IQ means fucking nothing. I have a 140+ IQ and I cannot concentrate for 10 seconds on a single math problem to solve it. It's fucking driving me insane, everytime I try to concentrate to do something, my mind just wanders away to current world events and my worries about the future.

I believe that this is intentional, everywhere I turn there is just fear and doubt, people don't know how they are going to make it through the year.

How can a white person, aware of his circumstances even function in 2018?

High IQ is a necessary condition for success in many fields but not a one

It's called focus, If you can only concetnrate for 10 seconds, you force yourself to do it for 11 seconds. Then 12, 13 and you continue till you've reached a goal that you set yourself. You train that focus muscle in your brain.

BTW, what scale? Stanford-Binet? Test taken from a licensed psychometrist or some meme online quiz?

*sufficient one

Try a super low dose of adderall(5-10mg) with a full breakfast on days you need to “cheat”

Sounds like you have bad hygene. Take care of your sleep. Eat salubriously. Exercise. Stay sober. Your brain is a ferrari and you're treating it like a junker.

if you cant concentrate for 10 seconds how did you manage to take an IQ test to determine your genius IQ?

>140+ IQ
>not 160+
why even live

Your iq is likely 80, Like most europoors

>salubriously
this is a top tier word I was unaware of

Actually 140 would qualify you as a super genius.

read a 10 signs you have high IQ articles and skimmed over the details

Depends on the scale in which the test was taken. Few people are aware of that when posting their results

For 140+IQ you seem to be lacking in the imagination department, user.

So you have ADD.
A lot of people with higher IQs have it.
It’s also wildly misdiagnosed, so fucking everybody under the age of 16 also apparently has it.

>Q means fucking nothing. I have a 140+ IQ and I cannot concentrate for 10 seconds on a single math problem to solve it. It's fucking driving me insane, everytime I try to concentrate to do something, my mind just wanders away to current world events and my worries about the future.
This is commonly typified as ADD or ADHD. You could try therapy or get some sweet meds. I also have a decent IQ (more like 130) and have trouble focusing.

Everyone thinks they have high IQ
Chances are you’re average.
Remember that people with high IQs are extremely rare and most of us will never meet one in our lives.
People with high IQs can shit on advanced Calculus at age 12 without hesitation.

>Not from western Europe
>White
Okay OP. Whatever you say!

my shrink tested me and supposedly I actually am ~140. I was a quick learner and was bilingual before primary school. Honestly, it's just better clock speed, but a double edged sword of sorts as well. I always felt different and alienated from people, resulting in having only few friends.
Sadly, I am neither smart nor educated as I never utilized my potential to the fullest. Enjoying the little things counts the most to me.

>american education

>140 IQ
>Can't concentrate for 10 seconds on a single math problem.

This means your 80 IQ Ivan. I don't know where you got this 140 number from but if I had to guess you added something wrong.

This sounds like depression. You can get out of it by sleeping better, eating better, and exercising. If you are religious, then pray several times throughout the day. One behavioral therapy that works is to keep a sleep journal. Keep track of when you get in bed, appx. how long it takes to fall asleep, whether or not you wake up in the night, when you wake up, how long it takes to get out of bed after you wake up. and how you feel the next day. If you smoke, or drink, log this activity and see how it affects your sleep. Look for correlations. There is actual research suggesting this can be very helpful. Anecdotally, this practice walked me back from the brink.


Why are slavs always sad?

>salubriously

Western Europe is white? good meme

It's not all about words and numbers. A musical or artistic genius may score high on an iq-test but fail simple math. It may be due to simple disinterest and egoism.

The issue it's aproach, i bet you can do things autistically for ours, but they have be particualr type of things you can aproach mindlessly.

Realize what that mind momentum is, and use it to focus on other things.

Hours, sorry.

Fugg...is that a man?

Especially on fucking 4 chan, filled with white faggots taking online exams scoring 130 and thinking they are master race kek

do neurofeedback to fix you dopamine-fucked brain

YOU LACK DISCIPLINE.
LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR WORRY AND FEAR.
THAT'S FUCKING IT. A SIMPLE TASK THAT TAKES A LOT OF PATIENCE.
IF YOU WHINE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT EVEN THAT, YOU'RE NOT WORTHY BECAUSE YOUR ATTITUDE IS KEEPING YOU FROM SUCCESS.

I don't know. I've seen Mensa people, they are losers. I think you are confusing wunderkinds with high IQ people. Not every former wunderkind grows up into a smart person and not every smart person was a wunderkind.

I took online tests for IQ, and those are trainable. If I study for those tests I can get silly high IQ. The first time I tested, I got something close to 140. I know it doesn't mean shit, but those IQ tests have a pattern, and just like any other standardized test, you can improve on it by a lot. Those standardized tests are a very american thing, and I seriously doubt the people that beat those tests are good at anything else but beating tests. That's really the problem with higher education in the US. Retards with high SAT scores get into college.
I think if you can do shit without direction from somebody, you have a high IQ. There are many people with high IQs. Most never accomplish anything. But they can. Most people who start their own business that becomes successful have high IQ, because they do it without someone standing over them telling what to do. So it's a fairly large number of people. With average white IQ of 100, 130 is 2 sigmas away, so yo are bound to come across 130 IQ+ fairly regularly.

Forgot to add: the bed is only for sleep and sex. Don't hang out in your bed for any other reason. Again, this is supported by research.

You don't have a 140 iq you fucking retarded teenager 16 year old idiot fuck off wasting people's time

>mensa
well only a loser would pay for a pat on the head

Hey russian me

IQ doesn't preclude conditioning. You can be conditioned even if you have 200 IQ (though it generally allows you to see th3 vectors more clearly)

i consider IQ tests to be irrelevant aside from measurements of "raw IQ" (where someone is presented with an IQ test they weren't prepared to take). i could take an IQ test right now and probably get a shit score but if you gave me a month or two to prepare for the types of questions that would be asked i could get a dazzling score. so what's the point of having an intelligence test if it can be manipulated in this way?

say my first score was 100 and my second score after preparation was 140. what should my IQ be? i say it should be 100. the 140 score isnt even a measure of my raw intelligence since i prepared for the test. the 140 score is more of a measure of my determination or grit (different from raw IQ i think). IQ scores are totally fucked.

They are stupid fucking teenagers who take AN ONLINE MENSA TEST which tests for SPATIAL intelligence and it only tests a part of spatial intelligence. The results are not valid. The retarded teenagers even repeat the test to get a better score.

NOBODY on Sup Forums has an iq over 110.

You can also tell by their choice of words and the music they listen to as well as their interests.
The more hedonistic and social a person is the lower their iq is. There is an undeniably strong correlation.

I was did three IQ tests in my life and I won many national and international math competitions, so I highly doubt I'm retarded.

I used to do integrals and those retarded matrix equations like nothing, crunching one after another, for entire afternoons, but for the last year or so I can't do shit, I can't even bring myself to graph a fucking rational function without losing my focus a million times during the process.

Maybe I'm just losing my damn mind

See here:
Actually works. Better R^2 than antidepressants.

Don't know he can be pretty smart at times, yet he seem to lack focus.

>NOBODY on Sup Forums has an iq over 110
Wrong.

brain plasticity starts to degrade after reaching adulthood as well. I reckon you'd probably drop a few points over time.

180 here. A lot of good it’s done me.

>Actually 140 would qualify you as a super genius.
then what is genius level? last i heard was 140 was genius and 140+ was super genius territory. there are people that score up to 200 so what is their classification?

And why is it that you can't concentrate? Something troubling you? Solve the issue and try again.

If there's nothing in particular, start meditating to improve your concentration. Helped me at least.

I think they do it for their resume.
When I was in college, I had good grades, so Phi Beta Kappa sent me the letter saying they elected me into it, and I had to pay some fee. I did for the resume. It helped, I think, I got a job in a major investment bank. After I got a first job I stopped paying membership fees.
I think a good chunk of those people do it for the line in a resume. I'm not sure that helps, though, which tells you all you need to know about these people.

To have a higher iq you need more brain cells, dendrites, neurites, synapses and yadda yadda. These things affect personality traits and behavior. This is why you will never find a social person with a high iq, because the more social you are the less your brain is developed to some extent. Also the behavior and thinking of people on Sup Forums.
Sup Forums consists of the most unsophisicated teenagers who can't figure out simple things. They think they've figured out all the secrets of the world when all they're doing is repeating propaganda.

Licensed, I think it was Stanford-Binet, but I can't go find the papers since I'm not home atm.

What happened with your life? What went wrong?

Screwdrivers mean fucking nothing. I have a professional swiss screwdriver and I cannot drive this fucking nail in no matter how hard I hit it. It's fucking driving me insane, everytime I try to nail something, my screwdriver doesn't seem to be effective at all.

>This is why you will never find a social person with a high iq,
They do exist, they're just rare.

That high an IQ is usually also accompanied by a neurotypical makeup and/or social disability.

As for OP, look up Vipassanā meditation. It'll solve all your problems.

same thing happened to me. I was in art school, on top of my class actually, and then quit because it stopped being fun all of a sudden.

I started doing routine exercise, and it kind of helps. But I sleep 4 hours a night most of the time, even if I destroy myself in the gym.

Will try keeping the sleep journal, thanks user.

okay you faux high IQ faggots, here's the pleb filter

do you believe in the paranormal?

A weed-smoking socialite who talks with nigger ebonics, goes to parties, says the most stupid things in the world, dresses in the same clothes as low-iq niggers, but no he took an online iq test which says he has a 140 iq. Yea no.

It irritates me that teenagers can actually be so unintelligent and away from reality that they think they have a high iq. How stupid can you be?

At age 7 my IQ was measured at 134. And this wasn't some random internet IQ test. Hell, the internet wasn't that ingrained in the culture here yet at the time. They had some specialist come to measure my IQ at school because I was so far ahead of my peers.

I've always been kind of smart. Not a genius by any means and my school results were always average at best but I didn't have to do anything at all to get those average results. I'm not sure how high my IQ would be if it were measured now but I highly doubt it would be above 110. I honestly think the only reason I come across as 'smart' is because I have quite an obsessive personality so whatever subject attracts my attention, I immediately try to learn everything there is to know about it.

I put very little trust in IQ scores, at least for an individual. It seems most useful in understanding behavior of large groups.

IQ is potential, not ability. If you don’t use it you lose it.

>Not every former wunderkind grows up into a smart person and not every smart person was a wunderkind.
i grew up with a kid and both he and his brother scored off the charts for IQ when they were very young (parents confirmed this). both were pretty sharp when you talked to them and are still probably sharp. both are also working in warehouses. i tried really hard to convince my buddy to get into school but he was more interested in drugs and alcohol.

I believe there is much we still don't understand about the wave nature of this universe.

Retard notice that there are many types of intelligences. Scoring high in social intelligence or high in a specific area of spatial intelligence means absolutely nothing more than you have a feminine brain (if you are socially intelligent) or that you may been good with navigating on a map, or visualizing geometry. It means absolutely nothing.

Also, iq tests for children are not the same as the ones for adults.

I wanna bet with you that you have an iq of around 90-100 which is the normal.

You just sound insane.

I have an IQ of 140+ and have worked for 8+ hours straight on problems without breaks or distraction. I credit meditation and an ordliness of soul with this rather than my IQ though.

A lot of things went wrong, my gf got sexually assaulted, relatives died, I lost my steady job...

This is just the tip of the iceberg, but yeah.

I might just become a jantor and drink myself to death.

Like Lord Byron or something dude Idk, they definitely exist. Napoleon

Having a high IQ doesn't mean that you're invulnerable to human emotions.

>How can a white person, aware of his circumstances even function in 2018?
You get used to everything being shit, and after a while you're able to clear your head and focus.

Lol, not all that rare. Legit tested 136 in kindergarten (on a clinically administered test not online b.s.) and was put into gifted classes.

Have add among other things and barely passed high school. But was the student who could be paying no attention, be called on to make an example, and get question right pissing off teacher.

Not taking full advantage of the ability but it is real. In college cheated into the math level of people who took AP math in hs. (I took the most basic to simply graduate) learned trig and advanced algebra simultaneously while learning Cal in class.... got an A and went on to have a math minor.

Still, main evidence is ability to visiualize, I can make things (be it wood, leather, cardboard or whatever material) without patterns or instructions just by visualizing how flat peices go together or fold to make 3D things.

I was tested at 154 through a proctored test when I was 16. That's not even the real outlier factor of me, though, it's my vision. Better than 20/6 (that was the limitations of their testing)

>muh many types of intelligence
The theories of Gardner are highly debatable.
Intelligence was a topic in several classes I took in college and even some professors were teaching completely contradicting ideas because some were in the Gardner camp while others followed the various forms of criticism against it.

My conclusion was that as of yet we can't say wether multiple types of intelligence is actually a thing or not.

>brain plasticity starts to degrade after reaching adulthood as well.
is this a part of the brain's natural function or a result of society forcing adults to perform daily routines?

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Rick’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick’s existential catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

Braindead, of course there are multiple intelligences. Linguistic, your ability to understand and use language, spatial intelligence, your ability to visualize objects and understand geometry and so on, mathematical, etc., etc., etc.

>IQ doesn't preclude conditioning.

I know exactly how you feel. I have to read for an exam that's up in one week but I constantly wander away from it. I probably don't have 140 IQ though, but I haven't done any tests.

^this
there's a book called mindfulness in plain english that guides you through the art of meditation really well desu

I got 128 on a test I had no preparation for that my psychiatrist gave me. I never really consider myself smart. Maybe I'm just good at following patterns.

Still IQ ain't shit if you're unmotivated, lazy and lack concentration.

If you aren't lying then you are likely just suffering from depression or some mental illness. Comes with the territory why do you think Jews have such high rates of mental illness?

Jews did it

You looked as his flag and said Russian. Your IQ has been revoked.

Start lifting brah

Take Petersons advice, if you're anxious or can't deal with the future, then shrink your time horizon, worry about a more manageable time span, if years bother you, worry about the next few months. If you can't cope with a few months then deal with the next few weeks, if not weeks then days, if not days then hours.

Horseshit. How'd you manage to focus on the IQ test long enough to determine your 140+ IQ if you can't manage < 10 seconds?

Hi IQ people always had problems with normal life. Some became famous and created horribly depressing music and literary works, to cope with the harshness of life, like Nietzsche, Goethe or Dostojevsky. Just seeing all facts without any illusions is not easy to handle. So we need to escape sometimes and let out minds wander.

>I got 128 on a test I had no preparation for that my psychiatrist gave me. I never really consider myself smart. Maybe I'm just good at following patterns.
my uncle took the SAT (before anyone aggressively studied for the SAT) and his score alone earned him a full ride scholarship to MIT. he turned it down though because he was afraid to move too far away from home and took the full ride from the nearest university. he still ended up getting rich and running his own company but im always baffled at the thought of him turning down a full ride to MIT.

Those are aptitudes not “intelligences”.

The basic debate is whether every aptitude stems from the same base level intelligence.

my IQ is 75.

AMA

Take some ritalin my man

>there are people that score up to 200 so what is their classification?
It's called a Puff Piece. Shitty journalism.
The occasional white buffalo that scores that high is not your concern.

this. It is really hard because it's mental shit but totally worth it. Im already like in 30s or something and my life has turned around completely

This is how I see it classified most of the time.

100 - Average
115 - Above Average
130 - Smart
145 - Very smart
160 - Genius
160+ - World changing genius.
