You’re playing with the Big Boys Now

they also forget that IQ tests, as far as I am aware from personal experience, are only used by actual medical professionals to test for intellectual disabilities, not as an indicator of positive intelligence. There is a correlation between IQ and success, and it certainly CAN indicate intelligence, but the correlation is very vague, and a great number of results are based off of how good a test taker the person is.

These are people who see random IQ tests on Facebook or anywhere on the internet and take them as 100% genuine

And thats about the , it has very fringe use, and what "intelligence" pretty sure a lot models involve creativity and athlethic talent an musicality which are not tested there.

@@robertallan8035 IQ today is far more a tool of white supremacy than an a measure of intellect. Ex, when I took an IQ test recently for out of morbid curiosity, I got an IQ of 187, higher than Einstein. I am not smarter than Einstein. I forget where I put my glasses, only to realize, after 15 minutes of searching, they are in front of my eyes.

@@TOH_Fan LOL "white supremacy"

After I got tested for ADHD (take a wild guess as to the results based on the fact that I'm replying to a year-old comment with a vaguely related anecdote), the IQ test portion in my file was right next to the score of an IQ test I took at the age of, like, five. The score from when I was five years old was higher. I know full well that the testing methods for children and adults are different so the scores aren't comparable, but I choose to believe that I simply got stupider because it's so funny. I don't think anything has ever made me laugh as hard as looking at those test results.

truuuuuuuue

The chicken or the egg?

i can picture a scene where a character like this just does a "Saitama vs. Deep Sea King", just makes a hole straight through a giant villain and saves the day and he immediately collapses and starts snoring i kinda want that comic/manga now lol "One Punch Man but He's Sleep-Deprived"

A lot of people fall into the "smart" trap because they're fighting so hard to not be classified as "dumb" just because they're disabled or ill. It's a whole Thing.

i mean i felt a bit called out too. bc "gifted kid burnout" is a specific thing where kids are praised not for their dedication, work ethic, or perserverance, but their ability to quickly & effortlessly understand things. so as soon as we encounter something challenging we feel like failures because we were specifically rewarded for *not feeling challenged*

@@idiotwithacomputer3470 yeah, they definitely were

also yes, i'm probably autistic as well

Yeah i absolutely feel the same way, and I do genuinely feel it appropriate calling myself pretty smart, because sometimes I make connections, notice things, or learn things in ways that would be rude or inappropriate of me to expect others to do. Like, a major part of my childhood development was literally learning that other people struggling to understand math was not them being lazy, stupid, etc, it was normal to have trouble learning sometimes, even if I didn’t know what it felt like. At the same time, I could’ve wound up like Neil Dgrasse Tyson, or these high IQ Rick and Morty fans, so I’m glad that there is some kind of pushback against acting like it’s normal to feel better than others just for learning faster or not making mistakes or whatever. Assholes are assholes no matter what Edit: okay those comments at the very end about gifted kid “burnout” were outright spiteful, what the heck. You’re telling me you understand that people are being systemically underdiagnosed, instead being lauded as “smart” for conforming to the expectations of that system, come out of the public school system struggling to function, and you wanna describe that as an issue of not developing a “real personality”? I get that anyone obsessed with making life a competition that they’re winning is an asshole, but gifted kid “burnout” is an issue of systemic ableism, and a lot of people just don’t understand why they’re suddenly going from “most likely to succeed” in the yearbook to dropping out of college or changing jobs once a year or more. If this was my first impression of these people, I’d be very distressed by that section at the end. Yikes

You need something like Cyclops' goggles to control your superpowered sensory organ. Maybe like nose plugs... or even better a plague doctor mask!

My "superpowers" are that I can hear sounds at higher frequencies than most, and I have an innate sense for when the air pressure changes. The downsides are that 1: I can hear Cat Repulsors and other similar devices when they go off, and 2: The aforementioned pressure sense manifests in the form of severe headaches.

@@thegrouchization My superpower is the ability to block the flow of air in my nostrils. This makes it so that I can’t smell, along with food becoming tasteless. It’s useful for when something smells really bad or I have to eat something I don’t like, but if I get too focused on something I instinctively close my nostrils without realizing it, leading to me forgetting to breath for a few seconds.

my superpower is being able to tell when the weather is going to change. the downside is that it's a result of chronic pain lol. maybe disabilities really are superpowers LMAO

yep my ex had this issue, and was super sensitive to headaches for cleaning products. which meant i had to do all the cleaning when they were out, which wasn't often. even then they'd complain. like i get it but we gotta clean 😢

Huh... I don't remember posting this? Yet why is it a perfect description of my life?

I feel like being a "gifted kid" left me with some pretty fucking horrid gifts

Thats the issue with gifted kid programs they only exemplify the academic traits because that's only what matters to the system, rather than balancing out the other forms of intelligence like emotional intelligence. To make things easier just think of it like min-maxing, have core strengths as well as a well-rounded set of other strengths so that nothing ends up leaving an empty spot.

@@kidkangaroo5213 I had to do my for disability testing, which if you did not know having a mental disability subtracts from the IQ after the results.

@@DragonTKzilla that's really fucked up

@@fionnarose1380 I know, just one of does things that I get use to over the years but I don’t think about it. But you are right it is really messed up.

@@DragonTKzilla I did that too and I saw that. It really sucked cause I was already at a higher college level with math, english and problem solving but cause I'm an autistic person they just put me down.

@@kidkangaroo5213 Actually thats the opposite of the dunning cruger effect, where the smarter you are, the more you know that you know nothing.

Thats wise, hard agree from other reasons, its good to be humble and learn, the world doe not evolve around you, its important to have selflove, but you arent the center of the world. yes peoples life experiences are incredibly interesting and can be daaark, or inspiring what people can go through, things that are stranger than fiction. Its worth learning from other people , unless they are really spreading toxic bs. And people are complex. And have a often unique weird history. Which is why pop psychology and speculating about people , and gossiping, is a thing in he first place. People are interesting and weird and incrediblae and sometimes just depressingly tragic. And thats just fascinating.

i dont know, i have pretty low phantasial capabilities, its hard to visualize detailed *images* im my mind. but that thing you described of staring at the wall and imagining? i still do that often cuz of my overactivr imagination and adhd. hyperphantasia isnt the same as activr imagination

Kin you take a long walk off a short pier?

Exactly what I ordered!

Hey, you should try singing Surrounded by the band The Mountain Goats. It starts out sweet, but the chorus is about death; the juxtaposition could make people uncomfortable and stop asking you. Link to the song, and full album it's from: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mdSWarqWzZ3Ugok.html

solution: learn the Beatles song “Something” and insist on singing it whenever anyone asks you “to sing something.”

the worst in my experience is when doctors ask to rate my pain and i don't know what to say because my pain scale is different from nondisabled people. it wasn't until a couple years ago that i realized most people's default is no pain.

I have an unspeakable urge to somehow prove that despite everything, Berdly is better than this, but it can't be done.

Impressive, really. 👏

The Char B1?

@@sapphicbunny7538 That's the one!

Cool Video I like it big fan bring back Addison though

You are less likely to have something accidentally lodged into your ears.

Additionally, all of my siblings are the same way. We are all exceptionally smart and exceptionally dumb in different ways.

Trump's voice (and everything else about him) is impossible to exaggerate or satirize, he's such a ridiculous parody of a human being that there's no way to go beyond how he already is. Trying to parody his voice only gets you to the most accurate impersonation.
