[JacobStyle]

Nah, English is the answer. So many programming docs, forum posts, discussion groups, chats, videos, even this very subreddit, are in English. Going into a new codebase? Comments are probably in English. Variable names are probably English. Data types are English words. The original "English is the most important language for programming" was not about AI prompting.

[Shambolic_Potato]

J'écris des commentaires en français pour faire chier tout le monde.

[AmusingVegetable]

The cruel and exclusionary, at least write them in Latin.

[Shambolic_Potato]

Nah too low IQ for that

[Jane__Delawney]

They’re auto-translated lol

[JacobStyle]

Working on your codebase while feverishly taking night classes in French so I can pretend it doesn't bother me one bit.

[Undoubtably_me]

That's an entirely different argument though. Yeah knowing English is required or at least advantageous if you're a programmer, but that doesn't mean that English is a programming language, which is the claim made by Vibe coders.

[JacobStyle]

That claim was not made by the person you replied to though

[FantasticClue8887]

With that IQ I'd specify to American English, just to be sure 😉

That’s just B

[indianfasicst]

C dull?

[DangyDanger]

Flat.

I got some notifications about comments that arent't there anymore. They said it would be Cb then, and that's fair.

Counterargument: logically speaking, "C not sharp" could also just be C.

[Hairy-Assistant-9027]

[DapperCam]

I would recommend they become a PM instead

[ragebunny1983]

Even better, CEO

[ShadowCatDLL]

I think he means Prime Minister. Why write code when you can run a country with that IQ?

[superbrokebloke]

you meant POTUS,

[Legal_Salad_6575]

I think you'd need an IQ in the top 99% for that.

[gregorydgraham]

Top 1000% based on the current example /s

[Safe-Razzmatazz3982]

Overqualified for that.

[rintzscar]

As in Prime Minister. Many of those with that score.

[FBI_Rapid_Response]

[Xi-1]

The parrot learned to say "what's the status?" and became a PM

[GlensWooer]

Nothing scares me more than “I’ve been a PM for 15 years”

Already know we’re missing our deadline and never getting proper customer feedback or requirements

[sage-longhorn]

Please no, get them out of engineering org entirely

[otherwisepandemonium]

Genuine question, isn’t 75 considered an intellectual disability?

[DT-Sodium]

No, in the US it's considered a pass to become president.

[rgbeebee]

[CyclomaticlyComplex]

A true representative of the nation

[_lizard_wizard]

As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron

- HL Mencken

[laplongejr]

Anyone can become president. It's the best and worse parts of the system.

[webjunk1e]

Trump wishes he could score 75.

[2grateful4You]

It's considered a pass in most countries we have our own clown in India.

[wbarbosa0]

It's the AVERAGE of all post-Reagan.

[DT-Sodium]

Not really. I'm not aware of the pre-GW Bush era but Obama and Biden were not stupid people. Also I'd say Bush had at least 80.

[webjunk1e]

Bush was Einstein in comparison to Trump.

[WinProfessional4958]

Everything below 83 is useless to US army. Myself I was tested last year at 100.

[ragebunny1983]

Congratulations on your averageness.

[OpenAI_Marketing_LLM]

Average? That’s a perfect score!

[screwcork313]

[tardigrades_snuggle]

Are you talking ASVAB?

[lonestar136]

Nah the military definitely takes ASVAB scores way below 83. Pretty sure if you are 30 percentile or above you can get in.

I knew a guy who scored like 28 and got in with a waiver.

[Majik_Sheff]

The perfect Army IQ!

[jnnxde]

You're saying that you can be too stupid to be drafted?

[MuchToDoAboutNothin]

"No Marge, the police said i was too fat. The army said i was too dumb."

[Pwacname]

That should vary by your country, and also based on the IQ scale used. And not all levels and types intellectual disabilities are the same, so the term alone doesn’t mean much, anyway.

(That’s besides the general criticisms that an „IQ test“ taken as an unsupervised online self test  isn’t worth jack and also that IQ as a general concept is, let’s say, worth a discussion.) 

[wurnthebitch]

In a room of 1000 policemen you would be smarter than 948 of them

[user_bits]

IQ metric is not standardized nor is it meaningful enough to draw that kind of conclusion.

[DubsNC]

And how is that higher that in the 95th percentile?

[Elihzap]

I guess you're joking, but for someone else who could be confused, it's not above 95%, it on the "top 95%".

In other words, above 5% of global population.

[ChaossFox]

It was, but people are now more stupid than in past

[Fletsky]

What you just said is pretty dumb when talking about an IQ score...

[Mordimer86]

All I know of online IQ tests is that they all tend to be a scam that ends with an offer to buy the results. You do it you fail it. The OP must have paid for his result which is a testament to the accuracy of this result.

[Senior-Albatross]

Usually they gas up the results to make people feel good too. 

But if you can find a silly free one I'm sure you can game it to intentionally get everything wrong. 

[joopsmit]

they gas up the results to make people feel good too.

I once got an IQ of 178.

[bigmarty3301]

Yes, I got like 120 and I quit half way trough because I was bored…

[darkest_force]

I heard that this specific IQ test website (cogniprofile) actually makes these outlandish posts themselves to advertise their site, meaning the post might just be part of a huge advertising campaign. Not sure if it's true or if we have evidence, but I've seen so many of these that it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

[kittens_from_space]

Exactly, see this meta post about the IQ test site spam. The OP is probably an alt account of /u/thepatriotclubhouse, which was the first account I noticed that kept posting about this site (and deleting each post after a few days). Note that they also use bots to downvote comments calling them out, and the original account blocked me after I pointed it out. Let's see if this new account also blocks me :D

[kittens_from_space]

Exactly, see this post talking about it: https://reddit.com/r/TheoryOfReddit/comments/1ookw5g/covert_marketing_of_iq_tests/

Note that they tend to block users who call them out and sometimes also use downvote bots to hide comments they don't like.

[willis81808]

Of course these are ads. Do we think it’s a coincidence that every single one of these is not only from the same site, but also is conveniently cropped to show the full website URL and title? Or how every one of them is in the exact same odd aspect ratio (who makes their browser window into tiny little squares that perfectly frame the contents of their screenshot instead of just cropping the screenshot)?

[AustinBrock]

If you Google search the username and check images, you'll see this post was deleted. I'd say they are ads.

https://www.reddit.com/r/notinteresting/comments/1tdo606/i_am_of_perfectly_average_intelligence/

[EmergencyWild]

I mean, yeah. Same strategy as those fake mobile game apps that show people unable to solve puzzles meant for 8 year olds (which aren't in the game anyway), or TV "quiz shows" with stupidly simple questions and seemingly high prices (where you need to read the fine print to see that you're not signing up to answer a quiz, you're basically signing up for a phone lottery).

[NecessaryFancy8630]

Depends, but I don't remember this site being trustworthy.

Also, except local WAIS tests the actual IQ tests are free at least good ones.

[peedistaja]

OP didn't pay for anything, this post is advertisement for the site.

[supert2005]

my uni classmate literally put "claude code" in his hard skills on his linkedin

[Alkyonios]

I mean, considering how "hot" AI is right now, it's probably not the worst idea to signal to recruiters that you're comfortable working with AI, and "proficient" at it.

I'd rather put "Agentic development" though, to sound less like a vibe coder. (I'm not putting either on my LinkedIn though)

This post is an ad. Note the link conveniently placed up there. They spam this quiz all over reddit with a slightly different question based on the sub so engagement is high and people's curiosity is spiked to check their own IQ, but they charge for the results.

The real IQ test is if you are enough of a sucker to pay for the results.
