The specific number isn't the best indicator. Like if you're 132 and your friend is 133, that doesn't mean anything. Now 15 point gaps are good indicators for intelligence comparison, anything smaller, not so much.

IQ is meaningless. And I'm not just saying this because I'm insecure about my small IQ.

IQ is the single best determinant for lifetime success, more so than race, ethnicity, education, or even social class.

IQ is literally if you have the willpower to seek out patterns or study for it.

um, nah

It is a relatively accurate potential indicator, nothing more. Don't get too wrapped up into it, it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of life.

that's because there aren't very good determinants for life success
and it's about as good as SES

you say it like it's some magic

If it were important, tests for it would be mandatory.

It is the funny thing, that makes right answer wrong, and truth to not-truth cuz fee-fees.

IQ is very important in many fields. Someone with 90 IQ will not be able to do well in physics.

>mathematics is more important in computer science than in mathematics
wat

no, computer science nerds are just even more autistic than math nerds

The graph shows intellectual balance. mathematicians have a higher math and verbal score then computer scientists.

>no, computer science nerds are just even more autistic than math nerds
from what I have seen from the compsci people, I can confirm this very, very, very much

>physicists have higher math and verbal scores than mathematicians
>also have highest average SD
reall makes you think
PHYSICS MASTER RACE

THE MOST POWERFUL MAJOR

Intelligence is not general problem solving.

i scored a 140 on the WISC when i was 9. worst thing to ever happen to me tbqh.

Why?

>philosophy
>more intelligent than
>NEUROSCIENCE
fake graph is fake

Ok. IQ is, tho.

neuroscientists aren't really that smart
