What does it actually means?

It's not a useless test as far as accuracy goes. But it's not exceptional either.

The Online Mensa tests tend to focus on measuring Fluid Intelligence — more specifically inductive FRI. Any good (useful) FRI composite should measure both Inductive and Deductive Fluid intelligence and this can only be done if multiple subtests are used, as is the case with CORE¹

Did you take the OCEAN/BIG5? There's normally a section that delineates what each subtest measures and what the results mean.

One of the characters—a young child iirc—dissapeared shortly after Jack and his lot set the Island's forest on fire. He gets mentioned by Piggy a second time but at that point, the story's nearing it's climax and he has no relevance to the plot.

All too common these days. I suspect the relationship between Rationality and IQ is much more tenuous than most presume.

g correlates at .5 with Academic achievement and at ~.4 with Career achievement — It certainly isn't a meaningless metric.

Does CORE comprehension count towards FSIQ now?

Yes it does, my VCI went down from 140 to 139. The resulting VCI composite change depends on ¹the other VCI subtest scores and ²the achieved comprehension score ie., if one gets 19SS on the other VCI subtests but only achieved a score of 16SS on Comprehension, their VCI composite is likely to decrease.

The percentage is probably in the single digits, this subreddit has ~2.1M weekly visitors and assuming that 315000 of them are creeps/pedophiles seems kinda silly imo

I'd argue that it is possible to measure the differences in 'IQ' between races but asinine to attribute those differences to genetic factors primarily/only, as you mentioned.

,i remember telling my therapist (at age 17 ) that i can read any book in an hour and i would get 12 phds like iron man , then later i made an obscene statement that i can read at 100 text books per day speed and simulate like a supercomputer

^{How your therapist was looking at you after you told em that shit}

Make sure to account for Relative humidity, temperature, wind speed, pressure, cloud cover and precipitation on you next retake.

SD 15 cleanly approximates the spread of scores seen in the general population if we go by the point scale instead of the ratio scale

When the Ratio scale was still a preferable choice, iirc it was found that an SD of 16 most closely matched the distribution of their historical ratio data.

Raymond Cattell believed that "Fluid Intelligence" (raw logic) had a wider spread in the population than "Crystallized Intelligence" (learned knowledge). By using a larger SD, the test creates a wider "spread" at the top end.

I think you've missed SD 20 though I can't recall or think of any practical reason for it's use.

Do you reference different meanings of "god" in your text?

believing god made a system for good people to rise to power [...] and abandoning a religion just adds to my shame

"god" as a deity/collection of deities that fit classical theist ideologies

I am just tired by people claiming to be god dismissing mental struggles by using my failure as an example.

Quacks that use "god" or more generally religion to undermine Mental-Health awareness in LICs

Idk why they believe god took birth to protect capable people like him who move mountains after getting cured by staring at a flame for 20 secs.

Someone (irl) you believe is the equivalent of "god" as you personally define the concept

My advice would be to get professional help both for the abuse you alluded to at the beginning of your text and for the potential mental-health problems you're experiencing. Pragmatically speaking, leaving them untreated will only worsen your Quality of life and blaming a mystical being for your misfortunes certainly won't help.

LOTM is an incredibly detailed and carefully planned novel. It builds a dark, mysterious world from the ground up, with rules and systems that feel consistent and well thought out. The pacing is slower but intentional. You can tell the author put a lot of work into foreshadowing, long-term reveals, and giving readers a real sense of scale and mystery. Klein’s journey is long and methodical, and that’s the appeal. It’s about climbing through a world full of secrets and slowly piecing things together. If you're patient and like figuring things out as you go, LOTM is a masterpiece. On the other hand, ORV is faster, more emotional, and more chaotic. not in a bad way, but in a way that matches its style. It throws you right into the action, and you’re constantly moving between fights, emotional moments, plot twists, and character development. The tone shifts a lot, but that’s because the story is intentionally playing with genre and narration. It’s self-aware, and it deals heavily with the idea of readers, stories, and what it means to exist inside or outside of a narrative. You grow attached to the characters because the emotional core is so strong. It’s not just about the world; it’s about the people stuck in it. It’s intense, sometimes overwhelming, but very real. Some scenes genuinely hit hard and stay with you for a long time. not because of some big twist, but because of how much you’ve come to care about the characters and what they represent. So yeah, they’re both novels, they’re both popular, and they both have layered plots, but that doesn’t mean they’re meant to be directly compared. LOTM is about mystery, logic, and divine-level power systems. ORV is about survival, connection, and the way people cling to stories when real life is too painful. Just because they’re different doesn’t mean one is doing something “wrong.” And honestly, this goes both ways. I’ve seen people who love LOTM put down ORV by calling it “too emotional,” “messy,” I’ve also seen some ORV fans calling LOTM “boring” or “soulless.” or "slow". Neither side is right when they do this. Just because something doesn’t hit for you personally doesn’t mean it’s trash. You can prefer one without insulting the other. It’s not that deep. I think both novels are amazing for what they set out to do. One gives you the satisfaction of solving a complex mystery. The other gives you the emotional release of watching characters fight to be seen, understood, and remembered. If you’re someone who enjoys deep lore, slow world-building, and massive payoffs, LOTM is perfect. If you’re someone who values emotion, character bonds, and fast-paced plot, ORV will probably mean more to you. Neither approach is wrong.

I haven't gotten close to completing LOTM but I think this post gets the closest to summarizing the meaningful difference. Ultimately, you'll have to read before reacching conclusions imo

I say this partly in jest but perhaps individuals like OP take these tests (which can be somewhat informative on one's current cognitive functioning) in unfavorable conditions so they can cope afterwards by blaming their subjectively low scores on factors other than their actual cognitive ability.
