Ask me about my Stream Deck
I understand and appreciate this is an international forum and as such there are bound to be communication issues, but the interactions I see here often times leave me stunned. It's as if people don't read or have exceptionally poor comprehension. Maybe it's willful or a sign of the times. A new post goes up and the first 5 responses are people who didn't read the post and maybe not even the title before spamming up their half baked opinion. I can't even recall the number of times I'm ignored when trying to ask about someone else's opinions. I'm not exactly a stellar member myself truth be told, but I was just wondering what other people thought of this. I hope this post isn't in violation of forum rules which I will admit I haven't read 😂

I highly doubt people are going to come forward and proclaim they’re thick as shit. Or maybe they will, if they truly are thick as shit. The only real way to get accurate, honest results is to have everyone participate in a high IQ test like this one.

That shit is too long. 30 puzzles? I stopped at 10.

I guess my result is that i'm impatient with low attention span.

I think you are more describing the phenomena of rushing to shitpost on page 1 of any thread… at least that hypothetically might be my excuse

I'm not intelligent enough to comprehend this sentence.

FuckYouAll

one poll option could have said 'smarter than the moderators'. honeypot is attracting people to vote for that option, like bees to honey. the trap is being set because votes are made public. you capture the target through deception.

(if you were joking, the irony was lost on me and i apologise for my low IQ, danke)

At least he told me that I was 83% faster than the avarage people, so thats something.

Congratulations!
You completed the test faster than 77% of people. Remarkable performance in visual perception.

Why would someone post a paid for results site.

You completed the test faster than 86% of people. Remarkable performance in abstract theory.
There was a final test underneath that.
The answer is "close page"

If the topics thread titled interests me but the OP posts a huge wall of text, I often will still respond in that thread without ever reading the original post. It's a laziness.

Walls of text is the bane of life.

Seems to happen more frequently now, I just skip them.

Screw reading a book, I have books already.

I'm not paying, so I'll just take this as a consolation:

Congratulations!
You completed the test faster than 90% of people. Remarkable performance in abstract theory.

If you pay for results after that joke of a test you are guaranteed retarded and $22 poorer.

Anybody here still harbouring secret beliefs in the conspiracy theories that were purged from this forum is about 50 rungs below me, too, regardless of their iq results

IQ tests shouldn't be a measure of intelligence.

I have a responsible, highly paid analytical job. I'm also educated at degree level (History and Philosophy), but does that make me intelligent?

To answer the question we would need to agree on a definition of intelligence.

A quick Google search shows me the definition as:

the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.

If we can agree with this definition, then I would say we're all intellect in one way or another.

For example, my brother in-law is terrible at maths. He couldn't work out 7x7 unless he had a considerable amount of time and used his fingers. However, he's a plumber and is able to change a boiler, fit a toilet and a whole host of other plumbing tasks that I wouldn't have a clue how to complete. In that case, I would class him as very intelligent as he has acquired plumbing knowledge and can apply that knowledge to complete a range of plumbing tasks.

I also have to use knowledge and data and apply these skills in my job, so I'd say that I also match the definition. I'm sure a vast majority of people here could say the same thing.
