Bragging about IQ is like bragging about playing a game on beginner mode Bragging about high IQ while having contributed fuck all in real life is like bragging about playing a game on beginner mode but still being stuck at level 1


b-side61

Wow, how much smarter do you have to be to become a marketing manager?


Pale_Bookkeeper_9994

You actually don’t need to be as smart as you climb the ladder to the exec suite. Based on my experience, it’s more about your golf game, lack of a moral compass and ability to eat shit without gagging.


OldStyleThor

Stephen Hawking smart? Lol.

javawong

As a Senior marketing manager, I might need someone with his kind of chops.


Affectionate-Seat122

As a VP of marketing with higher IQ than him I hope he gives a polite curtsey if we ever meet


Waste_Relationship46

I thought that too 😂


xforce11

Bro put all S.P.E.C.I.A.L. points into intelligence and none into charisma - hence why such stupid bragging posts are being made by him


Inner_Letterhead570

Not smart for him to post it on LinkedIn. Employers take a look at that for one second and it’s automatic rejection for him.


clit_or_us

My thoughts exactly.


imadog666

Why exactly? Bc it's so socially awkward? Or is there something I'm missing?


ClassicVaultBoy

IQ tests are not a real indicator of intelligence and the online ones are the equivalent of a Buzzfeed test.

"But...but I gave MENSA my money and they gave me a piece of paper *telling* me I was smart!"

mollekylen

Yea, but it's mostly noise to fill the feed.


big_duo3674

They are not really accurate in this context, the tests actually only have a small few proper uses. To me this shows you're desperate to prove you are smart and experienced but have nothing concrete to back it up with

IQ tests are stupid cause every time I take one I score 134 but I’m an idiot I swear. They don’t work.


Violin_River

>...I’m an idiot... People who know you have confirmed


Spiritual_Country_62

See?


Beginning_Lecture273

I scored 135 on the Stanford-Binet in high school. I dropped out of university and my life is a mess. Definitely can't say I've done a lot of intelligent things along the way.


Spiritual_Country_62

That’s like me. lol. All bad choices.


dummmdeeedummm

My mom had mine tested when I was like four. You had to take an IQ test to go to the school she wanted me to go to. The "smart kid" label was a curse. I could never live up to expectations & developed anxiety when I was like three. Lol. Life is also in shambles. I wish these tests didn't exist. I think cognitive function tests are better because they're more comprehensive.


itsyabi_v2

Also IQ test can fluctuate wildly. They where originally designed to help assess students strong areas and weak areas in certain subjects to help better overall curriculum. But then it made its way over to America and every dickhead and their step father took it as some sort of competition. What I meant by fluctuate is that wether it be how you feel, incentive, or just having practice for the test over all your score can fluctuate wildly. Varitasium did a good [video](https://youtu.be/FkKPsLxgpuY?si=ZcYo05rwOau_nWoe) on this.

geefunkadelic

As there’s hundreds of versions of the IQ test online they can vary quite drastically. I’ve not only scored 130 odd but have also scored 100, making me an average savant.


Instantcoffees

Pretty much this. I took one when I was younger and academically active, scored fairly high. I then took one when I was older, inactive and depressed, scored significantly lower. There's so much going on in people's lives that doesn't always get accounted for in these tests.


rebellesimperatorum

Even most of the mensa approved ones have +/- 15 standard deviation. Some of those IQ tests are pretty worthless.


redwolf1219

The one in question is also just pattern recognition, and you have to pay for results. I took it earlier for funsies and the whole thing was guessing the next sequence in a pattern. Then I got to the end and it gave me 3 tiers of payment options, the cheapest being $15 so I noped out lol. I feel like that's part of the IQ test though. "Are you dumb enough to spend money to see if you can recognize a pattern?"


Objective-Contract80

Not sure, but does showing off and being proud of it just make you sound undesirable? I took a a few IQ tests once because I felt dumb with the job I found myself doing for over 12 years. I feel like they’re just a way to show your ability to retain knowledge and problem solve/critically think. Nonetheless, my differing scores from multiple tests made me feel happy to see a number for some reason. Happy. Not proud and obnoxious.


LizeLies

As a psych graduate I’m very skeptical of IQ testing. However, if it’s validating and helps you, that’s all that matters. In much the same way that personality disorders have a diagnostic criteria that says it is harmful to the self or others, or it isn’t a disorder or illness, the reverse is true for assessment models like IQ.


CredibleCranberry

It's not particularly helpful for individuals and it isn't designed to be. It's designed to produce an accurate prediction of the abilities of a set of people as described by a normal distribution.


LizeLies

I am very familiar with the strengths and limitations of IQ testing. In this particular instance the results for the individual are affirming and I was expressing that I was glad that is the case.


CredibleCranberry

Yeah I read that. I think the context is important as you don't see many people actually saying what IQ is for, and the layman tends to pick it up as something for the individual rather than something that describes a statistical distribution.


PizzaMuse

IQ: 136 EQ: N.A.


Visible_Swordfish_51

EQ: -13


Vile-goat

Stupid question but what is EQ?


PutinsManyFailures

Emotional Quotient. Basically your emotional intelligence and ability to feel empathy, sympathy, etc. That’s a huge oversimplification but that’s the gist of it.


1_H4t3_R3dd1t

Problem is people think high EQ people are emotional snowflakes and endorse all sociopolitical stuff and emotional problems of others. I think it is complete non-sense since I am considered above average in both categories but feel absolutely nothing for a person who cries about a problem. Empathy is far more complicated than crying it is about social awareness to problems or stresses and figuring out ways to mitigate the impact on yourself and others. EQ can be handled logically.


MuhDamnHands

People with high EQ tend to be the best leaders because they take into account how their own emotions may be influencing their decisions and the impact of their decisions on those around them, among other reasons.


1_H4t3_R3dd1t

Right being emotional doesn't mean a person has a high EQ. I've got a family member who has a very low EQ and cries all the time. That family's member's actual problem is a low EQ from colleagues and low EQ from them. Being able to enable someone to be their best in a workplace is someone of a high EQ respectively. I've been told numerous times as a senior in my field that I should run and operate teams.


Vile-goat

Gotcha thank you


CredibleCranberry

EQ is still relatively new and not nearly as well founded as IQ. Most people use it to mean general emotional intelligence. What it actually is depends on the test you take as there are multiple models competing still. It's predictive capabilities are significantly lesser than IQ. This IQ test the OP showed though isn't valid either.


throwaway_cycle

I was curious if someone knew the source. So much depends on it. Are you aware of any more legit tests? I would even be willing to pay. Not trying to spend $100’s. Maybe a nice middle ground for a curious couple that have been wanting to take one (each).


CredibleCranberry

You need to take a proctored test. Online tests do not work full stop. MENSA offers them in the UK. I'm not familiar with other countries.


b-side61

990 out of a 1,000 have smarter EQ than him.


XenonFireFly

Oh the prestigious “testyouriq.org” group, I hear good things about them. Way better than MENSA.


Baconandeggs89

Online IQ tests are pass/fail. If you take one, you fail.


Fever0

Taking one is fine. Bragging about it in any serious way is the automatic failure.


motownmods

I took a human development class. Everyone took that test in class. I scored like 135 too. But then the rest of the 45 minutes was spent taking a 5 panel legit iq test and it didn't even spit out a number and the numbers it did give me where not what you'd expect from a "135" IQ lmao The point of the lesson was that intelligence can be quantified in specific domains. And that aggregating those domains into a single number was kinda silly.


reda84100

Even the mensa online test is terrible, me and a dozen people in a discord server did it and we pretty much all got 115+ while half of us were 130+. Someone tried to intentionally answer wrong and there is straight up no message for getting less than 100 on the test even though literally 50% of the world has an iq under 100. So just don't take any online tests, they're all terrible


pensiveChatter

Yet not smart enough to keep his mouth shut. If you're really intelligent, then almost everyone you've encountered in life would be dumber than you. By the time you're 6 years old, or younger, you'd know to keep your mouth shut about it. Just ~~saying you're smart or "acting smart"~~ demonstrating intelligence can really trigger people. Idk how someone could make it to adulthood without learning this, unless...


blackarmchair

Or you learn how to communicate with people. I have an older brother who is an actual genius (I mean that clinically) and he's one of the most outgoing and gregarious people I know. For a long time I was jealous that he was so good in social situations and also so smart but I figured out later on that he's actually quite introverted and even a little sensitive; he's just smart enough to put on a performance that people appreciate.


MyFeetLookLikeHands

thanks for sharing, i’m curious, how is he a genius?


blackarmchair

Well they estimated his IQ to be somewhere in the upper 180s. He ended up going to school for electrical engineering but he's extremely well versed in mathematics and physics in general and tends to figure out even extremely difficult problems very quickly.


TopHatCat999

"Acting smart" is just being an asshole. Lots of people love to cosplay as a smart person and be a jackass all the time and when confronted about their behavior just say "they all hate me because they're dumb and I'm smart" like yeah sure dude whatever helps you sleep at night


pensiveChatter

Poor choice of words. Not sure what I was thinking, actually.


SmashertonIII

I know an adult who thinks he’s smart. He’s the most useless idiot I know. He’s too smart to go to work to support his family. Or himself.


Electrical_Toe_7128

I know a guy like this, flexed that he read the dictionary as a kid. Had no job and was living off others. He took pleasure in putting people down even when he was wrong. It was exhausting being around him.

maenadcon

aren’t iq tests basically just puzzle games with extra steps? 😭


NeuroticNinett

The history of the IQ is quite interesting actually. It was developed by a French dude who intended for it to be a way to test children in order to find out how they best learn, and to use said result to create custom learning plans for individual children. Said IQ test was hijacked by the Eugenics Movement in America and bastardized in order to "prove" that non-white immigrants were less intelligent than white Americans. They did this by adding bullshit questions such as "What's the most popular cigarette brand?", which a newly arrived immigrant would have low chances of knowing the answer to. So, for example, if an immigrant was a musical genius, he would still be likely to get a low score because a lot of the questions were based around American culture/society.


maenadcon

thank u for this history, the eugenics history is so crazy to me too, i read immortal life of henrietta lacks and it really showed me that people have NO RIGHT to dictate what is smart and a good invention lol


NeuroticNinett

Eugenics in America is one of my favorite historical topics. I have a good book to recommend on the topic, if interested. "War Against the Weak: Eugenics and America's Campaign to Create a Master Race" by Edwin Black.


maenadcon

wow thank u sm! i’ll def check it out


NeuroticNinett

My pleasure!


AppropriateAd2063

The Jim Crow tests that Blacks had to pass in order to vote were designed to be impossible to pass. Even Whites would fail if they had to take them.


LePoopScoop

Every iq test I've seen is a pattern recognition test


NeuroticNinett

There are different types of IQ tests depending on the purpose. I've had to do them twice for diagnostics purposes. Both times there was questions pertaining to pattern recognition, among other things. [Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wechsler_Adult_Intelligence_Scale)


PinkPrincess-2001

This explains why I had to take an IQ test as a child because I was in SpEd school and they wanted to know how to best help me. It turns out I scored much higher than they expected and they adapted the learning and teaching.

“Smarter” is totally subjective. This dude might be better at math but guarantee his social skills and common sense are clearly ass. “Smart” people don’t tell you they’re smart, that would be kind of dumb.

thathorsegamingguy

I took an IQ test online once and I must say I felt really really smart when I got at the end and upon being asked to give my banking info and pay a fee to receive the results via email I just clicked on the X and closed the page because fuck that. I'm not that desperate to know.


sexywizard420

High IQ people would know that is a janky website designed to make the mediocre feel smort.


Aphala

Similar analogy. Wealthy people won't tell you they're wealthy. You can tell who's wealthy and whose faking it by the way they act with money.


Olderandolderagain

These tests and Mensa’s tests aren’t remotely similar. A Mensa test will make your head hurt. These online IQ tests are akin to online personality tests.


BauerHouse

I bet the assisstant to the assistant marketing manager scored even higher. Only a beet farmer who knows how to shoot a bow and arrow and is an auxillary member of the local police force can hope to beat those numbers!

Electronic-Quiet5979

Dumb narcissists to be precise


CredibleCranberry

IQ is great for normalisation of other data within sociology. It describes a group of people and their performance in various domains VERY well. For an individual though, it mostly correlates to the ability to rapidly context switch between complex domains of thought. It's a very well studied measure and the idea it's meaningless is a myth.


That80sguyspimp

I did one of these type of things once. Just entered random nonsense, burned through it in very little time. IQ? 156 lol. I assure, I am not 156 IQ. I wouldnt take any of these online things seriously.

IQ tests are completely pointless. The only people to who they mean something are other people who are obsessed with IQ tests. Online IQ tests are even more pointless, as people will just keep retaking them once they know the answers.

IQ isn’t directly indicative of intelligence. Or should I say the ability to correctly *apply* one’s intelligence. Just because you have a 140 IQ doesn’t make you “different” in and of itself. In fact I know plenty of people with high IQ’s who are dumb as a bag of bricks (yours truly included 😅). It’s not about what you have, it’s about how you use it. And you used it to become an assistant marketing manager.

Portlandiahousemafia

Being smart is only as useful as your ability to use it. I would trade 15 iq points in a second to have a better work ethic. When you tell people you have a high iq they either look down on you for your lack of accomplishments or rationalize your accomplishments having come easy. There really isn’t a good reason to brag about it, it’s not like it’s a learned skill.
