It's Over The cognitive gap between 170 and 150 IQ is MASSIVE

[Blacksmith]

Iq has nothing to do with that, there's no such thing as iq, only practice. When you spend time on something, you get better at it, if an average uneducated person spends his whole life doing iq test questions, he would score the highest. Human intelligence can't be measured numerically

What a load of BS.... hahaha

Let me guess, you have a an iq of 210 right?

What you say is not an argument, but I might be one of the most intelligent people you never met.
That said, general cognitive ability, often measured in IQ tests, is not something you can train to improve. Neither can you say that feats high IQ people do are possible to replicate by low IQ people, "given enough time".
Any true, conceptual understanding and implementation of advanced ideas rely on the intelligence to intuitively relate to them.

Offcourse you're the most intelligent person I will ever meet GrAY

ok

I know exactly how you feel. I have an IQ of 190 but my down syndrome neighbor sports an IQ exceeding 200, and it's like he's speaking a different language when he starts breaking down his pokemon cards.

Not what I said. At all.

No offense but this is the sort of thing that only truecels care about. In particular asian truecels who grew up in that type of competitive culture. It's basically a coping mechanism. They can't participate in the mainstream social and romantic hierarchy, so they rank themselves by test scores and whatnot instead.

My high school had that sort of competitive academic culture. Pretty much all the top performers went on to work some sort of cubicle job. I certainly wouldn't call them failures but they didn't become famous rockstars (or even rich)

Meanwhile, @Chad doesn't give a shit if his IQ is 70 or 140; he's out living life and getting pussy

I think @SlayerSlayer had a thread at one point that pointed this out

Absolutely no offence taken on my side, I just found it vital to point out that general cognitive ability (here "IQ") is not a parameter that can be "trained" or "improved", and that everything is NOT doable for anyone, even provided there is enough (unlimited?) time for training.

No leftist tabula rasa nonsense can change that, at least for now.

I was simply pointing out that my father is far more smarter than I will ever be mathematically. That's why I used his national rankings on the mathematics section of a college entrance exam and the composite of my two cognitive scores to demonstrate the cognitive gulf between us. Both tests are primarily measures of intellect rather than of memorization (a certain degree of knowledge is needed for the college entrance exam, but since most of the brightest people in the country studied the basics in advance due to the relative importance of the test in Korea, it doesn't impact national rankings at the very top since scores at the top are based on killer questions that rely on ingenuity)

Both me and my father are extremely academically lazy (with the exception of mathematical problem solving in the case of my dad) unlike the typical Asian. My father never attended a private cram school and neither did I

Also, being one of the most mathematically talented people in the country is fundamentally different from being the top of a single high school, no matter how prestigious. The statistically expected IQ of a high school valedictorian is probably not much higher than 150 IQ, which is not that high anyway. The math IQ of one of the mathematically talented people in either Korea or Japan would probably be somewhere between 170 and 180 math IQ (China would be even higher due to having a much larger population)

My father would go on to work in a lucrative field with stock options that would be worth billions today if he hadn't forfeited his job early on to spend more time with his family. If he was just a bit more ambitious and selfish, he would have been richer and arguably more successful (anonymity) than every rockstar on the planet

On top of that, most of the richest people in America are tech executives, not rock stars or celebrities in general (one of these career fields is more g-loaded than the other)
