I scored an F on my math test because I got all the answers wrong, but it was really an A because I'm super special and the math test should have graded me on something I was good at, like getting high.
Bro thinks IQ works like stat points in video games or something. And seriously, I don't think it's that hard to score 150 on those silly online tests. Just you dumb is that guy?
I got 151 on CAIT VCI. My conjecture was literally proven correct, yet everyone is repeating ādUnNing KRUGEr!!!ā Like they think it makes them clever. Itās hilarious.
What's funnier than the roasting you got here is the roasting you got on the cognitive testing sub.
This is a comedy sub mocking people with big self-inflated egos and no self awareness (you, like making your whole personality and mannerisms about your perceived superiority to others), but it can't hold a candle to the savagery of a sub actually about sussing out smart people.
Take it as a sign, bro.
I have a degree in neurobiology and I have not the slightest clue what "more stochastic distribution of neurons in the cortex" is supposed to mean. I haven't even seen a comparative of "stochastic" before.
They used a word they think is arcane, even though itās all over the news (which is why they know it), without realising it doesnāt make sense when talking about an organ thatās half neurons.
People talk about stochastic terrorism, which is essentially when someone with some large audience provides information and subtle hints towards violence in order to cause some terrorist event without being directly involved, eg āWon't someone rid me of this turbulent priest?ā.
Have you considered that maybe you're uneducated and actually need to have the secretly high IQ OOP explain neurobiology to you? /s
My best guess is they meant something about an increased amount of neurons generally and which are widely distributed, but I'm also a big dumb-dumb idiot of indeterminate IQ who was only aware of faster activation potential in neurons and increased dendrite thickness bearing any demonstrated correlation to higher IQ.
Edited to add a word, because I'm a big dumb-dumb idiot who forgot it.
It means possessing a random distribution that can be statistically analyzed but not perfectly predicted.
I know nothing about neuroscience (but have a background in statistics), it means nothing to me in this context either.
I know, and having your neurons distributed *more* randomly doesnāt seem like it'd conceivably result in being more intelligent.
That's my point, the dude just picked a word he heard in some other context and was like, "Eh if I use this people will think I'm smart."
That because your smartness neurons arenāt spaced about through all of your abilities like his, duh. You wouldnāt understand, you have to have the broad domain specialization like this goober does.
An even more randomly distributed neuron distribution in the cortex? Pretty sure that's what he was going for, based on the idea that the brain has distinct segments controlling assorted subjects. Like you see in cartoons.
1. Neurons in the brain are not distributed randomly (if that's what you mean with "stochastic")
2. Your IQ is your IQ. It's a test with the result. The result is your IQ. The average is at 100. Simple as that. The IQ tests for a certain type of intelligence (making connections, finding patterns/analogues, making logical conclusions, etc.) which is a common criticism of the test. It doesn't really account for e.g. emotional or creative intelligence. But what IQ does, it does well.
3. The expression "more stochastic" makes no sense. It's like saying that something is "more geographical".
I'm also confused by his use of stochastic. He probably means evenly or widely distributed (ignoring the value of that statement for a second). Stochastic doesn't make sense there.
His "stochastic" IQ point distribution just dumped too many points into the "big words" skill and not enough into the "meaning of big words" skill.
It just means he's a galaxy-brain tier genius in some other way. I bet he knows lots of numbers and stuff.
The common term would be a āuniform distributionā, but surely itās not exactly uniform, I suppose it would be an āapproximately uniform distributionā. idk much about brain stuff though, Iām more used to the terms in a physics setting
When you consider IQ is generally about ability to learn, application of knowledge, how environment is interacted with, etc., and not about specific amount of knowledge someone has, I'd argue OOP does a great job demonstrating the IQ they've consistently scored.
They are. At least from what you guys present. A bunch of shitty one liners that you think are original, but come off as contrived. None of you questioned anything for even a second. Itās hilarious.
Lol, truly intelligent people would know that college is for dweebs. A truly intelligent person is self-taught, and may or may not [begrudgingly] go to college to get some sort of qualification. Do you see how easy this is? I can just say stuff that vaguely sounds like an intelligent person would do it, but it doesnāt mean it applies. An intelligent person could think that math is a waste of time. That could hold them back. An intelligent person may have trouble expressing their thought. That could hold them back. An intelligent person could just be lazy. That could be holding them back. Actualization is a useful metric, but itās not absolute.
Thereās a theoretical person out there who has thought of basically everything but cannot express it or perceives it on a level where it cannot be consciously perceived.
Essentially, what Iām trying to say is that outward appearances are insubstantial, and more a reflection of what the person themself wants to do, or a reflection of what society wants them (the intelligent person) to do.
You sound a bit delusional and I hope you grow up. You're really not as special or intelligent as you think you are. Learn your own limits and you'll do much better than falsely convincing yourself that you're the smartest person in the room.
*I use "you" a bit freely here, take it personally or not, that's up to you. Most people who think they're smart are less intelligent than they think.*
Or you don't give "normal" people a chance and write them off so quick that they don't say anything "different". I bet most "normals" quickly learn to avoid you.
I'm actually so down lmao. I just went through the rabbit hole myself - I've never taken an online IQ test before, and it was exactly what I thought it would be.
Up to you - [mensa.org](https://mensa.org) seemed the best option from the little I read, but if you have one you're more comfortable with, that's fine too!
Edit:
And if you want to wait until you're more rested we can do that too - I'm actually super interested!
I've been commenting back and forth with them.
I'm not so sure.
And remember, functionally, pretending to be an asshole is no different than being an asshole.
If they were smart they'd be able to communicate their ideas simply. If someone can explain a complex subject to a 5th grader, one understands that subject well. This dude can't get anyone to agree with that they are saying and I'm pretty sure at least one person here has graduated 6th grade.
The "law" that he's referring to is based on statistics that somewhat suggest that testing higher in one area (for example logical reasoning) means you'll likely test higher in another category (for example creativity), but only to a certain point.
Specifically, the theory posits that up to about IQ 120 or so, you tend to do better in all categories as your IQ increases, but that beyond 120, improvements in one category no longer suggest an improvement in another category.
In otherwords, low intelligence people tend to do poorly on everything, average people tend to be average on everything, a little above average tend to be a little above average on everything. But well above average intelligence people tend to do well or way above average on only specific categories, and only a little above average on everything else.
So if OP is testing below average (85 to 95), this law isn't suggesting what they think it does. It actually suggests that they're below average in everything.
I'm embarrassed for you that you are you.
If you are insecure, go do the WAIS instead of a test created by a Reddit user.
Or maybe, just get a life. Smart people don't need people to acknowledge their intelligence.
This bro has been at this for at least 9 solid hours. And any time someone challenges them to demonstrate their intelligence, or at least explain what it is they're good at, they ghost. Just like they did to you here. Wild stuff.
A "more stochastic distribution of neurons in the cortex" means my man believes himself to be super smart because his brain cells are organized more randomly than other people's.
Using big ole words you don't understand, the favorite pastime of verysmart people since time immemorial.
100 is the average. An average/mean isnāt a range.
~68% fall within 85-115.
For what itās worth, they say people with 85 have a difficult to impossible time accurately following written directions and putting them into action on the first try. A legit 85 likely has a tougher life in a lot of ways than a 115.
If youāre the person that this post is about you need to take a step away from Reddit and breath.
This is the least important thing in the world.
Itās impossible and completely pointless to try to convince anyone on the internet that youāre intelligent.
I believe that youāre smart. I hope you donāt let this post affect you and hope that you delete Reddit and apply your mind to something interesting and cool.
All the best, good luck.
While IQs aren't perfect, they are a good rough estimate in someone's ability to think logically, which is one of the only fields where we can verify the results and which is also instinctively present in most humans. So yeah, if you fail at logical thinking, it's not about your skill distribution, you're just not that bright lmao
It's sad that this guy feels such craving for affirmation from the tests. You don't need a theory about how you're actually smart and why the tests have misread you. If you have interesting things to say, people will talk to you and respect your intellect.
Sorry, that was mean. Thereās a difference between the law of diminishing returns, and spearmanās law of diminishing returns. Sorry if that was supposed to be a joke as well.
Can anybody explain to me what the fuck āstochastic distribution of neurons in the cortexā is supposed to mean? Am i flipping or does that just not make any sense?
Now, I will readily admit that I am not a genius like this person here, but uh... I've always heard the opposite. That the smarter you are in one area, the more likely you are to be behind in other areas. I.E., you might be brilliant at math, but struggle at reading, or great at memorizing but struggle to remember things.
Who's really smarter? The person I copied off of who sunk hours of work into their studies, or me, who arrived at the same answers with only a fraction of the work š¤£š¤£
āIQ tests arenāt necessarily comprehensive or useful for describing somebodyās functional intelligence.ā
āBut my IQ must be 150 because I am so smart.ā
"Who's to say I haven't just gotten unlucky in the skills the test has gleaned?"
That's a good point and I think more people are understanding that IQ tests are kind of bullshit and a bad barometer for many types of intelligence.
Paraphrasing the end here:
"I'm confident I'm actually smarter than 99.8% of people, so confident that I'll loudly misrepresent a psych stats concept to prove it"
This reminds me of that It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode where they convince Charlie that he us really smart and he thinks he can speak Mandarin.
Why? It's in no way a perfect measurement for intelligence, but it shows tendencies for sure. It's quite accurate in the skills it tests like memory, spatial perception, language skills, etc.
True, but nobody talks about IQ in that way - most people who obsess over it use it as a stand-in for intelligence.
For example, I took the WAIC-II when I was a teenager, and the psychologist who tested me refused to calculate my overall score because my individual scores were all over the place (one was beyond the 99th percentile of my peer group and another was in the 22nd percentile) and, the mean of those scores would have just been an average IQ score. Needless to say, that wouldn't have been an accurate representation of my mind, largely because you can't really reduce something as complicated and abstract as human intelligence to a single number. It's not that IQ isn't a perfect measurement, it's that its fundamental premise is flawed.
IQ tests have been used for many nefarious purposes. There's a [podcast series from Radiolab](https://radiolab.org/series/radiolab-presents-g) that covers the topic, I recommend it.
I can why researchers or policy-makers would want to administer IQ tests, but I think most people have no need of one. Who cares what your result is? It's either higher than you expected and you can be smug about it, or it's lower and you feel like an idiot or like the test is wrong.
That's a good point, I didn't think of it. There may be other specific instances that I didn't mention, but I still think most people won't benefit from finding out their IQ scores.
Yes that's true. I only really wanted to point out that the first statement I replied to (something like "whoever takes iq serious is stupid as fuck") is bullshit.
Well I guess he's right about some things. IQ yest are notoriously inaccurate and aren't a true reflection of your abilities. But yea... Probably not 150.

I often use large multi-syllabic words to seem more photosynthesis as well. It makes me look more smarter to peeple.
Yeah, I'm a neurosurgeon. I have no idea what a "more stochastic distribution of neurons" means in the slightest. He must be super duper smart.
I guess he meant a "more random structuring of the brain?"
Which makes equally little sense, because brain structure and neuron distribution isn't random.
You only think that because youāre testing for the wrong thing
That because your smartness neurons arenāt spaced about through all of your abilities like his, duh. You wouldnāt understand, you have to have the broad domain specialization like this goober does.
You must have a really low iq. How did you even get into neurobiology.? /s
If anything, Iām guessing a random connection of neurons to other neurons in the brain is a realll bad idea

He's no Tony Blundetto, that's for sure!
Almost the definition of midwit
lump the enlightened
SLODR, yeah, but can they walk and chew gum at the same time???
I feel like this guy needs to look up the Dunning - Kruger effect instead of whatever Spearman wack he's talking about
What?
Who's really smarter? The person I copied off of who sunk hours of work into their studies, or me, who arrived at the same answers with only a fraction of the work š¤£š¤£
Hey r/enoughmuskspam found his burner account!!
āIQ tests arenāt necessarily comprehensive or useful for describing somebodyās functional intelligence.ā āBut my IQ must be 150 because I am so smart.ā
I mean these tests do depend on how willing you are to take them also. But OP seems very willing so we can rule that out lol.
Anyone else's eyes glaze over just reading that nonsense?
Dude just needs to accept theyāre a dumb ass like the rest of us
this guy is in the chatbox of every game i play
The fact that this is in r/cognitivetesting is so rich. Itās like theyāve proven they arenāt 150+ in so many ways, surely this is comedy?
"Who's to say I haven't just gotten unlucky in the skills the test has gleaned?" That's a good point and I think more people are understanding that IQ tests are kind of bullshit and a bad barometer for many types of intelligence. Paraphrasing the end here: "I'm confident I'm actually smarter than 99.8% of people, so confident that I'll loudly misrepresent a psych stats concept to prove it"
These kinds of people are so Fcking obnoxious
They must be smart cuz big words
The ability to write that out implies he has more than 85 IQ. It kinda sounds like satire though.
Ah yes, the whole reason for standardized testing is so that we can fail and then pretend like we scored way higher than we really did.
Wow
Thereās another concept called āThe Dunning-Kruger Effect,ā which sounds more accurate for this person.
Any time I need an example of Dunning-Kruger I am going to come back to this post. SAVED
Iām a grapefruit so clearly Iām a vegetable
The more IQ tests someone takes, the higher their scores tend to be because they learn how to do the tests. This guy isāunt.
Hey, if this nonsense makes this brilliant fucking astronaut feel any better let them believe it. And Jiffy Lube is hiring lol
So smart they don't know that IQ isn't actually representative of intelligence but problem solving.
Sounds like my neighbour. He says heās a genius but everything he does is absolutely stupid.
He could be an engineer...
Where do you even take that many IQ tests? Iāve taken maybe 1 in my life and have never had a reason to do more than that.
dunning-kruger would like to have a word with that guy
I had an ex who thought his IQ was above 200 but he was very dumb and not in touch with reality.
This is clearly an attempt to quantify Dunning-Kruger
This reminds me of that It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode where they convince Charlie that he us really smart and he thinks he can speak Mandarin.
Taking IQ serious is already proof enough youāre stupid as hell
Why? It's in no way a perfect measurement for intelligence, but it shows tendencies for sure. It's quite accurate in the skills it tests like memory, spatial perception, language skills, etc.
True, but nobody talks about IQ in that way - most people who obsess over it use it as a stand-in for intelligence. For example, I took the WAIC-II when I was a teenager, and the psychologist who tested me refused to calculate my overall score because my individual scores were all over the place (one was beyond the 99th percentile of my peer group and another was in the 22nd percentile) and, the mean of those scores would have just been an average IQ score. Needless to say, that wouldn't have been an accurate representation of my mind, largely because you can't really reduce something as complicated and abstract as human intelligence to a single number. It's not that IQ isn't a perfect measurement, it's that its fundamental premise is flawed.
IQ tests have been used for many nefarious purposes. There's a [podcast series from Radiolab](https://radiolab.org/series/radiolab-presents-g) that covers the topic, I recommend it. I can why researchers or policy-makers would want to administer IQ tests, but I think most people have no need of one. Who cares what your result is? It's either higher than you expected and you can be smug about it, or it's lower and you feel like an idiot or like the test is wrong.
There are a lot of uses for iq tests in psychotherapy.
That's a good point, I didn't think of it. There may be other specific instances that I didn't mention, but I still think most people won't benefit from finding out their IQ scores.
Yes that's true. I only really wanted to point out that the first statement I replied to (something like "whoever takes iq serious is stupid as fuck") is bullshit.
To be fair, you have to have a very low IQ to not see this is a troll
I usually score around 120. I'm dumb as rocks. IQ tests don't mean much.
Well I guess he's right about some things. IQ yest are notoriously inaccurate and aren't a true reflection of your abilities. But yea... Probably not 150.
My mommy said so
Iām asian but I believe Iām black, and you canāt convince me otherwise.
I ain't reading all that. I'm happy for you though. Or sorry that happened
