There's a growing obsession with IQ in 'some parts' of the internet, but the way it's used clearly reveals that those who cite it have little to no clue what it really is, and don't care to learn
IQ tests are good tests of the areas they measure. But they don't cover every area of intelligence. There are some things that are hard to measure, like your ability to tell the future or to read minds. Of course these things are not based on the paranormal, but on one's ability to pick up on body language cues and micro expressions, and to look back into history and put together the dots you follow into the future to know what's going to happen.
Anyone who claims an IQ of over 160 can automatically be asked "which test did you take? What was the experience like?"
If they say something that aligns with a sort of final exam format, something with multiple choice or written essay questions, you can know that they did not take an IQ test.
Maybe it's time for people to start paying attention and giving a little air time to those who are really tested high iq. Not only those people, but at least those people. Because you don't get a false positive on a test like that. Why forgo all the benefits we can get from listening to the highly intelligent, especially in a world as screwed up as this one is?
Maybe we can put our egos aside and see where people have strengths, and listen to them within those strengths. Pretty much everyone has a strength or several. There's no harm in letting them flex in those areas and taking a page from their books.
You'd think someone with an IQ of 136 who was also the greatest criminal detective in human history (wasn't even aware they provided metrics for such a thing) would:
A) Be doing more impressive things than writing incoherent comments on an inconsequential substack post
Well articulated. It is like meausring someone's body weight to determine their health. This would be incorrect because body weight is not the sole determinent of health. For example, a body builder weighing 90 kgs and your average Joe weighing 90 kgs will mean different things from an overall health perspective.
I hate it. I do not know what my IQ is, nor do I care. It is a tool of scientific racism as employed in The Bell Curve. I am very sure that Duke Ellington was a genius regardless of his IQ.
well, when I took my iq test thing, it was 136. degree in ecology and energy an environmental engineering.
in 2020 I became the works leading virologist, a month later I was the works leading immunologist, the next month I became the greatest criminal detective in human history, an a paranormal investigator, later I became "science jesus" and the worlds leading epistemiologist.
while you may have studies the brain, for 20 years, clearly you have no idea about the existence of the Darkfoce phenomon, as referenced studies an open by myself, for 4 years. observe by Carl Sagan, Dr Clare Craig, Dr Bhakdi and clearly defined by Bret Weinstein. he correctly stated "some force is keeping us in the dark, it is keeping us from readily available answers, so that we keep injuring ourselves.
Sir, we live in a worl where the world's experts are TOTALLY "fucking retarded" (that's the science term). and so is 99.999% of everyone else. therefore all you self proclaimed determination that you know how intelligence works on this planet, is sadly, utterly wrong.
one good way to measure if someone is utterly retarded zombie ie or not, is they are utterly convinced they are amazing smart and the world needs to listen. however they can't have a simple back and forward sustained conversation about these facts with me. I'll happily send you a streamyard link so we can talk about this "intelligence decimating" phenomon, but it's statistically likely your one of the zombies too. so you will find excuses or ignore.
so the test isn't even difficult to establish. especially given how important a subject it is.
if you scroll substack and ask "is this just a plant of idiot zombies saying how great they are and what they think" with no good discussion, then you will see this phenomon in action. or find any doctors channel an observer how 1) no doctors or influencers discuss science in their own comments and 2) nobody is learning basics after 4 years, most can't even demonstrate they heard what the doctor explained to them.
in the words of William Robert Neville."
In I Am Legend (2007), Dr. Robert Neville (played by Will Smith) explains what happened to humanity in a conversation with Anna. Here’s the exact transcription of his speech from that scene:
---
Dr. Robert Neville:
"Social de-evolution appears complete. Typical human behavior is now entirely absent."
(Anna looks at him, confused.)
Anna:
"What are you talking about?"
Neville:
"The world is quieter now. We just have to listen. If we listen, we can hear God’s plan."
Anna:
"God’s plan?"
Neville:
"Yeah." (Pause) "Let me tell you about your 'God’s plan.' Six billion people on Earth when the infection hit. KV had a 90% kill rate, that's 5.4 billion people dead. Crashed and bled out, dead. Less than 1% immunity. That left twelve million healthy people like you, me, and Ethan. The other 588 million turned into your Darkseekers. And then they got hungry. And they killed and fed on everybody. Everybody! Every single person that you or I have ever known is dead! Dead!"

That’s the full speech he gives to Anna when she mentions God’s plan. It’s a critical moment where Neville, who has lost all faith, expresses the sheer scale of the catastrophe.
the entire planet is brain dead, I'm afraid, friend. I walk around and all I see is brain dead people. they don't know they are brain dead.
A lot of the people self estimating their own IQ as being very high are using their SAT/ACT scores, which have been shown to be highly correlated with IQ scores (at least at a certain point in time).

B) Know how to spell 'world's' and 'studied'
I haven’t been on here long. Is that kind of comment common?
I have long held that standardized tests and IQ tests and the like measure one thing extremely well: how well you take standardized tests.

I have scanned your comment for flaws or errors and found none. No notes.
