do. So practicing a lot.
Most of these Oh-So-High-IQ people don't even know that IQ isn't the only Q that can be measured. Anyways, about the autism: I've never seen myself or other autistic people around me as having little or less emotional intelligence. Moreso, it felt like we just processed them different than allistic people, or neurotypicals in general. And since everything in society is built on weird social norms made up by them, it appears like we have less emotional intelligence. Its the inconsistencies, the not-meaning.what-you-say and then relying on obscure and completely arbitrary social cues to somehow categorise things that throws me off. Which also enables me to spot manipulative behaviours way easier than others. I'm very empathetic, i care deeply, and people have kept telling me that i have a huge heart, am a source of good, rational advice and that few people are so dedicated to understanding and helping others as me. I just feel that emotions and empathy are more detached from my reasoning or decison making than others. Values and logic is consistent, emotions aren't. And i may not show the strong, emotional reactions that society expects off of me in some situations. But i do not like the statement that people on the spectrum have little to no emotional intelligence. It is a spectrum for a reason. Neurotypical people have be better at handling social situations in their society, yes. But emotions? Hell no
Some believe it and get an ego boost, others do it for fun. It's like zodiac signs, some passionately believe in it and others just have fun with the idea of them.
@@forest2727they're so inconsistent too between providers and rely heavily on pattern prediction stuff. Like, you could study for it like any other test, get a high score and it wouldn't prove anything other than you're good at studying. I really don't see the appeal and can't understand why anyone would take it seriously 😂

Perspicacity is a word they used in the Simpsons. It is a real word but I'm 40 & have literally only heard it once my entire life & that's the episode called Lisa the Simpson.
You know as a bilingual french/english speakin person I find it funny how many words overlap in meaning but absolutely not in usage. Perspicacity, or usually it's adj form *perspicace* (on french - in english I do not know of an adj for Perspicacity) is quite commonly used to describe cunning/good at peovlem solving individuals. Like, if you solve a hard riddle, you might say you are "perspicace" Although it's often used in a humorous manner, because it's kind of a funny word to say in french.

When I told her I'm far from a genius, and suggested that perhaps mathematicians or astrophysicists are more likely to fit that description, she immediately soured on me, called me 'negative' and we haven't spoken since. Basically, I got ditched for not performing self-fellatio. Very peculiar scenario.

Even his Nobel Prize winning peers (who are among the most brilliant scientists in history) considered him to be a genius who operated on a completely different level to them, but the guy was able to talk to children about the most complex ideas because he understood them so well.

TLDR: IQ tests are important to some people, but if you don't feel the need to have one then it's probably useless for you. To answer the question about IQ tests, sometimes it helps with psychological/psychiatric diagnosis. On a personal experience, I always felt inadequate, I struggle to adapt to work environment for example, and it's thanks to an IQ test (done by a professional psychiatrist, not a free online test) that I was properly diagnosed with autism and dyspraxia. Now, this was in France, I don't know how it works in the UK or the USA, but here it gave me access to a lot of resources to actually improve my life.

Seriously, the guy can't even figure out the most easy pronunciations of words that are in common usage. It boggles my mind sometimes how little he knows about really common things
Also agnostic-atheist is a thing, agnostic/gnostic is about knowledge(I believe vs I know), atheist/theist is about the position(there is no god/gods vs there is a god/gods). An agnostic atheist is someone who believes there isn't a god but doesn't know for sure.

Agnostic Atheist is a correct description. It means that you don't believe in gods, but you are open to the possibility, no matter how tiny, that you could be wrong.
I had to get an IQ test to get my ADHD diagnosis. So, sometimes one has to be done for medical reasons. However, most people bragging about their 1 million score just took a free test online.
IQ is a very ineffective way to measure intelligence it doesn't actually measure how smart you are overall it just measures how good you are at answering questions.
Yes, answering questions in IQ tests. I remember someone saying how they had a long convalescence from illness and did the tests to amuse themselves. They said the more they did, the better they got.
To answer the question of why people would even take the "real" IQ test in the first place: A friend of mine did it because she had a coupon and because she wanted to prove her parents wrong who thought she was stupid... 😅 I think that's a solid reason 😂
The thing with IQ tests and IQ itself is its basically useless as a measure of intelligence, and from what I remember IQ measures someones reasoning skills, not how smart they are. A quick Google also added it tries to show how well someone can use logic to answer questions and make predictions 😂

I have an extremely high IQ. It has never been very much help though, just means I quickly figure out every way everything could go horribly wrong and causes anxiety problems. Being highly intelligence doesn't translate to success or usefulness, but it does leave one vulnerable to the heights of blind arrogance. That's why you'll find a lot of people with high IQs who believe and say very dumb things.
To answer why people get IQ tests done: I'm someone who had to get one done. Unfortunately it was because I have a disability and my school (at the time) was wanting to put me in the special ed class, which requires students have an IQ of 70 or lower. Safe to say I was definitely NOT 70 or lower. I always hate saying I got an official test done though, since people always assume it's because I'm an insufferable prick.
So what did you get though? Dw I know IQ is a bit of a misleading measurment, I just want to know how low their jaw dropped 🤣 Also isn't 70 IQ is very very low? Idk how they could mistake someone for being 70 IQ.
For those of you wondering, the SAT doesn't correlate negatively to IQ. SATs basically *are* an iq test, adapted directly from the same standardized test forms.
Is there any way to match someones IQ except equally? I mean, it is a single metric. Its mathematically impossible not to equally match it. Your superfluous word disproportionally aggrevates me.
@@TheSuperappelflapIQ is actually not a single metric. It’s made up of a ton of individual IQs for each stats that are then averaged. (It’s a bit more complicated that that) Think of it similar to Pokémon stat totals.
my unmatched perspicacity (shrewdness) coupled with indefatigability (inability to fatigue) makes me a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavour is a quote from emory tate (andrews father) and is a verbose phrasing of i am very good at things and don't tire easily so people are scared to go against me, i'm not a huge tate fan but the idea of being perspicacious and indefatigable is worth striving for but using those skills to help people instead of being a feared oppenent is better imo

As an English major, it’s incredibly obvious to me when someone is using “fancy” words to sound smart without actually understanding what the words mean. Some of those sentences made absolutely no sense and it’s clear that the people writing them want desperately for people to think they’re smart without actually being smart 🤣
I'm not even an English major and I find it funny when people use more complex words for no reason other than sounding smart when perfectly ordinary words would both sound better, and often work better in ordinary conversation.
On the other hand, in many of these examples, the fancy words fit the context and the sentences make sense, so they don't belong in r/iamverysmart. For example "perspicacity" was used correctly.
@@rosiefay7283 Yeah but nobody in any ordinary situation uses a lot of those words, when simpler words work just as well.
It's like these two sentences. Both mean the same thing, but the first one no one would use in any ordinary situation.

@@sirhawkeit's easy to assume though. A lot of people using "big" words online might very well have some other language from English as their mother tongue and learned from reading literature. It's a common occurrence that those who learned English using literature have a vocabulary considered weird or perhaps pretentious in spoken English
@@sirhawke Im not on anybody’s side but personally I prefer to use ‘big’ words for conciseness, for example rather than saying “at the same time” you can just say “simultaneously”, the decrease of words just makes sentences flow better for me
IQ of 210 but starts a sentence with ‘because’
IQ of 210 and uses the word conundrum wrong
Also says "a M.D." not "an"
and wrote conundrum instead of abundance or something that means an amount
@@sezuin_6577 technically that one is actually correct
You actually can start a grammatically correct sentence with "because" >:), if it's a cause/ effect sort of thing. (Because of x, y happened.).
(Of course, it doesn't matter, I just think it's mildly interesting. And ammo against the grammar police >:))
There was a really interesting study (yeah this sounds like one of those posts already) called "consequences of erudite vernacular utilized irrespective of necessity - problems with using big words needlessly".
Basically said if you stuff loads of big words in things people think you're covering for something, and after seeing loads if these posts it's absolutely true.
The best part about that type of people is that dont even know what half the words they use actually mean and they immediately fold when they have to discuss a topic with someone who has a normal amount of information on that field. I mean I like having a large vocabulary, and language is something you can use to not just communicate more clearly, but also make it interesting for people to actually listen to whats coming out of your mouth, but fuck those pretentious people annoy me. When I come across a situation like that I like to respond in Latin just to fuck with em. It really confuses them. Get out-pretentioused. Is that a word? I dont care, I made it a word.
@@TheSuperappelflap Personally I think a lot of people subconsciously follow the idea of that a smart person should be able to explain something to someone in a way that is easy to understand for as many as possible as well. When your method of conversing with other people is to stuff it full with big words that you know are contrived or difficult to understand it just makes you look even dumber in the eyes of most people with social common sense. The only reason you'd have to talk like that in regular conversation is because you don't know how to handle a casual conversation like an average person, the most observable standard of communication in any social setting.
But I think we all know that these are average people that wish they were more special and unique than they actually are and get stuck in playing out some role play make-believe about themselves where they are the main character and everyone else is NPCs. Adopting speech mannerisms that are pointlessly complex is just part of the role play.
A smart person knows how to simplify things.
@@Lewtable Yeah that
@@LewtableYes. As a writer I will add this: using big words people don’t know will take people out of your story/conversation to wonder “what does that mean?” There ARE “bigger” words you can use that everyone knows.
I think it's always so funny how these intellectuals almost always bring up IQ, even though it's an invalid determination of intelligence
and they'd be the first ones to tell you that if you happened to score higher than them too lol
IQ is not completely invalid, it doesn’t mean what these folks think it means.
IQ is more of a measure of potential in certain subjects. You have multiple IQ values: one for each subject, these are then averaged so claiming your IQ is 130 or something does not tell us much.
What individual IQ stat is your highest? You CAN have an individual IQ higher or lower than your average.
IQ is a measure of what comes easy to you. You don’t even need an IQ test to know which subject your IQ will be higher in. Does math come easily to you? Your math IQ is high.
Are you able to easily visualize how things would fit, such as visual puzzles? Your Visual-Spatial IQ is high.
NOTE: Just because you have a high IQ DOES NOT mean you are automatically smart in that area. You still have to LEARN.
Edit: think of it kind of like Pokémon stats. Two Pokémon can have the same stat total, but one could have high attack while the other high defense. The Pokémon are not going to be good at the same things.
OR. Two Pokémon can have different stat totals, but the lower total one can still have a higher attack than the higher total one. Guess who is going to be dealing more damage?
Or levels. A lower level Pokémon will not do as much damage as the same species at a higher level. Why? EXPERIENCE. The lower level Pokémon has the POTENTIAL to be as good, but needs to reach that.
JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE POTENTIAL, DOES NOT MEAN YOU KNOW EVERYTHING.
@@Wolfie54545also it's not an effective way to measure intelligence as a personal feat as it's something you can study for and learn.
It's why people who take IQ tests all day score highly, because they've learned what to look for rather than problem solving in an entirely removed situation.
It's a bit weird personally and tends to follow the lines of eugenics more than any form of humanitarian betterment.
@Wolfie54545 To be honest, its more useful real world applications are ironically in looking at the lower ends of the spectrum. These (amoung other) tests can be very useful in determining whether someone struggles in certain areas and is commonly used as a jumping off point when people are looking to classify someone with intellectual impairments or neurological disorders. For example, some people with conditions like dyspraxia can have strong comprehension and reasoning abilities, but struggle with processing speed or working memory.
@@Wolfie54545 Think they mean to say that IQ is invalid cause the stats you get, as you put it, are gonna change with time regardless. IQ only measures how fast you pick up on things and where your average is at. My IQ score from the hospital when I got tested for autism is entirely invalid by now since that was ten years ago. Not just that but the willingness of the person being tested also influences those numbers.
For example I got tested in a hospital while I was there for treatment and felt relieved if I had anything else to do than sit around and wait for tests, I scored slightly higher than average while EQ was low. My sis got picked out of class, scored below average, mostly because she got taken out of an interesting class, was upset and answered all questions with I don't know before going back to class. She just didn't want to do the test. So just saying the numbers aren't entirely valid because the numbers varry even from just how motivated you are to do the test itself.
There's a lot of variables that influence what outcome you get. And while the numbers themselves aren't accurate, it's still a useful tool to get to know where your strengths and weaknesses lie. So you can find ways to strengthen your weaknesses and learn how to best use your strengths.

Lone wolf, on social media. Math ain't mathin, chief.
Also, to quote from Mensa's website, "This online test gives an indication of general cognitive abilities, represented by an IQ score of between 85 and 145, where 100 is the population average. This test is not a substitute for professional intelligence tests, such as those administered by Mensa and licensed psychologists."
Some old dude that was in Mensa once told me I should sign up. I looked up online what Mensa has ever accomplished or done for humanity. The answer is nothing. I didnt join.
A mensa rep came to my primary school once and gave tests to about 5 of us. Told me I had an IQ of 180 and tried to get my teacher to talk my parents into signing me up for their membership thing. (It was a subscription fee so it was an automatic "lmao no, do you think we'remade of money?")
I'm pretty sure mensa is some kind of scam. The tests don't even go up to 180 & I've never been above average in anything. Also the test was like all puzzles and pattern prediction stuff, so I don't see how that's an indication of intelligence anyway.
Just now realising it was probabaly a scam😂😂...did anybody else have this experience in primary school? It was year 6 around the time we did our SATs if that helps?
The true IQ test is not paying to get a test to boost your ego lol
@@TheSuperappelflap Mensa is for similar minded people to find each other and talk. Its full of IT/CE/CS people talking about computers all day long, and a few doctors.

My IQ was tested when I was going through the process of being diagnosed with autism. So mine was at least done by a clinical psychologist with the aid of other professionals. I also did two different ones.
I haven't found an online IQ test close to the real thing. So yeah I won't believe a self evaluated IQ score.
And IQ tests aren't just written things, loads of things go into the assessment. For example we had to "play" with shapes and die. Matching shapes, building up complex shapes, a lot like those puzzles you get where it looks impossible to fit all the pieces, but there's like an odd trick. Anyway I'm rambling 😅 they look at your body language, they listen to your voice and time you.
I don't know how that would translate to a plain online test, unless it's like an online class with someone idk.
We also had a long discussion on what IQ really means. It basically means nothing, it doesn't necessarily prove anything. The IQ test is more to find a thinking pattern. People on the spectrum like myself tend to score higher because we have very little or no emotional intelligence to rely on. Not that we don't feel emotions, it's more like you don't have any built in system to sort out those emotions. That's why they usually say we're very smart but our hearts are those of a 12 year old.
IQ means nothing, please don't base yourself worth on that man made number. Be yourself and bloom the way you're meant to.
Going through the process myself for various personal reasons, and I agree. IQ isn't just "intelligence" or w/e, it's just a general marker of problem solving adaptability imho.
Besides, like you said, how tf you gonna put all the physical/spatial tests online without using a game engine to simulate 3D space? You can't boil that down to 1-5 scale questions.
Also not to get into it since I've not actually done mine yet, but I got a small glimpse of one of the tests from my psychologist and istg it was just a page of alien looking symbols lmao.
@@_XRMissie yeah the tests aren't normal tests is very strange tbh. But you what, it was fun, and I wish you all the best!
Same did mine in a two week hospital stay, was the most stimulating exam I had during that time. Got autism, the test was fun I loved the puzzle part and the part where you gotta draw using different colours. My EQ score was a joke though. xD
I am still learning there cause I wanna become a psychologist and uh, apparently you need to be able to express empathy or something a little more than what I normally do. So practicing a lot.
@@junrobin9335 hi man, don't let anything hold you back!
Most of these Oh-So-High-IQ people don't even know that IQ isn't the only Q that can be measured. Anyways, about the autism:
I've never seen myself or other autistic people around me as having little or less emotional intelligence. Moreso, it felt like we just processed them different than allistic people, or neurotypicals in general. And since everything in society is built on weird social norms made up by them, it appears like we have less emotional intelligence. Its the inconsistencies, the not-meaning.what-you-say and then relying on obscure and completely arbitrary social cues to somehow categorise things that throws me off. Which also enables me to spot manipulative behaviours way easier than others.
I'm very empathetic, i care deeply, and people have kept telling me that i have a huge heart, am a source of good, rational advice and that few people are so dedicated to understanding and helping others as me.
I just feel that emotions and empathy are more detached from my reasoning or decison making than others. Values and logic is consistent, emotions aren't.
And i may not show the strong, emotional reactions that society expects off of me in some situations.
But i do not like the statement that people on the spectrum have little to no emotional intelligence. It is a spectrum for a reason. Neurotypical people have be better at handling social situations in their society, yes. But emotions? Hell no

IQ is a very ineffective way to measure intelligence it doesn't actually measure how smart you are overall it just measures how good you are at answering questions.
Yes, answering questions in IQ tests. I remember someone saying how they had a long convalescence from illness and did the tests to amuse themselves. They said the more they did, the better they got.

Being highly intelligence doesn't translate to success or usefulness, but it does leave one vulnerable to the heights of blind arrogance. That's why you'll find a lot of people with high IQs who believe and say very dumb things.
That "how intelligent are you" post was amazing, most people can't be over average intelligence otherwise it wouldn't be average.
We are dumb apes
To answer why people get IQ tests done: I'm someone who had to get one done. Unfortunately it was because I have a disability and my school (at the time) was wanting to put me in the special ed class, which requires students have an IQ of 70 or lower. Safe to say I was definitely NOT 70 or lower. I always hate saying I got an official test done though, since people always assume it's because I'm an insufferable prick.
So what did you get though? Dw I know IQ is a bit of a misleading measurment, I just want to know how low their jaw dropped 🤣
Also isn't 70 IQ is very very low? Idk how they could mistake someone for being 70 IQ.
I hate everything about myself but at least I am not one of these people
I now want to find excuses to stick perspicacity into conversations😂
That's not what conundrum means lol, I'm sure they're still a genius tho
For those of you wondering, the SAT doesn't correlate negatively to IQ. SATs basically *are* an iq test, adapted directly from the same standardized test forms.
My iq cannot equally match George’s
Is there any way to match someones IQ except equally? I mean, it is a single metric. Its mathematically impossible not to equally match it. Your superfluous word disproportionally aggrevates me.

@@TheSuperappelflapIQ is actually not a single metric. It’s made up of a ton of individual IQs for each stats that are then averaged. (It’s a bit more complicated that that)
Think of it similar to Pokémon stat totals.

First sign that you’re not intelligent
- bragging about being intelligent
my unmatched perspicacity (shrewdness) coupled with indefatigability (inability to fatigue) makes me a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavour is a quote from emory tate (andrews father) and is a verbose phrasing of i am very good at things and don't tire easily so people are scared to go against me, i'm not a huge tate fan but the idea of being perspicacious and indefatigable is worth striving for but using those skills to help people instead of being a feared oppenent is better imo

Just to be clear, you can be agnostic and an atheist at the same time. Agnosticism is about what you know, Atheism is about what you believe.
Oil up
An actual lawyer once told me that becoming a lawyer was a lot easier than it’s made out to be.
That's something akin to survivor's bias. They are a lawyer, of course that was easy to them, since they already succeeded in becoming a lawyer. It was not easy to all people who failed, or never even got to try.
Somewhat ashamed to admit that I know what the “INTJ-A” guy was talking about. It’s their result from the MBTI personality test, which I know about because my school made us all take it. This guy is basically saying that he’s introverted, intuitive, a thinker (rather than a feeler), judging (rather than perceiving), and assertive. I got ISTJ personally, but I don’t see why this person thinks it’s a thing to be so proud of.
