I can calculate about 8moves ahead, but not uncontested, it all depends what the opponent does, normally I have to change the plan up after 2-3 moves played, so him saying he can calculate 21moves uncontested is BS, all a player has to do is move a piece that he hadn't calculated being moved and it fucks the entire plan up 🤷

I think it's always so funny how these intellectuals almost always bring up IQ, even though it's an invalid determination of intelligence

[@kiiturii]

and they'd be the first ones to tell you that if you happened to score higher than them too lol

[@Wolfie54545]

IQ is not completely invalid, it doesn’t mean what these folks think it means. IQ is more of a measure of potential in certain subjects. You have multiple IQ values: one for each subject, these are then averaged so claiming your IQ is 130 or something does not tell us much. What individual IQ stat is your highest? You CAN have an individual IQ higher or lower than your average. IQ is a measure of what comes easy to you. You don’t even need an IQ test to know which subject your IQ will be higher in. Does math come easily to you? Your math IQ is high. Are you able to easily visualize how things would fit, such as visual puzzles? Your Visual-Spatial IQ is high. NOTE: Just because you have a high IQ DOES NOT mean you are automatically smart in that area. You still have to LEARN. Edit: think of it kind of like Pokémon stats. Two Pokémon can have the same stat total, but one could have high attack while the other high defense. The Pokémon are not going to be good at the same things. OR. Two Pokémon can have different stat totals, but the lower total one can still have a higher attack than the higher total one. Guess who is going to be dealing more damage? Or levels. A lower level Pokémon will not do as much damage as the same species at a higher level. Why? EXPERIENCE. The lower level Pokémon has the POTENTIAL to be as good, but needs to reach that. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE POTENTIAL, DOES NOT MEAN YOU KNOW EVERYTHING.

[@eleruces7722]

​@@Wolfie54545also it's not an effective way to measure intelligence as a personal feat as it's something you can study for and learn. It's why people who take IQ tests all day score highly, because they've learned what to look for rather than problem solving in an entirely removed situation. It's a bit weird personally and tends to follow the lines of eugenics more than any form of humanitarian betterment.

[@thecrispymaster]

@Wolfie54545 To be honest, its more useful real world applications are ironically in looking at the lower ends of the spectrum. These (amoung other) tests can be very useful in determining whether someone struggles in certain areas and is commonly used as a jumping off point when people are looking to classify someone with intellectual impairments or neurological disorders. For example, some people with conditions like dyspraxia can have strong comprehension and reasoning abilities, but struggle with processing speed or working memory.

[@junrobin9335]

@@Wolfie54545 Think they mean to say that IQ is invalid cause the stats you get, as you put it, are gonna change with time regardless. IQ only measures how fast you pick up on things and where your average is at. My IQ score from the hospital when I got tested for autism is entirely invalid by now since that was ten years ago. Not just that but the willingness of the person being tested also influences those numbers. For example I got tested in a hospital while I was there for treatment and felt relieved if I had anything else to do than sit around and wait for tests, I scored slightly higher than average while EQ was low. My sis got picked out of class, scored below average, mostly because she got taken out of an interesting class, was upset and answered all questions with I don't know before going back to class. She just didn't want to do the test. So just saying the numbers aren't entirely valid because the numbers varry even from just how motivated you are to do the test itself. There's a lot of variables that influence what outcome you get. And while the numbers themselves aren't accurate, it's still a useful tool to get to know where your strengths and weaknesses lie. So you can find ways to strengthen your weaknesses and learn how to best use your strengths.

There was a really interesting study (yeah this sounds like one of those posts already) called "consequences of erudite vernacular utilized irrespective of necessity - problems with using big words needlessly". Basically said if you stuff loads of big words in things people think you're covering for something, and after seeing loads if these posts it's absolutely true.

[@TheSuperappelflap]

The best part about that type of people is that dont even know what half the words they use actually mean and they immediately fold when they have to discuss a topic with someone who has a normal amount of information on that field. I mean I like having a large vocabulary, and language is something you can use to not just communicate more clearly, but also make it interesting for people to actually listen to whats coming out of your mouth, but fuck those pretentious people annoy me. When I come across a situation like that I like to respond in Latin just to fuck with em. It really confuses them. Get out-pretentioused. Is that a word? I dont care, I made it a word.

[@Lewtable]

@@TheSuperappelflap Personally I think a lot of people subconsciously follow the idea of that a smart person should be able to explain something to someone in a way that is easy to understand for as many as possible as well. When your method of conversing with other people is to stuff it full with big words that you know are contrived or difficult to understand it just makes you look even dumber in the eyes of most people with social common sense. The only reason you'd have to talk like that in regular conversation is because you don't know how to handle a casual conversation like an average person, the most observable standard of communication in any social setting. But I think we all know that these are average people that wish they were more special and unique than they actually are and get stuck in playing out some role play make-believe about themselves where they are the main character and everyone else is NPCs. Adopting speech mannerisms that are pointlessly complex is just part of the role play.

[@fearfully3496]

My IQ was tested when I was going through the process of being diagnosed with autism. So mine was at least done by a clinical psychologist with the aid of other professionals. I also did two different ones. I haven't found an online IQ test close to the real thing. So yeah I won't believe a self evaluated IQ score. And IQ tests aren't just written things, loads of things go into the assessment. For example we had to "play" with shapes and die. Matching shapes, building up complex shapes, a lot like those puzzles you get where it looks impossible to fit all the pieces, but there's like an odd trick. Anyway I'm rambling 😅 they look at your body language, they listen to your voice and time you. I don't know how that would translate to a plain online test, unless it's like an online class with someone idk. We also had a long discussion on what IQ really means. It basically means nothing, it doesn't necessarily prove anything. The IQ test is more to find a thinking pattern. People on the spectrum like myself tend to score higher because we have very little or no emotional intelligence to rely on. Not that we don't feel emotions, it's more like you don't have any built in system to sort out those emotions. That's why they usually say we're very smart but our hearts are those of a 12 year old. IQ means nothing, please don't base yourself worth on that man made number. Be yourself and bloom the way you're meant to.

[@_XRMissie]

Going through the process myself for various personal reasons, and I agree. IQ isn't just "intelligence" or w/e, it's just a general marker of problem solving adaptability imho. Besides, like you said, how tf you gonna put all the physical/spatial tests online without using a game engine to simulate 3D space? You can't boil that down to 1-5 scale questions. Also not to get into it since I've not actually done mine yet, but I got a small glimpse of one of the tests from my psychologist and istg it was just a page of alien looking symbols lmao.

Playing chess in your mind is equivalent to writing algebraic notation. It's not hard, it's as simple as 1.d4 d5 2.Bf4 Nf6 3.e3 e6 4.Nf3 Be7 5.Bd3 0-0 6.c3 Nc6 - Mainline London System to move 6. So he's bragging about something that any player fide1800+ can do

[@garou9914]

"it's honestly not hard to become a lawyer" the person who said that clearly never studied law lmao. I'm studying basic things (mainly relating to marriage/divorce and contracts) for my translation degree and i wanna kill myself already. I truly feel for law students who have to study everything in detail.

To answer why people get IQ tests done: I'm someone who had to get one done. Unfortunately it was because I have a disability and my school (at the time) was wanting to put me in the special ed class, which requires students have an IQ of 70 or lower. Safe to say I was definitely NOT 70 or lower. I always hate saying I got an official test done though, since people always assume it's because I'm an insufferable prick.

[@Fantastic_Mr_Fox]

So what did you get though? Dw I know IQ is a bit of a misleading measurment, I just want to know how low their jaw dropped 🤣 Also isn't 70 IQ is very very low? Idk how they could mistake someone for being 70 IQ.

Also agnostic-atheist is a thing, agnostic/gnostic is about knowledge(I believe vs I know), atheist/theist is about the position(there is no god/gods vs there is a god/gods). An agnostic atheist is someone who believes there isn't a god but doesn't know for sure.

[@twrampage]

That omg post feels like a great bit of trolling, tbh.

[@rinnniiiii]

Fun fact: People who actually have a high IQ don't tend to feel the need to brag about it on the Internet 👀

[@The31st]

14:10 is just something that could easily be worked through with decent social/ communication skills. If you think the work your boss is giving you is too easy and you complete it much quicker than the deadline. Tell them. Say that you what more challenging work. I'm sure they'll be fine with that.

[@mattd1380]

I have a BS in Molecular and cellular biology. And one time i was playing a college level game about molecular alosterics. And i cussed on the chat over something stupid because i couldnt connect 2 atoms because i was using a swipe pad and i had a dad tell me to watch my language because his 8 yr old played the game. And i responded by saying his son sould be playing outside and socializing so the 11 yr undergrad doesnt suprise me...

RE: free IQ tests I think the Mensa one is reasonably accurate for what it is, obviously it's not going to be great because it's nothing like a real administered test, but it's aim isn't to sell you anything, simply indicate if it's likely you could get into Mensa. The funniest part is if you get average or below it displays a message saying they can't calculate it, they deliberately added that to stop people being upset when it tells them they're below average(the real score is still sent to the page, it's just not displayed). Really though it's a bad measure, it is supposed to measure your general aptitude for learning and figuring things out, but it's fundamentally flawed as a concept and misses the three biggest features in success, motivation(no good learning quickly if you don't put in the work to learn), persistence(giving up the first time something is hard is a common issue for "gifted" kids), and luck(being born into a situation where the gift is recognised, having the resources to take advantage, etc).

[@Kyrelel]

Free IQ tests are a fraud. You can literally check random answers and plough through the test and be given an "IQ rating" of 130+ simply because it also takes into account the speed with which you complete the test.

[@redeye5440]

Somewhat ashamed to admit that I know what the “INTJ-A” guy was talking about. It’s their result from the MBTI personality test, which I know about because my school made us all take it. This guy is basically saying that he’s introverted, intuitive, a thinker (rather than a feeler), judging (rather than perceiving), and assertive. I got ISTJ personally, but I don’t see why this person thinks it’s a thing to be so proud of.

[@richardhockey8442]

I don't know about anywhere else but the Hull University Law students always had the most scandalous, raucous parties (succeeding in trashing an expensive countryside hotel on one occasion)

[@OssiEastborn]

To answer your question about a gain: When you take an IQ Test at Mensa, which is about 60 Euros, and score above 130, you are considered highly intelligent. You then will be accepted as member of Mensa with various benefits and are also enabled for financial benefits and stipendiums. And the Mensa-Test is NOT online, it is local and has to be, to provide the actual environment necessary, since answers are timed.

Helping George become more literate using Google. Perspicacity - having a clear vision. I don't think Principia Mathematica is even an Isaac Newton book? It's apparently an Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russel book which proved the fundamentals of mathematics, including that "1+1=2". The Isaac Newton book is apparently called "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica" which is more about the mathematics behind the fundamentals of physics. That book is usually just shortened to "The Principia". The full name in English is "The Mathematical Principals of Natural Physics" Superfluous = unnecessary Refulgent = radiant Scintillant = having flashes of light Paraselene = a bright spot in the sky Firmament = the sky Astrophile = stargazer Philomath = lover of learning Polymath = an intellectual Polyglot = multilingual Aberrant = atypical Licentious = promiscuous Dissolute = indulges in pleasantries too much All those people are theoretical physicists And apparently you can be both agnostic and atheist at the same time. Agnosticism is lack of knowledge, where atheism is lack of belief. You can be agnostic atheist. You can also be agnostic theist. All it's saying is "I don't believe in it and I don't claim to know this is truth". Someone who isn't interested in the conversation is apparently called an "apatheist" rather than an agnostic. (That comment was one of the worst things I've ever read regardless. I probably wrote something like that on persuasive language question in an English exam where instead of studying I just memorised a list of synonyms I got from the Microsoft Word tool).

12:42 “intellectual intelligent quotient” right mate i’m pretty sure you put a word that doesn’t need to be there 😭

[@aster7654]

TLDR: IQ tests are important to some people, but if you don't feel the need to have one then it's probably useless for you. To answer the question about IQ tests, sometimes it helps with psychological/psychiatric diagnosis. On a personal experience, I always felt inadequate, I struggle to adapt to work environment for example, and it's thanks to an IQ test (done by a professional psychiatrist, not a free online test) that I was properly diagnosed with autism and dyspraxia. Now, this was in France, I don't know how it works in the UK or the USA, but here it gave me access to a lot of resources to actually improve my life.

IQ is such a useless way to measure intelligence anyway

[@Kyrelel]

An intelligent person would disagree with you.

[@Fantastic_Mr_Fox]

Yeah it's really useful for many things, however it is not absolute and especially not *reliable* if taken online. IQ isn't a measurement of intelligence, it is a _tool_ for the measurement of intelligence

Using the wrong spelling of too in “I’m to smart” is perfect

[@JoyOfCreativeService]

The only reason I even ended up getting an IQ test was because I was getting re-diagnosed with autism (since they renamed Asperger's), so I got one at the same time. I ended up getting a 118 I think? which is high average, so that's pretty good, but nothing to brag about. (Although you shouldn't be bragging about your IQ in the first place, in my opinion.)

[@JoyOfCreativeService]

Also, George I will call you a bit stupid for not realizing that the energy/matter equivalency proof is the explanation of why E=mc² is true. I don't know what the explanation is, but

I hate everything about myself but at least I am not one of these people

[@leanykakicsi6152]

I believe IQ tests (not the Mensa) are useful when you are examining a child who might have intellectual disability so the parents and special needs teachers get a clue and start working with the child accordingly (in my country teaching people with learning disabilities, intellectual disability or other types of disabilities are different specialties that special needs educators specialize in)

The smarter you think you are, the dumber you actually are. I've worked in industries from oil & gas designing control systems for oil rigs and refineries, robotics designing control systems for subsea ROVs, and now I work for the MoD/DoD as a weapon systems engineer. Am I smart? Not even close. I've worked with people over the last 3 decades who leave me feeling like an absolute dunce. Only once you've gotten to know truly intelligent people will you realise just how painfully average we all are. But don't despair. Being average isn't all that bad. After all, if you're of average intelligence that means you're smarter than 4 billion people on the planet! Not bad, mate, not bad at all. Average is a-okay.
