How IQ and Intelligence Affect Our Life (or Not!)

[@davidolsen8291]

This story is amazing, because it has a lot of subtle elements that match my personal experience. The father (who represents the scientific consensus on IQ, because his mathematical interpretation of IQ graphs is perfectly explained) is presented as authoritarian and abusive, rather than calm, rational, and informed. It is, and was, impossible for he non-genius son to accept IQ information without taking it personally, and becoming resentful. The female teachers who administer the IQ tests are portrayed as callous and out-of-touch, even though they CORRECTLY explain the scientific consensus on IQ by stating that you can't raise your IQ score more than about ten points. Like before, it was impossible for the non-genius son to hear this IQ information without taking it personally, and becoming resentful. The non-genius (older) son is presented as the hero of the story for BOTH refusing to open the envelope AND learning to forgive his abusive father. However, whenever an abusive father exists, the most logical conclusion is that he abused all of his children in some way. So if the non-genius (older) child is a victim of his father's abuse then so is his younger, genius brother! There is no heroism in rejecting valid scientific conclusions about IQ, especially when you lose empathy for your younger brother. The older brother's resentment prevents him from saying things like, "My little brother was so young and vulnerable when my father started abusing him. It was my job, as an older brother, to protect him - but I was too focused on my own pain to even try." Or, "I cannot undo my past failures with my younger brother, but I can make an effort to understand his side of the story WITHOUT judging him, so he can hopefully stop being depressed and find love." Still, if the story was written to highlight how normal-intellect people come to resent intellectually smarter people, then it did a really good job.

Hi David, you really did a great job analyzing the video. Thank you for sharing this. Yes, it is a very complex and emotional subject. And for once, as kind of an experiment, we tried to show the emotional side of it too, and not only the factual one. I wasn´t always sure we did the right thing by bringing in the emotional side, but after I read your comment I am very glad we did. It´s great to see how it triggers reflection and discussion since this is the only tool we have to deal with facts. Facts are always seen through our personal eyes. An open discussion is an opportunity to get a glimpse of something else. Thank you so much!

[@bluehometown167]

Second Birth this video was heavily centered on the older’s brother point of view, and to some it may even seem that the message of the story is that smart people will suffer in different ways that will make up for their blessing in the form of high intelligence. The commentor was saying how this video is biased to those with lower intelligence, and neglecting the point of view of those with a higher IQ.

Doesn’t mean it’s a bad story Edit: for all you people who are so concerned with whether or not it's true, does it really matter? People lie all the time and you have a 50-50 chance of guessing it. Sure, let's just say it's fake and get over with it if that makes you so happy. The point about stories and things in general is to learn things and you're supposed to take this story as a note to not let certain things stop you from being happy, especially if it's not major. Why do you care so much on whether or not it's true? Even stories that are "based on a true story" have exaggerations.

[@victordanielhaussmannlopez3610]

Bro, he's not saying us "don't measure your IQs!". I learn a little more about the concept of inteligence, the way that it's measured, about what it implies (and what it doesn't) and, much more important, that the IQ is not related with our happiness at all. So nobody should be afraid to do some IQ test, cause the results will not determine your future. Edit: When you simplify an idea so much, at a certain point you change it. So you can't summarize the full video in "the IQ doesn't matter" (well you can, but is a wrong idea).

[@TenHorizons]

I think measuring IQ is important but whether you can accept you inborn gifts is another matter. The benefits of measuring one's IQ include choosing one's career, have an idea of one's social capability, create more receptive environments for our children. Let's say you have an IQ of 90. You have a low chance of attending college so it's better that you prepare yourself for work. Let's say you have an IQ of 140. You may need help with socialising, and there should be proper channels for you to do so. Research like this shows that hey, I'm not a genius, but I'm like 50% of the population, or vice versa. It also shows how much your opinion may weigh against others, and how incapable most are in mentally challenging decisions. It destroys the belief that everyone can be a genius, and proper action must be taken to have us fully accept our abilities, and fully use them

[@mikerotchisonfire]

If you consider the whole story, the reasoning is pretty strong. The majority of his life has his father boasting about IQ making him feel inferior for not reaching the quota his brother did. Him not opening the envelope signified his defiance to not be a slave to it. To not be bound by a number because of an exam. Because he started to believe in himself to be more than just a number his father would've given him. What would knowing your IQ ever did for you? Make you realize your smarter or dumber than everyone else. The same variable can apply to strength. You can be weaker or stronger than the general average. Although you can work your ass off to make yourself stronger than possible you'll never surpass the guy with good genetics. It all boils down to talent. No matter how good you are, someone will always be better than you. Not wanting to know your IQ is just like not wanting to bother being in a competition. Everyone is good at something. Beating yourself up by thinking your dumb would only limit your opportunities. What's the point of knowing something as inevitable an IQ? What would that change?

[@Officialiwl]

It wasn't just the fact that his IQ was inferior to his brother's that he was scared of. If he opened envelope he would've found a future job that "suits" him and his IQ and that would have effect on his future. I think that's why he never opened it.

Not to downplay the importance of IQ in other areas mentioned at the beginning of the video, which are factually correct. Aside from the alleged new assessment with empirical support that the video's subject took in school (will have to read the research on that one), the video did a satisfying enough job in painting a picture of IQ and it's relevance to our happiness. At least in the 11 minutes it had. This is obviously not a comprehensive video. There's state-of-the-art books summarizing the whole of the field for that, and even those can be unexhaustive.

Well the IQ matters, for survival. Because of the evolution theory we can understand how IQ matter in the face of survival. Because you are so much smarter and better at solving problems you can also survive with debilitating chronic and or acute illnesses, either mental and or physical. But in today's society it might not work out being smart, and being able to solve problems, because today you have to go to work everyday to stay in a job and you have to be consistent everyday with everything. Well what if you're sick half the time, can't sustain a job or social relations because of the illnesses your genes has carried with them on top of the high IQ, your IQ might work against you instead of being a benefit. Having only high IQ might have worked to survive up to this point but now you need to stay healthy (never be sick), look good and be smart to do well in any kind of work, and most people that have high IQ has some kind of mental or physical illness that they struggle with on a daily basis impairing them from being able to achieve the job that fits their intelligence making them depressed and self destructive because of their unhappiness with their lives

[@vishalkalotra7631]

Can u please explain how to find the answer of 1st questions

[@theophiljed]

Hi @@vishalkalotra7631 So to find the volume of any cuboid, you have to apply the formula length × breadth × height. V = l×b×h. In other words, l × b × h = V In this case we have the volume, length and breadth but no height. Thus, following the formula: l × b × h = 64 8 × 4 × h = 64 32 × h = 64 h = 64 ÷ 32 h = 2 Therefore, h = 2 Or 8 × 4 × h = 64 h = 64 ÷ 8 ÷ 4 Let's work it in order h = (64 ÷ 8) ÷ 4 h = 8 ÷ 4 h = 2 To cross-check our answer, we can multiply the three factors, and if we get 64, we're right, otherwise there's an error. So now let's try 8 × 4 × 2 = 😃😃😃🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍

Paul-Napoléon Calland yeah but why expose your brother like that. If he really did suffer from depression I doubt he would like his brother outing him to the whole internet. I’m not saying he’s factually incorrect, he’s just morally wrong for that

[@NapoleonCalland]

@@BenjiM514 I can see your point. If he lives in a country like the USA, where your insurance can cost more if they know you suffer from depression, it's easy to understand why his brother might not want people to know. I suspect that names have been changed to protect privacy, and that they're deliberately "vague" about some of the details for the same reason. Personally, I was looking more at the moral of the story, because he's warning people against assuming that a high IQ means you'll have easy success (something that actually tends to lead to "imposter syndrome" in "gifted" people), so I read "dissing" more as interpreting his mentioning his brother's struggles as him taking potshots out of jealousy, and so missing the point he was trying to make. Looked at the way you put it, it does raise issues that arise when commenting on someone else's life. For all we know, having only the narrator's point of view, his brother could just as easily be gay or asexual, or doesn't want marriage and children like his older sibling, rather than not having "found the right woman yet". And in contrast to the conclusions we might draw too hastily (the absence-of-relationship-and-children comment just before the "outing" concerning his depression could be a non sequitur), his depression is probably due, at least in part, to a lifetime of trying to live up to other people's expectations, rather than taking care of his own needs. All of which, as I'm sure you agree, it's his business to disclose or not, particularly on the Internet.

My answers :)) 1) The height of the box is 2cm. SOLUTION : 8 x 4 = 32, 64/32 = 2CM 2) The answer is no. REASONING : I based my answer of off the wording in the question. It uses the implication that the answer must be “definitely” munhatsens. The actual information is intentionally vague, with the repeated use of “some”. We’re not sure which bargles are chongos/chongos are munhatsens EXACTLY, so as we are unable to prove some bargles are DEFINITELY munhatsens we can go with no. 3) My guess is 4 times. REASONING : 2 times would only give max the ability to buy 4 doors at most, but he needs 7. 7 times would be overkill as that could give him 49 doors lol. 4 is just enough as it allows a maximum of 8 doors, which is the closest to his desired amount. 4) Art is to wall as cup is to : CUPBOARD. REASONING : I assume this pertains to where the objects are commonly kept/placed. Paintings (art) are placed on walls and cups are placed on cupboards. 5) What is the missing number in this series? : 1, 16, X (unknown) , 625, 1296 SOLUTION : Now what’s common about all of these numbers? They are all squared. 1^2 is 1. 4^2 is 16. 9^2 is 81. 25^2 is 625, and 36^2 is 1296. Now that we’ve found this similarity, we only need to spot the pattern and use it to find X (our unknown number). 1^2 4^2 9^2 y^2 25^2 36^2 See the pattern? 1+ (3) is 4. 4+ (5) is 9. SKIPPING X, 25+ (11) is 36. So the pattern for each number is : (X+2) squared, with X being the previous number. The increase pattern as mentioned : 3, 5, q, p, 11 3 to 5 is an increase of 2. Hypothetically it would make the pattern : 3, 5, 7, 9, 11. 7 will be used for the solution for our missing number (X). So. 1 + 3 = 4. 4 + 5 = 9. 9 + 7 = 16. The answer is 16^2 = 256. The sequence is now : 1, 16, 256 , 625, 1296 TO CLARIFY, the pattern of the squared numbers is used to solve for X. 1^2. Add 3 to 1. 4^2. Add 5 to 4. 9^2. Add 7 to 9 16^2. Add 9 to 16. 25^2. Add 11 to 25. 36^2. The pattern above is the 3,5,7,9,11. Finding out the number to square was key in finding X. Once we knew it had a pattern of increasing by 2 (3+2 = 5, 5+2 = 7, and etc) we could determine what number would fit in y^2 to solve for X. So adding 7 to the previous number 9 is 16, which makes 16^2 = 256 the answer. That was fun lmao

The comments I read seem weird and harsh, but I like the message here and what you took from being in a very unique situation of having a genius brother. IQ is the best metric applicable within social science, and can be a huge predictor of life success...but after a certain score, probably around 105, a person’s conscientiousness, interest, and motivation become more important in predicting future success. 1. 2 2.

Happiness has nothing to do with IQ. But it doesn't have anything to do with a wholesome family either. After listening to the story and reading some comments, I reflect on my past as a student at the top of the class- where I often envied my classmates who seemed to have friends everywhere, be cheerful all the times while I was fussing over studying. Now I'm in university, not quite as hardworking and made some interesting friends, I would still find myself envying those students with GPA over 4, or who received some fancy achievement titles. The important thing we need to know is that the grass is ALWAYS greener on the other side. And even if we recognise the idea, a lot of times we still can't have complete control over our feelings. Instead of forcing ourselves to feel grateful or daydreaming about those "better" people are secretly sadder than us, we can just accept the FACT that we are not the best, never will be, and that's alright.

There is absolutely no reason to believe this. You might well be far below average at every important task. How can a test be narrow minded? You accept that you are as tall as you are, don't you? There is no downside to having a good size in practice and neither is there one to having high intelligence. Of course you can dream up an imaginary world, in which you in particular would be most fit, but the theoretical possibility of such a world is irrelevant.

Narcissistic father lead to a narcissitic older son ... and a damaged younger one due over pressure and unrealistic expectations. Also, I find it specious that you never actually learned your true IQ. And to conclude, many people with an IQ over 145 have trouble not due to what they are but how society treats them in general (like say: the big bang theory which is basically a collection of stereotypical insults to the community of high IQ people).

Having a low IQ is an unfortunate sign that one will be limited in what they accomplish in life. This is a hard reality that many try to refute, because while IQ is just a number, it represents genuine raw mental performance that translates into real world capabilities. When it comes to visualizing concepts in computer programming, you need a decently high IQ to wrap your head around the unique concepts faced when writing code as efficiently as possible and managing computer resources in order to run and troubleshoot your code. With that said, IQ and the mental performance it represents doesn’t predestine where you’ll end up in life. There are tons of high IQ individuals out there that have ended up as serial killers or have toiled away at research that doesn’t accomplish anything significant. You can have an average IQ and still do SO MUCH good for the world, to the point where your name could wind up in the history books. Figures like Jesus Christ, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Gandhi, etc. didn’t do anything that required a high amount of intelligence, even if they did possess it. They merely had the courage to do something no one else was willing to do, despite being capable. You don’t need a high IQ to refuse to give up your bus seat. You don’t need a high IQ to understand the power of non-violent protests. Sometimes you just need the initiative to do something that no one else was willing, but capable, of doing in order to be a hero…

I started reading before going to kindergarten. My parents always liked to talk about how gifted I was and how I read encyclopaedias and shit. I always had a lot of general knowledge and interest in shit like geography and national anthems vexilology etc. It made me anxious about the expectations they had. I was always humble about it. Maybe because I was a bit different until 7th grade or so and didn't have many friend until then. Maybe for some other reason. It eventually led to me being lazy and not studying. I still got relatively good grades but nothing close to the nerds of the class. Now I'm in public uni and I use my intelligence to amuse people. Have a laugh, say fun facts etc. Basically as a tool to entertain. I cultivate it alone. A person who looks at me or my grades wouldn't know a thing of it. And it's how I want it to be. As you said. You don't have to prove anything to anyone. And I'm really glad I turned out like this. Maybe I haven't hit my full potential because of it. And I'm ok with it. I just want a normal life. Intelligence is not everything. I value it a lot, but it is not my only focus. People shouldn't base themselves on only a single aspect of their personality.

Which one would you take? Well, I can already tell, and no, don't even try to deny it. We all know it. Everyone wants the best options. You could even argue from an evolutionary point of view, saying that you would like to have the best genes for your children, which is kind of our biological purpose. And well, same goes for the woman. So the women, especially the beautiful ones, want the smart ones, the outstanding ones, the attractive ones, the witty ones. It does not matter if you consciously or subconsciously perceive that you want the beautiful woman, you do anyways. I guess making it conscious just seems to give rise to this toxic idea revolving around status and high iq etc. But maybe, that is our true nature, a toxic one.
