Lol fantastic shitpost
Even better if it’s genuine
I’m sorry to report that in order to see the results, you basically fail the IQ test:
It’s a very dark pattern, they ask the $2 only after 40 minutes of questions and after getting your email for spam. Then they show that classic fake loading and fake elaborating screens. At that point you’re exhausted and just pay
Aha, the Intuit trick of making you fill out your “free” tax return for 3 hours before demanding $300
Shouldn’t this be on the shitpost community??
The site didn’t make clear that’s not a good thing
Hahahahahaha ha, omg, the irony
That’s comedic brilliance right there.
How could It be more clear? It literally says in a room of 1000 you’re smarter than 345.
The irony of the whole thing is actually pretty funny
IQ is just one factor of intelligence, and not even the most important one. And even so, 94 is only just below average, it’s not so bad.
it’s neither bad nor good, it’s just a relative score. If everyone except you was einstein then your IQ would be 1, but that doesn’t magically make you dumber than you are now.
Basically everyone is constantly getting smarter (due to stuff like education and better access to food), so you can’t even compare IQ scores over time

Technically not even below! The average is 85-115 IQ.
Isn’t the average 100 by design?
And also by definition of what an average is?
It’s not an exact science for starters so a +/- 5 points seems a likely margin, but I guess its just inside one “deviation”. 125 would be at +1 and so on (just making example numbers here).
Which is fucking pointless to point out because 80% falls into that 15 point deviation.
If you want true average, a 5-6 point deviation is more useful. Especially given the vast difference between someone with an IQ of 86 and the IQ of 114 - former will be failing most of their classes whereas latter will be excelling in most (not accounting for other personality traits that affect scholarly results, of course).
No, ~68,3% fall into that deviation.
Given that tests only approximate the real value and that there are errors and biases, being too exact wouldn’t serve you any function.
But I think you are right that a deviation of 30 from under to upper limit of average IQ is pretty big.
A range can’t be an average
IQ is, for the most part, a stupid measure. Or at least, it measures one specific thing, which is basically how quickly you can learn. That is to say, in theory, if you put someone with a 120 IQ and someone with an 80 IQ into a class, the first one should theoretically outperform the second if they put equal effort in.
I will say this frankly: I have a very high IQ - I was tested first when I was 6 and have been tested a couple of times since. I do have a learning disability - ADHD - and mine is severe, at that. So while I do generally pick up on things faster than some others on average, I certainly don’t pick up on everything quickly. There are subjects I absolutely do not get. And furthermore, thanks to circumstances and the stupid ADHD, here I am at 50, neve having had steady jobs (I did work 5 years one place), in shitty health (six heart attacks, below-knee amputation, congestive heart failure, on dialysis because my kidneys failed), with my wife and I surviving because while we both had ADHD and struggled, she’s been more consistent about keeping work, and definitely contributes more to the household budget.
So a high IQ basically means extremely little. You don’t have to have IQ to find success in life, or even to be highly degreed and an intellectual. It just means that you probably have to work a bit more at it. That one specific aspect of life. And there are many many aspects of life.
High IQ scores mean you’re good at IQ tests, and that’s it.
Eons ago, when I joined the army as a conscript, the officer said I scored higher than 90% of anyone taking the test.
The test results implied that I’m smart. My life experiences prove otherwise.
I always liked putting it in D&D terms: I’m not sure if I have high INT and low WIS, or if it’s the other way around.
which is basically how quickly you can learn
Not even that! IQ measures how well one performs in a barrage of simple abstract tasks. That alone can never be the stuff of intelligence, let alone learning speed. It doesn’t hold a candle past grade four and outside of diagnosing certain cognitive issues.
I generally agree with your sentiments, I have met people whose IQs I don’t know but would be considered conventionally highly intelligent just from the level of knowledge they broadcast and their quick wit. Many of them self-ascribed “failures”. Suffice it to say, it’s been a mission of mine to deconstruct what intelligence is. Collective smarts seem to matter much more than those of any individual.
Besides all the health issues you’re me. High IQ but the ADHD fucks it all up. I too kept one job 6 years. But that was mostly because it was easy and long as I got my work done my boss let sit and read books. If it hadn’t been for my relaxed boss I would have not stay so long. Hell probably still be there if it hadn’t gone out of business.
But goddamn I can pick up and learn quickly, but not able to stick to anything and can’t focus to accomplish the things I know I could or want to do.
Executive function is the bane of my existence. I’m doing the worst possible work right now - contract work that exists at any time I want to work on it. There’s no deadline, I just pick up a piece of the work and do it. Should take 30-60 minutes per piece. And the pay is decent.
But getting myself to log in and sit down and work on that is absolute torture.
But with my health and circumstances, it’s not a bad opportunity. heh.
I feel ya completely.
I can’t tell if this is real or not, fantastic!
My IQ is so high, I don’t need to brag about it.
My iq is even much higher than yours and I also don’t need to brag about it.
My IQ is so much higher than yours that I can’t even count it, and I also don’t need to brag about it.
Mine is higher than you can count, so just forget about it. And I also don’t need to brag about it btw.
Yeah, but I brag so much about my high that I don’t even need to count about it!
I count so much brag that I don’t believe you anymore.
People say I’m so unpretentious (for a genius)
IQ is dumb.
But QI, that’s the good stuff. I’d walk over mountains and rivers for more QI.
I’m glad they gave it to Sandi to keep it going. She was the perfect person to take over.
We had an IQ test as part of the performance review process in a company I worked in. It did not have any effect on the review, it was just there. The dudes with IQ above 120 were insufferable to work with. The dudes with IQ below 85 were insufferable to work with. Both managed to do about the same amount of work. The dudes who scored between 100-110 were a pleasure to work with, and practically carried the other two groups.
Like an actual general intelligence test or a cognitive ability test? Neither should be used in a performance context though so that’s wild. Cognitive ability testing should only be used for selection not for performance the fuck.
Here I just assumed all online IQ tests always vastly inflated the results to make their idiot users feel smart and hand over money for the certificate or whatever.
If you don’t pay, you don’t see the results.
The test is free, but not seeing the results.
It’s very infuriating, especially from this website, because it’s a 40 questions test which require some thought. You can easily waste 30-40 minutes before getting asked your email for getting the result “on a safe link”, for additional verification. Then you click the link via email (confirming that your email is valid and you can receive spam) and you get those fake loading bars that take like 2 minutes
✔️ Loading results
✔️ Reading all your responses
✔️ Elaborating your score
✔️ Comparing your score with other people
✔️ Generating your certificate
✔️ Fetching your certificateAnd only then, when your patience is almost gone, and your expectations are at the top, they ask for a symbolic payment to “maintain their service”. What to do? Rage quit after having wasted one hour on this scam or pay the $2?
People with actual higher scores don’t need it to be explained, and people with lower scores don’t want it to be explained.
Ignoring that IQ is a grift and a lie: Sitting within a standard deviation of average intelligence is NOT a bad thing. If intelligence really could be measured it would mean you’re capable of doing anything about as well as anyone else.
“People who boast about their IQ are losers” Stephen Hawking
I remember doing the Mensa free test for shits and giggles in high school. Basically just gave you a “129+” estimated score and told you they couldnt “estimate higher” due to it not being a “complete test” and then wanted your to book an in-person IQ test for +100€. I just found it so funny how much snob copium Mensa is, like theres no way I have 129+ IQ. If I would care enough to find out i wouldnt pay 100€ either. At best IQ is an irrelevant metric at worst its used by terrible people who think IQ is an all-encompassing intelligence metric to boast about how allegedly smart they are.
