The top 84% is a very strange way to phrase that figure actually.

People in the top 84% don’t want to be compared to people in the bottom 16%.
disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 4 months ago
It’s more encouraging than the 16th percentile.

So is your IQ 140+ or are you in IQ debt?

“Dude, there’s 8.2 billion people on earth. You’re part of the dumbest 1.2 billion. There’s more people smarter than you than there were people around in 2010.”

$3 worth of coffee will give you at least 2 more IQ points
$0 PDF on how to cheese IQ tests could probably give you more

You cant really to a lot of cheesing in an in person IQ test. If its online then sure.
Eheran@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Sure you can. By simply doing IQ tests and not disclosing that.

Only if you’re a coffee drinker

Translation: since your pseudoscientificly determined IQ is 85, you’re too stupid to realize that being in the top “84th percentile” means that you’re an idiot that’s in the bottom 16%
But if you give us $200 we can give you a slightly higher number so you can feel “smarter” lol

Also, that graph is way off. Standard deviation is 15 IQ points, not 40 it whatever that graph shows. 70 to 130 should be almost everyone.

It should be a lower number if they fall for it.

How much IQ do I need to buy before I get telekinesis?
yeah@feddit.uk 4 months ago
How about teleportation? Then you can deduct travel costs.
ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
I thought that was DEX not INT.

That’s not how it works. You can’t just buy money, you have to earn it

You can’t just buy money
I mean… you ever heard of lobbyists?
DesolateMood@lemm.ee 4 months ago
I’ll earn it 1 IQ at a time
slaacaa@lemmy.world 4 months ago
So, how many IQ point have you traded to earn money?

20 grand for a full 100 point boost to your IQ seems like a pretty good deal.
Like, for the price of a new car I can be smarter than Einstein and realize I probably wasted that 20 grand.

high IQ is no fun in this damned world, welcome your new anxiety and depression!

Not to mention gifted children that take coasting through school for granted because they can easily intuit the subjects there, only to run up against a wall later when much of life isn’t quite so intuitive and much of university topics requires far more rigorous practice and study than we’re used to, and suddenly we have to catch up on learning to study systematically.
I suspect much of that could be remedied by appropriately guiding and challenging “gifted” children to teach them those essential skills, but even though my school prided itself on being one of the first with such a “gifted children track”, we didn’t actually do much different than the rest, and it sucked ass because we got all the overconfidence and none of the actual assistance.
