@AlexRigoV @axel_pond So if these people want to know their IQ they can just have an IQ test and stop assuming this stupid math centrism trope is valid.

[DollyPraxton @DollyPraxton]

@AlexRigoV @axel_pond Suck maybe was a big word. Maths centrism in IQ is an above average mid person misconception. People are great at maths, love it and assume their IQ is off the charts. Genius IQ profiles who don’t care about maths, never practice it exist more than you think.

[DollyPraxton @DollyPraxton]

@doomsdayslam @axel_pond Yes I do. Keep believing bs if it makes you happy.

[DollyPraxton @DollyPraxton]

@PaupersWeight @axel_pond They can not like it, never do maths in their personal or professional life and still ace the IQ test.

[DollyPraxton @DollyPraxton]

@PaupersWeight @axel_pond I presume you know an IQ test also includes a strong verbal intelligence component. My error was saying « suck » at maths I guess. You’ll go through the questions even if you don’t like maths because you’ll still have the innate logic and capacity for abstraction

[DollyPraxton @DollyPraxton]

@PaupersWeight @axel_pond Well this is more difficult. You don’t test it just like that, you’ll have an intuition of it and it might be false and biased by your own biases. You’re not a walking IQ tester. But I’ll say in general if you have a high IQ you’ll be better at estimating others.

[DollyPraxton @DollyPraxton]

@PaupersWeight @axel_pond I’m talking about the general simplistic idea that you need to be next to a math genius to have a high IQ. You can not like maths and still the set of questions won’t be that hard because it won’t be maths levels like Polytechnique or whatever.

[DollyPraxton @DollyPraxton]

@PaupersWeight @axel_pond Sure but it’s also an inclination thing : some profiles just don’t like maths and won’t be maths geniuses and still have a very high IQ. Some other more math inclined profile can have a lower IQ than the 1st. Suck was probably a big word but an IQ test is not solely a math test

[DollyPraxton @DollyPraxton]

@PaupersWeight @axel_pond And no that’s not cope… I come from a family of very high IQs with a variety of profiles, if you really think maths is the key representation of IQ you’ve never been around a lot of very high IQ people.

[DollyPraxton @DollyPraxton]

@thewooga @axel_pond Basic yes. That’s the word. You don’t need to be fond of it.

[DollyPraxton @DollyPraxton]

@MeganTStevenson Because academics are not a mesure of IQ, maybe ? It’s 2026 and people still think that ? Wow.

[DollyPraxton @DollyPraxton]

@cj_not_jc @Hitchslap1 @iqviajq Physics is probably the exception yes. But you don’t need 150 either. 120 maybe.

[DollyPraxton @DollyPraxton]

@insultduck @J_C_A__ You’re deeply repulsive. Probably deeply shallow and uninteresting. Your wife is also probably as stupid as you are so, whatever.

[DollyPraxton @DollyPraxton]

@Donkeyhead6 @Hitchslap1 @iqviajq I don’t disagree with the first point. I’m just pointing the specific point that iq correlation with academics has its limits.

[DollyPraxton @DollyPraxton]

@Donkeyhead6 @Hitchslap1 @iqviajq Yes, so

[DollyPraxton @DollyPraxton]

@Hitchslap1 @iqviajq Anyone with an IQ of 105 can achieve a PHD so academics doesn’t mean much, just means you don’t have a low IQ.

[DollyPraxton @DollyPraxton]

@EleonoraFall 135 is not « very high », it’s high, and anyone who thinks gifted and super gifted kids all end up in high positions suffers from typical midwitery. Obviously this world was not made for geniuses to succeed and no one takes in account the comorbidities of super high IQ.
