You know the difference between a high IQ and standard IQ is basically how fast are you learning things, so, if you cultivate yourself you really don't need to feel bad, actually you are making things for yourself, that is something pretty good.
@@emmanuelo1998 Yes I think it's just like that, but the problem is about the people who has low and normal IQ (majority), they resign cause of that, for other side I really don't know if this guy has 75 but he has the knowledge to typing correctly. So, he maybe cultive himself. I don't know if I explained my point. Haha.
I think the issue with the test is that someone like him is trained doing that kind of thinking during his work. It is like training for the IQ test and then taking it. You don't need to know the answers 1:1 but simply the techniques how to approach these issues. TBF he is probably at the smart end of the spectrum, but the number is mostly meaningless.
This honestly gets me a bit irritated. It’s like UA-camrs telling people “anyone can do math”. But when you go and check their CV, they have PhDs from Oxford, Harvard, etc. These people, although smart, are delusional. They have no idea what’s like having a low/average IQ.

I can't tell you how many times there's been things i wasn't good at until i just simply practiced them to death, and i became good. The world is far more nuanced than human made tests. IQ tests don't even test all the intelligences, since there are, at the very least theoretically other intelligences, and plenty of people with low or average IQ's are the bosses of high IQ individuals, it's not the end of the world, you'll do fine.

I have a lot of student, so I don't think they have all a high IQ and I am convinced they can do maths (all of them !) : with some tips (draw pictures, write all you understand etc) they understand very well ! If they are not good at maths, it is mostly because of their psychological inhibitions.

Yes but this is simple to know and to act. So if you're a manipulator and your goal is to look like a humble guy you would probably say things that make people to like you.

@@Gemesili underrated comment. Pretty sure this is more common than people think. A lot of intelligent people are burdened by stupid people, in class/work etc, and would benefit more from having their own space to create.
What do you suppose is the IQ requirement to make and edit a video? How about just a general computer user, or even to live on your own without supervision? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's above 75, even without an official test. If Mensa says it isn't, then there is something wrong with the test. 😜
Exactly! The people in Mensa want you to believe that you cannot increase your iq-test score and that there is no point in preparing for the test. They want everyone to believe that they are genetically superior humans to stroke their own egos. Also, Mensa charges around $100 to join, which is pandering to the egos of people with low self-esteem. In a way that makes the founder/owner(?) the real genius and the others suckers.
I scored 145 on the German Mensa IQ Test (took it 2011) yet I've had severe problems with math in University, which years later turned out to be because of how bad my school program was (we basically did nothing there and I had to start all over again learning basically everything from scratch, no differential equations, no probability theory... and university requires you to know binomial coefficients in your first week... you can imagine how I felt knowing literally nothing and there's no time to catch up because they pile material on top of you each week). So I had to drop out. Kinda sucks that life went some other way and I can't really blame myself, what do I know as a kid what I need for university? I mean I remember sitting there and feeling stupid. Do these guys around me understand everything? How do they do it? Am I now dumb among these prodigies? One could literally learn the entire 13 years school program in 3 months (which I did, and even more than that), so I am here asking why do we as a society spend so much resources on public education which sucks donkey balls. All you need is a few good books and $1.50 in late library fees.
So how's life as a university drop out? Do you regret your decision? I'm also considering to do that myself even when the major is CS, since it feels like a waste of time considering the quality of instruction, I don't even understand what I already know, what I see on youtube or MIT open courseware etc is like infinitely better quality. However there's a huge risk that comes with having no CS degree, especially if I want to work abroad in programming/AI field.
@@shindoxxx pretty good. I don't regret it. I work as a programmer. I recommend getting a CS degree, it will make applying easier. I had to make a portfolio which stands out and that is difficult. Our company hires those with CS degrees without them having a portfolio. I took MIT 6.00.1x online course on edx and made no mistakes on last chapter (where you only have 1 try for each question). I highly recommend that course for beginners.
@@SandraWantsCoke Can you please elaborate, what did you do for your portfolio how long did it take? Was it hard to get hired and is it easier now if you need to look for another job without a degree?
Lolopopolo well he’s basically as low in conscientiousness as one can be but studying only 2 days before the exam and passing it while over 90% of the students failed does take a certain level of intelligence. Furthermore he studied maths which can come in handy for iq tests because there’s a lot of pattern recognition going on in those and that’s basically one of the skills you learn in uni I also doubt that he could have done anything considering his approach of studying (stuff like medicine or law where you have to remember so much shit is probably not exactly his strength)
Lolopopolo yeah, I remember papa also said that he only cared about getting a passing grade because if you want to become a maths teacher in Germany no one’s gonna care about your grades so he wasn’t like a top scorer but rather pretty damn smart considering which exams he just passed like that
What were you expecting? You're mathematician. That means you are doing the most abstract and hardest to imagine stuff any human can do. Even nuclear physicists are not that high in abstraction. I mean you think about stuff like geometrical laws in spaces far more complex than the one we are actually living in. You guys don't do abstract stuff, you are abstraction itself. I doubt that there is anyone below 130 in a high pure-math class.

@@MrCmon113 It's unhelpful when people in uni does that. It's like Usain Bolt telling the paraplegic that he can become just as fast with enough work. I think it's an effect of those people in uni growing up in an environment with other smart people, and basing their "average" on those people. Well duh, of course you will be average when compared to other intelligent people. You can achieve a lot more with hard work than with IQ alone, but university and the hard sciences are already for the very best IQ-wise.
@@MrCmon113 I use it the opposite way because I have ADHD. So during a psych eval it came out I had a high IQ and the reason I didn't need help prior was because my iq and hard work would compensate. So for me at least I felt elevated by that. College engineering was difficult enough to make me seek an eval but only junior year so I really did make it far.
Yes gladwell said that how it feel is function of your relative standing, in a talk don't go to Harvard. Or if youre environment is smart you feel average.
Richard Feynman was only recorded by Mensa to have an IQ of 125, yet somehow he excelled in mathematics so well that he received records and awards from the University. I'd question the IQ test for sure, because Richard Feynman was a genius and deserved to be recognized by the elite of his day. Even though Mensa denied him membership, the world still recognizes him as one of the top physicists of the 20th century. I'd rather believe that "Mensa" is "stupid" (like the Spanish would say) and that there more intelligence in a Table or Star (like the Romans would say) than in this ignominious High IQ Society.
The test measures your intelligence, not your skill at physics. It's not like 125 is idiot territory. He was still way more intelligent than the average person.
@@MrCmon113 my hypothesis is that the IQ test only tests a person how well he does on the specific IQ TEST. Northing more. I am a Classics major. I've studied Greek since I was 11 years old. If I created an intelligence test, I'd include questions in Greek, Latin, Hebrew, German, French, and also quiz on Music, History, Calculus, Chemistry, and Physics. Someone like Sir Isaac Newton would have done well. But Albert Einstein would have failed my questions because he didn't know Greek or Latin ,... or even Hebrew for that matter. My point is that very few are linguistically geniuses and maths geniuses simultaneously. Newton is the one exception. He and Euclid.
@@NathanaelKuechenberg Your hypothesis is based on nothing. IQ is based on scientific studies and their statistical analysis. That's how we know that certain cognitive skills are strongly correlated pointing at a common cause.
Papa Flammy is living proof that mathematics can be fun and interesting to people despite their understanding. It all depends on the way it's presented. Flammy has nailed that.
It's more about wisdom than intelligence. Having a high IQ means you have a high IQ. You have a proclivity for solving certain problems. That's it. "No one in their right mind takes pride in their talents" - Miss Maudie, To Kill A Mockingbird. The reason you don't take pride in your talents, is that you did nothing to achieve them. IQ is a tool to achieve great things, but is not an achievement in itself. We don't admire Stephen Hawkins because he was smart, but because of what he achieved. It's a dangerous thing to be take pride in IQ, since it might leave you feeling like you've already achieved something, and you'll end up not using your IQ for anything worthwhile, and therefore wasting it. As you live longer, you'll meet people with lower-than-genius IQs, who are way smarter than you in ways you didn't know existed. Stay humble guys.
I'm not surprised Flammy. The way you just glide through all those high level maths solutions is a testament to your intellectual ability. You're a genius.
"All metrics of scientific evaluation are bound to be abused. Goodhart's law states that when a feature of (...) is picked as an indicator of (...), then it inexorably ceases to function as that indicator because people start to game it"
But that only holds true for paramaters thst can be influenced consciously by a person. IQ cannot be changed that easily, as that would mean a serious rewiring of the brain
really? i thought that the ego-skill graph of the dunning kruger effect spikes again more than the first spike but you actually have the skill to back it up its hard to explain in words, but if you look at the graph for it, you get what i mean basically, your ego spikes on 'mount stupid' even though your skill is terrible, then it goes down, and up even further than the mount stupid spike, meaning that gifted people would consider themselves to be gifted and acknowledge it. them acknowledging that there is loads they don't know is another matter entirely, but if you take the graph then it doesn't make sense
That's not 100% true. This has nothing to do with intelligence but with wisdom. And not every smart person does have this wisdom. Look if you see every day, that you understand things much faster and easier than others, then they will understand they are smarter than most people. It depends much on the circumstances. Has nothing to do with high intelligence. If she or he is raised the right way or does have this kind of wisdom it is like you said
@@beebal5406 The conclusion of the D-K paper was that stupid people greatly overestimate their own competency *and* truly competent people underestimate it.
Maybe he was annoyed because he actually thought he was average and managed to get good at maths despite that, but it's really expected of someone with an IQ of 145 to do well at pretty much anything. It's not an achievement, it's something he was born with.
IQ tests don't measure every aspect of one's cognitive ability. Someone like Nima Yooshij who scored 150 on an IQ test, would probably score at least 200 on a Torrance test.
Statistically a 145 IQ is roughly 1 in 10,000, which means if you have a 145 IQ you are probably not just the most intelligent person in the room but the most intelligent person anybody in the room will interact with in their entire lives.

Relatable... as for me, I don't even want to take the test, because "low iq" feels like "worthlessness", and "high iq" feels like "unwanted expectations and responsability"... well, maybe, if you deal with these kinds of emotions, you might take the test and just keep the number to your self as a secret. 😄
I’ve subscribed since I saw your other video on the Mensa reaction. Lol I can’t believe they came back saying you weren’t as smart as you are considering your sheer competence in Mathematics (which is an EXTREMELY difficult field of study) and the fact that as a German you speak English with such fluency that it’d give natives a run for their money. I can only imagine how many other talents you’ve got lol. Keep the videos coming!
Yeah lmao they were probably just salty that he took their precious little bubble of people whose only achievement in life is being really good at imagining spinning cubes and wiped his ass with it
I’m fairly confident it would have been the other way around - that he scored so highly because of his experience with mathematics. Both IQ tests and high-level maths are primarily theoretical, after all, so he would have trained that skill in his research
I believe IQ measurements become more or less useless after 120-130 as these people are capable of any cognitive challenge that could be faced on a day to day basis... That said, people with a higher IQ who have the possibility to become geniuses face a plethora of requirements that we can't currently measure which could allow them to make important breakthroughs or truly visualize the world in a different way. Still, very impressive and really shows your already explored potential!
Sir I think you need to be a little less critical on yourself. You're clearly smart and its evident, even from the way you talk. I mean you could still remember sections of the IQ test hours after you sat it and you even tried to generalise it by its topics for your viewers that may want to sit it themselves. That by itself deserves some respect. Historically, smart people have denied their intelligence levels when they are told that they are as smart as they are. You sir are clearly quite gifted and even convincingly present yourself by the IQ you've been given. Additionally, its fine if you dont agree with your score, you could try one of the many prestigious IQ tests around the globe that may give you a more accurate result (possibly with a true and exact reading of your IQ). So please instead of denying your IQ score and your intelligence, do some research around why you may gotten the score that you attained before you downgrade yourself. Furthermore, please remember that its okay and important to criticise yourself to get consistently smarter and better at whatever you do but dont be too critical with yourself as it can negatively hinder productivity and success in all strains of life. Keep up with the quality content sir, its an honour to be in the prescence of such an intellectual like yourself and remember to stay positive and focussed as these two things are the greatest catalysts of development amd success.
I was expecting 140-145 before the video and it turned out to be pretty accurate. You got a lot of skills you take for granted which many people do not have. For example, recognize series or sums (patter recognition / good memory), doing math memes (deep understanding of a concept and linking seemingly unrelated sruff), doing math videos (problem solving skills and clear logic). There aren't many people with all those skills in real life. You might have seen many of them whether in university or on internet, but probably a very few or none besides in those 2 places.
@@activechannel80 If you have a good reference I'm curious to read. Makes sense for at least the upper extremes (say past 140) to be more biologically driven.
Before the reveal: it’s between 140 and 180 isn’t it. After reveal: called it. I took a terrible free IQ test and got... I think it was either 129 or 139, something like that. It was really bad though. It had the Fibonacci sequence in it. I don’t think it’s a good idea to put recognizable sequences in test measuring intelligence.
When I took it there were many questions that were just "solve this system of equations" word problems about buying pens and pencils at certain price points. Anyone who's thought about algebra in the last month or so would do fine on those.

Glad to know that your dispute with Mensa Germany got resolved peacefully. Also, the revised editing is very smooth-one can't tell that you've cut out some parts.

You don't intend to join Mensa, but you did take their IQ test ... so it must be for the IQ score, right? 😜
I'd be curious to see if a second test improves the number. I'd also be curious if you would take another in 10 years, 20 years, 30 years if the score differs. Ten years ago I had taken Mensa's test twice and the second time I scored slightly higher. However, due to a bit of declining health, I now feel like I would not do as well. (I never actually joined Mensa although I was invited as I truly didn't feel it would add value to my life.)

He's just studied more than you have. You can actually grow smarter. Not sure if the iq actually improves, but my brain at least gets faster and gets to know and understands more stuff as I progress in my studies.
@@roc6596 Unfortunately, IQ doesn't increase with studying regardless of the subject of studies. It's pretty much immutable and although you can study to get to your "peak potential" IQ, once you achieve it, you're pretty much done (although there _are_ promising studies regarding Dual-N-Back improving working memory, leading to increases in IQ). But my understanding is that if you start out, say at 115, and have a peak potential IQ of 130 (dependent on IQ test practice, etc.), you'll only ever be able to get to that 130. What you're talking about has probably more to do with synthesis and crystallized IQ - you study more, you have more connections to make and thus able to understand even new concepts that much faster. Sort of like polyglots learning their n-th language. But fluid/general IQ is still sort of the top speed at which you'll be able to make those connections.
@@szymonskrabanek5327 Well, yes. That's what I tried to say. Still, that's enough for the majority of us to learn and do the majority of things, I suppose.

I love how you show your entire image of yourself break apart in the end. The realisation of it being so much harder to teach math to everyone and make it be as simple to them as it is to you. I'll just stay in my bubble where I think it's all easy to teach with enough effort and enjoyment on the pupil's side.. I'm not ready to assume anything outside one sigma deviation 😂
Yeah. I am a math major too, with an interest in education so the obvious path was to go into mathematics teaching. My young naive self really thought that anyone could be taught any math of any level, if only we could find the right way. Then, for the first time in my life, I banged my head against a topic I was just too dumb to ever grasp. It's strange - it wasn't the first hard course, or the first exam I failed... I didn't even fail the exam, in fact. But in all the other courses, I never lost the certainty that with sufficient time and effort I could come to master the topic. Not so for dread Algebraic Surfaces. That course is completely beyond me, no matter the effort and time I expend. If this is how people feel about maths, then teaching is a lost cause.
Actually no, most mathematicians get more than 130+ iq, which means that there's some correlation. Also, it depends on the kind of test and the country you're testing in. Anyways it's a fun little piece of paper, dismissing it would be pretty ignorant, and fully confirming it would be ignorant, at the end it's just a statistical comparison between you and the population.
@@chunchunmaru3644 hmm but i don't think iq tests test your iq, actually iq is a human made concept which means you are testing your iq with the help of your brain and also making that iq test with your brain so ironical. But he said that we actually have to memorise the things so it really doesn't test your thinking capacity...
@@raghav9o9 IQ is a human made statistical concept, it doesn't measure your intelligence, just how you measure up compared to the rest of the population (percentile), so even if everyone in the world got twice as smart overnight, their iq theoretically wouldn't change. Working memory is important too, the more you can memorize instantaneously, the more efficient your thinking will be.
The test you took seems like being very similar to the one I took a while ago at Mensa. The IQ kind of measures the skillset you need in mathematics and other similar fields. If I'm not mistaken, people with a bachelor or similar in maths have an average IQ of something between 125 and 130 and the average master in said fields is gifted. 145 also means, that you got most of the questions correct. Depending on the exact test, I took IBF-S back then, they measure a little bit above 145, but you need to get basically everything right which was, at least like 2 or 3 years ago, never achieved. The 100 percentile means, that there are 0 percent of people who scored better than you. I myself am pretty bad at remembering things... I just gave 2 or 3 ansers in the section the different companies with products, prices and country or in the country-map section, where you needed to remember boundaries and flags of not existing countries. Congrats or something, but as you said: It's just a number. Doesn't really change anything. 👍
I was under the impression that an IQ test is quite heavily focused on your abstract thinking, so people with a strong math/physics background perform well. But im thinking that its much more difficult to measure creativity, and honestly speaking (as a physicist myself) its this creativity which distinguishes the average (like myself) from the truly elite.
Yes it’s true, professional Mathematicians and physicists have an average IQ between 135-145. This is due to high levels of abstract thinking, reasoning and complex problem solving skills that are picked up while studying these subjects. The average IQ of professional Chemists and Biologists however drops massively, they average between 120-130, this is due to a lack of abstraction and more focus on rote learning. So yes your hypothesis is correct, the more exposure to abstract thinking = the higher your IQ will be.
@@stolen.teh.tealeafs From the best psychological research we have, iq is correlated with intelligence. Not an extremely strong correlation, but the correlation is still there
I know a guy who keeps bragging about his IQ (edit: he does have an above average IQ), and whenever someone upsets him, he'll say "well some people are just lower IQ" as a way of calling them stupid. Thing is, he is definitely not a very smart or "gifted" person, so it makes me cringe whenever he does that. Having an above average IQ does not mean you are a smart person. I really do not want to take an IQ test, as I have always felt smarter than most people my age (I have been really good at math and science, and have been quick to learn languages, but always hated subjects that involved just memorizing), but don't think my IQ is very high. Regardless if I would score high or not, I wouldn't want to know that number, and I definitely wouldn't want to brag about it.
That is incompetence at work, being full of yourself for your IQ is going to harm your productivity and learning curve. Or another way might be to be subconsciously aware of your intelligence, but not to pay much attention to it.
I knew a guy in high school who legitimately had a 155 iq. He definitely had a huge ego from it, and it probably hurt his productivity. He got a full ride to college despite giving 0 effort in school. Literally fell asleep during tests. The thing is, he didn’t end up reaching his potential at all. He went to a decent school, but much worse than he could’ve gotten into had he tried. I know this because his brother also had a 155iq and did not use it as an excuse to slack off. His brother took 15+ AP classes and got a perfect score in all of them, allowing him to go to Oxford and become very successful.
It's funny. I had a similar reaction to yours a couple of years ago. I "scored" a 155 in a WAIS 4 test through my licensed psychologist and immediately lost any respect on the notion of IQ. I consider myself an average person borderline stupid tbh despite somehow managing to get an Engineering degree. It's just a worthless number.
I’m pondering your “I feel like a retard” comment despite you scoring very highly in IQ. Accurate or not, the fact that you’ve pursued higher level mathematics as a field is an indicator of itself. Perhaps your comment is because you’re intelligent enough to recognize abstract logic smarts isn’t enough when evaluating the whole of your human mental abilities-that this test only measures one part of your intelligence. It doesn’t measure emotional intelligence or how intelligent you are at analyzing other people’s motives and intentions, then being able to use that knowledge to your advantage-you need “people” or street smarts too in navigating society and being able to push for changes that align with your interests. However, putting yourself down like that because you don’t feel like you measure up in some way isn’t healthy.
Bullshit. Intelligence helps you in obtaining "street smarts" just as much as it helps you in learning carpentry. There is no "emotional intelligence" either. Observing other people is a learned behavior and mild emotions is a character trait.

You know the difference between a high IQ and standard IQ is basically how fast are you learning things, so, if you cultivate yourself you really don't need to feel bad, actually you are making things for yourself, that is something pretty good.
@@emmanuelo1998 Yes I think it's just like that, but the problem is about the people who has low and normal IQ (majority), they resign cause of that, for other side I really don't know if this guy has 75 but he has the knowledge to typing correctly.

What a hero!
I scored 145 on the German Mensa IQ Test (took it 2011) yet I've had severe problems with math in University, which years later turned out to be because of how bad my school program was (we basically did nothing there and I had to start all over again learning basically everything from scratch, no differential equations, no probability theory... and university requires you to know binomial coefficients in your first week... you can imagine how I felt knowing literally nothing and there's no time to catch up because they pile material on top of you each week). So I had to drop out. Kinda sucks that life went some other way and I can't really blame myself, what do I know as a kid what I need for university?
I mean I remember sitting there and feeling stupid. Do these guys around me understand everything? How do they do it? Am I now dumb among these prodigies?
One could literally learn the entire 13 years school program in 3 months (which I did, and even more than that), so I am here asking why do we as a society spend so much resources on public education which sucks donkey balls. All you need is a few good books and $1.50 in late library fees.
So how's life as a university drop out? Do you regret your decision? I'm also considering to do that myself even when the major is CS, since it feels like a waste of time considering the quality of instruction, I don't even understand what I already know, what I see on youtube or MIT open courseware etc is like infinitely better quality. However there's a huge risk that comes with having no CS degree, especially if I want to work abroad in programming/AI field.
@@shindoxxx pretty good. I don't regret it. I work as a programmer. I recommend getting a CS degree, it will make applying easier. I had to make a portfolio which stands out and that is difficult. Our company hires those with CS degrees without them having a portfolio. I took MIT 6.00.1x online course on edx and made no mistakes on last chapter (where you only have 1 try for each question).

Lolopopolo well he’s basically as low in conscientiousness as one can be but studying only 2 days before the exam and passing it while over 90% of the students failed does take a certain level of intelligence. Furthermore he studied maths which can come in handy for iq tests because there’s a lot of pattern recognition going on in those and that’s basically one of the skills you learn in uni
I also doubt that he could have done anything considering his approach of studying (stuff like medicine or law where you have to remember so much shit is probably not exactly his strength)
Lolopopolo yeah, I remember papa also said that he only cared about getting a passing grade because if you want to become a maths teacher in Germany no one’s gonna care about your grades so he wasn’t like a top scorer but rather pretty damn smart considering which exams he just passed like that

@@MrCmon113 I use it the opposite way because I have ADHD. So during a psych eval it came out I had a high IQ and the reason I didn't need help prior was because my iq and hard work would compensate.

Richard Feynman was only recorded by Mensa to have an IQ of 125, yet somehow he excelled in mathematics so well that he received records and awards from the University.

Even though Mensa denied him membership, the world still recognizes him as one of the top physicists of the 20th century.

Lol I can’t believe they came back saying you weren’t as smart as you are considering your sheer competence in Mathematics (which is an EXTREMELY difficult field of study) and the fact that as a German you speak English with such fluency that it’d give natives a run for their money. I can only imagine how many other talents you’ve got lol.
Keep the videos coming!
Yeah lmao they were probably just salty that he took their precious little bubble of people whose only achievement in life is being really good at imagining spinning cubes and wiped his ass with it
This is a proof by Mensa that only smart people can be Mathematicians, ugh, my fate is being an engineer.
I’m fairly confident it would have been the other way around - that he scored so highly because of his experience with mathematics. Both IQ tests and high-level maths are primarily theoretical, after all, so he would have trained that skill in his research
G=pi**2
Yeah if he was originally 128 then that means you can improve. The brain is always growing new connections
@@autumnreed2079 To be fair, the constant headaches and nosebleeds might have been a factor in lowering the score the first time. (lack of focus)
Fuck no. I'm a maths major and I'd never survive in Engineering. You do your things and let me play in my abstract sandcastle. The real world sucks.
I believe IQ measurements become more or less useless after 120-130 as these people are capable of any cognitive challenge that could be faced on a day to day basis... That said, people with a higher IQ who have the possibility to become geniuses face a plethora of requirements that we can't currently measure which could allow them to make important breakthroughs or truly visualize the world in a different way. Still, very impressive and really shows your already explored potential!
Agreed
Ah, you put it on the "i" tab. Nice.
I watched Steins; Gate thus my IQ is quite high. I know how to use big words.
@Omar Valentini *time travel* , *microwaves* , *banana gel*
Sir I think you need to be a little less critical on yourself. You're clearly smart and its evident, even from the way you talk. I mean you could still remember sections of the IQ test hours after you sat it and you even tried to generalise it by its topics for your viewers that may want to sit it themselves. That by itself deserves some respect. Historically, smart people have denied their intelligence levels when they are told that they are as smart as they are. You sir are clearly quite gifted and even convincingly present yourself by the IQ you've been given.
Additionally, its fine if you dont agree with your score, you could try one of the many prestigious IQ tests around the globe that may give you a more accurate result (possibly with a true and exact reading of your IQ). So please instead of denying your IQ score and your intelligence, do some research around why you may gotten the score that you attained before you downgrade yourself. Furthermore, please remember that its okay and important to criticise yourself to get consistently smarter and better at whatever you do but dont be too critical with yourself as it can negatively hinder productivity and success in all strains of life. Keep up with the quality content sir, its an honour to be in the prescence of such an intellectual like yourself and remember to stay positive and focussed as these two things are the greatest catalysts of development amd success.
When you look up the definition for False humility and this video pops up.
The man is smart and he knows it
He knew he was smart. He even said he thought his iq was around 125. He just doesn’t think he’s a genius
I was expecting 140-145 before the video and it turned out to be pretty accurate.
You got a lot of skills you take for granted which many people do not have.
For example, recognize series or sums (patter recognition / good memory), doing math memes (deep understanding of a concept and linking seemingly unrelated sruff), doing math videos (problem solving skills and clear logic).
There aren't many people with all those skills in real life. You might have seen many of them whether in university or on internet, but probably a very few or none besides in those 2 places.
IMO your "improvement" from teenage years nicely shows that "intelligence" depends much more on learning than on genetics.
Congrats on the great job!
true!
Thanks! And I agree!
Nurture > nature :)
I mean people like Terence Tao or Chris Langan are a strong argument for nature but yeah (learning) habits are just as major a factor
@@activechannel80 If you have a good reference I'm curious to read. Makes sense for at least the upper extremes (say past 140) to be more biologically driven.
"When I was young, I had severe headaches all the time."
That's because of big brain growth 👉😤👈
Before the reveal: it’s between 140 and 180 isn’t it.
After reveal: called it.
I took a terrible free IQ test and got... I think it was either 129 or 139, something like that. It was really bad though. It had the Fibonacci sequence in it. I don’t think it’s a good idea to put recognizable sequences in test measuring intelligence.
You can take a mensa test also online
@@trollloloololooo yes, however that test isn't anywhere near the actual tests
excatly there is a lot of math questions on most IQ tests and people that do a lot of math have clear advantage over those that dont

"I dont want to brag about my IQ or anything, its just for the clickbait."
Would you say the test questions favor those with a math background?
Partly, yes
When I took it there were many questions that were just "solve this system of equations" word problems about buying pens and pencils at certain price points. Anyone who's thought about algebra in the last month or so would do fine on those.
Mensa's IQ tests rely solely on logical thinking, as opposed to Wechsler's. I personally had my IQ tested, but using the Wechsler's scale, in the context of being diagnosed as autistic. I consider myself an absolute dumbass though, ahah.
Not quite. I once took it and completely failed the memoration part (because I thought, they would come up with similar sounding, but wrong answers, but afterwards found out that remembering the first letter would've satisfied...)
@@ElchiKing Oh. Well. Apologies then. I thought the test revolved around logic and logic only, based on the pre-test and what some of my friends, who took it, told me.
I shouldn't have assumed anything.
the Wechsler scale is not the same as mensas right? If you score 120 on Wechsler, its not the same as scoring 120 on mensas, right?
@@THEMRblackboy7thst It's not, indeed.
@@loustoc so if i score 126 in wechesler iq test, do you know how much that is in the normal scale?
Glad to know that your dispute with Mensa Germany got resolved peacefully. Also, the revised editing is very smooth-one can't tell that you've cut out some parts. I can guess where, but that's only because you said so.
The only inexplicable part is why you don't want to know your revised score. You don't intend to join Mensa, but you did take their IQ test ... so it must be for the IQ score, right? 😜
What was the dispute over?
@@Adam-pk7go I would like to know too

You have 2d anime girls around the house, of course you are gifted.
I did IQ test at psychologist and scored above average. I can't do well under pressure so don't know how much accurate my score is.
I'd be curious to see if a second test improves the number. I'd also be curious if you would take another in 10 years, 20 years, 30 years if the score differs. Ten years ago I had taken Mensa's test twice and the second time I scored slightly higher.
However, due to a bit of declining health, I now feel like I would not do as well. (I never actually joined Mensa although I was invited as I truly didn't feel it would add value to my life.)
You didnt miss out. Mensa has a habit of attracting narcissists.
@@ethanneal8158 Friend's mom was one. You can imagine how annoying it was growing up and seeing her.. Even more so when se was not really that bright! I always had to explain things to her the simplest way till se could understand. She really liked to think she was right even when she was not.
Sry for any miss spellings as I got dyslexia and english is not my first language lol.
Your IQ does decline as you get older, but physically exercising can maintain fluid intelligence. There is some variance in tests, and if you repeat IQ tests your score will increase but your inherent cognitive abilities stay the same.
There’s studies on all the questions you asked

@@rafaelo6198 What do you mean no? The SD in the IQ tests from Mensa in the UK is 24 points. You are in the top 1% if you score above 155 points. If that is different in Germany then fine but I doubt it.

Lol I did the Mensa IQ test when I was your age and never went to any meetings. It was just a 'prove that no one is better than you' kind of thing. The fact is, though, that people with much lower IQs than mine are indeed better than me in their domain...
I had a falling out with a friend bcs she was into the Mensa stuff and joined it. It can have exactly 2 purposes for people: 1) asocial and unsecure people that want a place to connect with others that are also nerdy 2) people that think they are god‘s gift and need an ego boost.
@@screwhalunderhill885 I don’t think people who think they’re god’s gift need an ego boost

Same lol. Was like "bro you're probably at _least_ 2 sigma". So yeah, 3 sigma is not surprising for Papa Flammy - much envy!
Same
He's just studied more than you have. You can actually grow smarter. Not sure if the iq actually improves, but my brain at least gets faster and gets to know and understands more stuff as I progress in my studies.
@@roc6596 Unfortunately, IQ doesn't increase with studying regardless of the subject of studies. It's pretty much immutable and although you can study to get to your "peak potential" IQ, once you achieve it, you're pretty much done (although there _are_ promising studies regarding Dual-N-Back improving working memory, leading to increases in IQ). But my understanding is that if you start out, say at 115, and have a peak potential IQ of 130 (dependent on IQ test practice, etc.), you'll only ever be able to get to that 130.
What you're talking about has probably more to do with synthesis and crystallized IQ - you study more, you have more connections to make and thus able to understand even new concepts that much faster. Sort of like polyglots learning their n-th language. But fluid/general IQ is still sort of the top speed at which you'll be able to make those connections.
@@szymonskrabanek5327 Well, yes. That's what I tried to say. Still, that's enough for the majority of us to learn and do the majority of things, I suppose. But is there a limit to accumulated knowledge, or the limit exists only in our "processing" speed, if I'm even saying something that makes sense lol. Thx for the info nonetheless.

I love how you show your entire image of yourself break apart in the end. The realisation of it being so much harder to teach math to everyone and make it be as simple to them as it is to you.
I'll just stay in my bubble where I think it's all easy to teach with enough effort and enjoyment on the pupil's side.. I'm not ready to assume anything outside one sigma deviation 😂
Yeah. I am a math major too, with an interest in education so the obvious path was to go into mathematics teaching. My young naive self really thought that anyone could be taught any math of any level, if only we could find the right way.
Then, for the first time in my life, I banged my head against a topic I was just too dumb to ever grasp. It's strange - it wasn't the first hard course, or the first exam I failed... I didn't even fail the exam, in fact. But in all the other courses, I never lost the certainty that with sufficient time and effort I could come to master the topic. Not so for dread Algebraic Surfaces. That course is completely beyond me, no matter the effort and time I expend. If this is how people feel about maths, then teaching is a lost cause.
The IQ test comes with memorisation nearly all mathematician of the mankind would get a low score.
Also Einstein even throw that paper in garbage.
Actually no, most mathematicians get more than 130+ iq, which means that there's some correlation.
Also, it depends on the kind of test and the country you're testing in.
Anyways it's a fun little piece of paper, dismissing it would be pretty ignorant, and fully confirming it would be ignorant, at the end it's just a statistical comparison between you and the population.
@@chunchunmaru3644 hmm but i don't think iq tests test your iq, actually iq is a human made concept which means you are testing your iq with the help of your brain and also making that iq test with your brain so ironical. But he said that we actually have to memorise the things so it really doesn't test your thinking capacity...
@@raghav9o9 IQ is a human made statistical concept, it doesn't measure your intelligence, just how you measure up compared to the rest of the population (percentile), so even if everyone in the world got twice as smart overnight, their iq theoretically wouldn't change.
Working memory is important too, the more you can memorize instantaneously, the more efficient your thinking will be.
@Pew Pie well didn't he delete his video
@@raghav9o9 you can text your brain with your brain
The test you took seems like being very similar to the one I took a while ago at Mensa.
The IQ kind of measures the skillset you need in mathematics and other similar fields. If I'm not mistaken, people with a bachelor or similar in maths have an average IQ of something between 125 and 130 and the average master in said fields is gifted.
145 also means, that you got most of the questions correct.
Depending on the exact test, I took IBF-S back then, they measure a little bit above 145, but you need to get basically everything right which was, at least like 2 or 3 years ago, never achieved.
The 100 percentile means, that there are 0 percent of people who scored better than you.
I myself am pretty bad at remembering things...
I just gave 2 or 3 ansers in the section the different companies with products, prices and country or in the country-map section, where you needed to remember boundaries and flags of not existing countries.
Congrats or something, but as you said: It's just a number.
Doesn't really change anything. 👍
:)
I was under the impression that an IQ test is quite heavily focused on your abstract thinking, so people with a strong math/physics background perform well. But im thinking that its much more difficult to measure creativity, and honestly speaking (as a physicist myself) its this creativity which distinguishes the average (like myself) from the truly elite.
Creativity has no correlation to intelligence as it's such a subjective quantity to score
Can't measure creativity it is a gift from another dimension.
Yes it’s true, professional Mathematicians and physicists have an average IQ between 135-145. This is due to high levels of abstract thinking, reasoning and complex problem solving skills that are picked up while studying these subjects. The average IQ of professional Chemists and Biologists however drops massively, they average between 120-130, this is due to a lack of abstraction and more focus on rote learning. So yes your hypothesis is correct, the more exposure to abstract thinking = the higher your IQ will be.
@@stolen.teh.tealeafs From the best psychological research we have, iq is correlated with intelligence. Not an extremely strong correlation, but the correlation is still there
I know a guy who keeps bragging about his IQ (edit: he does have an above average IQ), and whenever someone upsets him, he'll say "well some people are just lower IQ" as a way of calling them stupid. Thing is, he is definitely not a very smart or "gifted" person, so it makes me cringe whenever he does that. Having an above average IQ does not mean you are a smart person.
I really do not want to take an IQ test, as I have always felt smarter than most people my age (I have been really good at math and science, and have been quick to learn languages, but always hated subjects that involved just memorizing), but don't think my IQ is very high. Regardless if I would score high or not, I wouldn't want to know that number, and I definitely wouldn't want to brag about it.
That is incompetence at work, being full of yourself for your IQ is going to harm your productivity and learning curve. Or another way might be to be subconsciously aware of your intelligence, but not to pay much attention to it.
I knew a guy in high school who legitimately had a 155 iq. He definitely had a huge ego from it, and it probably hurt his productivity. He got a full ride to college despite giving 0 effort in school. Literally fell asleep during tests. The thing is, he didn’t end up reaching his potential at all. He went to a decent school, but much worse than he could’ve gotten into had he tried. I know this because his brother also had a 155iq and did not use it as an excuse to slack off. His brother took 15+ AP classes and got a perfect score in all of them, allowing him to go to Oxford and become very successful.
It's funny. I had a similar reaction to yours a couple of years ago. I "scored" a 155 in a WAIS 4 test through my licensed psychologist and immediately lost any respect on the notion of IQ. I consider myself an average person borderline stupid tbh despite somehow managing to get an Engineering degree.
It's just a worthless number.
I almost died when i scored 16x in WISC IV
PS: in reality im actually dead
The average person can't get an engineering degree
When he said he was surprised I thought it would be like 130 and then he says 145 lol 5head over here
I’m in Mensa, and I’m not surprised about your results at all :)
I’m pondering your “I feel like a retard” comment despite you scoring very highly in IQ. Accurate or not, the fact that you’ve pursued higher level mathematics as a field is an indicator of itself. Perhaps your comment is because you’re intelligent enough to recognize abstract logic smarts isn’t enough when evaluating the whole of your human mental abilities-that this test only measures one part of your intelligence. It doesn’t measure emotional intelligence or how intelligent you are at analyzing other people’s motives and intentions, then being able to use that knowledge to your advantage-you need “people” or street smarts too in navigating society and being able to push for changes that align with your interests. However, putting yourself down like that because you don’t feel like you measure up in some way isn’t healthy.
Bullshit. Intelligence helps you in obtaining "street smarts" just as much as it helps you in learning carpentry.
There is no "emotional intelligence" either. Observing other people is a learned behavior and mild emotions is a character trait.
@@MrCmon113 It's possible to be above average in one field and below average in another.. There is stuff that doesnt easily translate
@@misterg3tr3kt11
There is penguins in Germany. That doesn't mean that penguins's tendency to live in the Southern hemisphere is a useless observation.
@@misterg3tr3kt11 Yes that's possible however IQ is a weighted average of all of these fields that you're referring to. You can't really score a 145 if you don't have the capability to be emotionally intelligent to a high degree.
Nah, it's just that the more intelligent you are the more you realize your limitations and, hence, how stupid you truly are. Then when you observe that most of humanity has even more intellectual limitations than you do, you lose any modicum of respect for humanity that you might have once naively held.
I had similar headaches when I was a teenager and I still have it today but less frequently. I also did an IQ test and got 145. I'm also 26 now. Ich spreche auch Deutsch. I'm starting to think that we are basically the same person living in different universes.
