My IQ was professionally tested at 110. That's why I don't feel bad about reading midwit books. I AM a mitwit book, so of course I'll read the appropriate literautre.

Those Mensa Denmark/Norway IQ tests are inflated, feel-good tests that many upper midwits should be able to max, but the tests do have some value in that if you can't max them, you know that your real (WAIS, SB) IQ is almost certainly less than 120 and that there's no need to bother paying a neuropsychologist to give you a real test. So a result of 115 on the Mensa Denmark test indicates that your real IQ is almost certainly less than 120 and likely significantly less than 115.
>>
>>24088066
I scored 123 on this just now but I've taken these before so I guess it can probably be thrown out since I kind of knew what to expect. I don't remember what I scored before. But what really shook me with this one is that this one was actually weirdly fun and engaging and it just felt like a really cool puzzle game. Like I would do this solving patterns thing for fun, it's kind of amazing how clever and impossible the later ones are. Oh, right, favorite book? Don't have one :)
>>
>>24088375
To append to this, they had me take an "actual" iq test before and whereas this is just having you perform one task the whole time, in an "official" one or whatever you're performing a bunch of different tasks that require very different skills from each other. With this one in particular, like, solving all these shape pattern puzzles doesn't test to find your memory and your memory is obviously super important to be able to be "smart" in a practical sense. My memory fucking sucks dick so when I learn something it's quickly gone and I have to relearn it again and that's not a good trait to ever actually becoming good or skilled or knowledgeable about something.

It's just about patterns, see what's changing and staying the same in each
I'll admit some of the final ones are extremely hard though, mostly because sometimes the pattern is hard to grasp. For example in this one you're supposed to realize there's no repeating colors on rows or columns, kind of like sudoku

I don't take the test because I've lost half my brain to alcoholism anyway. When asked, I usually name Max Frisch, Homo Faber as my favourite book, simply because I remember liking it when I had to read it for class.

I could have honestly enjoyed the book without any of the twists, though.

128. Idk I don't really read. I'll read a little bit from the bible once in a while when I need something from God, then once ever year or so I'll pick up a book to better myself, but I always give up 10% of the way through out of boredom, laziness, and a deep underlying feeling that it doesn't make difference, and that I'm not going to gain anything from it anyways. I always score 127-129 on these online IQ tests. I'm either much dumber than that in reality, or I'm just a deadbeat loser who wasted my 28 years on this earth consuming nothing but pure brainrot, and never did anything to live up to my potential.

you're taking it too seriously. 4chan is not real life.

i literally just selected H>>24089761
for every question. IQ tests only exist to determine immediate comprehension they show nothing about the ability to adapt to new environments and learn new skills overtime. People that take IQ tests seriously are usually very arrogant people.
someone that has good comprehension but poor adaptability isnt going to look very smart to someone who realized later what they should do or could have done but has good adapability.
It's like surviving in the wilderness. an bushcraft youtuber died november/december of 2024 because he had poor adaptability skills. He tried to use Woods bushcraft in a place known for becoming a tundra in the fall/winter months and froze to death. He was smart but a complete dumbass because he couldnt adapt to his environment even in the freezing cold he still treated it like he was surviving in a forest. He could comprehend the situation. He understood that he was in the middle of a blizzard, but could not adapt for it

but also, he's notoriously one of the smartest men in chess anyway
point is, you don't have to be generally intelligent to be good at chess
to quote Bobby Fischer: "I object to being called a chess genius because I consider myself to be an all around genius who just happens to play chess, which is rather different. A piece of garbage like Kasparov might be called a chess genius, but he's like an idiot savant. Outside of chess he knows nothing."

Clinical IQ tests comprise of multiple subtests generally categorized into verbal and nonverbal domains. Matrix tests, such as the one you linked, are notorious for having one of the weakest correlations to full scale IQ (the composite score derived from all administered subtests), relatively speaking. Their correlation with even the nonverbal component of IQ often ranks among the weakest in a full test suite. They also have a very low "g-loading" (a statistical measure of the extent to which performance on a task is indicative of general cognitive ability) compared to other subtests.

Online Mensa tests are essentially assessments of spatial ability and nonverbal working memory, accounting for only about one fifth of the independent factors contributing to full scale IQ; the remaining index scores may swing wildly and in any direction. Ironically *checks board* and in spite of the knee-jerk criticism they receive, active vocabulary tests asking for explicit, accurate and precise definitions best predict overall intelligence.

Okay. Now, tell my why this table is incorrect. Depending on the source, I find different g-loadings for different subtests of the WAIS-IV, so there even appear to be a consensus on which subtests approximate g the best in the scientific community.

I talked about the prevailing trend across IQ tests, not about one specific IQ test. More to the point, perhaps if you'd channeled that eagerness better, you might have even found some calculated values for the g-loading of online Mensa tests and come to terms with why they are a joke.

And for what it's worth, WAIS-IV's matrix reasoning subtest becomes lousy starting near 120-130 (and to the surprise of no one who has seen more than one real IQ test). In fact, the whole test itself is rather shitty and inflated past 130 IQ when there are tests with superior discriminating power, although its sheer breadth in tested areas and high accuracy near 100 has earned it the "gold standard" moniker

IQ definitely measures something real, or attempts to. Are there blind spots? Yes. Of course. But it’s still standard. Reaction times are correlated. The ability to think on the spot is correlated.

Of course it will favor people who think more swiftly or traditionally, and disfavour those that do not, but it’s still a measure, it’s just a proxy of sorts. You have have a high iq/capacity and still not think all that critically.

Brilliant Chinese mathematicians worship Mao in their bathrooms. That’s not very critically intelligent.

135 is safely above midwit but to understand college math well you need north of 140 IQ

I think 140 IQ would be more than enough for math PhD level, math PhDs in this study had average of 128 IQ:

>>
>>24095514
The generally agreed upon percentile to be proficient in any field is to be one standard deviation above the average in that field, and that corresponds to a little over 140 IQ. At the average you are just that and certainly won't be coasting

But being a proficient math PhD student with an IQ 1 SD above the average PhD student is definitely more than just understanding college math, that's surely on the level to become a college math professor/mathematician.
130 was also the average IQ of academics in the mathematics working in Cambridge (an elite university) in the 1960s. So understanding college math isn't as exclusive as you made it out to be.

>The generally agreed upon percentile to be proficient in any field

Also one small unreplicated shit study doesn't mean anything. The US Employment Services conducted a comprehensive General Aptitude Test Battery on thousands of people of various occupations and found math people average 132 with an 11 point standard deviation, source: Manual for the USES General Aptitude Test Battery: Development. That's authoritative data. And it agrees with countless independent analyses performed on data from the official Volume and Performance Information reports released by the ETS on the Graduate Record Examination examinee population coupled with what is known about the IQs of college graduates.

We already know the average student at elite universities, at least in America, is in excess of 135 IQ from millions of normative data samples gathered during the 80s and 90s on college-bound students in the US. The average *math* student at those institutions is hovering near 140.

130 IQ is only 1 in 44 people. That's one person in every/every other high school class. Nothing special whatsoever. The average math PhD student gets a B in their math coursework and was no math superstar as an undergrad. Given the data, 140 IQ is 1 in every 3 math PhD students and corresponds to the student who barely makes it into the A grade category. It really is a generous cutoff

I have used the manual and it has tables with IQ means and standard deviations for hundreds of occupations.
>One manual says though that mathematician has a recommended cut-off of 123 IQ
That makes sense as a lower cut-off because 123 is roughly one standard deviation below their mean IQ. The 16th percentile is a very bad place to be at in any group. You can be fairly sure that any 123 IQ, regardless of how much they studied, would perform abysmally at the standardized math tests you have to take to apply to graduate math programs.

I found the tables you mean. However, the standard deviation you claim is wrong, it's 11 and 143. You have to convert the standard deviation as well. So what you mean is 132 with a standard deviation of 8.25. Below mathematician is physician and basically all types of engineers, at 127, same standard deviation.
>>
>>24097445
No, it isn't wrong, and I meant exactly what I said: the reported mean and standard deviation for their IQ are 143 and 14, respectively, on a 20 points = 1 general population standard deviation scale. Rescaling to the standard 15 point scale and rounding to the nearest integer gives the figures I wrote
