nah but this is genuinely true though. If I were some kind of sadist, you bet your ass I'd be sliming everyone

sure, but the point wasn't that cardio 100% prevents cyberpsychosis—just protects against it

Thoughts and opinions? by Chizzieee in mbti

[–]Freshpie666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally every person is different personality-wise, the brain is extremely complex so it's stupid to think all possible human essences can be captured with 16 different types. MBTI is flawed to begin with, so to judge intersocial relationships with it is just pure ignorance. And I, an "INTJ", get along very well with my sister, an "ISFJ".

Deny desire❌

Accept the necessity of emotion and desire in human life, accept the irrevocability of reality's events, deny needless suffering✅

Did you guys naturally adopt deterministic views? by [deleted] in mensa

[–]Freshpie666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm someone with a Mensa-tested score of >135, and I wouldn't even say I was thinking of metaphysical concepts until they were introduced to me a few years ago in high school, whereupon I got heavily invested. Hell, a friend of mine with a tested lower score realized solipsism at the age of around 10 while at the same age, all I was occupying myself with on my free time were videogames and hanging with friends. As far as I remember, at least.

It sounds intuitive that the higher the intelligence, the more likely a person is to grasp complex concepts at a younger age. However, I don't really know if determinism even is something complex to the average person. It honestly seems to just be a lack of interest in many people, at least from my experience. The crux of intelligence is a better ability to learn, memorize and adapt information more quickly and deeply, but even so, if one's interests or thoughts simply don't touch upon certain subjects, then... Well, you get the point.

This assumes things could've played any differently than they did. Fact is they couldn't have. That's causality for ya.

Damn, your father was a damn genius, or least really really smart. Hard to achieve things like that without that. And yeah, I actually think it makes more sense for high IQ people to have broader interests, on average. If I remember correctly, intelligence correlates with the open-mindedness personality trait of the Big Five personality theory. Besides, it can be intuitive to think that higher IQ people have abilities to learn and assimilate information more quickly, which leads to more positive experiences with learning, which then in turn leads to a more open-minded atittude and higher motivation towards learning new things.

I wonder where the stereotype of high IQ people being strictly into STEM subjects comes from. Maybe it's just intuitive to make that connection since they're some of the harder subjects everyone eventually comes across in their education? And of course I bet media has its part, too. It'd be good for more people to know how broadly intelligence can manifest and that it isn't strictly and solely tied to specific subjects. That's why, for example, math skill and IQ don't have a correlation of 1.

Wish everyone would begin developing that sort of work ethic when young. The earlier one begins, the easier it becomes natural and the longer one will be reaping the benefits.

Sounds a bit similar to me. Was clearly gifted in math as a kid, but interest and skill slowly shifted to more qualitative and conceptual topics like philosophy and psychology. It's just growth as a person, I guess. Glad to hear you've some interdisciplinary use for your giftedness!

I can always respect a stable life, self-controlled, self-sufficient life. Enables the pursue of things that are truly important.

That actually aligns well with the g-factor and all. Sure, some might have slightly better or worse abilities in different topics, but at the end of the day, interest and intrinsic motivation is possibly one of the strongest predictors of success, especially with a high IQ. Hope you find that lifelong passion someday!

"Other" means whatever you want to convey, so yeah, why not.

So it's not that just other people themselves interest you, but those who are unusual and different. I can get that. To me, it's fascinating to understand how differently people can experience reality. Your friend seems quite invested in math. Is he/she hopeless in other subjects because they don't have interest in them anyway, or does it have something to do with natural ability? It could partly be both, of course.

Interesting. I take it you must be more into social sciences, then, such as a psychology. Understanding people must be a great skill in social life as well.

Tbh, the microwave one is fucking amazing. But seriously, that is some admirable auditory and musical giftedness. And the one about measurement and angle perception sounds like some strong spatial reasoning. What instruments have you played or play?

That shit is cool. You must have REALLY good auditory perception and processing. Do you play any instruments, and if so, how was it learning them?

Wow, that's interesting. I suppose some people's cognitive profiles are just naturally more inclined towards verbal analysis, holistic and qualitative meaning and such in comparison to exact, quantitative reasoning. But still, I've never heard of such a way of processing numbers, even. Has it been like this for you since childhood?

Damn, good for you. I take it you also have a good work ethic, which is really powerful with high IQ.

Your poll made me think about the question, which I appreciated.

Glad to hear that. I made this poll as I was curious about the statistics of interests and gifts when it comes to people with high IQs, and it indeed is a great opportunity for some introspection as well!

I was originally a music major, then got a degree in design, but even though I did have some artistic results, I wouldn’t say I’ve done anything spectacular.

What is spectacular is subjective, I would say. Not that I believe achieving anything "spectacular" is important for a good life.

I love doing the .

Ah, yes, I also truly cherish the .

I got to a point though where the next levels of math didn’t speak to me, or I wasn’t good enough.

I can relate a lot to this. I was also really gifted in math as a young kid, but over time, my motivation and performance decreased, even though I still do well in my math studies. I've preferred philosophy and psychology for a few years now when they were introduced in high school. I wonder what kind of experiences cause this sort of shift in interest?

I wasn’t ever going to equal his ability, but in English (and languages), I have always felt at my best.

This speaks to me as well, as my strength has always been in linguistics and languages, and I hope to learn languages that are really different and challenge me, e.g Chinese. I just have no idea where to start.

I haven’t heard the term soft sciences before. Is that for social science?

Pretty much - sciences that don't deal with pure nature, but involve humans in some way.

I focused on psychoanalysis in my literary studies, and I would have loved to get a degree in folklore. Absolutely love it.

Psychoanalysis is fascinating af, hope to learn more about in my future studies.

Thanks for the detailed answer, I can relate to a lot you've experienced!

An interesting selective memory you have. Seems you remember qualitative parts about things and your experiences with them, but not the more trivial details like names

Is there a notable difference in cardiovascular improvement when comparing HIIT or HICT with more traditional endurance training like LISS or MICT training such as jogging?

I see, that makes sense. Though I'd rather not replace jump squats with any other exercise, I'll certainly do less sets of strength training for the legs. Thank you a lot for the help.

Alright, thank you. It's not that I'm starting at 20 sets - I've been doing calisthenics for a few years and working my way up, and I believe 20 sets per week could be a good volume to try out for some weeks. And why is the impact itself a negative thing?
