IQ and how far you went in school don’t necessarily match up

IQ is about your ability to ha for abstract concepts and extrapolate within and between disciplines

It isn't a guarantee, of course, but there is a pretty strong correlation. Sure, there are people with 90 IQs that passed law school (though maybe not the bar), and some electricians and bartenders with IQs in the 130s.

I've got an 80 IQ but I squeeze every bit of frickin' mileage out of those 80 points. I leave nothing on the table.

The faster you think, the better the mileage.

For example, if you're in the 1st dimension you are not aware of what is happening in the 2nd dimension. Same as you being in the 2nd and not knowing what's going on in the 3rd. We got no way of understandin this world. We got about as much sense of it as a bird flyin in the sky. Now theres a whole lot that bird don't know, but the world is happenin around him just the same. What I'm tryin to say is, the course of your life is changing right in fron of you, and you don't even see it...






that's called ignorance

Did you actually compare them?

Because I feel like you didn't...

However, both of us posting on here is a statistical anomaly.

A quick wit is a better indicator of IQ than these silly tests.

This. My Uncle I would bet is near the 140 range, did not graduate middle school. He just sees the World differently, and he can do insane things despite little formal education.

He is quite well off from buying, rebuilding and reselling vehicles, mowers, etc for the last 30 years. He can break apart anything and do whatever he wants with it, and it is amazing to watch his mind at work.

IQ is not based on how much you learn in school. Though a higher IQ does greatly help you through school.

Yes, but people who are accountants likely have a higher average IQ


Ok. Still a ways away from 120.

So claiming 120 is an average for people in that field may not be all that far off.


I’ve met plenty of accountants. Hard work. Determination. Those are the words I’d use for most. I’ve rarely encountered one that I thought was bright.

What I was driving at is that you don’t need to be 120 to be an accountant. Just like you don’t to be an engineer.

Edit: Jake88 state’s what I was driving at with a good example.

You don't understand statistics and in particular standard deviation.

You're lucky that the black guy was selling a car to the sophisticated couple, or your post would have had me looking for the "dats racist" meme.

People with IQs below 91 have difficulty understanding IQ test scores.
