My grandma died ten years ago. She was cremated and buried somewhere in Florida.
She still just forwarded me this post.

I get it, this is one of those reverse colorblindness tests that only colorblind people can see. The hippo must be in an unknown color only visible by those who can’t see other colors and have more experience with that unknown color. I can’t believe I just figured it out like that.

I’ve got an IQ of ninety-six, which is good enough for me. It’s pretty high, just four points off the maximum.

It’s funny, because you literally never see people mention that they’re within a standard deviation of the average, even though that’s supposed to be 70% of the people who take the test.
tanisnikana@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I actually have no idea what my IQ is. I just say 96 cause it’s the shy side of perfectly average, and no one has any follow-up questions about that, and then the IQ conversation is fizzled out, and we can talk about more interesting things, like the guy who’s currently leaving a shit against my birch tree just outside.
Fucker better wipe my tree. >:(

I remember a few years ago, when a ton of MAGA people fell for it and payed just to brag that they are in the top 90% of the most intelligent people, not realizing that this means they are in the bottom 10%.

IQ test measures how good you are at passing IQ test :)

The first time you get tricked by this can be written off as experimentation. It’s the folks that are suckered in over and over again, and take some kind of personal pride in receiving a little “You’re Such A Smart Little Guy” certificate from a random website that have you looking sideways.

The thing I’d like news sites or other sites that use paywalls to understand is that I am not likely to sign up for a $5/$10/$15/$20+ subscription just to skim through a single article or quiz that induces a near-panic attack and then probably never return. I will literally press that little back button and go somewhere else.

On the one hand, I agree, but on the other hand, this means that the ones supported by the billionaires will have the advantage.
Not that there’s any guarantee media you pay for isn’t owned by billionaires paying more. Or just promising things to bootlickers that they might never intend on following through on.

Ya they need to allow you to read a number of articles to see if thetes any value, im not just gona drop dollars without seeing if its worth it

when I see people bragging about their high IQ it reminds me of those people who buy sports cars and then take them around to shows on a trailer with 5 miles on the odometer to talk about how it has 750 horsepower and a top speed of 300mph

An extra twist is when you then get fooled to pay $10-20 they will take the same amount once a week until you notice.

Is there even an official IQ test or does everyone just cook their own soup?

IQ is a bullshit thing anyway. It’s invented by some white guy from the 1900s who thought intelligence could be quantified and/or wanted a reason to discriminate against non-white people.

If the test says you’re very dumb: well, duh, you’re wasting your time for vain reasons online, move along; otherwise: yikes, what a waste of potential, all that grey matter and no bitches? 🤣

If anyone is bored and actually wants to take one of these just for fun - this works pretty well openpsychometrics.org/tests/FSIQ/
Did it before with a group of friends and it can be a decent way to waste some time.

You’re just getting stuck because you don’t have an IQ of 420, like the quiz said I have after watching some ads and giving them my SSN.

A true 420 IQ would hack the site find the hidden ARG read the source code decrypt the hieroglyph encrypted Gödel’s incompleteness theorem go to Antarctica to dig up a flag buried at 78.4617389°S, 106.84017637°E, fight off the secret Russian military base and then pay 19.99 BTC to continue.
