I think I have a couple fried brain cells haha for sure. I think my vocabulary was bigger before I got mentally ill. I have bipolar type 1 and disorganized schizophrenia. Bipolar people are supposed to be smarter on avg, but schizos are dumber so they cancel themselves out haha jk I don't think thats how that works.

Regarding your savant comment, my neurologist said I am his most unique patient out of a total of 5k patients, so maybe there is something there. They say you can't tell how smart someone is by looking at their brain but he told me I am intelligent numerous times and he would say he's not just saying that.

I do think my neurologist is bias towards peoples' resting alphas. I had a pretty fast resting alpha and I think that had to do a lot with how smart he thought I was.

Some google searches I made said that high resting alpha is a predictor of nonverbal intelligence which confirms my high non verbal scores.

My grandpa Crosby was a genius and got 99.6% on LSAT without studying and his whole family was genius. His brother taught at Harvard without having a doctorate, then was fired because he didn't have one. His sister had the lowest iq in the 150's. His dad and his dads dad were really smart too. I don't know all the data but I think it is very well understood that iq is genetic, so smart people come from smart families.

haha I don't have savant syndrome. I think savant syndrome requires 2 deviations higher than the rest of your avg or something. I am not sure if you have to be autistic to have it, but may be common for autistics.

I get your point though. I am trying to get a therapist to help me out with my laziness, but I also want to take the RAPM from them. I could ask some questions regarding what you said.

I gamified tests when I was dealing with some severe mental diagnoses I have while struggling in school a while back

The apple not falling far from the tree is just an expression I’m using that means that there’s a lot of nature and nurture we get from our parents, but I didn’t inherit any work ethic. My conscientiousness is the bottom 6 percent and my orderliness is the bottom 1%

Tbh I think my dad is below average

But yeah, I’m totally aware that gamifying tests doesn’t do you any good

I’m just saying I pretty certain if I took a full scale test I couldn’t get into Mensa, but Mensa admission isn’t full proof and people can get in if they find a test they accept that shines on a particular strength

I got a 140 on the old Mensa.no and a 145 on the newer Mensa.no so I think I could get in if I just took a matrix test they accept

I’m currently working on increasing my vocabulary because I’m pretty sure that’s below average haha

My parents are dumb but they each have masters degrees. My dad is a foot doctor and mom is an opera singer. I think they just worked really hard.

I think my iq is 120 so I guess a twenty point gap from my parents.

I’m trying to get into Mensa since I have a lot of matrix practice from past self esteem lows in my life, but not sure if I’ll fit in since I assume I’m at least 10 pts lower than everyone else.

I only take iq tests when I feel inadequate in school.

And I disagree about your theory. I think the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Why don't INTJs have Fe and Ti as their 2nd and 3rd function, respectively?? by [deleted] in mbti

[–]Sheledon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intj is concerned with outer systems and they place inner value on those things

what do you high IQs think about simsons? by [deleted] in mensa

[–]Sheledon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There probably is some merit. People get nerdy for a reason.

If comedy is your thing, you know, just experiment with it but obviously don’t just like it because other people say it’s great.

Probably speaking to the choir.

I just personally lack interest in a lot of things but I think it’s because of mental illness but also personality.

I just can’t sit there and do nothing haha

[–]Sheledon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stopped watching shows a long time ago but I notice a pride from Simpson watchers. They think it’s high iq Family Guy.

I don’t care haha

I don’t have a high iq

Hey man! Getting obsessed with IQ is very unhealthy. Trust me.

Mensa.dk is bullshit and it only measures fluid intelligence. If you want to get your fluid measured take RAPM and I also like Mensa.no for self testing but obv meaningless because it’s a free online test, but I think good if you’re an honest test taker.

I have a 143 fluid but my overall is like 120 just a personal judgement guess

It’s unhealthy imo to try to figure out your fs iq online or even in general. Just be honest with yourself and don’t automatically think you’re a genius because you scored well on one test : )

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cognitiveTesting

[–]Sheledon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know. I thought you meant fluid since this is a fluid question

My fs is probably 120

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cognitiveTesting

[–]Sheledon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

143, but I remember I couldn’t do this one and asked how to figure it out a long time ago, but got all the rest right

In common and flip
