Thread 33533468

Paid 277 dollars. Took the test. Scored 79. I'm a fucking retard and I should have blown my retarded brains all over the shiny mensa club floor. Unless....you anons know how I could increase my IQ?

>>33533468 (OP)
There are certain pressure points in your skull you can actually increase IQ if you hit them moderately hard with a hammer. Just use trial and error until you feel smarter. It worked for me I am a scientist now.

>>33533468 (OP)
Taking an online IQ test (I presume, that's what most midwits who either score insanely high or low do) and paying for it is a true show of mental retardation, I don't know what to tell you anon.

>>33533468 (OP)
>how I could increase my IQ
You cannot.
You can learn the test mechanic but that does not make you more intellingent even if your IQ points get higher. (IQ and intelligence very often mistaken to each other)
Intelligence is partly inherited partly developed skill (like cancer: you need to be an affinity but environment to grow too). Don't be mad though, high IQ is almost every time a sign of the inbalance in your brain. Most likely Autism or ADHD. (however these are not necessary causes high IQ)

Yes, you are a retard.

>>33533664
Why don't you give some advice. You know this isn't /r9k/ where you get to bully people?

You could try things like, you know, reading. A big part of IQ is also pattern recognition and problem solving, so you could practice puzzles and thought exercises. Learning and understanding "noble" games like Chess or Igo could be a fun way to increase your number.

nerve exercise works only so-so after mid-20s. yes, the brain can still repair itself but only a bit. for actual improvements, one should exercise it in their youth

Looks like bait but in case it's not
Was this an online test or IRL test? I don't know what the difference is exactly but a lot of online tests are bs, some are outright scams that make you do a little test then charge you money for results, and they aren't in controlled enviornments. Allegedly factors like how well you slept and how you ate can affect your score.

IQ CAN be increased to some extent. There are 2 kinds of IQ, one called G IQ which is the genetic unchangable intelligence, and then there's another the name of which I can't remember but Edward Dutton has mentioned (he's where I heard it from), that's changable, that can be raised by a number of points. This is all stuff I've heard years ago. I know Ed Dutton talked about it in a number of videos about IQ and Ryan Faulk of The Alternative Hypothesis. I'm sure you could find things elsewhere too. Lots of gay disinfo and pop science around it as well so if you are serious about it you want to put forth real effort in learning about it but maybe it wouldn't even be worth a damn.

I will say that I find it a bit hard to beleive you have an IQ of 79 and are posting here but I don't know. Certainly don't waste your brain on porn and tiktoks if you want your mental capabilities to be at their best.

>>33533468 (OP)
Yes you are a retard and you will die for it. I promise.

>>33533468 (OP)
>porn posters confirmed to be retards

Thanks for making my day, anon

>>33533468 (OP)
79 is borderline mental retardation so I very much doubt that the test is accurate given that you were able to type those sentences out. That said, paying money to take an IQ test IS retarded.

xDDDDDDDDDDDDDD chuckled for a good fuckin 15 seconds

>>33533468 (OP)
The only retarded thing about you is paying $277 for a worthless test. If you actually had a 79 IQ you'd be sitting in your own shit babbling incoherently

>>33535537
Braincells not just repairing but growing new connections. It got recently (less than a year ago) prooved. Obviously it's hard but not impossible. See more: neuroplasticity.

>>33533468 (OP)
IQ doesn't really matter, you have to learn how to monetize your skills efficiently. IQ really doesn't mean anything so don't worry about it. It's alright to be stupid, you can still learn good skills, it will just take some more effort.

Find Jesus and study the bible. I recommend lutheranism.

>>33540864
there's a direct causal link between the first two things you listed

>>33533468 (OP)
People with extremely high IQs have been quoted saying how much they don't matter. The only retarded thing your doing is believing it matters.

>>33540901
cope

>>33540901
this is just countersignaling and humblebragging. Like rich people wearing ripped jeans

Sounds like you got results before even taking the test.

Go back to /b/ or /r9k/ where abuse is rampant. People here need actual advice and help.

IQ score reflects your ability to solve IQ tests. It can indicate something about your int but it's not all there is. Similarly, you can try and play puzzle games to see how you fare there

>>33533468 (OP)
IQ testing was initially meant to check for retardation, not intelligence. That's why if you are actually intelligent you are not supposed to bother with testing or even care about scoring. Only idiots care about IQ

>>33544842
This is a pretty uninformed take. IQ tests are a useful diagnostic tool for both extremes of intelligence. I had middling grades in school but my teachers thought I was much more intelligent than my grades reflected, so my parents sent me to a psychologist to take the Weschler to see what was up. Turned out my IQ was pretty high (158 on the 15-pt scale), and the regional magnet high school admitted me based on those Weschler results. And it turned out that my school teachers were right and my grades were because I was incredibly bored, once I got to the magnet school my grades went to straight A's and I wound up getting a full ride to college with a National Merit scholarship and some fellowships to pay for food, board, books & incidentals.

>>33533485
there's a handful of cases of normal adults suddenly become an actual savant by getting hit in the head so it's not impossible.

>>33545399
That’s why I said ‘initially’. Because that’s exactly how IQ testing had started, to measure ‘mental age’ and screen for learning disabilities. How it ended up becoming a dick measuring contest later on I don’t know and I don’t care. Though I do acknowledge that you at least got some benefit out of your testing, since the school who admitted you bought into the IQ metric.

How is your personal life outside of academics and/or career though? Because for every high achiever I see who did well in school and college, they almost always fall flat on their ass when real life hits them once their education ends and they have to cope with the real world.

>>33533468 (OP)

Actual retards are usually pretty chill. If you're panicking and want to self-improve, that shows you're probably more in 90-100 range. Which is alright. At least you can be happy working at some factory, watching sportsball, and wifing up a fat single mom.

>>33533485
Don’t tell this to the retard, he might actually do it.

>>33543068
idk, you always hear people with big dicks saying size matters because they get validation from women, but who do high IQ people get validation from? what does it really matter if you're unable to make genuine human connections? at times i've thought i would rather be a happy retarded chad than a genius internet weirdo, at least then i would be too stupid to realize how meaningless my life is.

>>33545995
Yeah, no. IQ requires effort/will to accompany it, or it will stab you in the back. Jeff Bezos is a good example of a galaxy brain with endless amounts of energy and effort.

>>33545876
Great. Married 27 years to a woman that is also high IQ that went to a different magnet school, we met after college through mutual friends. Never had to worry about how to pay the bills, never had to worry about getting laid off from work. We own our house, have several million in savings, and getting regular royalties from the oil & gas company that's operating the wells on our land in the country. Life is good. I'll be retiring in a year or so, I could retire now but I'm still enjoying my current job.
As for work, every employer turned out to have some problem that would really transform the company if only they could figure out a solution, and at some point I would overhear this and promptly figure it out and find myself deeply involved in that high profile project, reporting directly to somebody in the C suite, with the authority to hand out very nice bonuses. Quite financially lucrative, though the stress can get quite high and tends to trigger my bipolar. It's been pretty calm the last decade though, the "unsolvable problem" for my current employer turned out to be pretty trivial, so things have been pretty comfy.

>who do high IQ people get validation from
Teachers in high school, professors in college. Once you're out in the real world then you don't really get much validation. Some people cope by medicating themselves senseless, some just go neet, some an hero. I never really cared what other people thought of me as long as the pay was good and there were the occasional fun problems to solve, so it didn't bother me.

>>33546572
>but who do high IQ people get validation from?
From reality. They earn more and just holistically do less dumb shit. Worst of all, most of their advantage will be inherited by their offspring.
It feels good to deny this because believing in a just world is comforting.

>>33545399
And all of the teachers got out of their seats and gave me a round of applause, I later went home to watch rick and morty.

>>33533468 (OP)
Basing your self worth on some bullshit test score is cringe. Intelligence and retardation presents itself differently in everybody, we only use iq because it's the only way we can present intelligence in a measurable way, reducing someone's whole pool of knowledge down to a single number, leaving out all detail of what this person is specifically good at. It's a very 'human' and unnatural thing.
Over half of the engineers I know are socially inept and can barely use their hands but have incredible minds, almost all tradesmen I know can't spell or control their temper but are very skilled and have excellent spacial awareness. OP, I'm certain there are aspects to you that are very good that a dumb iq test isn't going to score you for, however financial literacy probably isn't on that list.
