🧵 Does the midwit meme have any merit? What is /sci/'s IQ?

Anonymous No. 16625548

Please take the CAIT here and post the results:
https://cognitivemetrics.com/

Anyways, what do (you) think the average IQ of /sci/ is? Are you all midwits larping as geniuses? What about other boards?

I still can't believe that IQ is normally distributed. For every 110 iq person, there is a 90 iq person. For every 120iq person, there is an 80iq person. For every 150iq person, there is a 50iq person.
Of course this is logical, but 70iq seems so much dumber than 130iq seems smart.

The fair question would be "What is most likely to be found in functional car". Of course it is easy to guess, but the problem is that you have to guess, assume things and either add more to the conditions of the question, or go against them. The problem with these types of question is that when there's no concrete specifications, people can start assuming that there's some trickery going on and answer wrong not because they couldn't find the answer, but because they assumed that test tries to trick them into picking the "right" answer.

Which points to most self proclaimed IQ tests being invalid. Wish someone would sue one of those companies for false claims but I guess if they don't charge for the tests, it would be difficult to prove economic damage to a court.
If you want to know the general neighborhood of your IQ score, get a therapist to administer a valid test. You could try Mensa but in the US they don't score them, it's just pass/fail. The online "Mensa" tests are all invalid scams.
It's not like knowing your score is going to make you more or less intelligent than you are now. Maybe the only real positive outcome would be to keep you from being delusional about your level of intelligence. If you're not two standard deviations above the mean, that's completely fine. The vast majority of people aren't and most of them still are able to have good lives. But if it turns out your IQ is around 105, maybe going into theoretical physics isn't a good choice.

If you really want to test your intellect start doing math. Math is literally pure logic in its essential form. How far you will be able to climb in understanding math is how smart you are. All these "are curtains blue" and "put shape into a shape hole" tests are bullshit and are more useful to test your autism or adhd rather than intelligence.

It seems that the midwit meme has legitimacy. Anecdotally, I've spoken to dumb, homeless stoners who avoid the vaccine like the plague.

I've also spoken to PhD guys that took the vaccine, but they're still somewhat likely to take it.

I will rant a bit about the midwit meme since I came from >>>/pol/501388867

Part of the archetypes of a midwit is nitpicking unnecessary details and then passing it off as if you're einstein. This guy was nitpicking that I chose the wrong lagrangian off of google, and then tried to assert that I don't have a degree, and my argument is invalid, even though lagrangian mechanics is deterministic for all times. It's one of those things a typical redditor basedboy would do. They'd point out a spelling mistake instead of the actual argument and then play it off as if you committed heresy and need your degree and upvotes revoked.

Yes. One more aspect:
The dimwit operates on instinct, and doesn't really think abstrctly enough to be sold on ideas that contradict it (e.g. gender studies or similar nonsense). The midwit is happier disregarding his instinct, having "fath in syenss" and a desire to show off fancy ideas to his colleagues, so he will dive assfirst into hatever retarded big-word idea. The smart guy is more likely unable to buy into the ideas, ever feeling them to be suspect. Maybe he put a lot of thought in and validated that which his instinct told him anyway.
tldr midwits smart enough for fancy but retarded ideas; idiots don't because can't; smarts don't cus it's retarded, reverts to instinct

I guess it's also propaganda: you target your propaganda at the masses, not the far ends of the bell curve, so it will go over the idiot and under the smartie to be more convincing for the midwit

In all practical respects, this is not a true statement. Brain damage and neurocognitive impairment can come from a variety of sources over your lifetime. If at 12 you moved to a house with lead paint and air pollution and had a few concussions playing sports and binge drank a few too many times at parties and smoked a bunch of weed, staring at your PC and phone screens for the majority of your day, for several years and then took another IQ test it would be lower and you would be less intelligent. But the brain is also miraculously skilled at healing and adapting to injury, so you probably wouldn't be fully retarded unless you got some serious injury, just slower than if you had much less environmental damage.

This world is not designed to be mind-safe, act accordingly.

Some of these questions were mildly frustrating. A horse does not require eyes to be a horse, for example. It'd be nice to see how my responses were marked. Paywalls are lame.

Also, after browsing this thread, it appears I may have taken the wrong test.

I don't particularly care what the right test is, the body can't write coherent questions.

I've now spent considerably longer than the original 30 minutes on the other tests I noticed linked in this thread. I don't think I would weigh a rote vocabulary test so highly in a generalized IQ metric. The digits test was a little unwieldy toward the end. I think I enjoyed the figure weights test the most. I might look more of these up.

I'm not sure about this data. Anecdotally, something I've maybe noticed throughout my life is that a considerable portion of the people I've encountered who could perform well with rote memorization were what I'd probably consider religious to some degree, but I've spent most of my time in the eastern to southeastern US, so probably the majority of people I've encountered, in general, are what I'd consider at least somewhat religious. I generally think IQ metrics are too misleading to take seriously, though I do enjoy some of the tests themselves, for some reason. I think I've seen some chimp-like apes that would perform well on some of the visual parts of the CAIT.
