Have you ever noticed how high IQ individuals almost spend zero time listening to music every day, whilst midwits and low IQs tend to always put something on? Now peer-reviewed science has proven that there's a heavy link between listening to music for "sensation seeking" and being retarded.

interesting, it could be that reinforcing the neural networks for strong emotions uses energy and resources from the limited pool available to the brain, which could otherwise be dedicated to reinforcing analytic/reasoning networks.

There are studies saying intelligent people listen to music, there are studies saying that intelligent people don't listen to music. If you had real intelligence you would know that u can't trust the replication crisis science article industry. The intelligent people listen to music when they want to and it depends on which genre. People who listen to classical like Bach are usually more intelligent. people who listen to pop are usually more dumb. It's just obvious from observing reality.

As someone who got into Mensa I used to listen to challenging music until I realised how pointless it is to challenge myself with a passive activity, and now I listen to kpop and video game music while playing challenging video games instead, because with them, you have to physically participate to overcome the challenge, and there's a clear finish line to it, whilst for a Bach fugue, you just sit there and try to focus until you get it, but you can't prove that you get it so there's not even a difference between posers and people who actually overcame the challenge of understanding the fugue, and all you get for learning to appreciate the fugue is the same as from a pop song, you listen to it a few times before it gets old and your mind needs a new song. Does this sound retarded?

I’m a genius and I rarely listen to music. I only listen to it in the car, but half of the time I’m usually driving in silence. I never listen to music while I study or shower or work out etc. and I’ve always never really understood it. However there was one time in college when I was depressed because I hated my courses and I would take long showers in the dark sitting in the tub listening to grunge and sad rap and shit. That was obviously to drown out my negative emotions. And I think that’s how I perceive others when they listen to music: they are drowning out their emotions/thoughts. Maybe because they have no thoughts to begin with. This could all be related to introversion and extroversion: the introverts have a richer “inner world” so they avoid things that will overstimulate them.

what the fuck is going on with the x-axis? why are all the MMRSS score values allergic to 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, etc.? it's clearly not divided into thirds, as it should ostensibly be, or quarters (and just avoiding midpoints between integer values for some reason).

the questionnaire they used only has a 5-point Likert scale, why are they extending the x-axis to 6 (which visually displays a greater slope than the data actually contains)? ...where are they getting the non-integer values from, and if they're an average across multiple questions, why aren't they evenly spaced?

I'd call myself an intellectual and I'm moderately smart, though not a genius (IQ somewhere around 150), and I fully agree with the study. I never enjoyed music. It's just annoying noise to me.

I mean... there is great value in multidisciplinarity. Room for a great composer to have a narrow mastery of music composition while grasping the big useful ideas of other disciplines.( or the inverse of something like a physicist or lawyer who understands the big ideas of music).

There are some definitive rebukes to sample size argument depending on the nature of the study. At the same time, large sample sizes may be insufficient for some cases depending on study purpose and intent. For example, mRNA studies were underpowered for at-risk demographics.

Faggot, what would be an acceptably high sample size according to you? Please post a peer-reviewed study supporting your personal views that has such a sample size.
Until then (and this is important):
SHUT THE FUCK UP.

No, I'm intelligent, which is why I know that people who respond to an advertisement asking for participants in a study isn't a random sample of the population, and that there is no reason to expect them to be of average IQ.

I used to love music, and even got to Grade 8 in the piano. Now I usually only listen to it when I'm jogging. Almost all intelligent people I have met also enjoy it.

Is this thread a circle jerk of self proclaimed high IQ people?

>Have you ever noticed how high IQ individuals
Just the way this question is asked is so pathetic. Implying you are OBSERVING high IQ individuals on a regular basis? In the mirror apparently.

I think this was pretty obvious but it's nice to see my assumptions validated. Basically high intelligence values self-direction and mediation, which passive entertainment is completely void of when not critically analyzed.

the membership fee isn't costly. most mensa people probably do realize it's just an interest group that filters midwits and they can always quit if it's unsatisfying or annoying.

You mean you haven't had your IQ actually tested? No wonder you believe yourself to be in the 150 and still feel only moderately smart. At 150 IQ there is like no room on the planet in which you aren't at least solidly above average. There are just too few 150 IQ fuckers around for that to be different.

You are probably in the 120s. Or an autist and have grinded IQ tests.

Shit, I scored 150 ish on Ravens too and my professionally administered IQ test came out 20 IQ lower.

Midwits thinking they're geniuses for not listening to music, also definitley not revealing themselves in lacking in creativity and artistic taste, you're not a genius if you don't listen to albums like my beautiful dark twisted fantasy, and also not clearly recognize the complete genius of the album

This is why I have a hard time trusting studies.

My assumption is they brought a bunch of negros who listen to soundcloud rap, and skewed the results.

Self Esteem is mostly about knowing yourself and being happy with it.
You are quite happy with your midwittery and teacher's pet style meandering through life and what it gets you.
I applaud your reasonable self estimate and the comfort level you have with it.

150 IQ is only just over 3 SDs above the middle.
About 3/1000 smart.
Really not that high and there are plenty of them around.
I live in podunk and that still leaves about 20 in my town and that sounds about right. I'd say there is no advantage in anything "meaningful" past this level though.

Also, depends on your goals. A lot of people look stupid, but are quite intelligent if you examine their actual intentions.

The most brain dead thing I've heard today, this just hits me as another thing like Mensa, where "high iq" individuals have to validate themselves because they never got validation from their parents.

If you are such an high iq, why don't you get off of your ass and do something useful?

I'm 140+ IQ and I listen to music. All kinds of music. I enjoy it, the order, how everything joins together, and if it's a soundtrack I can see how it fits the setting and the story.

None of these academics can seem to decide what makes you smarter or dumber. I listen to music in order to conjure memories, get inspiration, to change emotional states, or to enhance and existing atmosphere for a few minutes a day at most (when driving, there can be exceptions). I turn that shit off quickly as soon as the task becomes less a tedious repition of motor functions and more something that actually requires you to focus and process a thought. Sometimes it's nice to just not have constant vibrations rattling your brain.

You may as well have titled the study "people need to turn off the racket in order to focus on important matters". Wow, who would have thought.

Post seems designed to discourage people from listening to music. Makes me think there are benefits to listening to music, benefits that these people in the study aren't getting.

I am mid at best. I find listening to music while enjoyable at that moment, later after I stop I get a feeling of strong mental fatigue. I've thought about this and tried analyzing the entire process and I've found that listening to music is mental work, it requires brain to process and understand music (because it's not just random information, it's ordered). If I am thinking of something then listening to music will be similar to trying to multitask, to think about two or three things at same time by splitting attention.
