I have double-digit IQ. I’m like Apollo 11 computer — 4kb RAM, but I’m a legend. You’re like a windows vista laptop — technically smarter but no one gives a fuck.

I think this is a measurement error because IQ measures how intelligent you appear to be - it's literally designed to align with the opinion of your peers. Despite or due to Asperger's, you seem like a very intelligent person, so the test should rate you really high.

Although I only know you from a couple hundred paragraphs of text over the internet, so really who am I to judge.

Isn't the IQ measured in tripple digits?

Scale of 0 to 200?

@Floydimus Yeah, and 100 is the average.

@lbfalvy which means having double digit IQ is considering the person below average?

@Floydimus Below the average of their age group and either humanity or their country depending on the type of test.

Usually humanity, because even though localized tests generate fewer anomalies, nowadays it's likely that you might want to flaunt your score internationally.

...I mean apply to a job abroad or sth, obviously.

@lbfalvy why would someone play that card?

Unless they are losing a logical argument and using it as a wild card to defend themselves?

I don't see any other reason to bring up one's own IQ as a form of measurement.

@Floydimus Besides being a prude version of dick measuring contests, it can be used to convince a prospective employer or school that even though you have no demonstrable achievements, you're at least measurably considered very smart by your peers.

"It's lonely isn't it"
"It's not that bad"
"Then you're not *that* smart"

One of the best lines in TV.

This info about kiki humanized him in my mind, and created feelings of fellowship and compassion.

He comes across as an asshole sometimes, but now I am willing to love him, regardless. It's a good thing imo.

@ostream I've always wanted to know what the actual psych metrics are. By description, IQ sounds like measuring code complexity by the amount of time it takes for devs to understand it.

I think we need to provide you with a devinsult platform...

@lbfalvy he is not woman irl btw, dont simp.

IQ tests are accurate for lower scores, not higher ones. They were designed to learn f students have learning difficulties.

@aviophile I know, I'm just being nice to someone I hold in high esteem. Awfully sad that's considered simping by default, isn't it?
