Okay it is not over for you at all
You need to immediately start going through a rigorous IQ raising regimen.
-20 Dual N-Back sessions M-F (Dual N-Back increases working memory)
-25 minutes of mind palace training every day (memoryleague.com take breaks when your scores begin to collapse from average)
-1 hour of mindfulness meditation a day (increases the size of the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex)
-strenuous reading. Read real English literature for at least 25-30 min a day. Put words that you don't know into an Anki deck (Google Ankiweb it's a FOSS app that uses spaced repetition)
-Regular strenuous exercise, healthy eating, running + lifting, intermittent fasting, Yoga (increases BDNF and alters the structure of the brain for better spatial and fluid reasoning)
-Second language acquisition. 25-30 min a day of learning a second target language. This will increase your general fluid reasoning working memory and verbal reasoning.
All of these together will synergize and create a positive feedback loop to increase your IQ. By how much, idk, but your IQ will increase. To test yourself for changes you'll need to take a completely different IQ test than the Mensa Norway test you just took so retesting effects aren't in play.

You should stress over it. Your life is going to be handicapped by being at purely average intelligence. IQ is a predictor of how quickly you can learn things and what your life outcome will be. There's a common meme in culture that "IQ doesn't matter" which is just cope because most people believe that IQ is purely genetic and can't be raised, but that's not true. IQ is critical to problem solving, learning, and adaptability. You should do everything you can to try and raise your intelligence while you're young and your brain still possesses a high degree of neuroplasticity. It will change your life for the better.

You're not going to age into being a normalfag. Unless you ascended to the top of the social hierarchy in your high school, and you're just a bored and funemployed normie who slipped into an anime phase somehow, your life is going to continue to deteriorate unless you intervene.

Varies wildly depending on the subfield you go into. Secure coding, IT auditing, penetration testing, network security, soc analyst, blue teaming, red teaming, malware reverse engineering... I could go on and on. The upside to cyber is that having a degree is almost looked down upon, at least a cyber degree anyways. Being an autodidact who has projects, good certs, and interviews well is highly prized over a degree. I coincidentally met a woman at an airport recently who had a masters degree in Cyber and she was telling me that she couldn't get anyone to respond to her resume.

I'll make a note of this. Do you have any recommendations for where to start learning in-depth security analysis and penetration testing? I'm used to keeping my shit in order and secure as it is, but I can't guarantee that I'm knowledgeable enough for an employer. I was offered a job while checking out a customer at my current job, and when I followed up, she told me she'd hire me if I had some certifications.

To learn pentesting, use a platform like HackTheBox, TryHackMe, or Proving Grounds. Preferably all three. Create detailed markdown notes in a tool like Obsidian.
First thing's first though, you're not getting a pentesting job without experience in cyber already and you're not getting a cyber job without more basic certs. Get your Sec+ and CySA+ at a minimum. Maybe also get your CCNA. You'll also need to learn the fundamentals of programming if you want to actually be a good cybersecurity professional. Learn python first IMO and then move on from there, with powershell and bash as your next languages. You can probably teach yourself python then get your sec+ at the same time. Then, get your first cyber job and then build a good resume and linkedin profile. Build out from there.

Here in America their IQ test is a real one which is used by psychologists so you know the people who are getting in are actually above the 98th percentile. I remember seeing a video from a mathematician about Mensa Australia's test and she showed that they basically pulled the questions straight out of their ass.

Is it actually possible to genuinely score below 120 on these? The patterns typically aren't hard to note and they don't ask for anything crazy as far as mental manipulation goes. Every time I've tried I've always gotten around 130, granted that was back when I was younger and dumber. When you're older you realise that the real IQ test is to not waste your time on this shit at all. Only retards care, although I'm loth to admit I found some of the more challenging tasks fun.

It probably doesn't help that I'm doing this straight after 2 hours of cycling on an empty stomach & dinner, but it still hurts to have yet another confirmation of just how much of a thousand-yard staring potato I've become. The inability to consistently do/deliver art/3d/design projects anymore was already sufficient.
Could massively improve these results even faster on subsequent attempts (especially when better rested) but I never really cared much for things like IQ tests as anything other than a mental exercise no different from the puzzles & arithmetic I used to do, not when you should be focusing on the things that matter in real life instead. Don't need any extra time sinks (even if they might pale in comparison to the time wasted locking up, freezing, hesitating, and generally procrastinating over the years).

Sub-midwits tend to be less annoying the midwits themselves.

If you really want to know, you should take a valid test instead of some junk found online.

I don't know if it's just a lack of practice, cognitive state, or the way the exercises are arranged and designed themselves, but for me sometimes the patterns felt extremely easy and obvious to spot, whilst others seemed incredulous and ambiguous as to what they were asking for, seemingly inviting you to go crazy with said mental manipulation and gymnastics. And then half the time when you take it again and refresh yourself you realize the solution was staring you in the face all along.
I still can't un-shake the idea that foreknowledge of mathematics and geometry (whatever form that experience may take) does indeed help with these tests (both real world and digital) just as much if not more so than if your mind is just geared towards thinking in a particular way suited towards the test. Though for all I know it might also backfire if you try to tackle some of the more abstract patterns in overly analytical fashions (focusing on cause and effect, movement, textures).
The best thing would still be to either dig up your old real world tests, or sign up for real world tests. Especially if you're that kind of mind which no matter what can always eventually solve any logic puzzle or problem that is thrown at it (asterisk regarding tiredness and age may still apply).

>verbal score suffers as usual due to cracking under time constraints and forgetting not to select more than 9 answers despite being a word salad carrier
>initially get most of the spatial results correct but then backtrack on the answer only to find out it was actually correct
>memtest suffers in the last stint due to the speed involved and additional selections being made
>somewhat higher fsiq by around 5 points, 10-20ish points higher on mem/spatial
Could be worse for my condition right now I guess. Those panels involving different shapes were probably the easiest after the spatial tests, basically no different from having to picture rotating a model in 3d.

are there supposed to be any rules as to how I can fold this
picturing the process of manipulating each component can sometimes result in strange things

Daily reminder that you can severely retard you and your intelligence scores if you're spending too much time masturbating, having sex, watching porn, and so on as these acts completely fuck up your dopamine receptors, generate prolactin, inhibit testosterone, and most crucially divert blood flow away from your prefrontal cortex. The effect is more damaging if you have POIS or autoimmune responses to these acts, as you'll effectively be stuck in a perpetual flu-like state. This becomes even more damaging if you do these things in your formative/adolescent years on a regular basis.
Obviously if you're malnourished and starving, a couch potato, suffer from low oxygen or sleep apnea, are otherwise overworked and have sleep debt, this will all contribute to you not being able to hit your peak brain power.
Do not handicap yourselves, brothers. Do not be discouraged if you score even 20-30 points outside of your expected range. Practice and train to perfection whilst you still have the chance, especially if all seems to indicate you stand out.

>he thinks online tests accurately measure IQ
I'm not asking whether it's possible to have an IQ below 120, but whether it's possible for a normal person to get below 120 on *these* tests. If so, the bar is extremely low and I am even more resolute in my stance that driver's licenses should be revoked from 70% of people.

Driver's licenses of all things are among the sillier things to yoke to intelligence testing. Conscientous dunces who don't look at their phones while driving (truck drivers) can drive safely and adequetely and participate in the economy in a meaningful way. You should focus instead on activities which more directly affect society, such as having babies at all and, to the effect that plebiscites matter (they have some significance to how policy is set, the reply that they don't is both lazy and false), the political voting franchise itself.

I will posit that IQ is only a fraction of the equation as many intelligent people are poor and many smart people mad bad decisions. I am not certain putting such emphasis on an IQ score or test beyond an ego boost is beneficial to real world success.

I'm fairly sure that online mensa test is just an actual raven's test with the same norms. Same pictures and same answers that give the same scores.

Yes, every other underlying functional connectivity network in the brain is highly malleable and plastic, but for some reason the functional connectivity networks underlying fluid and crystallized intelligence are rock solid, 100% genetic, and can't be altered. They're the exception. Makes perfect sense.

Personality is a huge factor in success, yes. IQ > 95th percentile + high conscientiousness is the real golden ticket to a positive life outcome
