Theory My social IQ might be below 70

[Horatio Ludwiczek]

In a roomful of young people my age, I am often the most clueless person or one of the most, frequently getting in trouble for absent-mindedness or forgetfulness

Assuming the people I interact with is a representative sample of my age cohort in the US, that means I am the most clueless person out of approx. 50 people

That would make me +2 SD in cluelessness, or -2 SD in social IQ

Social IQ of 70 (U.S. norms)

have you had your IQ tested?

 

[Sir Waco]

my energy drinking IQ has to be at least 180

 

[Horatio Ludwiczek]

have you had your IQ tested?

152 (SD 16) on a nonverbal IQ test

144 (SD 15) on a scholastic test converted into an IQ score

Composite of both would be +151 IQ (SD 15), or +3.4 standard deviations above the mean at top 1 in 3,000 (U.S. norms)

I would estimate it's about the same for me just thinking back on how good I was socially compared to other people back in school. There was only maybe one or two people I knew in the same year group as me in school that were worse socially than me

Social IQ isn't real

Social IQ isn't real

Facial IQ is all that matters

There aren't social IQ, there are just IQ and many people who want to believe that they are smarter than they actually are

It just might be cognitive mismatch
