Kinda, I guess.

No I'm highly intelligent and can hold a conversation easily. I have a wide range of subjects I consider myself at least semi-knowledgable in. I follow news and recent events and open to share my opinion on them or anything else.

I'm not American.

>>2238579
Jokes on you asshole, neither am I, and I'm in the same boat as OP.

Why don't you improve your learnings?

reporting in

I'm a typical aspie robot, only that to those comes my average IQ, and my general dumbfuckness. It only makes me more sad when in every greentext story thread I read unbelievably high IQ's, like 135+.

You're not alone, OP.

>>2238579
Modesty is a virtue. Wouldn't want your pretension to show at first glance.

>>2238646
My pretentiousness is what divides me from the plebian who don't even know whon Cicero was nor speak Latin.

Pleb makes me moist.

Lets discuss the causes of the fall of the republic while drinking some fine wine and smoking cigars one day.

>>2238755
star wars was a dumb movie anyways.

>>2238616

where do you think you'll end up 5 years down the line? You have any friends?

a lot of us here are that way i'm assuming.

>>2238781

it was alright, i liked it better than star trek.

I don't have a high IQ but I struggle with the most basic of shit and I feel like a retard a lot of the times. I just wish I could properly apply myself.

Welp, I could go ahead and say I'm a retard because my mom always called me a retard, the state has me marked as a retard, and I occasionally get called retard by random people. I'll go out on a limb here and say I'm retarded.

So, can I get money for being mentally retarded then?

My IQ is average I suppose but years of depression has fucked up my cognitive skills. Add some nice social anxiety to the mix and I honestly can't open my mouth without making a fool of myself.

>>2238661
knowing a skyrim character = intelligent...?

IQ doesn't mean shit, don't be such an ignorant dumbass.
Also, don't ask /r9k/, the majority of robots are in denial about their mediocrity.

>>2241587
>the majority
>majority of thread right now is people saying they're below-average

>>2241609
>implying the majority of the thread = the majorit yor /r9k/

>>2241617
majority of*

>>2241617
>>2241626
Either way that's a pretty damn broad statement.

>>2241641
Have you ever seen those threads where people rate themselves in terms of sex, appearance, intelligence, etc? Roughly 4 out of every 5 person rates their intelligence at like a 7-8/10.
I'd say that the majority of /r9k/ vastly overrates their intelligence to compensate for other areas they are lacking in.

>>2241660
Ehhh could be then, it's rather messy and at certain times of the day there's going to be self-pity circlejerks. I suppose we do have alot of narcissistic sociopaths and normalfags.

just talk sports then

>>2241732
I'd rather talk about books and video games than sports. I think it's overall stupid to approach someone at all knowing there's not more to say than a greeting, unless you're just passing by. Just let it go. I remember going to someone's birthday party simply because I was invited on Facebook and I knew him a little bit. We said hello and then stood around looking around idly before I said, "Alright I have nothing else to say, bye."

>>2241783
>unintelligent
>not knowledgeable in any subject
>low iq
>talk about sports
>it all makes sense now

>low IQ
like retarded low or just forest gump low?

I have the worst time following instructions and generally "getting it" but I really love to learn.

I fucking hate people who can understand something incredibly easily, right away, or without any real thought because they usually don't bother to give a shit about it.

Just remember that IQ tests are bullshit, it's not a measure of intelligence. You have to learn to study at your pace and to commit to what you study, not everyone is talented.

>>2242319

you be the judge of that i guess.

right here, i've always been this way though, so it comes to no surprise.

how many of you also have no interesting or funny stories to tell?
b

IQ has nothing to do with how well you converse

Trust me I know..

>>2246614

>That feel when you have no funny, outgoing, or original personality and show no emotion while speaking in a monotone voice.

>>2246614
i can make up elaborate and believable stories on the spot its my curse and gift.

>>2246781

do you also have cluster headaches etc?

>that feel when you're kinda knowledgeable about everything and your interests are too different from the common "duuuuuuude I was sooo wasted last night XD" to talk to most people
Nobody wants to hear the stories I read about Feynman....

Average IQ. Not book smart. Ok with conversations. I'm a good actor which other than being good with my hands is my only realy skill.

Being subpar really sucks but then again who really cares? What difference does it make? Life is what you make of it and if forrest gump had a happy ending then i'm pretty sure that atleast some of us idiots will too... well maybe only a few.

>>2247925
>sitting at the food court of the mall with friends

Whatever being placed these friends in my path, this retard thanks you.

people on here aren't smart at all, none of us are.

my iq is probably 100 or maybe a little less.

I really don't know this feel.

I'm clever as hell and can talk about anything, even if I have no prior knowledge about it. I can also mask my personality to fit whoever I'm talking to.

I'm still fucking miserable at the end of the day so yeah.
>woopee

>>2247930
Forrest Gump is fiction written by someone who is far more talented than you, and is probably worth 10x what you are.

Yeah I'm dumb. Not that dumb, but I can't compete academically with my peers. I have shit memory too

how many of you can't even absorb all the information you read/see?

>>2238579
>implying not being American equals being intelligent

2/10. Faggots will believe this. Some will get mad/butthurt.

yup that's a me, me me.

not in the slightest, but i guess that's the way it goes when you skip school.

>>2238542
OP, as I can relate to you, I have a tip/a warning. DON'T read up on IQ. The moment you get past the misconceptions and myths and begin to realise how big intelligence's impact is, on many more areas of life than most are willing to acknowledge, it'll really weigh down on you. Occasionally perhaps, because people like me are untroubled with unconvenient truths - we have this "nice" mechanism of forgetting them instantly and sliding back into the comfy ignorance - but still, it WILL hurt at times.

Didn't read the thread, and don't really want to.

>>2259077

I did that and I'm still struggling with "depression"/shitty confidence

>>2247930
he fell in love with a whore that got aids and left him with a kid. Thats not a happy ending to me

can't change the way your intelligence is, might as well role with being an idiot.

I feel bad when people who are quick-witted look down on me,
but I totally understand why they do.
Still, I'm not as stupid as they think I am.

>>2259719

who knows, they may actually be right.

>>2254404

That's me. I can sit down and read a text book for hours but it feels like I'm barely retaining anything. It's not like I read it and forget immediately but the next day I won't remember much unless I drill it hard. Feels bad that I'll never be a scientist.

I have nothing to say to people anymore, I don't even want to get to know them. I stay silent now. Kinda freaks me out though. Haven't been out from my house for 2 months now. I feel anti social as hell and I'm afraid I forgot how to talk to people.

>>2259719

I think quick wit comes with social stimulation. It keeps your mind active providing for quicker absorption of new ideas and concepts.

Shit like /r9k/ just degrades it.

>That feel when you always thought you were smart in school
>That feel when your parents were so proud
>that feel when you notice you're not smart anymore, your grades fall
>that feel when your out of school and your parents pretend they're not sad, but they are
>terrible

>>2262126
I kind of have that problem. Throughout my school life I'd been forced to daydream in order to kill the vast amounts of time spent simply being idle and unable to do anything else.
As of consequence, I now daydream almost uncontrollably and it harasses me while I read. Takes me like twice as long to read a book as it normally would.

>>2262145
Elaborate some more. I'm not sure why this intrigues me.

I hate to sound stuck up, but I can't carry a conversation about the Pleb shit most people talk about. I could go on for hours about the election, political beliefs, world war 2, or anything else in the sphere of history or politics. But if you want to talk about reality shows or how someone didn't like your comment on facebook you can suck a fat one.

>>2262175
>Elaborate some more

Okay. I'm 24 yo. Living at my folks house. Been umployed for 7 months now, I tried to get a sound engineer job but I was bored with my school and dropped it.
Before the sound engineer school, I was unemployed for a whole year and a half. Never went out from my house either at the time, I stayed at home on my computer. I don't have many friend, I stayed in contact with my ex gf, I see her at least once a month. We're in pretty good terms but she gets on my nerve pretty easily.

Now I'm back to square one. I go outside only because I have to (family meeting, buying a vidya game in a store or buying cigarettes) but I've never seen anyone but my ex-gf in the last couple months. I stay at home now and I'm bored, but I'm used to it now.

>>2262187
You should be entitled to your own interests, especially if you excel in them. It's much more infuriating to overhear people telling others with different interests to ditch what they enjoy and to enjoy what others do.

>>2262224
So you simply just have no real reason to leave the house? I can dig that, I barely ever leave the house aside from school, family meetings and and hanging out with my friends(though they've begun joining PC gaming, further decreasing any incentive of going outside). But you mentioned just not having anything else to say to people? Is it because there's no people who share your interests or are marginally unappealing? I could easily see myself developing into that, I was merely lucky.

>>2262281
>So you simply just have no real reason to leave the house?
Yep, pretty much. I don't have friends, I've no reason to go out. Except to see my ex-gf, but she's working and is really busy so we don't see each other that much now.

>Is it because there's no people who share your interests or are marginally unappealing?
I'd say both. I lost contact with all my previous friends and school buddies, I have nothing in common with them anymore, most of them moved from my town anyway. I choose solitude then. The weaboo term for my condition is hikkikomori or some shit, I stay secluded in my room, I don't go out etc. I'm apathethic and I'm fine with that for now I guess.

>>2262162
>>2262175

I feel like I should elaborate on that. You know that slight euphoria you get when you have a stimulating conversation? It produces an auto-catalytic cycle (or something like that) where it becomes more easy to interact with others. You feel less shy, more extroverted, and willing to make conversation to reproduce that same sensation. Quick wit has the same origins. A small joke here and there that makes people laugh builds the confidence needed to make more jokes and get those peoples or persons acceptance.

A feed-back cycle.

>>2262433

I'm not angry at people or anything, I just don't care about them anymore. I'm really quiet whenever I go outside, kinda shy even, autistic maybe. I don't look at people, I just do my thing and go back to my house as soon as possible. Since I haven't talked to real people in a long time, apart from my folks, I usually forget how to start a proper conversation. If someone asks me something, I'm laconic because I don't want to talk to them that much.

>>2262433
You sound frighteningly similar to myself. As I've said somewhere, I feel merely lucky for the friends I have. I'm still overall incredibly apathetic and spend most of my time inside, whether it's by choice or not. There could simply be nothing to do, or I'll be indulging in the many more options I have here such as daydreaming in the comfort of my bed.

>>2262465
I could believe this, there's those rare occurrences in public situations where I'd normally keep to myself, but people reached out to me and spoke so I fully engaged them and felt more confident from it. One of the perks of apathy is being able to "go with the flow".

>>2262472
I know that feel.

>>2262526

Same here, I stay on my bed, I browse 4chan and play games, listen to podcasts, watch movies. I need to to get my driver license but I'm too jaded to do any effort for getting it. My folks don't complain about my condition, I don't know if they're afraid to ask me anything or something. My mother is just like me though, she has literally no friends, never goes out either. I feel my dad is preoccupied by both of us but he never says a thing. He's pretty beta, never grounded me.

>>2262603
Yeah I also just sit around playing vidya, watching movies, ...I spend ungodly amounts of time solely just listening to music, pacing around the rooms visualizing along with the songs. Sometimes I'll get into the mood for reading a book or writing some shit.
I also don't have my driver's license despite wanting one. For about a year, maybe two years, I could never successfully gather all the required information together just to take the test(but I did take it a few times, it gave me those "this question is right but THIS one is even more right" shits). The problem for the last year has been that no one could ever drive me up, my dad's pressuring me to get up there and pass now, seeing as my sister has seemingly taken the car I was supposed to be passed down, now driving it around because she crashed the last one or something. I'll undoubtedly lose my inside time once I can drive.
My mom's...rather unfunctionable now and my dad generally doesn't care what I do aside from getting a job in the future. It's funny, that he lets me do whatever I want, something that I hear many others would murder for, and I squander it by sitting here for...I don't even know how many hours a day.

AAAANYWAY, ending my rambling. When you do a lot of something you get good at it. I'm excelled at daydreaming. Probably not as good as math, probably very destructive, but it's kind of like masturbation for my brain and heart.

>>2262187

>pleb

no stop.

i'm going to be okay with this.

my iq is >150 and i have trouble keeping conversations going

>that feel when you get panic attacks by doing jack all

>>2269205
What? From like, being worried about doing nothing?

I'm pretty dumb. I can be quick to catch on to things, but I fizzle out after awhile and fall behind.

This is pretty bad because I end up looking smarter then I am, and then people assume I'm just lazy when I fall behind.

>>2269237

I bet you're a genius at heart.

all of the subjects i was ever taught slipped my mind.

Yeah, I'm not very smart. Anything technical like math or science or computer programming, nope, I'm shit. I even suck at videogames. My only skill is music but who gives a shit about that. And socially, holy shit, better not start on that.

>>2269237
It could either be that I really hate myself and have actual talent or that people just look at me and expect highly of me and I fail to deliver.

>>2272922
Good at music? As in playing instruments?

>>2272963
>Good at music? As in playing instruments?

I'm okay I guess at a few instruments, and I also write all the time
It doesn't matter though, I'm still a hermit and nobody will ever care

>>2238579

I'm American, and can easily hold a conversation with nearly anyone.

>>2272922

do you have friends or any good stories?

Nope, I'm 22 and just had conversations with a med student, a development worker in Africa, a pharmacologist, at an event my older girlfriend hosted and all of them went alright. If anything it's my looks holding me back from actually being a great conversationalist and speaker and wowing everyone I come in contact with.

>that feel when you're unintelligent but have extensive knowledge in a few subjects that interest you

>that feel when this overrides your natural anxiety towards social situations and you have no choice but to sperg out all over the floor on how they are wrong

When will I learn

>>2274601

What you have to do is explain why they're wrong and then give them a bone - something that's positive toward them. Like "Well you might be wrong on x, y, z, but it's a pretty cool subject there's a lot to learn about it, I've always wondered W what do you think?"

then the monkey subhuman fucking niggers that I had talked to walked by me. He said something in his unintelligible nigger-babble. I lost it and right in front of my boss, I went up to the niggers I talked to, and called him what he was, a worthless nigger. told that fucker. I hate niggers so god damn much.

>>2259719
I'm extremely paranoid about how people perceive my intelligence. I have an IQ of around 115, but a few times i've had comments by this same girl who literally thinks I am Forest Gump retarded. I was standing in a group of friends, aloof to the conversation that they were having, stuck in my own thoughts when she said. "aww, it's okay I know you're trying to keep up with us". From then on, and for a while after I started to wonder if this was how everybody perceived me. Thankfully, my best friend noticed how strange she acted towards me.
God, I'm so fucking self concious.

>unintelligent
Yep. Not as much as I can't learn anything, I just don't want to. I'm so uninterested in the subjects that I can't even continue learning.
The only subjects I'm knowledgeable in are my interests.

>have a low IQ
Probably. Haven't checked in a while.

>can't keep a conversation going past a greeting
I can keep on a conversation with people I like 1 person but other than that, I can barely even reply to anything other than a greeting, and certainly not without stuttering.

>>2281779

Fuck, I probably made a ton of grammar errors and used awkward wording in this post.

I don't have a high IQ but I struggle with the most basic of shit and I feel like a retard a lot of the times. I just wish I could properly apply myself and not act like a retard.

Don't worry, everyone on this board knows that feel.

>>2285552

doubt it because of all the high iq threads lately.

>>2281906
Basically same but far higher tested intelligence, with the tradeoff that I'm literate enough for people to suspect I'm bookish from time to time.

legally off the charts IQ. 7 concussions fixed that though

I'm smarter than my peers. I'm interested in politics instead of the local sports team. I memorize solar places like "The Pillars of Creation" instead of celebrity names. Everyone my age loves rap and I listen to 80s and acoustic music.

I have a hard time holding up conversation though. I wish I could get better ones going, but finding common ground can be hard for me.

this narcissistic egotist here >>2238579 is a prime example

>SHIGGY DIGGY

One Week Social Skills Course.

Each day do the day you're at, plus all previous days. If you can't do some for whatever reason, you have permission to skip one day, but never two.

Mo. Make eye contact and say "hi" to people. Start conversations with anyone you're buying something from.

Tu. Meet up with a friend, and if they see people they know introduce yourself.

We. Smile at people, touch them on the arm when you're talking to them, and turn your body to face them.

Th. Talk to some strangers on the bus, in line at the supermarket, walking around the park or down the street, in the music shop or book shop, wherever. Shops are easiest, "Hey, what's that book/album/author/artist like?" but by now you'll be way more confident than you were before even in other situations.

Fr. Invite a bunch of friends out for the evening to watch a movie or show and have some drinks. Be seen as an organizer, talk to everyone, generally be cool.

Sa.

Su. Do whatever you want. Something fun, something more relaxing, whatever you want.

Always listen to "party" music in the morning. I like Passion Pit and Justice, you like what you like, but never let it be slow. Most albums I know only have a few fast, high-energy songs, so make a playlist. Fake it 'til you make it, but when you're smiling and making eye contact you get into a positive spiral real quick and each step feels fairly natural. This is what worked for me, YMMV.

>>2288173
Thank you for this, seriously. You're right, after taking baby steps with socializing, the rest comes easily and naturally.

>>2288047
There are always idiots like this in IQ threads on 4chan. What you mean is that IQ does not determine success or happiness, but it's not "bullshit."

IQ measures one's ability to think abstractly, which roughly translates into how apt a person is to perform certain tasks. You don't want a doctor, engineer or lawyer with an IQ of 90 because he wouldn't be able to do his fucking job.

But since measuring the ability to think abstractly is bullshit, maybe you would prefer a doctor with the IQ of a chimp.

Your I Q as opposed to the rest of the world.

I'm borderline genius, but because I live in a foreign country where I've only studied the native language for the three years I've been in college, my culturally-adjusted verbal IQ is something like 75ish for my age, but since my brain still thinks at a normal pace I feel incredibly alienated. Having a verbal IQ below your logical IQ is the worst thing ever.
