Everyone on my inmediate family has roughly the same IQ, my physicist dad married my mathematician mom and had me and my siblings
We brutally mog our extended family though

oops meant to say /IQ general/ or just /sci/ I guess. iq is discussed here all the time.

oh. i imagine you are not exactly an extravert either? but at least they found each other. i am curious how introverts even mate. maybe it was easier back then.

At least they had kids, and kids with someone roughly equally smart. One of my grandfathers got into MIT, the other, never went to uni, but came from a long line of pharmacists and smartest-guy-in-towns. Both of them chose do-nothing, stupid women. Then my dad picked my mom, whom could barely finish a biochem degree without assistance. I'm at best 125, severely psychiatrically afflicted (OCD/schizotypal, borderline or autistic mystery mix the docs can't figure out). My mom's brother is fluent in Chinese, Spanish, French and English. Travelled the world, encyclopedic knowledge of literature and theatre, absolute chad, although unfortunately, total fuck up relationship- and career-wise. The other siblings on both sides were unremarkable and did not reproduce. Point is, you can really fuck it up. Smart people don't have enough kids, including the faggot who wrote the screencapped post in OP and his cunt sister. Then you've got the secondary mistake of that sister, shaving points off her offspring's potential ability for nothing. There's no shortage of intelligent men, as a ratio to intelligent women.

First, IQ can only be compared between people who took the same test(s). Some IQ tests top-out at 130. And some prioritize different skills.
>Are IQ points important in real life?
No. I've maxed-out proctored IQ tests (generally 140), have 2 engineering degrees, but at age 35 have never had $2k at a time in my life. It measures something, but whether that equates to success in life... no, it doesn't.

By which I mean that there's no excuse for an intelligent woman to pick a stupid (<135) male. The gap in standard deviations of IQ by sex would have left her with a pool of men more than twice the size of that for women. That's assuming she herself was over 135. I've dated girls in the 135-145 range a few times. They are self-limiting as a phenomenon in the way that they forsake reproduction.

It does measure some sense of capacity for productivity, which is important for the advancement of the collective human organism. We'd stall without people that are innately drawn to problem-solving and analysis.

That's great, but if no one hires you because you're an autist who looks and acts half his age and you have no money it kinda doesn't matter.

all due respect, before like y2k, MIT had like a 17%+ acceptance rate

Is that the average across all programs? I think it was for engineering, and he was awarded a scholarship. He was never tested as I'm aware of, but having spent time around a lot of 140's, I'd guess he was somewhere between 135 and 140. Of course, I only ever knew him as his sun was setting.

There's other stuff going on there too. The guy came from a very impoverished family and community. Lightning won't strike twice. There may have been the perfect storm in genotype that made him what he was. His brother was only a modestly successful programmer in Europe, every sister void and worthless. Regression to the ancestral pop's mean. I have a close friend like that, probably somewhere between me and 135 maximum. Parents? Both easily over 145. Two talented programmers with storied careers of meteoric rise, deeply impressive, perfect memory on all fronts (episodic, working, etc.) in both.

acceptance rate is also a factor of the amount of applications they get and the quality of the applications. if a greater number of dumber people apply despite not being qualified, it tanks the acceptance number despite the possibility that the chance of getting in as a remotely intelligent person is roughly the same.

Interesting, only 3 males of my family generation are highly intelligent (130+), another is a homo and the women are average but introvertedly autistic.
We have no history of education or STEM exposure, yet the 3 of us are in engineering/CS, quite a way to go from coal miners in the previous generations.
