No.

You never want to be known as some grinder who had to overcome being stupid.

You want to be known as the guy who does things calmy and with ease. This is why in university I would spend 10 hours frantically studying for a final exam but tell people I spent a few hours the night before doing some light review.

People are attracted to natural ability, not work ethic. Which goes into my next lesson - never tell girls how hard you are working.

If I were even 110-115 IQ I wouldn’t have had to study so hard.
Whatever your score, it's already that. You knowing it doesn't change it.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

But it's not, whatever the outcome you already know what it is, taking the IQ test just confirms what you already know to be true.

I legit think my IQ is 100 if I had to guess. There hasn't been any evidence to suggest I'm higher than dead average.

In saying that I prefer coping and thinking there is a small chance it could be higher because I've never officially taken an IQ test. Let me have that brah.

There is a big variance between 95 and 105 though.

At 95 you only mog 37 percent of the population and at 105 you mog 63 percent of the population.

Way too scared of scoring low.

I think if I scored lower than 110 I’d spiral into a severe depression and never get over it srs and if I scored like 90 or something I couldn’t even imagine how bad I’d feel, may rope.

I’m happy not knowing my iq.

Iq is the most important thing in life imo.
The entire ideology is flawed. You can vastly improve your score by preparing and taking practice exams. It's not a strict determination of intelligence. I've met some highly intelligent rednecks who can't even read. (Super Ded fkn Srs)

63+57/2 = 100 though so that's pretty high and half of people can't compete with that

I think there are iq tests that adjust for this though. Like the pattern recognition ones where your level of education wouldn’t matter. You can’t study for those questions, it’s an innate ability.

I think you can improve your working memory or fluid intelligence tho which would help with the calculation based questions. But I’m not too sure, haven’t researched that topic enough. But that’s something I’d like to improve personally if possible.

I’ve actually heard metacognition which is the ability to observe your thought patterns is actually more important than iq tho because having high meta cognition is important for decision making and acting logically instead of impulsively.

not really. it's science. you can increase your score artificially on some tests by cheating/studying but if you were to take a real test without practice or cheating your score will be more accurate

Well iq scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100.

It would be interesting to take a large enough sample who studied in an attempt to increase their iq to see if this 100 mean score improved to like 105.

I think maybe but we wouldn’t see any meaningful improvement of like 100 —> 110.

Seems like a double edged sword. I think I have high metacognition and I also think that it probably led me to a life of escapism. Sometimes being too aware is a problem

Was curious. Apologies for AI. Brutal IQ pill.


Melby-Lervåg, Redick & Hulme (2016) – Meta-analysis (87 studies)

Link:  PubMed⁠
Result (1 sentence): Found no good evidence that working memory training improves IQ or other broad measures of intelligence beyond the specific tasks that were practiced.  

Redick et al. (2013) – Randomized, placebo-controlled trial

Link:  PubMed⁠
Result (1 sentence): Participants improved on the training exercises but showed no improvement in fluid intelligence (IQ-related ability) compared with controls.  

Harrison et al. (2013)

Link:  SAGE Journal Abstract⁠
Result (1 sentence): Working memory training increased working memory capacity but did not increase fluid intelligence.  

Melby-Lervåg & Hulme (2013) – Meta-analysis

Link:  PubMed⁠
Result (1 sentence): Training produced short-term improvements on practiced memory tasks but did not generalize to overall intelligence.

Same.

I’m so into my own head I like to drink because it’s the only thing that lets me escape my thoughts and chill out if only for a few hours. Terrible coping mechanism tho.
