I’m sorry to report that in order to see the results, you basically fail the IQ test:
It’s a very dark pattern, they ask the $2 only after 40 minutes of questions and after getting your email for spam. Then they show that classic fake loading and fake elaborating screens. At that point you’re exhausted and just pay
Aha, the Intuit trick of making you fill out your “free” tax return for 3 hours before demanding $300
Lol fantastic shitpost
Even better if it’s genuine

“That’s good, buddy, good for you!”
Not to brag, but I’m in the top 100% of IQ scores.
How could It be more clear? It literally says in a room of 1000 you’re smarter than 345.
The funniest part is that only counts if the thousand people are representative of the full spectrum of intelligence.
Depending on where you are, you may not even be smarter than 345 people. Trump rally? Smarter than 1000 people.
The irony of the whole thing is actually pretty funny
I remember doing the Mensa free test for shits and giggles in high school. Basically just gave you a “129+” estimated score and told you they couldnt “estimate higher” due to it not being a “complete test” and then wanted your to book an in-person IQ test for +100€. I just found it so funny how much snob copium Mensa is, like theres no way I have 129+ IQ. If I would care enough to find out i wouldnt pay 100€ either. At best IQ is an irrelevant metric at worst its used by terrible people who think IQ is an all-encompassing intelligence metric to boast about how allegedly smart they are.
Paying for an IQ test is a test in itself. If you pay that much to get a number you can’t be that smart.
People with actual higher scores don’t need it to be explained, and people with lower scores don’t want it to be explained.
IQ is, for the most part, a stupid measure. Or at least, it measures one specific thing, which is basically how quickly you can learn. That is to say, in theory, if you put someone with a 120 IQ and someone with an 80 IQ into a class, the first one should theoretically outperform the second if they put equal effort in.
I will say this frankly: I have a very high IQ - I was tested first when I was 6 and have been tested a couple of times since. I do have a learning disability - ADHD - and mine is severe, at that. So while I do generally pick up on things faster than some others on average, I certainly don’t pick up on everything quickly. There are subjects I absolutely do not get. And furthermore, thanks to circumstances and the stupid ADHD, here I am at 50, neve having had steady jobs (I did work 5 years one place), in shitty health (six heart attacks, below-knee amputation, congestive heart failure, on dialysis because my kidneys failed), with my wife and I surviving because while we both had ADHD and struggled, she’s been more consistent about keeping work, and definitely contributes more to the household budget.
So a high IQ basically means extremely little. You don’t have to have IQ to find success in life, or even to be highly degreed and an intellectual. It just means that you probably have to work a bit more at it. That one specific aspect of life. And there are many many aspects of life.
High IQ scores mean you’re good at IQ tests, and that’s it.
Eons ago, when I joined the army as a conscript, the officer said I scored higher than 90% of anyone taking the test.
The test results implied that I’m smart. My life experiences prove otherwise.
I always liked putting it in D&D terms: I’m not sure if I have high INT and low WIS, or if it’s the other way around.
Shouldn’t this be on the shitpost community??
The site didn’t make clear that’s not a good thing
Hahahahahaha ha, omg, the irony
That’s comedic brilliance right there.
Not to poke extra fun, but they even give examples to better visualize it. 😅 I have to think this post is just a bit of trolling anyway, though.
“People who boast about their IQ are losers” Stephen Hawking
Here I just assumed all online IQ tests always vastly inflated the results to make their idiot users feel smart and hand over money for the certificate or whatever.
Above average that has to count for something right?
…
Until you remember that the literacy rate is only slightly higher than that and the average person is a sustenance farmer.
You just better be glad this survey almost certainly doesn’t take selection bias into account and these numbers mean literally nothing.

Listen man, I just do what the autocorrect tells me to do, if you have an issue take it up with the boss.
The real IQ test is whether or not you give a shit about IQ.
Everyone who cares about it is some kind of fucking idiot or another.
It’s not a terrible metric if it’s used as it was initially intended. IQ was supposed to be a benchmark to show where you’re at, like weighing yourself on a scale. Then you’re supposed to take measures to improve it. It was never meant to be a defining attribute or a contest. Bragging about having a higher IQ than someone makes as much sense as bragging about how much skinnier you are than someone else. Bragging about having a 135 IQ makes as much sense as bragging about weighing 135 lbs.
you’re supposednto take measures to improce it
uhmm? No? As far as I understand IQ tests actively attempt to make harder to get better at them, of course thats a futile goal and as the SAT showed any test can and will be game’d and SAT promptly gave up on that
Where on earth are you getting this from?
Galton was a eugenicist who thought intelligence was baked into one’s bloodline, Spearman’s entire career was that the g-factor was a relatively immutable cross-domain constant, Binet was measuring skulls phrenology style, etc.
IQ is just one factor of intelligence, and not even the most important one. And even so, 94 is only just below average, it’s not so bad.
Just curious, what’s the most important one?
I put more points into my Wisdom stat.
I’d say EQ (emotional) is more useful on a daily basis
Maybe, but I don’t know if that’s a good thing. Social intelligence is how CEOs and other charlatans get disproportionate success in society, and if all we had was social intelligence humanity would be nothing but smooth-talking cavemen.
If we all had emotional intelligence, we’d be good at seeing through the shit of smooth-talking cavemen.
Good point.
We almost all have, but those without (at least those with ego problems) hone their skills their entire life to fool everyone else. IMO.
People often say that psychopaths act like they do because they don’t know how it makes people feel but the opposite is actually true - they know exactly how other people feel which is why they’re so good at manipulating them. They simply just don’t feel bad about taking advantage of that.
There is scientific evidence for the existence of emotional intelligence, but it not yet clearly defined nor easily measured.
It mainly exists as a tool for consultants to extract fees from corporate clients.
My only weakness! (Well also bright lights, rough textures, certain sounds…)
My IQ is so high, I don’t need to brag about it.
My iq is even much higher than yours and I also don’t need to brag about it.
My IQ is so much higher than yours that I can’t even count it, and I also don’t need to brag about it.
Mine is higher than you can count, so just forget about it. And I also don’t need to brag about it btw.
Yeah, but I brag so much about my high that I don’t even need to count about it!
I count so much brag that I don’t believe you anymore.
