So I've just found out my IQ is 128. Which books should I read and which books are too smart for me?

So I've just found out my IQ is 128. Which books should I read and which books are too smart for me?

Nothing is too smart for anyone with IQ of 120+. (Excluding math/advanced logic obviously.)
The only real difference is speed, but "ability to comprehend" should be fairly equal -- indiscernible to the layman.

If you're the type of person who gets hung up on IQ, you probably shouldn't even bother reading. It will be wasted on you.

How did you find out?

This is something that stupid people say to make themselves feel better. General intelligence is real. IQ tests are an accurate measurement of it. Stop crying like a little bitch just because you scored low.

Psychologist tested me after I got kicked out of school.

You should read The Running Man. The protagonist has an IQ of 128 in that and a problem with authority, too. The setting and plot is laughable but you might be able to relate.

Reading won't do you any good if you adopting these sort of defeatist attitudes because of a standardized test. This true no matter how accurate they are.

I'm a certified genius, thanks.

>a person who thinks an online IQ test is valid and indicative of anything presumes to be intelligent
Comedy gold.

I was tested by a psychologist you moron.

IQ is a jewish mind control scheme

>a person failing at basic punctuation presumes to be intelligent

And your genius intellect would be better used clicking around Reddit than it would be reading.

>a person who thinks punctuation of Veeky Forums posts is indicitave of intelligence presumes to judge the intelligence of another
You're thick as shit.

Redit is full of cancerous little dullards just like you.

Does it really offend you people so much, the idea that there are people more intelligent than you out there?

Yes and no.
IQ scores are the most accurate representation of the g factor we have, but they're by no means absolute. A lot of unrelated psychological factors impact the final score too heavily. ( e.g a sleepless night before the test will make it unrepresentative)
IQ isn't a static either; at best it represents a
snapshot of your current mental processing power. Which is again heavily influenced by the way you have been using your brain the last few years.

>Excluding math/advanced logic obviously

No. I'm a math major and I'm guessing my IQ is around 128 as well. Math is a language. The smarter you are the faster you master it. I hate that old cliché that you need to be some kind of genius to understand advanced math; it needlessly intimidates people.

Were fags like Nietzsche or Heidegger smart enough for high end math and logic?

>I paid money to be told I'm smart therefore I'm smart

OP here, is everyone's IQ here 128? Jesus Christ.

I can't tell if the IQ maymay I've seen been peddled here lately is ironic or not.

Yes that's the reason why little Jamal scored 70 on his test. Because he had a rough night's sleep. You solved the mystery.

>Math is a language
>t. retarded freshman that thinks knowing a term for something is synonymous with comprehending its intrinsic structure and properties and applicability scope
Yes, skimming definitions on Simple Wikipedia articles is the best way to learn math.

>128 IQ
>Asks brainlet questions

Tep kok

>Redit is full of cancerous little dullards just like you.
Sounds like you'd for right in. I know being a certified genius carries a lot of weight over there.
>Does it really offend you people so much, the idea that there are people more intelligent than you out there?
Not at all. I'm just stating the fact that you won't get much out of reading if you use a standardized test to seriously consider your potential.

Why are you spending your time conplaining about minorities on a Tanzanian Pornographic Cartoon Enthusiast Forum if you're so smart?

I didn't pay any money. My insurance company did. Stop clutching at straws, swallow your pride, and admit your intellectual inferiority. I'm happy to say that there are rare individuals much more intelligent than even myself. The world would be a much worse place if there wasn't. And I'm happy to work with my retarded students, because moral worth isnt determined by IQ. In many cases intelligence just makes a person better at being worse. I just don't understand why some people with mediocre intellects are so arrogant. You presume that there is no one smarter than you, and when you find out there is, your response is that intelligence doesn't exist. It's so transparently a dishonest ego defense mechanism. I'm astounded that you insultingly demand that everyone buy into it to preserve your precious vanity. That isn't stupidity. That's dishonesty.

Dude,you don't actually talk like that irl?

HE'S GOING ALL OUT

>I just don't understand why some people with mediocre intellects are so arrogant
Oh the ironing

135 IQ reporting in. Tested by local Mensa chapter with WAIS-IV. Your posts are embarrassing and absolutely belong on reddit. Please, stop the histrionics and leave.

Le ebin enlightened by his own intelligence user *tips a gorillion fedoras*

He just might.

And you're just saying that because your intelligence is low and you want to make yourself feel better by pretending that intelligence is unquantifiable.

Every time someone mentions IQ there is a chorus of you idiots.

"It's just a number." "It doesn't mean anything." "If you think your high IQ matters than you're stupid just like me." "What about my feelings?"

Shut. The. Fuck. Up.

>mensa

More like memesa

Nice reading comprehension champ. 70 is two SDs below average; unless he deliberately flunked the test, such a score is low enough to imply mental retardation

That's not what I said at all though. I called it a language because that's the clearest analog that expresses its function to normies

>being this arrogant with a 128 IQ
holy mother of bait

Holy shit dude you're for real aren't you?

No in real life I'd probably just instantly categorize you as a lost cause, laugh inwardly at you, and ignore you. But here you can say what you're really thinking. I'm sorry my thoughts are too complex for you. I'll try to dumb down my language from now on.

I outscored you.

You're literally arguing that intelligence doesn't exist because the idea of anyone more intelligent than you existing offends your pride.

This thread is filled with so much blatant insecurity it makes me feel at home

Doing God's work here user.

>You presume that there is no one smarter than you, and when you find out there is, your response is that intelligence doesn't exist
No one in this thread has made this assumption. I don't know ow where you're getting it from.

are you actually autistic?

You're not talking to OP. Try to keep up.

Are you so lost in your self-indulgent lies that when you meet an honest man your first thought is that he's a liar?

Intelligence exists.

Some people are more intelligent than others.

This isn't kindergarten where we pretend that everyone is identicalbto protect your precious feelings.

Fucking deal with it.

His own crippling insecurity and loneliness mixed with a complete lack of self awareness and having been a pampered spoiled brat.

>the idea of anyone more intelligent than you existing offends your pride
Literally nobody here expressed that. Keep your strawmen in the shed. Laughing at a retard with delusions of grandeur is only natural.

holy fucking shit, dude

>If you're the type of person who gets hung up on IQ, you probably shouldn't even bother reading. It will be wasted on you.

I'm not insecure. Yours is the voice of insecurity.

>If you're the type of person who gets hung up on IQ, you probably shouldn't even bother reading. It will be wasted on you.

>hey guys. I'm very smart. here's a completely retarded question for you.
>wew lad. you're probably not very smart if you ask question like that seriously.
>b-but my mother had me tested! you're just jealous of my immense intellect.
Thsi thread is gold.

This is the kind of freakshow people paid good money to see in the past and we get to watch it unravel for free and unrestricted. What a time to be alive.

>No in real life I'd probably just instantly categorize you as a lost cause, laugh inwardly at you, and ignore you. But here you can say what you're really thinking. I'm sorry my thoughts are too complex for you. I'll try to dumb down my language from now on.
You responded to my first post in this thread user. I don't feel inferior to people with 128 IQ. I was asking because if you speak like that in real life it will only be a question of time before someone beats the shit out of you. Very few people have any disdain for people who are smarter than them, but nobody likes cocky ass people, especially if you don't have any physical strength to show for it.

I don't even mind if this is bait, I wanna see this trainwreck going full autismo mode

He quite clearly stated that treating IQ as end all be all metric is idiotic. Not that intelligence or intelligent people don't exist. Try and be more intelligent please, this is embarrassing.

Bullying this kid in highschool probably felt righteous. I would make it my duty to turn him into a sobbing pile of fat.

>wow someone in smarter than me
>I'd better insult him

Listen. You're stupid. It's okay. You can have redeeming qualities. I don't even look down on you because of your stupidity. But your lack of self-awareness, dishonesty, and arrogance frustrate me. All you have to do is admit to yourself that intelligence is real and you don't have it. Once you do that, you'll be free. You'll be free to actually learn from people smarter than you rather than crusher in their pearls like a pig. You'll be free to be friends with smart people. You'll grow and develop a lot as a person. All you have to do is admit the truth that you already know in your heart.

what snakeoil salesman sold you your intelligence test? I am genuinely curious now.

>if you don't think your iq is the sole defining aspect of yourself, you are denying the existence of intelligence
iq is real dude, but it isn't everything, and your question in op is retarded. having an iq of 130 doesn't mean you can place Greece on a map. There are 130 iq people who would never have the patience to read the Illiad, and 100 iq people who may read and understand it. If you are wondering what book you should read, "what is my iq?" is probably one of the last questions you should ask yourself.

>everyone who doesn't accept my unsubstantiated claims on faith is stupid
>I'm smart btw

God damned dude

>ITT: Veeky Forums can't stop eating babby bait

Sometimes it's just more fun to take it.

I'm not OP.

He quite clearly stated that if you have a high IQ and recognize it as a valid measure of intelligence then you won't get anything out of literature despite high verbal IQ being a measure of your ability to get things out of literature. This is a total denial of IQ as a metric of what it actually measures, and is the same as saying that intelligence doesn't exist. I bet you're one of those dolts who says, "Theres no such thing as good or bad writing, its all just opinion maaan."

I've never been bullied. Luckily high IQ correlates with physical attractiveness and athletic ability. Cool stereotype you have there though, you utter faggot.

You're not speaking to OP. I'm the only one in this thread who actually answered his question with a book recommendation instead of attacking him out of personal insecurity for having had an IQ test. And my IQ is higher than 130.

You know, this is only half-bait. This weirdo may present himself like a major turboautist but by Jove, you can tell there's some truth behind the spergout

>don't get hung up on IQ
>total denial of IQ as a metric
Come on now, you're slipping. This isn't how you bait. Don't drag yourself down in factual stuff, just spout pompous walls of pretentious tripe. Don't kill a fun thread by being to dumb to be contrarian.

But the premise is fucking stupid. There are hundreds of thousands of books, at least hundreds worth reading, stating that you have an iq of 128 doesn't narrow it down one bit.

>OP mentions IQ in passing
>idiot seizes on it to deny validity of IQ
>high IQ individual defends validity of IQ
>IQ-denying idiots swarm with "why u so mad much autismo lol so funny but wat if u r dum dum 4 thinkin IQ matter lol"

You can smell the stink of B students in this thread.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

TIP THAT FEDORA ASAP

>>OP mentions IQ in passing
oh niggy, this isn't even bait at this point

>e.g a sleepless night before the test will make it unrepresentative
not if I always have sleepless nights

>OP mentions IQ in passing
Nigga did you even read the op?

>OP mentions IQ in passing
It's literally the core premise of his post and whole thread.
>idiot seizes on it to deny validity of IQ
Nobody did. Take your shitty bait and babby strawmanning back to your brainlet board, please.

All boards are brainlet boards user.

yes, you fool, nobody denies that intelligence exists, but it's certainly more complex than a linear measurement based on recognizing perpendicular shapes can express.

the reason everyone here thinks your an idiot is that you never bothered to investigated this beyond .png images. Back to /pol/

You're in the presence of an honest to God genius and the only thing you'll do is accuse him of baiting and having Asperger's because he has little patience for your cult of mediocrity. If you were smarter you'd be less concerned with saving face and more interested in actually learning something.

There are no stupid questions, only stupid people. Part of being intelligent is containing the minds of others within one's own mind. I could tell what OP was getting at even if he didn't express his query perfectly, which is how I was the only one able to provide a response, while everyone else got caught up on their emotions. OP is obviously a very intelligent person and feels like he doesn't fit in with society because of that. There's nothing wrong with that feeling. It's accurate to a degree. He wanted a book that he could relate to and I suggested one with themes reflective of the interests latent in his post even though I didn't personally enjoy the book. The main character having the exact same IQ as OP is just gravy. Hopefully OP gets a lick out of the power fantasy and it gets him out of his slump and ready to engage with the world.

Yes retard, this is how you learn a language.
My god has Veeky Forums gone down a tier or two...

A brief mention of IQ in one sentence. If you deny IQ you could have just shrugged it off and answered his question anyway. You didn't. You seized on it and failed to address his actual needs.

Saying that if one considers IQ a valid measurement of general intelligence that they have nothing to gain from reading literature is straight up retarded and you should feel ashamed for defending that statement. You attempted to "flip the script on itself" and failed, and your goddamn pride won't let you admit it.

Heh.
Was gonna put some fuel on the fire and watch the brainlets sperg out, but I'll keep it short and more honest. Just read whatever doesn’t bore you, and don't read stuff just for the sake of some smarty pants reading it. If you can, learn a skill, or you’ll end up like an useless walking encyclopedia like me. What even interests you? Fiction or non-fiction? What fields if non-fiction?

Anyway good luck with your brainpower, if it is as high as that it is possible you’re gonna get bored a lot and have more trouble in education. Not everyone does that, but that’s the lore.

Try having some fun too with that intelligence.

>You're in the presence of an honest to God Nigerian prince
>If you were smarter you'd be less concerned with saving face and more interested in actually becoming a multi-billionaire nobility
Weak.

>There are no stupid questions, only stupid people. Part of being intelligent is containing the minds of others within one's own mind.
You should avoid deliberately trying to sound profound when larping as an intelligent person. This drivel is rather sill, very obvious and utterly hilarious.
>OP is obviously a very intelligent person
No, it's not obvious in any way. Again your baiting skills are subpar and disappointing. Try harder.

Anyone with an IQ score of 128 is obviously very intelligent. That's what the number is. A red flag.

Not really a fan of genre fiction, though. I guess I should've mentioned that earlier. Seeing as how only women and homos like that shit. I guess I've always enjoyed reading about men doing men shit like dying for something (things women can't understand), but the longest thing like that have been long articles, not books. I like fantasy in video games, but who the fuck seriously wants to read a thousand pages long book about homos and women swinging swords and slinging spells?

>A brief mention of IQ in one sentence.
If you ignore iq his question is literally "Which books should I read?"

>anything said on the internet is obviously true

>I hate that old cliché that you need to be some kind of genius to understand advanced math; it needlessly intimidates people.
My point was really advanced Spatial intelligence, able to solve complex math equations in your head; advanced Calculus and shit.
Nor was the point about understanding math, but doing it on a high level.

This board exists to answer that question. I'm sorry that his attempt to communicate the level of his reading ability and intellect using a simple and accurate number twisted your panties so bad.

Once again, a man who cannot be honest with himself assumes that everyone he meets is a liar.

Thanks for reminding me why I still come to this shithole

>I'm sorry that his attempt to communicate the level of his reading ability and intellect using a simple and accurate number twisted your panties so bad.
I will disregard the debate of whether or not iq is a accurate metric for intelligence, I will admit I do not know enough about the matter.
However, I refuse to believe iq is an accurate metric for reading ability. There is probably some correlation, but no iq test tests your comprehension of high literature.
>This board exists to answer that question.
Yeah, and I would be happy to give op some recommendations, I could look completely past the fact that he thought having a high iq was the most important factor in his choice of books, had he provided some other relevant information, like what languages he spoke, what books he had already read, or tried to read, how long his attention span was, etc.

...

128 IQ is brainlet tier OP. You'll do great in Academia.

I just want to say that the autism in this thread has been outstanding, and I hope the fedora enlightened by his own intelligence has an epiphany one day and learns not to validate his entire existence based off of the number on his IQ test.

I hope that you one day stop perceiving everyone smarter than you as a threat to your ego.

That didn't even make any sense. Just stop trying, Nigel, you're already dead.

Is your armor any good if I can open a door in the back of your head, reach in and fuck with all the dials then close the door again without you even noticing?

I feel so powerless looking at this screen
I feel like it steels my breath away

>skimming a spanish to english dictionary is the best way to learn spanish
literally what

This thread has nothing to do with literature and OP knew that he would get no literature related responses.

they probably thought you were retarded

the autism test is up next for you

I too watch rick and morty

yes

because he had a rough night with jamal, obviously
