Understand beneath the jargon.

Compare these two wikipedia articles:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2,6-Dichlorobenzonitrile&oldid=1248640211
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Trifluralin&oldid=1290047998
Both on herbicides, it's a fair comparison.

One cites everything in massive quotes from government sources, including the boilerplate, the horrible verbiage, including on shit that's a total nothingburger, and making sure you know it's from the Bla-bla-ville State of Bla University Department of Cum 1972. One summarises sources (sometimes the same sort of government twaddle) and spits out just the raw facts in a few words each, omitting the generic facts that apply to every single chemical ever.
One looks at "medical use" for a fucking herbicide, because the author doesn't care that it's another unrelated field he's an amatuer at.

It's a statistic made up of other statistics, so we can't deterministically say. (pls don't grill me on terminology. you know what i mean)
The answer is that someone with 130iq is more likely to be either more efficient at a random intellectual task, or is more likely to have a higher average efficiency over some randomly selected intellectual tasks.
by intellectual i just mean tasks that are more demanding of how you use your brain than the rest of your body.

think recursively via meta-narratives. they can insert themselves into a different cognitive role and explore how this alternate being cogitates. for example, Alice will call Bob a faggot. Alice will then imagine how Bob might react, such as Bob saying he's not a faggot because Charles is his model friend whom he's not attracted to. Alice will be juggling her own cognition, Bob's counter-cognition and Bob's influence through Charles (recursion). midwits are simply incapable of this, which is why they miss the forest for the trees and get hung up on the minutiae of irrelevant details. midwits are also incapable of playing with melodic sonance within language itself. this can come in the form of iambic pentameter, assonance, alliteration, homonyms, homophones, or more. playing with the rhythm of language while communicating indicates to others that recursive style of thinking (not just what you say, but how you say it). note that this isn't de facto poetry.

Weird. I can intuit this kind of thing pretty well as a person with 100iq sperg, but I suck at a bunch of other things.
You're assuming someone with a higher IQ will necessarily be better at a specific task, which isn't true.

Not a great deal, I think.
120-125ish is kind of a cut-off point where the (usually) faster cognitive speed hits the cap of attaining basic competency at most tasks very quickly, and you're unlikely to be capped by a lack of intellectual ability in most fields. Any differences in outcome or achievement beyond this point is likely due to factors other than IQ, such as drive and ambition, available resources, social ability/connections.

So... does this mean that you could train a literal chimpanzee to perform well on IQ tests?
Just like you said, it doesn't measure actual intelligence, but how well you perform on IQ tests. You can train for these tests and then score higher than average, but your actual intelligence wouldn't have changed just by training for these specific tests.

People who are more educated might have seen those tests (or some of the questions) before, and would score artificially higher than someone who don't have previous access to them. So is it really reliable as a general test of intelligence?

OBVIOUSLY.

1SD means you are noticeably above average

120IQ is smarter than most people on earth, you will not struggle with pretty much any cognitive task.


130IQ is very smart

my IQ is 145+ rarely get to brag bc it makes me a dick instantly


Its possible that I feel a desire to have my intelligence recognized/validated, because I chose not to pursue academic achievement, an environment+peer group where intelligence would be more valued

I am a bit insecure about my level of education


I have also just never fit in anywhere, except for 2 other very high IQ people I know from early teens.


when I was younger my parents were pressured often to have me moved to a gate program (never went)
I think I took the wisc-IV around this time

I think at the extremes, you tend to be very advanced much earlier relative to every else (deviations from norm)


I had a very advanced vocabulary and articulated like a little adult around pre k.

I did alot of self directed study for a primary school student.


it about DEVIATING relative to other people.

quite frankly, I have a constant sense of being surrounded by idiots.

though I realize this is irrational, not really useful attitude.

I think, actually, alot of times people are not stupid, just misinformed. that, or maintaining rational integrity is not important to most people

Vocabulary is highly correlated with brain bigness even though there is a luck factor with it obviously, higher intelligence people both seek out more complex text and retain more of what they encounter.

somewhat, though, I think having aspergers affects this impression.

I cannot believe how many people just eat up fallacious reasoning .

that 160iq memory girl I mentioned, really hated studying spinoza in her philosophy class, she just found the assignment required her to think in a way that felt unintuitive for her.
but I LOVED spinoza, my own writing in highschool happen to match his work closesly when I discovered him later. spooky.

I found his approach to agree with my brain. I appreciate of Schopenhauer, he expresses angst I feel into words nicely.

I HATE. HATE HATE HATE HATE nietzche

nietzche is for idiots. if you like him, I am convinced you are a lower IQ person. Not compelling, I realize, it is my own shortcoming.

dostoevsky is a cry baby faggot.

his writing is unreadable.

she would watch alot of political streamer debates, I noticed her fail to pick up on fallacious arguments quite often.

I know for a fact a psychiatrist administered her IQ test, it's all certified.

so theres no question, she is very very bright.

so, I am hesitant to write it off as people being too stupid to catch tricks, it's more like ignorance.

so called popular intellectuals are EGREGIOUS abusers of appeals to emotion.

I notice this alot with men who are drawn to intellectualism because they want identify with "men=logical"


they are basically lacking insight and mistake Intellectualizing their own neurosis as actually THINKING

though, you see this everywhere in academia


I am endlessly saddened by the unwillingness to examine. even with creative work like drawing/painting, the amount of students I try to socialize with who have shit taste/make shit work.

just bc they dont think about what they look at and create.


dont even get me started with the state of psychology, the amount of damage being done is maddening.


but I LOVE spinoza, I found his approach to agree with my brain.

This lol. I did some tests irl and my range was from 115 to 132, basically 1 SD above the mean.

When I got 115 I’d read comments from people online claiming they were 130+ and just laugh, because they were clearly dumber than me in the things they said and the lack of logic in their statements.

I kept getting tweets from people dunking on midwits (110-129 IQs) as if they were sure they are at least 130. Its so funny.

They have no idea the 115 “midwit” they make fun of is actually smarter than them.

Online tests dont count. I doubt it. You don’t sound 3 SDs above the mean.

My IQ is 120 and I do. To the point where I alienate myself from people. Even online, I *wanna* enjoy twitter and tiktok or whatever, but I can’t bring myself to open those apps because I am fatigued from reading people’s stupid opinions and their idiotic thoughts, and I’m tired of seeing how many actually agree with the most basic 3rd grade level fallacies. So I just don’t.

I can imagine how it feels to +3 SDs.
