Even the blonde girl had that biased. And I get it, having a hard degree and getting into an Ivy League Can mean you’re really smart, or also it can mean your disciplined and very goal oriented and anyone with normal amount of inteligence can do it if they start working on it at the right age. Not going to collage, getting into a job and climbing the ladder is the same, it can show they’re either very intelligent or very disciplined and good at what they do.

In higher education, almost everything is broken down into a science so that it can be researched. There’s just an endless amount of things to learn about the world (and universe). It’s also constantly changing and the way we study it is changing with new technology. Before exploring a career or topic, you feel like you’ve got it all figured out. Then you get into it and understand the range and how connected everything is as well as the variables that play a role. Especially when you study the origin or history. The universe is so vast. :-)

As an engineering PhD I absolutely agree too!! Like your choice of job (working at McDonald's vs. lawyer) may reflect IQ range very broadly, it's definitely not the whole story. Being a lawyer vs. engineer vs. consultant vs. successful small-business owner doesn't necessarily indicate who's smarter, just what skills they chose to spend their time honing. In doing the Ph.D., it's just another choice of job for the first 5-6 years after college. I feel like I just proved to myself that I have enough determination/perseverance to stick it through a hard project, and how to learn something new fast ... rather than like ... growing my IQ. Especially for like cancer biology, I know a lot of her time was spent growing cells, which is not that different from being a chef. Lol. Maybe if you were a math Ph.D. it would be different.

PhDs mean you're very knowledgeable about the one thing your PhD discusses. Five minutes in I knew she wouldn't be the smartest - smart people don't mouth-off. She reminds me so much of my ex-friend from high school who prided herself on being intelligent and then hated anyone who was more knowledgeable than her about anything. I really loved her and then found out she hated me because I was rank 1 in our history class while she was always rank 2 or 3 (which is still pretty fucking good???). The funny thing is, I think I only did better than her because I was more receptive to criticism on my work while she was adamant that she did things right. After we graduated she said she didn't want to be friends with me or my best friend because we made her feel "intellectually inferior" but wanted to remain friends with two of our other friends because they made her feel "intellectually superior". Suffice to say she now has no close friends. She also considered herself to have high EQ lmao. I know she watches Cody Ko so if you see this,🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍

That's not hypocritical, he wasn't implying that doing bad at school means you are dumb at everything, the mention of school wasn't in an "educational" context, it was a physical location he was at in the past. He went to school, then joined the military. That's it, so any stories from before the military would begin "when I was at school" because he doesn't have any other place where he would have met people, besides maybe a sports club or such but that wouldn't really have been relevant to the question. It's effectively just a saying, a time period, "when I was at school (when I was between 4 and 18)" rather than "if you failed inside the main educational establishment you will fail outside it" which is obviously not what he believes. What is ACTUALLY interesting was that it upset you enough to write this comment complaining but missed the fact he followed it up by saying that that would make that person probably the most confident person there.

Also the ASVAB is (like most tests) extremely flawed and doesn't really measure intelligence. Like all tests, it measures how well you take tests - not intelligence.

Yes, you will find terrible people and people lacking common sense in all fields, but that has nothing to do with IQ or the “last in the class” medical grad. The “last in the class” student is highly qualified and could very well be a great doctor/person.

Oh no i was ugly and became pretty, pretty privilege is a thing defenetly but that just sucks so much

I think it's in part because she's blonde. I dyed my hair dark for a long time. People were generally less nice to me but thought I was smarter with dark hair than when I'm my natural blonde or lighter

i feel like it makes the most sense to just be very humble, rank yourself lower whether you believe it or not because it’s a lot less embarrassing to score low when you didn’t rate yourself among the best😂 and it’s win win if you rank higher

[@diana5281]

At least he said it in the private interview portion instead of in front of everybody like Maria, that was so uncomfortable

[@_jhynh]

No one's noticed how much lower than everyone else's Maria's score was too. Everyone else scored at least within a few numbers of each other, and then a huge gap between her and #5. 😂 I took a professional IQ test last year and scored a 128 and im a recovering addict who is only now graduating with my bachelor's this year at 29. Maria and I completely different lives with a higher score than hers so idk what that tells you about these tests.

[@Random-sk6hm]

They all scored above average except her which is hilarious

[@rebeccaholloway3066]

My older brother went into the Navy. I would say he’s a fairly intelligent person and that he had a very good score for the asvab. We were very proud of him and when I’ve met other people who’ve went into the military they have mostly given me the impression that they are intelligent people

[@megancurtis9502]

@@jl4260 It's possible, but I don't think so. People who have really high IQs talk like that because they find it hard to dumb themselves down and talk like the average person. Ask anyone in MENSA and they'll tell you they find it hard to communicate with people who aren't as intelligent as them. And it's not meant in a mean way, I can understand that it would be hard to be around people who can't problem solve as well and whose brains work much slower. But yes, I agree with you (I think) that he probably doesn't have the highest EQ either way because people on the spectrum and people with high IQs generally don't have high EQs.

[@oliviapasquarelli99]

The villain was the PhD lady. She was humbled and I relished in the karmic retribution. Yale ranking the marine last because he’s affiliated with the military, then bringing up prejudice and bias two minutes later gave me the ick. I was thrilled when the software engineer was second. Everyone doubted her IQ because she’s pretty and less outspoken than some of the others. They judged her similarly to the spring break guy at the law firm she worked at 🥴

[@Random-sk6hm]

Btw Sade did a reaction video and mentioned that Tyler said a lot of very questionable/incorrect things that were edited out of the final video. The final cut doesn't really show why they said/voted in a certain way. They didn't vote him low cos of the military (a lot of people in the military are obviously very smart). Also the ASVAB is (like most tests) extremely flawed and doesn't really measure intelligence. Like all tests, it measures how well you take tests - not intelligence. Certain people are automatically blacklisted from most tests (if they have a learning difficulty for example) despite being very intelligent. I scored 95 and my friends also took it as a joke and all ranked above 90. Lots of people I've spoken to have said that it's not as difficult as people give it credit for. I was also really glad the software engineer ranked second aswell.

I know a few phd grads and I will say I was struck by what an average intelligence they have. I think having a phd shows your work ethic more than anything

[@psd103]

Some people don’t seem to realize that knowledge is not the same as intelligence. I think that’s what military guy was trying to get at with his definition, but they were so hung up on education (which mostly increases your knowledge) being a determining factor that they misjudged him and the blonde girl. Also, while other metrics of intelligence exist (EQ, etc.) it’s kind of irrelevant to argue those in a video focused on IQ since there is no way to factor those into the final ranking.

[@bleedingcowboys7147]

yeah they all tried to be "inclusive" with their definitions of intelligence, but then threw that out the window when it came to rankings, without acknowledging that education was all they knew about each other. they couldve maybe asked each other questions related to other types of intelligence, or at least played a game of rock paper scissors 😭 like since you know the rankings going to be biased, might as well throw other biases in there to even it out 💀

[@Haldered]

tbf, Maria would also come last in an EQ test (or by looking at social media, surely she didn't think she would look better than the social media guy?!)

[@himynameisguy4563]

I like how as soon as they got the results back and were wrong, they started instantly questioning the test 😂

[@MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesis]

Sada and Maria were super quick to throw that test under the bus when they both got ranked 3-6. Both were pretty arrogant and truthfully, it felt good to see them taken down a notch.

[@ZenzoSezSo]

They were all into metrics as a measure of intelligence and all of a sudden when the channel sets a particular one, the IQ test in this case, and it gives unexpected results against their biases, it's all "intelligence can't be measured". One of the best outcomes of a video.
