What if I'm extremely retarded? My IQ is between 120-125, so yes, midwit. But what if I have a profound retardation in me that eludes formal testing? Like, I've definitely made decisions a down syndrome wouldn't even make. Am I lacking something? Can you tell by the way I'm writing this?

>>81955952 (OP)
IQ is literally just pattern recognition
>Like, I've definitely made decisions a down syndrome wouldn't even make
smart people do dumb things sometimes
dont worry about it too much desu

>>81955952 (OP)
Yes. It's probably autism based on where you are posting, a neurodivergence that makes it so you don't have a "social mind" and very little non-cognitive empathy.

It has nothing to do with IQ it's a 0.1x multiplier to your EQ however also anyone who unironically uses the term 'midwit' is a brainlet sorry

Sigh, what do you mean "between 120-125", this reeks of a guestimation based on online IQ test performance

>>81956137
I mean I took some percentile scores in aptitude tests I took and figured out my IQ from there, IQ being all about percentile. I got 122. But paradoxical intelligences were present. As in literally genius-tier in some categories and painfully average in others. Asymmetrical cognitive profile.

>>81956173
So in other words you don't know your IQ score, have never taken an IQ test, and you're wasting my fucking time, you're likely retarded much like you suspect

>>81956173
Sounds exactly like autism bro...or more specifically a presentation psychologists would have called 'Aspergers' before DSM-5. Superb pattern recognition skills combined with a unrivalled talent for organized/systematic thinking yet held back by painfully rigid thinking. Does that sound like you?

You have teh big ghey

>>81955952 (OP)
Bro if you're scoring less than 145 on an online IQ test, you're retarded. But if you think IQ matters in general, you may have brain damage, or be a virulent white supremacist. Just as an example, my dad had his IQ tested at 128 and doesn't understand algebra or basic chemistry and thinks climate change is a chinese hoax. Does he sound smart to you? IQ is fucking meaningless.

>>81955952 (OP)
if you have above average IQ and feel retarded you probably have ADHD

>>81956282
Why would you ever need to understand algebra or even basic chemistry in daily life, sounds based to me, elaborate on this Chinese hoax theory of his

>>81956294
what is this insane anti-intellectualism? chemistry is everything, literally everything. if you have even a basic understanding of how things interact on the fundamental level, you can see through a lot of bullshit. but on a day to day basis it improves your cooking dramatically, lets you see through bs advertising, know what chemical you need to clean something, i could go on, but if you have an iq of 125, i shouldn't have to. algebraic logic teaches you how to solve numerical problems, which arise constantly throughout your life, such as how to turn one or more materials into useful shapes. and what is there to elaborate on about the chinese hoax? its a trump conspiracy theory he believes because he doesn't understand basic quantum mechanics and cant understand any level of explanation of how climate change works.

>>81956395
Okay that's a lot of words to say you don't understand what it means to say Algebra and Chemistry in terms of how they apply to regular day to day life, you're extrapolating chemistry to mean fundamental cooking precepts like knowing applying oil will cause eggs to not stick to a pan you obtuse fucking retard, it doesn't require knowledge of the planck constant to figure that out

>>81956425
this is a waste of my time. you are not very bright and probably cant cook for shit.

>>81956458
Learn to properly format your writing and how to arrive at the point in a timely manner, preferably the correct one

>>81956458
>not very bright
>algebraic logic teaches you how to solve numerical problems, which arise constantly throughout your life, such as how to turn one or more materials into useful shapes
>Literally saying nothing

You are severely retarded if you think IQ doesn't matter.

>>81955952 (OP)
profound retardation in me that eludes formal testing
GOES HARD AFFF

>>81955952 (OP)
120 isn't midwit.
midwit is 115 and less

>>81956395
>chemistry is everything, literally everything.
There's also magic O_O
which is actually everything

>>81955952 (OP)
120-125 is not midwit, most people you interact with dont even have 110

Why are people so readily able to admit others are
TALLER
STRONGER
FASTER
MORE ATTRACTIVE
yet, people are never able to admit others are smarter than them?
curious

>>81956567
you're the idiot if you cant find places to apply the information you have learned. nobody is going to hold your hand and spell out for you how to use it. i have used my math to make fun builds on path of exile and become a runescape trillionaire. *you* have to figure out where to use it and if you cant, you may not be as smart as you think you are.

>>81956684
Ask chat gpt what's a good job for skill set

>>81956602
Well, I write a lot.

>>81956684
No it's just I find it extremely hard to believe that it's your father's lack of retention of high school level Algebra that causes him a deficit in his ability to change a tire, you're mapping Algebra onto what it doesn't colloquially mean in a classic instance of pedantic deflection when called on your bullshit
