I just found out I'm a brainlet. Veeky Forums please help me

I'm afraid of this so fucking much

I've always been praised by everyone around me for being so smart (college included)

So due to this praise I always played along

But I actually feel so fucking stupid inside
It actually hurts so much that I'm probably nothing but an imposter in terms of intelligence
Deep down I KNOW that I'm a brainlet, and that I probably don't have an IQ over 110

God fucking damn people around me for spoiling me this much and me for actually believing, playing along and not being modest and honest

Fuck me

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA

Fucking saved

If you don't have anything to add to the conversation fucking gtfo to /b/. Kids...

Man WTF you are being trigger by a FUCKING NUMBER if you think of your intelligence like it can be represented by a number I can tell you that you are act like a child

...

I have a literal proven 133 IQ and am a Mensa member.

What this basically means is I have superior genes to you guys. I can advocate you shouldn't breed and should be castrated, but I can't because us smart people are oppressed, since we are such a minority.

Fuck all of you.

I only took IQ test before. But they were online IQ test. I usually get around 125. I really thought I was over 120. The real IQ test took 2.5 hours. So I think it's pretty accurate. Shit...I have never been so humbled in my life. I'm actually just average.

>tfw you clicked update and this post appeared

feeling a little lonely today?

Like you have a girlfriend

I can never tell if people shitposting about IQ are actually autistic or just trolling

>she
>trusting a female psychologist

I'm not trolling btw. I really feel shitty about this. It's like finding out you're too short to play for the NBA or something like that. I can't be a scientist if I don't have the brains for it. I still have an interest for science and math but I'm probably better off doing ordinary office jobs

was there a """"""""""""""""""""""""""""verbal"""""""""""""""""""""" part to your test

>IQ
>Matters

Mine was only 48.
May I sit with you, OP?
Have you heard of this wonderful man called...

Q1. Is you clever?
Thank you for taking part in our IQ test.
Well, Mr Dunning, your test results suggest...

No worries... Take it again next week, and it'll be 130+, or 70-. IQ tests aren't consistent individually, which is among the reasons they are supposed to be given at least a year apart. Even then, rarely will two administered IQ tests be within 15 points of each other for the same person.

Plus, they really only test very specific puzzle solving tasks and number memorization. The only thing your IQ can tell you is how good you are at IQ tests.

Psychometry is psychology. Psychology is not a science.

t. Psychologist.

What about the tests that purely test pattern recognition with objects, no numbers, no words, no letters.

Just objects rotating or shifting or moving etc.

I doubt you'd be able to complete the IQ test and get a 48 - and still be able to type.

Lest maybe there was some behavioral issue involved, and you attacked the test giver before completion.

>Lest

That's just part of the test - that goes under "puzzle solving" - visual processing. A full IQ test should also involve reciting unsequenced numbers. Still, doesn't tell you much of anything.

As an experiment (or perhaps to prove a point) IQ tests were conducted on a few hundred phone switchboards operators in the 70's. All resulted in in MENSA level IQ scores, the average being 142 (yes, even among the black females of impoverished backgrounds). Switchboard operation back then involved doing nothing but number memorization and pattern recognition, all day erry day.

Yet I somehow doubt even all of them together would get you any closer to Grand Unification Theory or even resolving caster supremacy in table top RPGs.

>resolving caster supremacy in table top RPGs.

But why is this experiment never mentioned by people? Why isn't it known?

It's fairly widely known that IQ tests are inherently flawed, incomplete, and inconsistent. There's been debates about that since there's been IQ tests. Much like lie detectors, they've simply become a popular authority, save that, at least with IQ tests, if you average out a population they at least give you somewhat predictable results.

I suppose they are also a fair gauge of actual learning difficulties, when you start scoring 60 or below, but for the most part, on an individual basis, they mean next to nothing. (Though my semi-significant other administers them regularly to separate SED from learning disabled students.)

...and sometimes they're simply a child psychology tool, to help encourage emotionally distressed children not doing well in school.

Sadly, a real intelligence test would have to involve something neurological, and even then, it wouldn't be certain, just more consistent and closer to objective. There's evidence to suggest that the number of interneuronal connections you have affects intellectual performance and creativity - but, in addition to the fact that I think the only way you could measure that thoroughly would probably kill you, it could just as well indicate you're insane.

Much like sapience, or consciousness, the definition of intelligence is currently too amorphous. All we can do is tell you how well you perform at certain tasks.

>15 yearolds on my Veeky Forums

I've never taken an actual I.Q. test, and though I don't think I'll score high, I do believe I.Q. tests still matter to some extent in regards to measuring general intelligence.

So far I think it's done a great job at determining a civilization's success.

Though individual cases might skew it's effectiveness at determining how important I.Q. tests fit into determining intelligence, generally speaking, it seems to be spot on.

We do know intelligence is genetic.

Holy fuck, you actually paid for an IQ test? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Hope you enjoyed throwing your money in the trash.

There is nothing to be gained from taking an IQ test.
