The issue with talking about IQ, is that nobody can´t even agree on a definition on it.

I mean IQ isn't a measure of intelligence since one can be smart in one field and "stupid" in another

i think folk who rely on IQ "levels" are in themselves flawed.

I dont mean that harshly but Im not convinced its a reliable metric.

There has been a reversion towards the mean. Lower mean. Higher volatility.

The way to determine it accurately is not through a single test not even Mensa testing - but that is a good indicator.

It comes from hours and hours of different tests from a qualified examiner/s studying you while you complete everything put in front of you.
Then you get a whole bunch of numbers and explanations.

- i corrected some of the questions which did not go down to well either. Still I was right.

No.

I would argue if you're wasting time playing games you likely have a lower than normal IQ.

Have you seen the morons on this forum as an example...?

Sure, we all tend to enjoy what we're best at, and avoid what makes us feel dumb, weak or otherwise inadequate.

As a young kid, I tried to play Commandos : Behind Enemy Lines, one of those stealth-based real-time tactics games. Couldn't get past the first few missions, so I decided it was the worst game of all times.

Dayum! Yeah, I'm in that ballpark too.

Guilty. I'm a gamer. Guilty as charged.

Lots of suspenseful moments tho. Lots of f#ck yeah moments too.

I'm sure the average Opus Magnum aficionado has a higher IQ than the average Fortniter, but I guess life can surprise you.

I'm sure the average wall-fruit has an IQ higher than the average here.

my iq is too low to be measurable
