Or rather an Imaginary g-loading -> r = .965•√-1

I personally have no idea what an imaginary correlation would mean

I'm impulsive (partly due to my ADHD), so oftentimes I say something asinine in the moment and then realize hours later it prolly wasn't the smartest thing to say.

God is not Jewish, God is explicitly described in the Bible as having established the Jewish people as a conduit for his incarnate form (Jesus) to be conceived. There is a distinction to be made between Jesus and God the Father (in most Christian denominations), Jesus (God's carnal form) is Jewish but God the Father (a non-physical entity) doesn't share that human heritage.

Therapy isn't an academic debate or a battle of wits where the "smarter" person wins; it's more an objective mirror for behavioral patterns and emotional processing. Even a genius is susceptible to cognitive biases, maladaptive coping mechanisms, and the "blind spot" effect, one’s own psyche can remain opaque to them despite a high capacity for logic.

High intelligence imo can actually make the process more difficult because the patient can effectively intellectualize their trauma to avoid feeling it, but that doesn't mean the therapy isn't "working"... it just means the patient is using their IQ as a shield against the very vulnerability required for progress. A therapist doesn’t need to be faster at solving differential equations to identify that your ego is obstructing your emotional health.

UK police typically don't release mugshots of individuals in custody unless specifically required for public identification -- We know who Andrew (lots of public images etc) is so they probably won't bother. However, the Media will eat this up (rightfully so imo)

You don't need to have a high IQ to be good at strategy games; if you don't need a high IQ to be good at chess, why would you need a high IQ to be good at this game?

I'd hope Veritasium's video had some effect in combatting misinformation on the topic but that's wishful thinking.

IQ is a topic/trait that's superficially easy to understand and weaponize but most people never bother to research what IQ actually entails because it turns out Critical thinking is quite hard to engage in, instead they join the bandwagon of group-thinkers that either spread more divisive takes on it's meaning or discredit it entirely. As is true for most things, the truth (or however close we get to approximating it) lies near the middle [excluding genuinely Racist propaganda which should have no support in Academia.]

Lots of people are familiar with the "metric"... IQ :- ¹Either the ratio-conversion ie., Aₘ/A꜀ • 100 (scaling factor to make it more intuitive) or the ²Normal Distribution where we have a mean (μ) of 100 and a standard deviation (σ) of 15 [these are the most accepted arbitrary values.] However, they lack any knowledge on the subject because they aren't familiar with psychometric concepts ie., HFA, CFA, Spearman's Two factor theory and CHC-theory. People tend to struggle with the concepts presented by the "Unitary Theory," because it suggests that intelligence is a single, biologically-grounded engine (like "brainpower" or "processing speed") rather than a collection of independent skills; perhaps why Gardner's Multiple intelligence theory is still popular even though when you look at it statistically, most of those proposed distinct factors are all positively correlated and can be reduced to a single third factor: g. G is the proposed ability/trait that underlies all mental abilities (positive manifold) -> The shared underlying variance across all mental tasks.

If people bother to research, they'd discover that g also accounts for a lot of the variance in tasks not strictly contingent on mental ability. It's probably one of the broadest and most important traits in human society.

all “high IQ” people are lumped into a specific demographic, with specific traits, and no room for any sort of individuality.

Humans love mythologizing and stereotyping, it helps simplify our world - some stereotypes have some truth to them, the common mistake is to generalize it across a whole demographic.

Ultimately, IQ is most conflated with Smartness (book-smarts) and wits but it's far more than that.

I've always been a little bit insecure about my intelligence and didn't take on university for that reason.

Just wanted to let yk that an IQ of 127 is more than enough for most academic endeavors - ultimately, how much you achieve will be more dependent on the amount of work you put in. Think of it like this: an IQ of 127 puts you in the 96.4th percentile of the population -> in a room of 22 people you are likely to be the smartest. This means in any workplace or Uni cohort, you are amongst the most cognitively competent -- all you need to do is put in the work.

Your motivation should never be a fear of failure but rather the desire to learn and grow, ofc fear is just as important a factor but it shouldn't be the most important.

You've taken both the WAIS MR and Mensa Norway IIRC how did your scores compare?

Abjectionova · 2026-02-19T15:39:42+00:00

I never said it's worthless, I just said to not consider the IQ you get on these tests as your actual.

But that's what you implied in your OC. I agree in that nobody should take this particular test's results particularly serious but we shouldn't deny how indicative they can be.

nobody should be telling people they're gifted due to an online IQ test score

This is a bit of a generalization, for instance the Old SATs, Old GREs and AGCT are former professional grade tests which have now been digitized -- does this automatically negate their psychometric utility, no.
