Look. I don't like the slightly arrogant thing woven into what I'm about to say, but something I saw reminded me of the whole "high IQs are better than you" and what I personally don't see in those discussions. I'll tell you what. Those tests are biased as fuck. I have an IQ of 148 and I'll drop on you what those who have "proven" high IQs don't say.
@tippitiwichet IQ tests don't test intelligence. they test social standing. they were specifically designed to elevate white upperclass boys make women & POC & poor folks seen lesser. even the newer tests are steeped in social bias (my tested IQ is 162, but it's easy to fake that. it's meaningless)
@redenigma YeeeeSSSS! Also, so super happy to see someone tested higher than me see the same social phenomenon! I was so raised to be upper class (and my family is so disappointed, and I love that).
(Okay, they shouldn't be so disapointed, I did what I was raised to do, we won't talk about Joe's paycheck and how much I don't care about it and run around with holes in my pants because rebellion is fun. After all, I dumped him in August, even if the fuck still doesn't seem to get it....)
@redenigma Sigh. Fine. He's not a fuck. He's what happens when a nice guy was abused and normalizes it, I just don't care and would rather he stayed away. None of that negates blah blah above.
