[X] My Assistant

I "had to" take a proper IQ test as part of a larger psych evaluation. In person, monitored by professionals. Took about 45 minutes.

I scored 135 which supposedly makes me smarter than 99% of the world's population. What a depressing piece of information considering how fucking stupid I am. Yes, I'm humble bragging about it on an anime message board, but I'm also kinda serious. How dumb is the average person exactly? All my life I've been gaslit and psyop'd with this vague notion that "everyone feels special". Now they're telling me my gut instinct was right all along and most people are retarded? I don't feel any more intelligent than before. I just feel disillusioned about the state of mankind.

Smart people make stupid decisions all the time.

Spatial relations and pattern recognition make up a huge part of those tests.

Regardless of people's IQ the key is to be able to work out how to effectively use your strengths and manage your weaknesses. A person with a lower IQ that manages their weaknesses can do better in life than a high IQ person that is fragile like glass or has min maxed their strengths in the wrong way.

In proper IQ tests usually 2-3 hours, there are usually different sub domains so you can see where you have different strengths and weakness.

Of course IQ doesn't automatically translate to success or being a good person. That's not the point. It's more that I'm now struggling to envision how the average person even processes information in their everyday life if "what I thought to be barely adequate" is actually supposed to be extraordinary. Explains some things, though.

I've done a lot of tests and mine are hyper lopsided, like genius visual spacial and processing speed and below average working memory.

Yeah this one had 6 parts, or 3 parts each divided into two subsections. My results were pretty consistent throughout all categories. Highest in short-term memory. I unironically believe that playing so many strategy and RPG games with tons of numbers to constantly compare and shuffle around must've helped.

Now try doing an IQ test from the 50's, because since then they've been changing and dumbing it down.

They haven't made the tests easier per se, just the people doing the testing have the option to use the gender / age / ethnic background z-scores for the calculation. So if its a standardized test they might used a different standardized score.

If you are Asian or White then the scores have stayed pretty stable or maybe even gotten stricter recently.


Being white practically includes all Europeans, most Asians and a large chunk of the Middle Easterners.


Maybe White needs to be rebranded as Tan.

That's not even true. And like alluded to above, I'm a straight white male so I get no pity points.

People in the 50s weren't particularly smart. They were like 5 feet tall and their diets consisted of processed shit like white bread and spam. Most people worked in cramped interiors and had barely any education by modern standards. All the downsides of the modern industrialized society with none of the upsides of the wild hunter gatherer, like the ingenuity required to survive in the wild. I see no reason why the 50s brain wouldn't be affected by that lack of nutrition and stimulus just like their bodies were, and if you trust the scientists, intelligence in general has been rapidly growing since the 50s due to basic things just like that.

Now the IQ drop since around the millenium is probably real too. We alredy got into the "diminishing returns" territory of nutrition and basic literacy etc. during the 20th century and have since worked hard to think less, move less and eat worse.

When I last took a proper IQ test years and years ago to see if i was retarded enough for special accommodations in high school (so around age 16), I think I got 122 or something. No idea what I'd get now, over ten years later. 135 is very impressive.

Now they're telling me my gut instinct was right all along and most people are retarded? I don't feel any more intelligent than before.

I can relate to this. But yeah, you're not suddenly more intelligent.
I think George Carlin said it best.
"Think of how stupid the average person is. And then remember that half of them are stupider than that."

I just feel disillusioned about the state of mankind.

There's a south park episode about that [en.wikipedia.org] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ass_Burgers?useskin=monobook
Stan gets diagnosed with aspergers' syndrome and figures out that the way to make everything stop seeming like shit is to drink and get hammered.
If you watch it you should watch "You're Getting Old" first: [en.wikipedia.org] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You're_Ge...seskin=monobook

Psychologist: Huh? This result is really weird, were you in an accident

Me: Yeah as a kid I was in an accident where my skull was smashed open but the doctors said it was a miracle I didn't brain my damage. I also did boxing as a sport.

I've got below average processing speed, really good visual/spacial. Good working memory.
And heh, 'didn't brain my damage.'

good iq

I like to draw. Last night I was chatting with a person who claimed to be an art major... He said that even if it is the same character and the same face, it is difficult to draw well. I think that is because he did not practice enough, because According to my experience, if you draw a cube a hundred times, you will definitely become more proficient in it. No matter how difficult it is to draw. If you still find it difficult to draw a cube a hundred times, it must be because your method is wrong or your practice is wrong. The quantity is not enough..

At this moment, he became angry. One moment, he said that I had high vision and shortcomings, and the other moment, he said that the Popeye I drew was not even comparable to that of painting enthusiasts... Then he excused himself to sleep and went offline.

why is this gallery hidden from the normal user even though it has none of the triggering tags?

I want to develop a pseudo Windows 7 with workarounds for windows 11 and future ones so I can keep using this perfectly glassy design and proper desktop software. After Dumphones Degeneration its all tailored to that now. I need to learn alot of programming fast before more functions are stopping. Its a race against time. Hopefully it will work for a while...

vista was the best looking windows UI.
The best idea for you though would be to stop using windows. Rip the band-aid off.

Idk

Well, sometimes I use Linux. Only for a change of pace. I prefer Linux Mint or maybe Ubuntu Remix if I need low performance for weak hardware. Now I'm using Ubuntu live session, soon back to Win 7 I guess. Yeah, still prefer WINDOWS 7!

urrrhg...scary L*nux word...

I only use Linux in text mode.

The future is AI, meat bag!
