>one chance at life>110iqWhy even bother? This is the midwit range where you eventually learn you're not as smart as you think and the actual smart people go on to become rich and successful and do interesting things.
At least you're capable of introspection and philosophy to some degree. It's undoubtedly worse to be <100, where you struggle to think critically and ponder whether it's fulfilling to drink domestic pilsners while watching the game every weekend, and go through life without ever learning other languages, or coming into contact with "the Great Conversation" as revealed through literature and poetry. That's one school in any case. The other school is: the tree of knowledge is not the tree of life (Byron) it's better to live a life guided by your pleasures and passions, unencumbered by intellectt. 130let
>>62014210Bro its fine. Become a minor bureaucrat or functionary or something and enjoy yourself.
>>62014210110 to 120 is the sweet spot for getting richMost self-made rich people are midwitsIt's extremely rare for high intelligence types to get rich
>130 IQ>gatekept by high EQ HR roastiesBetter luck next time, chuddie
>>62014219These people all seem to be happier, the ones who never look up at the sky or ponder anything. >>62014228I work a boring DOD job as an engineer. Tried to get some better roles but am too dumb.>>62014233This really isn't true, the smartest people I know went to MIT and other ivy league schools and are actually rich. >>62014239Just say you are neurodivergent, they love that.
>>62014210Are you charismatic at least
>>62014253No, I used to be though. Living a boring wagie office life turned me into a soulless NPC over the years.
>>62014219>the Great Conversation" as revealed through literature and poetryThis is just midwit shit for people who are too low-IQ to get into mathematics, the language of the divine.
>>62014282why yes I am on the spectrum, how could you tell?
>>62014282Mathematics isn't even about anything. Its purely formal and so empty of content and thus real semantic meaning.
>>62014210You either have to be really dumb or really smart to get really rich. It takes a lot of risk to get there so you either have to be dumb enough to not realize how risky something is or smart enough to realize you need to take the risk to succeed
>>62014251The peak of life is having a boring job. Do you have any idea how lucky you are if you have a boring, do nothing job? >Oh no we are out of French vanilla creamer>Did you see that email?>Brian is such a faggotJust having a boring clock in/ clock out job is the maximum of life and you likely have no idea how good you have it. A lot of people build nice lives for themselves and have no idea.
>>62014282We are the last digit of Piwoah
>>62014219at least you can pretend to be semi normal, my life is beyond hard because of how dumb everyone else is.t. 155let
>>62014341That suckshttps://youtu.be/wYrNjPGgAAA?is=u_QuIZTiSLs05DrO
>>62014308>You either have to be really dumb or really smart to get really rich.Not really, you just need to have connections, or to be a sociopath. Corporate ladder selects for sociopaths, regardless if they are smart or retarded.
>>62014219> where you struggle to think critically and ponder whether it's fulfilling to drink domestic pilsners while watching the game every weekend, and go through life without ever learning other languagesYou just described blue collar
>>62014257lolWork robs your soul. Took me a few years after retiring to feel like a kid again.
>falling for the illusion of interesting thingsEverything in life is a slog if you want it to be. Being a drug addicted bum and od'ing while getting sucked off by a nigger who is about to stab you for your drugs can be the best thing in life if you want it to be.
>>62014210140+ here. I spent my 20s NEETing. Literally missed every single easy pump in the best bull market of our lifetimes.
>>62014233>110 to 120 is the sweet spot for getting richOnly if you're hyper-social and charismatic, which OP certainly is not
>>62014210If you are man, your real life is an endless grind. There is nothing other than work that will give you satisfaction. There is no such thing as "making it." Even if you are a billionaire you will get bored traveling and chilling on your yacht all the time and want to do something. That's just the way it goes.
>>62014251>the smartest people I know went to MIT and other ivy league schools and are actually rich.MIT and ivy league don't really try to select for smarts. They mainly aim for desperate people that are hungry to do whatever is needed to make it big, and then select the best they find out of those types.If you are smart but just want to live a regular upper middle class life at a job you enjoy, you will likely not end up going to one of thise places.There's a reason why every new elite in recent times is a fucking psychopath.
>>62014601I'm pretty sure that those ranges you have as high a chance of ending up super successful as ending up a burnout.The higher iq you have, the more introspection and reflection and the world you do and the easier it is to get sent into mental down spirals when you start realizing how fucked the world is and how incredibly reliant on luck life is.I litterally went from being a top student without much effort to not being able of doing absolutely anything in a single year because of how destroyed I was mental-wise and it has taken me multiple years to go back to a level where I perform like an average person out of sheer force of will because I still feel nothing but apathy towards the world.
>>62014210IQ isn't meaningful in anyway and is in itself a grift for midwits.It's akin to convincing people they are "Chosen" and special because of "specific genetics". Humans are hardwired to be hierarchical and once you identify this, you can play on the idea of "you are better than others" in a huge amount of ways for personal gain. Every human alive will fall for this logic trap if it is presented in the right way to them. Income, IQ, Race or Career. These are all just arbitrary concepts that are meaningless outside of a vacuum, which life itself is not.You can get better at anything you practice. Depending on an infinite number of external factors, this may happen faster or slower, but it will always happen. You can study IQ tests and "improve" your IQ, or perhaps you are just getting better at testing for a meaningless value in a vacuum to convince yourself that your place in society is justified and fair?
>>62014210>didn't bother with grade 12 math>was between jobs when I began looking into investing>found multiple 10x, a 30x and a 1000xI couldn't even work when BTC appeared and wasn't aware of ETH's beginningEven so opportunity is around for those looking for it
>>62014942Yep that's literally me. I only snapped out of it by basically adopting cynicism and soft sociopathy.
>>62015198Books to become a cynicism chud?
>>62014328disagree. there is real, psychologic damage that comes with doing something boring and tedious and unnecessary over the long term. it's ok just to nihilistically grind at such a job short term for a financial gain, but for god's sake don't do that shit for decades.
>>62014210Just do whatever bro. Wtf are you complaining about?
>>62015790Why do you care about providing value to the company? You want a pat on the back from the manager who will take the credit and a promotion?
>>62014967>IQ isn't meaningful in anyway pretty sure that's bullshit in the IQ correlates pretty strongly with other positive life outcomes (e.g. income, satisfaction, health).Otherwise, thanks for the pretty good effortpost.
>>62015799what? no. did you mean to reply to me?
>>62014233>110 to 120 is the sweet spot for getting richthis. I sit right at the cusp of every s-curve, a little ahead of everyone, but not too much. by browsing 4chan many hours a day i am invincible
>>62014967>>62015810IQ matters, so do personality traits, so does your friend/family network.Take a few Big 5 (OCEAN) tests from a few reputable websites, or take one from an actual psychologist.
>>62014233This. I retired of just DCAing bitcoin because I knew I'm not smart enough for trading.
I look back on my life and I did almost everything wrong.
>>62015810>>62015843Because the same people who care about IQ tend to be healthier and higher income earning because it is a trend and marketed to this specific group of people. It's middle management midwitry.It's why Judaism is also often sold to this demagraphic. Once people earn a particular level of comfort without much viable chance of further progression, it becomes easy to sell them a narrative that they are somewhat special or intelligent compared to others. They need a new way to compete and feel hierarchical.The poorest and wealthiest in society are not going to be paying psychologists to give them abstract tests and tell them how smart they are, because they don't need them. Look at any Mensa club - it's normal bored housewife and life-long university hangarounds in middle class neighbourhoods. It's rarely people who are poor or productive, as both these groups have clear and accessible goals to focus on.
>>62014341It is very doubtful your IQ is veritably at 155 since testing becomes very inaccurate at those ranges. Claiming to have such a specific IQ is proof positive that you are most likely a 120 IQ midwit, no offence.
>>62014219the map is not the territory.that's another blackpill midwits will never understand or digest.but anyway high iq implifies your misery but really your misery stems from height & facet. 137cel
>>62014341This, I'm not even 155, I'm around 130, and its fucking painful to exist in the world because its impossible to connect with people.
>>62016423also you can grind the online test over and over to get all the answers right
>>62014210Thread Theme:https://youtu.be/kRXmAIHYQR4?si=t7ndBDYAlYCel40_
High IQ doesn't actually guarantee you any kind of edge in equities over some retard who yolos into shib in 2021 because he heard about doge and wanted some of that.What's even funnier you can post about being 150 IQ and people will seethe because retards think it's a videogame modifier that translates into better stats, rather than a score on a test.
>>62014219Damn you're a massive fag, the under 100 guys mog you in every way.>>62014918Like most threads on 4chan now it's just another shitpost thread where some fag claims bullshit everyone knows isn't true to get (You)s, a waste of time.
>>62014210Getting an IQ test and obsessing over it is self-limiting retard behavior. If you have over 105 IQ, then you're smart enough to pursue most careers or be an entrepreneur, the largest barrier you face is your own lack of discipline.
>>62014210as long as you are white and know about the jews you can contribute to making a better world
>>62014210i tested 146 at 14. i absolutely hate living on this planet. everywhere i go i have to interact with people that are literal retards to me and there's no escape. only upside i have is it was easy making money all my life
>>62014341i feel you mate. having high iq is a fucking curse.
>>62019237also forgot to say, it does not get better with time, i'm 39 now
>>62019237Especially women. I love cute girls but so many of them are so dumb it's a torture talking to them and acting interested in the dumb shit that comes out of their mouth.
>>62019339absolute agree with this. i've had like 7 gfs but i can't do it long term because while they may be cuty and quirky initially, i get get bored and feel lonely because they rarely understand anything, even things that are rather trivial to me is really difficult for them, and they are irrational and can't build long-term. it absolutely sucks and i hate the feeling i get when i have a gf and she's stupid and i see myself thinking "you absolute idiot" about someone i deeply care cabout. positively sucks.
>>62019460i've had two long-term relationships, both over 4 years, but it keeps ending the same way: i lose interest and can't motivate myself anymore because they're just so utterly uninteresting and i hate myself for it so i just pull away
>>62019237>>62016500Tested 139 when I was 12 in a "serious university" if that means anything.Key to be happy is to reconnect with your basic instincts and follow your impulses. It's been known for thousands of years under different names like zen state, master morality, retardmaxxing etc.I study shit I enjoy very hard for 2-3 hours day then my brain is satisfied and I can goof around. I'm currently traveling in India for 2 months and it's a blast every day just surviving.
>>62014219I am a retarded (probably) 90iqlet. I still think about philosophy and read lots of books and papers out of a desire to alleviate my depression by finding some purpose in life; so not every retard is the same. Suffice to say though, I have yet to find anything that makes me feel better. So, I am still unfortunately retarded. I imagine someone more intelligent would have found something by now and feel better.
>>62014210Bro im 130 and feel the same way. Being you would almost be a lobotomy, I yearn for it. Just retardmax
>>62014210I’m 125 (certified with an IRL mensa paper test) and despite getting hot pussy and basically living out those porn fantasies, i know i will try to settle down with a woman who is in 135 range because i tried being succesful and simply saw the limited speed of my growth compared to some who were clearly in the 135+ range. But yeah otherwise it’s a life of midwittery and servitude to us.
>>62016500I’m pretty sure you’re just autistic lol, i know plenty of people from medschool who were in +135 range and completely normal (edgelords like 4channers would even call them redditors).
I'm lazy and happy being poor
Funny how all these people who spent money to get their IQ tested all report having above 110iq. No one ever seems to test below this....Hmmm. I guess only really smart people pay for validation of their intelligence from an external party or something. I doubt they would just lie to their paying customers seeking validation. The world doesn't work like that.
>>62019820Kek you’re a schizo. I didn’t get into mensa, the test didn’t give me smart enough result, so there goes your validation for feeling threatened.
>>62014210if it helps im 150 iq and im retarded. i just work a 9-5 and lose all my money in crypto (4th time) over and over just like you.
>>62020007You are probably just autistic and annoying or poor with no finances to extract. Don't take the testing personally, it's just an excuse to filter you.MENSA is a social group for bored middle class housewives and unsuccessful academics. They only want 2 types of people>wealthy and idle people they can grift>charismatic people with good connections they can use for recruitment/imageIf you are neither of these things, they don't want you in their club as you are just a liability. If you have ever spent time around intelligent people who are not grifting and genuinely just passionate and knowledgeable in their chosen field, you will see they are often very anti-social and awkward. Thats often why they can become intelligent - they don't care about social hierarchy or joining special groups. These people are often the exact oppoisite of the type of people you want on a validation grift, as people don't want to be associated with that image and feel uncomfortable around them.People want to join MENSA because they want to picture themselves like Richard Dawkins and fell for the marketing, not your local autistic sperg who speaks 4 languages fluently and writes software for entertainment.
>>62020102Kek you are such a retard with your long totally not seething reply. I only took the test because it was the closest actual licenced iq test in my area. I don’t care about joining mensa.
>>62015790>there is real, psychologic damage that comes with doing something boring and tedious and unnecessary over the long term.true. hence why speedrunners, reverse engineers and hackers all become trannies.
>>62020359No need to be offended. I am just pointing out what is a very common grift for people seeking validation. It exsists in many forms. It doesn't matter the reason or justification (I just did it because it was local to me!) - you exposed yourself to being insecure the moment you presented yourself for testing. Normal, healthy confident people don't go around seeking validation from external strangers. You would have been declined once presented because you did not meet the requirements specified in the previous post. You are useless to them.Are you going to get audited by scientology next to test your emtional intelligence? They will let you join if you pay for courses, or if you have charisma. It is the same shit.If it means anything anon, I am sure you are smart and informed about your passions. We all are good at something!
I'm super smart but a sperg. I'd rather be a dumb but charismatic guy.
>>62020466>reverse engineering and hacking is boring and unnecessary?
the only happy people ive met are 90IQ people who dont watch TV, have a wife and kids who love them and go hunting on the weekends as a break from their manual labor jobI wish i could be happy like them, but I know too much now, it's over for me
>>62021824Maybe they aren’t 90IQ since they have better stress management than you. Possibly you’re a normie and they’re a standard deviation above you. That happens a lot to normies.
>>62014239true
>>62021889I'm not a normietake it back
>>62021924>prove itExplain why you believe someone that intentionally doesn’t watch government propaganda, has affordable healthy outdoor habits and successful procreated is below average intelligence.
>>62015810yeah maybe up to like 120IQ but smarter than that probably not. Then it's probably just physical appearance and nepotism and luck
>>62014210I don't know what you are complaining about, the world (everything from its cultural norms to its institutions) is literally made for midwits (85-115) because they are are like 70% of the population. The only niggas who can complain are 115-130 (because they are too smart for the midwit world, so they feel slowed down in things like office work, but too dumb for genius endeavours, like truly pure mathematics) and 70-85 for obvious reasons.
>>62014210The real redpill is knowing that IQ, wealth, women, worldly things don't matter, what matters is if you were predestined by God to be saved. Everything else in life is goyslop. You either have ears to hear and eyes to see, or you are a dead man walking. High IQ is a cope
>>62014210Look on the bright side. You could have been born Somalian.
>>62022143>predestined by God to be savedsaved from what?only thing that's cope is your goofy ass stupid story
>>62014308Idk, seems to me that a large part of succes is just luck. I have a friend who kinda retardmaxxes investing. He doesn't do any research, doesn't analyse the things he's investing in. He just buys something without giving it any thought. And he makes a shit ton of money most of the time.
>>62014210Perfect slightly above average IQ. Smart enough to make decent money but dumb enough to enjoy the simple things in life. Also a fellow 110ish IQer here and life's good.
>>62019820The people that score 100 and below aren't going to tell you.
>>62014210I'm probably in the 110-120 range. Smart enough to get good grades in elementary and high school with minimal effort. But not smart enough to actually excel at something like math or physics. This has also increased my natural laziness by a lot. I went to business school because anything STEM would require more than the bare minimum. I spend most of my time doomscrolling and reading about history
>>62014233>It's extremely rare for high intelligence types to get richno its not lmao, what kind of cope is this, just because they don't announce themselves to people like you doesn't mean they don't exist, there's like 1 million people in the whole world with genius iq, do you expect to know the few thousand in your country, or their networth and iqs? do you think they want to be known and demonized for being rich by clueless plebs like you?
>>62022890Quite right, but there is like 30 million "genius" level (>140) guys and gals out there.
>>62014210Wealth is about networking and gatekeeping, not actually providing value to society
>>62022996no those are not geniuses, genius is 145+, anything below is just a midwit, and the number of millionaires worldwide is 60 million
>>62023059>genius is 145+That would still be around ten million people.>anything below is just a midwitMidwit is, quite literally speaking, the middle population of the intelligence distribution, which would be from 85-115.
>>62014210>tfw got 136 IQ>Doing great, set for success>Develop schizophrenia at age 22>life ruined
>>62023970Yeah, life is a bitch. "Justice" is the biggest lie perpetuated through history. The universe doesnt give a shit.
>>62014210I think a valuable life experience is spending some time with retards. I'm most likely a midwit and as a teenager I worked in a warehouse. The people I worked with were unfathomably dumb. Like they barely got through elementary school. It's kinda scary that people like this are a large part of the population.
>>62016486I'm a 130 IQ semi-autist with a decent face and 6'2 in height.Women are completely and utterly out of my access. Too less of a normie that they vibe with you or make connection possible, not smart enough to quickly emulate a normie persona effortlessly and non-draining. Also I have zero clue where to even meet women in the first place.
IQ does not matter, the only thing that matters is how much money you make and what you inherited. in an era of idiot-proof funds like treasuries and indexed ETFs there's always a safe space to park your money and even 90IQlets can take advantage
>>62024100i mean i can still somewhat function, schizophrenia doesnt have to be life ruining
>>62022890I'm one of The Thousand
another fellow 115 iq here, I know that feelyour average knuckle dragger considers me smart and informed but at this iq range all you really know and understand is just how much you do not know
>>62014210>>62014233>>62014341Where are you all testing your IQ?I was tested at age 12 in a formal setting for Mensa entry and got 142 on the Stanford Binet test....A couple of days ago I did a 30 minute test online (a supposedly reliable enough one) and it came back 105. I can't tell if I'm now in denial or if it could really be that far off the mark?I feel smart. I'd be very surprised if I was 105. But I also can't think of many ways to actually prove it.
>>62028418Was the test RPM?in my experience S-B is heavy on verbal/spatial/numerical so you may get a wildly different score on other types
>>62028418Also if you score 142 S-B and 105 RPM you're probably just high verbal/memory.Doesn't mean you're getting dumber. Just testing different aspects
>>62028442For the most part yes, or similar pattern recognition.It was this one: https://brght.org/ ...I read about it on Redd...oh fuck. I am fucking 105...oh Jesus.
>>62028418https://mensa.dk/iqtest/ for online tests, though it obviously isn't the complete real deal (still strongly correlated).
>>62028460That's a bigger question for me actually. If one is high verbal/memory IQ are we like... The midwits within the midwits?Still can't do maths/physics but CAN reason logically and torture oneself to a genius degree. Fuck.
>>62028481I score around 155 to 160 on Stanford BinetI only got 122 on that one. It was harder than usual for me
>>62028497This gave me 133. I'll take it. Plus, I trust the Germans.
>>62028609Not sure why I score so particularly poorly with this test then. Strange. Got 133 in the one anon provided and it was pattern recognition only too.Any way I knew I was way too angry to be 105. Validated
>>62028498Not sure. I studied geology and biology because less math and more memorizingMedical or law would also work
>>62028628The numbers and weights kicked my ass
>>62028637Oh actually, now that you say it - same.I found the viewing shapes in 3D then in plan extremely easy too as I'm an architect so very used to that.>>62028629I studied architecture because I'm indeed a midwits and ignored the many many warnings not to. It is indeed a life of suffering but hopefully I'll leave my mark on the world in some small way at least eventually.
>>62028618>dk>germans
>>62028650Yes I think SB has more spatial and verbal.I also love rotating objects in my head. Super easy. Architecture is cool. Good use of your spatial visualization
>>62028663Yes dk.D stands for Deutsche and K stands for kill yourself :3
