What are your favorite ways to tell if someone is low IQ? Mine is when I give them an analogy and they say something stupid that's not even pertinent to the analogy being made. For example one I saw on here some time back, the topic was about human sexual selection or something
>"sexual selection is good"
>*counterexample of sexual selection actually being harmful in some animal species*
>"humans aren't animals"

They make posts on 4chan about iq

they use buzzwords like 'whataboutism' and 'slippery slope' in discussions even though they are not applicable in 98% of cases

Maybe you didn't understand what he was trying to say.

it's easy to notice when someone has low verbal IQ because they can't comprehend or misunderstand what you just said but there's a paradox of this where you might be the lower IQ one. You wouldn't know.
>>
>>82955139
sexual selection would be good if women selected for traits like high IQ and kindness. if sociopaths, criminals and dark triad evil chads were treated like incels the world would be a lot better lol
>>
>>82955139
>"sexual selection is good"
>*counterexample of sexual selection actually being harmful in some animal species*
>"humans aren't animals"
Ironically this is a sign of low IQ. You're making a logical fallacy. What's good/bad for one animal species might not be good/bad for another. Also, that's not even an analogy.
>>
>>82955558
>You're making a logical fallacy
It's just an example of how sexual selection is not inherently eugenic. Perhaps analogy wasn't the right word, but the point still applies.
>What's good/bad for one animal species might not be good/bad for another.
Sure, but sexual selection in humans is not eugenic.
>Also, that's not even an analogy.
Just realized that
>>
>>82955139
by their view discussing if sexual selection on animals is good or bad is pointless because humans do not fit in that category

so you are the low iq one, regurgitating that same flawed argument about iq
>>
>>82955619
>humans do not fit in that category
You retards are just repeating the same nonsense. The showing sexual selection isn't always good does just that; sexual selection and "eugenic" are not synonymous.

There's a separate debate about whether sexual selection is good in humans. In some ways it is, some it isn't.

The classic: the anecdote that "disproves" the general trend.
>A: men are stronger than women
>B: I know a woman who's stronger than this man blah blah blah
At first I thought people like B were just being intellectually dishonest but I've recently realized that these people just don't have the cognitive capacity to grasp statistical thinking.
>>
>>82955762
This one too. Ask them to explain what an average is and they will short-circuit. Good luck on standard deviations
>>
>>82955691
low iq idiot over here, didnt read the "by their view" part
and you clearly were talking about sexual selection in general or in humans, who the fuck talks about natural selection in random species
>>
>>82955877
You are extremely low IQ.
>>
>>82955948
you are the low iq retard not being able to make a proper example and not understanding how arguments work
>>
>>82955975
That's the most ironic post ever, you low IQ tard
>>
>>82955151
fpbp
everyone who appeals to iq is invariably a midwit
the same is true for people who check grammar despite often barely understanding it themselves as if capital letters and periods are difficult
>>
>>82955139
When I see someone type without capitalization and punctuation I immediately know I am dealing with a borderline retard.
>>
The highest IQ move is to be low IQ
>>
>>82955139
When you see them make an argument and they use the exact same words and phrases as everyone else on their side making the same argument. No critical thought allowing them to word it in their own unique way, they just regurgitate whatever they first heard that sounded good.

Easy example is every time a leftist uses the phrase "manufactured consent". I just tune them out from there.

Fpbp fuck off op

>>82955139
Low IQ people think the earth is flat
Midwits think it's a globe
High Iq people think it's flat.

Low-No inquisitiveness
They don't like to find anything out, they'd rather be told by a person in a white coat or a suit
>>
>>82955139
They use terms like "good" without defining the goal.
Good in what way? Inherently good? That would be a retarded statement.
>>
>>82959109
This. No spark of curiosity.
>>
>>82955762
>At first I thought people like B were just being intellectually dishonest but I've recently realized that these people just don't have the cognitive capacity to grasp statistical thinking.
lmao same, I think it's my brain's way of coping, it's like it refuses to believe that they could be that dumb. Like reality itself starts to break down once u realize just how fucking dumb people are
>>
>>82959109
Or even worse, the single digit IQ ones now go "grok is this real" at everything
>>
>>82955139
Speech patterns and vocabulary. If they say the same canned phrases and overused words as the general normie internet, I can't stand talking to them. The second someone says "vibe" I know they have a room temperature IQ. Anyone worth talking to is smart enough and unique enough to form their own vernacular. Also, reading speed is a huge one. If someone tries to read something out loud to you, and they sound like a first grader who just had the teacher pick them to read the next chapter to the class, that person is hopeless. Oh and of course then there's women, that's an easy one. Women are all fucking retarded.

>>82955139
Belief in any religion/god. That's an obvious one.
>>
>>82955139
My favorite indicators are:
>a complete inability to map behaviors to consequences
>a vague sense of the future, but no true understanding of momentum
>reification of social archetypes as opposed to viewing them as circumstantial
>inability to rotate objects mentally
>inability to contextualize what they read
>inability to deal with fuzzy boundaries (think of postmodernists and the critiques of the western canon)
>low impulse and emotional control
>proclivity towards violence and spite
>>
>>82960102
You could've easily just summarized your whole post with
>nigger
>>
>>82960102
>>low impulse and emotional control
Emotional control is one of the first things we should learn to do as humans, it's really unsettling how some people go their whole lives throwing hissy fits. It really is one of the easiest tard signs.
>inability to rotate objects mentally
Apparently some people struggle with reading books because they aren't picturing the events/people/places described, they simply can't see beyond the words on the page. That one was jarring to learn, that some people are too stupid to even have the basic fundamentals of a working imagination. Strange that there's a sliding scale for how well some people can picture, say, an apple in their heads. Like it's somehow difficult for some people.

>these people just don't have the cognitive capacity to grasp statistical thinking
This reminds me of the people who seethe against police brutality. You can present the that shows over 99% of traffic stops are non-lethal, but they will cling to the exceptional shooting (which is usually justified)
