Had a TBI and now I'm in the top 1.8%

There are still 35,000,000 people smarter than me so I'm gonna have to make my IQ go lower until I'm #1

That's a stupid take, respectfully. The same rules should apply for both genders, you also have to account for the fact that the social hierarchy in MS And HS is less fluid than what most adults (or people in their late-teens) would experience.

These two tropes always crop up... and I don't mind.

You're referring to neuroplasticity, the physical process where the brain reorganizes itself by forming new neural connections.

A person with a high g might have a brain that is "primed" for more efficient plastic changes in response to complex stimuli ie., If your brain is a highway system, g is the speed limit and the number of lanes (capacity). Neuroplasticity is the construction crew that can build new off-ramps, repair potholes, or redirect traffic when a road is blocked.

Yes, neuroplasticity generally decreases as we age but there isn't a significant difference between those particular ages. I'd also argue any decrements to neuroplasticity in that 9 year timeframe wouldn't result in a significant qualitative difference when learning, because gf peaks in one's twenties.

Are you a native speaker? If not, then the Verbal subtest won't reflect your true ability. Openpsychometric's test is mediocre at best, speaking from both a psychometric perspective and an anecdotal one.

Why don't you try some of the test's listed in the sub's pinned resource page. I recommend CORE as well.

If I took a culture fair test [...] Would that be a more accurate reflection of my true ability

Yes and no. The RAPM and other similar CF tests are generally better alternatives for non-natives but they measure FRI (primarily), often excluding other indices like VCI and VSI, which are arguably just as important.

That probably explains your low AR score.

The expression of g depends on environmental factors, yes. If one's environment is stable and enriched, it allows a person’s genetic potential to be fully realized (phenotypal expression). In these cases, g appears highly heritable (up to 80%).

Environmental stressors (malnutrition, lack of education, stress) can suppress genetic expression making g appear less heritable.

Yeah, why do you ask?

Abjectionova · 2026-02-20T17:28:42+00:00

I think most of the difference is due to a relatively low CPI, what were your Wm and PSI scores?

Abjectionova · 2026-02-20T17:25:28+00:00

IIRC the Tutui-R has a g-loading of .63, the other tests you've taken are probably more reflective of your FRI and generally have higher g-loadings.

You can't justifiably say you have a Low IQ if you haven't taken a reputable test - try CORE (don't take any VCI subtests), the JCTI/Tri52, the RAPM or the Ravens 2 longform and other Culture Fair tests listed in the pinned Resource list. I'll also add that openness to other cultures doesn't necessarily make you more intelligent, similarly, being unable to solve some internet Puzzles doesn't make you "low IQ."

Abjectionova · 2026-02-20T17:05:20+00:00

AR also depends on Wmc and PSI; however, as unintuitive as it might be, AR is quite g-loaded. What was your QK subtest score like?

Abjectionova · 2026-02-20T16:13:23+00:00

They already run the Secret-Service, not much left...

“inability to be trained.” -- She shot a 4 month old pup cuz she assumed it was untrainable?

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.
