Why do people pretend that IQ is important when qualities like drive, will-power and self-confidence are much more important?
Because they don't understand what it means to be smart. They are too stupid to even think that they are anywhere close to you intelligently.
Jeremiah Russell
No, it is a very good predictor of a number life outcomes and behavioral patterns. There are smart people who don't have high IQs, but they are rare. IQ of course isn't everything. There are personality traits and behavioral patterns that also determine how successful someone is. If you think having a high IQ = success and that is all, well, I think we have found part of your problem.
Gabriel White
It's easily measurable compared to other traits you've mentioned. I'd argue that certain IQ is required if you want to be succesful. Probably around 110. Beyond that it doesn't really matter if your IQ is 130 or 150 unless you want to go into mathematics n shit.

I had an iq of 144 and my brother had 143. Or the other way around, at 16.
I barely try and have a 3.80 gpa, and I work full time at a 60k + car+ expenses paid jobby.
A car with a speedometer that goes to 250 can't move unless you put gas in the tank, you neet fuck bag.
Also iq tests are always really high in reasonably smart children. You peaked at 12.
Daniel Edwards
IQ is really just a measure of how quickly you learn things and how well you retain what you learn.
So if your IQ is high but you don't ever open a book, you haven't learnt anything.
>t. Nigger with a 138 IQ.
Ethan Lewis
IQ is something we created to do a very specific job. It's not a meme at all, assuming you understand what it aims to measure.
For measuring intelligence and success, IQ is pretty darn good ... when comparing big populations. On an individual level, there are far too many important variables other than IQ, one of which is luck.
So... if you compare two big groups, one with IQs between 130 and 140 and another of 100 or less, the higher IQ group is much more likely to end up better. But if you pick high-IQ OP and low-IQ Jamal, maybe OP will just fuck everything up while Jamal might get considered funny across the country and get rich on TV.

True intelligence is being replaced by knowledge.
School has more to do with discipline and motivation than IQ of any kind. Unless you are a retard ofc

Lincoln Taylor
To be specific, it's a measurement of how quick you can recognize patterns.
A lot of the basics when it comes to learning a subject is putting terms & definitions into your long term memory. IQ doesn't measure this, and like you said, you can't do this without studying and repetition.

Benjamin Gomez
165+, i need to pay for specialised test to find real figure. iq tests are very narrow test of intelligence, pattern recognition, binary logic bs. hardly any solutions in life or work benefit from it
Angel Cook
>IQ is dead even 100 average >I turn out boringly average
Scales in general don't really account for outliers in both directions. So long as its mostly right for most people its good.
Angel Cook
School studying doesn't need IQ, just willingness to put a lot of effort, hours and concentration on it. Your IQ can't make you less lazy user, even if you have a faster grasp of what you are studying.
Juan Wright
Why do people think 130-140 IQ is genius? That should be considered just normal smart.
Hudson Gray
I think i can relate. Dunno if will help.
Maybe because the things that you were/are interested doesn't corelate with the things that the school showed you.
For example i always been shit in schoo, used to sleep and skip class a LOT. But everybody said that i was a "le above average student" for some fucking reason.
Easton Adams
work ethic and social skills are much more important than IQ.
As long as you have an average IQ (above 100) and possess the 2 skills I mentioned above, you will be successful in life.
Jose Gomez
Pretty much this senpai
IQ in 120's here Did fuck all of my work in highschool, got 100%+ on every assignment I actually did though so barely skated by with a 2.5 gpa, dropped out of college cause I was too lazy to do the work.
Live the neet life and just play rpg's on /tg/ it only takes me about 30 minutes of skimming through a book to get a good understanding of how the system works and about an hour to start rolling up completely broken OP characters. If only I gave enough fucks about life to bother studying science instead learning obscure 40k lore
Isaiah Nelson
I agree with you. Drive will get you much further than IQ alone. Drive and IQ makes for genius.
High IQ on its own will just make you hate all the bullshit you have to do to make money.
Adam Sanders

Caleb Martinez
IQ is DEFINITELY important,dont let anyone fool you. Fact that some werent exacty great in school means shit when the reason is most likely lazyness.
There is a reason why there literally wasnt sub 120IQ innovator in last 100 years. You are simply not smart enough, you cannot learn to recognize logical patterns and geometrical shapes, its ingrained in us. Except when you are literally not fed as a child and therefore never achieve your potential.
People with high IQ definitely see world in different way, more abstract then people with lower one.

When it says "employer paid benefits" is that things like their contribution to your pension or is it benefits in kind?
Jack James
High IQ is required for a business or society to function, luckily for society (and unluckily for high IQers) there are already high IQ people in all the positions needed so high IQ is not really a predictor of success anymore. High IQ will probably lead to frustration, depression and a bunch of bullshit for most. High motivation and good social skills are way more important in modern society than high IQ.

Bullshit. Obviously if you're too lazy to do anything, you're going to fail, so motivation is important.... but today there are so many opportunities open to anybody with the cunning to see them, being informed and intelligent is the surest way to wealth and success.
Brayden Peterson
132 IQ here. I can retain every irrelevant thing I hear and use it accordingly with other irrelevant things, but each time I try to learn something useful or run into a practical problem that I should be able to solve, I blank out.

Hudson Wright
If you really have high iq don't worry too much about school at first. Especially if you come from an unsupportive background. 'Smart' people tend to be delayed in a lot of life's developments, are more often depressed and tend to have communication problems. In many ways those at the high and low end of the bell curve have similar problems, people don't understand what you are saying, why you do things a certain way and why you want to reinvent the wheel to make it work for you. Learning your place takes longer, and there are fewer people able to help or give advice, if you do find them cherish them deeply. If you manage you'll be great and can excel, but you have to swallow your pride and work for it.

i'm happy, gf's happy, making a fair amount from investments (about $250 a week), life's looking up
school is a meme, if your family breaks apart or is shit your grades will tank for no reason (especially if you become shy).
don't let it get the best of you, school is bullshit and anyone who values it highly or believes it to be the best time of their life hasn't actually had a very good life at all.
pick up a few books (How To Make Friends And Influence People is a good one, The Intelligent Investor is too), continue learning. just by doing that you'll breeze ahead of everyone once they finish university. hell, most people stop learning completely once they hit 24.
Henry Carter
Yes. Act like a liberal normie and start to smash puss. I was thinking about using kikebook again for the lib chicks
For me "intelligence" is that thing that makes you learn things that others can't. So yeah, I don't think I'm more intelligent than the average Luigi

Well, have you considered that maybe it isn't just the schools that are made in a way that only retards succeed? Maybe it's also the rest of the surrounding society too. The most retarded examples of our species are the ones that we usually parade around most visibly on the telly.
It seems that there are a lot of people getting rich out of get-rich-quick-schemes than steadily better your predicament through hard work, or at least it seems that there are more lucky people around than say twenty years ago.
Intelligence has become a detriment to success.
Aiden Sanders
Never took an actual iq test, i don't even know where i could. Personally i assume that i am more inteligent than others, but it makes me feel bad, because i always remember that: >Krowa która dużo muczy, mało mleka daje which means: The cow that goes muu muu a lot, gives least milk. it is old polish sentence to describe that pride is sin of stupid ones. Until i have started studying on university of technology, i have never been studying except one time when i had to memorize more than 30 rivers with their location on map of Poland. I was always the best from whole class in maths and languages. Teachers used to say that i am really inteligent but lazy, but i have never seen having best grades as thing worth even thinking about, because without any studying i had easily 4.8 average which makes you get a special certificate with polish flag on it, so my parents were happy. When I was 5-6 i found my first special interest (i am in spectrum) and the biggest i have ever had. To acknowledge nature of God, purpose of life, how and why this way universe works. I finally find all answers (not perfect but acceptable) when i was 19 (3 years ago). About a year ago for the first time i have realized that the teachers who taught me in previous education levels were inferior to me and that my ideas when i was a child were actually correct, but i had beeen always assuming that teacher is wiser than me.
Have you also a problem that you don't know what you actualy know? If someone ask me about something i will probably easily answer, but i won't know that i know it before he'll ask.
I can calculate (count?) everything in my head, every mathematic shit which is not too complex to imagine it. I have problem on university with some Drs because they don't give me points on tasks if i don't show them how i got the answer and "it's obvious" doesn't satisfact them. I have learnt a lot of nipp words, some basic sentence constructions and almost all of the -chan, -san itp.
Carter James
one of the things i like about Sup Forums is it doesn't go in to full damage control when i say something along the lines of "I have a low iq, therefore i am dumb". I just get some nerd reply and call me a dumb faggot nigger.
The authenticity, the honesty, the truth. It's beautiful.
Jaxson Howard
I think IQ is just how fast you're able to learn new things. I didn't give a shit about highschool or college and put minimum effort a few days before the exams to get top grades.
Tbh highschool is absolute bullshit that indoctrinates you to be a good little cuck. People who get picked on and fight back get fucked by the teachers, you're forced to be in the same class and somehow learn things with trash humans next to you. Complete fucking waste of time, at least in college and Uni some girls come from respectable backgrounds and are fun to date/fuck.
Ayden Ramirez
So you want to adjust the entire school system so that it serves a very small minority of above average students? I agree that currently there is waay to much emphasis on the bad students but going towards the other extreme is not the solution. Public education is for the mass that functions well, you know, the backbone of society? We have to put an end to affirmative action. Absolutely. But don't be be bitter about sufficiently intelligent students that are in a good place just because you are not.

IQ doesn't matter unless it's like 160+. success is determined entirely by your physical appearance and how rich your family is.
Anthony Edwards
Unintentionally while i have been watching animu.
I have developed some theories when i was young and later as well, but it turned out that some fags in the past get it too. >7-8 old, holidays after 1st primary class, i realized that if then it was just starting, when it would be end of august i would feel like this time skiped because of that i will probably remmeber thinking about it. >When on biology classes in primary school techer had been teching us about senses i realized that "what we see, hear, feel..." may not be even real and therefore what i only know is that i exist. I've deducated then theory simillar to daltonism, but techer said it is impossible. More than 10 years later i met guy who was daltonists and he said me that my theory is probably real, because it works same way as his defect. >When i was 15 i found pranormal sites and was reading about all that metaphysical shit i've realized that it can really exist because "and He created a Man for His of image" so i realized that reallity is just sum of the beliefs of all people and nothing except our souls doesn't exist. So there is a point in which everything and nothing exist at same time and unintentionally people choose which will appear as "real", fear is antagonist of faith and that only law that exist is logic which makes everything working. Later i found out that there was faggot called schrodinger who already discover this shit. Much more later Sup Forums found meme magic, which works exactly same way.

Discipline is far more impirtant than intellect. It's the reason why Asians are more succesful than whites in America even though they only have a slightly higher IQ.
You're just a lazy asshole, you don't have anyone to blame but yourself.
Hunter Miller
so are you stupid or do you lack motivation?
Carson Clark
IQ can only take you so far, there can also be complications. It can be near impossible to keep highly intelligent people engaged.
There is a great tendency towards depression and a few other mental disorders are more common. I was tested a few times as a child, I eventually found my scores, I was somewhere between 153-163. My older brother was also quite intelligent, my parents made the mistake of enrolling him in the "gifted program" where they removed opportunities to have normal social interaction so they could monitor how he did things like jigsaw puzzles.
If you want to be successful, you have to avoid the pitfalls that actually satisfy all your needs at once. If you can find something that actually keeps your mind occupied for the long term you will crave it like nothing else in the world.

Having a good IQ is one of many factors for success, but it isn't the sole determinant. In your case, your being a lazy piece of shit keeps you from realizing the potential your IQ offers you.
On the flip side, a hardworking person of slightly below average intelligence can be highly successful.
There are limits, though. Someone with a low enough IQ to be designated mentally retarded is pretty much hardline limited in life no matter how smart they are.
Chase Collins
No matter how hardworking they are, I meant. Sorry.
