IQ, or intelligence quotient, is used to explain a general concept of intelligence. Gamers on average tend to have a higher IQ, but this does not equate to success. While IQ can lead to more success, there are other factors that Dr. Alok Kanojia talks about in discussing why IQ isn't everything.
In this video, Dr. K explains why IQ isn't everything.

Im going to binge this entire channel
Same
Thats where Im at rn
Me too except a year later xD
This is what i did
This is worth it, i learned so much it changed my life for the better (it's good to watch these "actively" and to truly understand what is said)
I am binging K’s content right now
"Everyone on the internet has an IQ of at least 130." -Albert Einstein
Haha
People irl too if you ask them
16 year old: takes online IQ test after retesting 5 times scoring above average
This comments section: ‘it’s hard being brilliant’
After I got around 110 in an online IQ test as a 10-year-old I pretty much became the personification of /r/iamverysmart
@@IIIlIl i got 131 the other day. Think my iq is between 120-130. IQ tests are timed, which makes me think, would most people eventually get the right answer if given enough time? If so, then that implies the average person is indeed capable of above average problem solving (in the eyes of society), it would just take a much longer time. But if it repeated enough, would they become faster? And thus in the eyes of iq tests, smarter.
secondly, education has been proven to increase IQ.
thirdly, exercise has shown to have a tremendous positive effect on the brain, which probably means it increases intelligence and thus iq. Apparently after an exercise session, BNDF gets released in the brain which makes people learn things much faster than they normally would.
all of this points to the conclusion that IQ is in fact changeable. The brain literally changes when you learn new skills.
another thing im wondering is whether logical precision increases exponentially as intelligence increases linearly.
besides, what does intelligence help you do? It helps you problem solve, think abstractly, and critically think. But all of those abilities can be targeted individually. you can increase your ability to problem solve if you train it or your ability to think abstractly and manipulate variables and all of that.
dont underestimate the potential of the average human mind. Most people never reach their full potential. explore the unexplored dimensions of your mind and you will be surprised
@@kawosdhdos kinda, iq its mainly pattern finding, so as long as you dont kill yourself in the process you will eventually find the correct awnser, just like the wright brothers, you might need less fails if you have a high iq, but that doesnt mean you have the solution granted either.
@@IIIlIl iq tests are made to be taken early, it’s true online tests are harder, as they target more older individuals. It’s still mostly problem solving, word questions etc…
Edit: realising this was 2 years ago lol
This dude just reads us like books, i love it
@Natty R It's literally not a strawman tho. He just proves the point that there is in fact a correlation between what we perceive as intelligence and IQ-tests. Since people with down syndrome are intellectually disabled, they will score lower on an IQ test. I think everybody can agree on the fact that people suffering from down syndrome are in fact less intelligent than the average human, and therefor validates IQ tests as a measurement of intelligence since they score several points lower on it.
@Natty R Why would you have the opinion of calling this media "shallow"? He was fluid-moving through-out the whole video and it's already a decent 17 minute video. I'm pretty sure the shallowness that you ascribe is rather him succinctly enveloping the core topic he was trying to elucidate and had no need to elaborate any further, having done his job and proved his perspective. I think this video isn't aimed for you as an audience; if your points were logically correct it would be inherently fallacious because your perspective to base your opinion of the video off of doesn't properly follow with his intended purpose of the media. That purpose being to teach the uninformed something of value. Your intent and argument would there be misplaced.
"Clearly educated by books." Just do you have no respect for knowledge or do you think that because any idea can and has been thought before that it has no value!?
Also yes I rambled a super long comment and was not very succinct myself hahaha.
@Natty R shush mate
@Natty R you could've used a few spanks in childhood to improve your EQ. Or now.
iq predicts your ability to comprehend rick and morty
An important skill
'Rick and Morty Fans refers to a series of jokes, memes and references to the self-congratulatory nature that some perceive fans of the animated television series Rick and Morty posses. Most of the jokes focus on fans of the show seeing themselves and the show to be hyper-intelligent and thus only accessible to a select few.'
- Know your meme
Lmao
Rick and Morty comprehension to be used as an IQ metric.

13:59 dropping some real wisdom. Very well spoken.
He Is Believing people Like Him
Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Tesla Owner Etc That Have IQ And They Might Have Low EQ In Their 20s
But The Thing Is That If People Have Introversion And They Might Have Low Time To Spend With People They Might Have Good Social Skills And They Might Be Labeled As Shy, Annoying And They Might Be Labeled As Low EQ.
EQ Is Also Not Everything The Thing is that EQ And IQ Are Just Aspects
Intelligence Is Defined How Much We Crave For Learning Things
Remember people: There's no shame in having low IQ. Just as there is no shame in having low physical strength. We all have our positives (pros) and negatives (cons), and that's why I always tell myself and others that you should play to your strengths. Just like in video games, an offensive character is best used offensively and not defensively. And a defensive character is best used defensively, not offensively. You gotta play to your strengths.
I've been ok with having low IQ - but my parents always had an issue with my terrible academic ability. Luckily im an artist now - and studying that shit is difficult - but the concepts are pretty much all mechanical/visual; you can not read a single paragraph of information to be good at it, which works for me.
@@Balloonbot Academic ability has more to do with conscientiousness than with IQ. This is why for example creativity (a form of high IQ) and academia is negatively correlated. There are also many high IQ people who detest academic work. However, having high IQ is of course helpful in academia, but it isn't everything.
@@4xzx4 Makes sense, as im pretty low in that too. High in openness though - but i have to still struggle through organisation and scheduling. Difficult to avoid.
@@Balloonbot Yeah, and it is nothing wrong with that, even though society favours those that are high in conscientiousness. High in openness is the biggest indicator of being creative. Use that to your advantage! =) You can't really schedule thoughts - they come and go as they please lol.
@@4xzx4 some problem is that with those personality a lot of us become loser like bobby fisher. Because society like something stable not to much chaos and we is those chaos and we can't do hard work with stable then it very hard for we can success
This applies well to me. I’ve tested in the top 99.9% of iq yet I still have such a weak grasp on my life. I have little self control and I’ve developed a very fixed mindset over the years. It’s both reassuring and anxiety inducing that my success is essentially entirely in my own hands.
I have some similar issues. Not nearly in that high of an IQ bracket but sometimes it sucks to admit that responsibility and discipline are the shitty pills you gotta swallow. Hope youve made some steps forward since posting this!
DR.K : gamers are smarter than the average ppl.
My soloq teammates: U MEANT THE OPPOSITE?
I was tested as a kid to have pretty high IQ. Could have skipped grade 3 back then, but stayed in my class for all the friends I had.
Always thought I had a above average IQ, but like you said that's not all there is to it. Finished school and started university but never finished it, now at 28 I'm kind of floating around with a part time job and constant thoughts about a side business. Started developing a gambling addiction at one point in my life and could never get rid of it.
I was also never a hard worker, always looked for a way to make stuff more simple and plan out my actions without actually ever doing it.
Everytime I really wanted to become good at something, I made it happen. Back then I started playing League of Legends and reached a decent rank (Platinum 1) in a few months of playing it, highest rank of all time was Masters.
The problem is, I barely ever use my full capability to become good at things outside of gaming
Sounds like you just had bad parents
I kinda have similar experience. Back in middle school i got an IQ test, and turned out my score was 136. But actually i was kinda mid student, i achieved nothing, but my performance in school still top 20% (i guess).
Everything started to fucked up in uni. Now im in my 6th years of uni with no sign will graduate soon. Im stuck and keep procrasinating, avoiding my final project.
Man, I don’t even have the patience or willpower to get good at games… For example, I play OW casually because it’s the only free multiplayer game my friend group plays… like at all. So if we’re going to play games online, it’s going to be that, but I’m still so shit at it even though I’ve played it for quite a while. I’m kinda burnt out on games anyways, ESPECIALLY OW. Computer’s been kaput for a few days due to a dying hard drive and I’ve felt zero desire to get back to it even though I was addicted to games, just replaced it with more 24/7 internet time though. The thing is though is that I don’t really have the desire to become good at anything like video games or even just life. I feel like I’m decently smart because I went through schooling pretty easily and the supposed need to do well in school was enough of a reason to do well as I didn’t question it, but as soon as I hit college I only got 1 semester in before I quit, and I didn’t even finish those 1st semester classes. That was probably 2-3 years ago by now lol. I think it doesn’t help I’ve been what I’d call depressed for a very long time, especially these days, but I don’t even have the desire or willpower to do better or move on with my life.
interesting. It does require a lot of patience to become good at games. And I think I don't even have it anymore these days, I used to play much more back then. In a situation like yours maybe going to the gym or doing some sport will help out, if you don't know what to do, you can atleast get in the best shape of your life. It will certainly have some kind of positive effect @@hectichive889
IQ is just 1 of the many aspects
Dr. K, your methodology and logical connections, and the way you express them are super informative and helpful to me, personally. I think you do a great job of expressing complex ideas to the gamer market! I found you through your discussion with Reckful, and have since binged on your vids - insightful and thought provoking! Keep it up!
Our teacher and the textbooks always had extra things for the faster kids in math. Still gravitated towards video games though :D
The thing about high IQ people is that they learn things really quickly. If you take somebody with an average to above average IQ, they can understand just about everything that a really high IQ person can but it takes a lot longer for the information to penetrate. If you’ve ever been around somebody that’s really really smart, they see patterns quicker than normal people.
That's not necessarily true. For example, if you administer an IQ test especially designed to test for very high intelligence to someone with very low intelligence, that person will likely never find out which pattern represents the correct answer, even if you give them unlimited time. This is an abstract example but the same applies to real life bahviour. You will probably not find someone with an IQ of
gustav gans I agree with you. This is why I said average to above average IQ. If somebody has a very low IQ they won’t be able to process complex information no matter how many times you explain it to them.
@@benjacobs2560 I'm not so sure about that but also have no proof either way. The reason I doubt it is that I once took an IQ test that has a pretty high upper limit. The test had like 56 problems that got progressively harder and no time limit. Even though my IQ is easily a standard deviation above average, for the last few questions it was nearly impossible for me to find the pattern. I suppose I could have structured my thoughts and written it all down in a matrix or something, but I'm not even sure about that. Obviously this is just a meaningless anecdote, but I still believe that there are some things so complex that even relatively smart people can't figure out.
Fucking this. IQ determines if you master a job in a single shift or 6 weeks+
If a job exists it's trainable. If it's trainable IQ is rather irrelevant and it's now a question of how long does an employer want to train someone.
@@gustavgans9082 Did you took JCTI from XAvier Jouve .
IQ extends your limit, you choose if you want to reach your limit
yes
Replace “IQ” with intelligence.
@@Meow-gp5nk That's a bold statement considering *no one* can agree on what "intelligence" is, what it consists of, and how to measure it.
@@Meow-gp5nk What?
Mr Meow but measuring intelligence is irrelevant to the comment I was replying to. In other words, it makes more sense to say that intelligence is conducive to success rather than IQ.
I feel kind of left out watching this as i have always been a gamer but i never felt like i was above average IQ, i still have the same problems of procrastination and fear of failing.
The only way to know for sure is to sit an IQ test with a trained Psychologist.
how good were your SATs?
Just found this channel. It’s a gem
Dude, I absolutely love your channel. Keep up the great content!
IQ is a good predictor of how well you can recognize patterns and pick out important information.
But if Van Gogh had taken an IQ test, it wouldn't have shown him that he was a good painter.
I kept laughing at some points, because it described me almost exactly. I've been a slacker most my life and have gotten by doing the bare minimum most of the time. I tend to learn very quickly, but also forget really quick too. My ego got inflated due to it and I never really instilled good study habits. I get to college and I can no longer get by without studying and whatnot. Instead of facing the music, I dropped out and got addicted to video games. My escape or my way to not beat myself over it was just telling myself how I'm smarter than average, and that was enough. Talk about an eye opening moment.
I took a test at 12 years old, where the result was 136. Granted the test did take my age into consideration. Having a high IQ is great in a lot of areas. I didn't study all through primary school, but still got straight a's. But now i feel like i lack motivation, and now in high school i am too arrogant, and still dont study, which is very stupid. Anyway, what i'm trying to say is that one also needs to be careful not to become arrogant. Because in order to suceed you need to work hard, no matter how high the IQ, and no matter how high the EQ...
I'm the same, I scored around the same too when I was 12 and at the time me being smart was everything to me, as time went on became completely unmotivated due to depression and loneliness, and only now I am trying to actually study and be productive and I'm about to graduate high school. I feel like I wasted years sometimes, but it was a necessary low.
It's hard to become arrogant at 136 IQ if you surround yourself and engage with 140+ IQ.
It's easy to punch below your weight and feel special, but there's always someone who makes you feel inadequate if you search in the right places.
LARP.
I got the same score back in middle school. But i hide it and didnt tell anyone about it. Cause all of my friends got lower IQ score than me yet their perfromance in school are so much better than me. So i feel ashamed of it, and just didnt tell anyone about my IQ score.
What have you accomplished.
In general, I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that there is more of an emphasis on rote factual memorization in Indian cultural. That could have something to explain the preponderance of Indian students in medical school. Also, the culture pushes forward the belief that doctor/engineer are the only "acceptable" careers. Would love to hear your thoughts.
I really like this video a lot. When I was younger I was a much slower learner either because of the way things were taught to me, lack of being pushed at times, or just developing slower at first I'm not sure but as I got older my ability to learn things and comprehend increased through middle school and high school. My IQ is average or so and I believe I'm much higher in other areas but I believe a lot of different factors determine an individuals intelligence. I also believe that an individual person can be much more intelligent in a given field than another or a given type of thinking, Everyone as strengths and weaknesses, I always loved video games as a hobby but in middle school on I learned more about history, civics, and even economics more from games than school. Still to this day algebra and most forms of math are my weakness haha and is something I want to improve along with other things as I age. I always did well with geometry, and basic math but algebra and more complex stuff stumpt me idk why and it was hard for me to write it down and come to a conclusion but I could think about it logically in my head and figure it out. My grandparents and most people around me were not good at algebra for the most part and early school just didn't interest me for a long time.
Another thing about video games that I enjoy is that you get instant and fair feedback on how well you did, which is hardly ever achieveable in the real world.
Making drinks at Starbucks is highly stimulating for me. I love it when we're busy and sometimes I'm making 6 drinks at a time. It's beautiful. Makes me feel the way I do when I play Overwatch.
i felt the same way working lunches at subway. it lasted for about a month. it’s great that you can find fulfillment in your work duties now, and if you can do that forever i’m happy for you. but you can get that same rush and also do something genuinely productive, beyond making some prick a coffee or sandwich

I'm around 80 and it's hard... I feel your pain.
cuz geniuses are lazy, dumb people run the world
How did you test yourself?
5:30 that's literally what happened to me
Until they had a dude working there that would pick pages from higher classes books and just cross out the repetitive stuff
I would just doodle and then not have any homework so I played RuneScape, CS and Link's Awakening
My IQ is 127 from the test averages I got, and while its not that exceptional, supposedly I shouldn't be dumb. Yet I am. Focus is crap. Long term memory recall is bollocks. Short term memory is in shambles.
And my work ethic is a bloody wreck.
I procrastinate endlessly and only under gut wrenching stress do I usually pull off something.
Discipline, focus, and emotional intelligence seem to be much more decisive factors imo.
People can have all three, or at the very least the first two, without having more than average intelligence.
Your willingness to break down mental hurdles and avoid immediate satisfaction sources, plus a laser like focus, can carve you a long path in life.
Maybe not of the same potential of a person with more fluid intelligence, but you can still get really far with those traits.
I took a mensa test and I passed it by around 10 IQ points, putting me in the top 0.5% IQ, however I certaibly wouldn't even put myself as top 5% intelligence, due to factors like my EQ being so low lol
Same.

Wasn’t financial stress shown to be a significant factor in practical IQ? Something like individuals who see financial burden had an IQ loss of 12 points from the mean on average than when they were not stressed.
yes!! when you're poorer financial dimensions become more salient and attending to that takes up some of your cognitive capacity
Can someone increase their iq?
Since finding out about you from Reckfuls streams, I keep checking up on your content because you're a pretty amazing guy. Keep up what you do, it's very important !
IQ is a number that shows how good you are at solving IQ tests. Which, yes, does test a few skills, and some of us - like those with Dawn syndrome - will have very hard time getting them. And it also correlates with doing well in school, because the skills that are tested are the same or similar skills to the ones your teacher is looking for (and training).
"Intelligence" as a concept is a bit of a problem. It's just "smart" but in a sciency way. It pretends to be precise when it isn't, and it doesn't really seem to exist. Just a concept slapped on a few arbitrarily chosen skills/abilities of the mind that have been poorly stitched together and called a thing.
I often found myself self-sabotaging academically in high school in order to pull myself back from the brink of failure after a bunch of zeros as if style points mattered. I look back with a lot of embarrassment of how proud I was when I got a 65 for my final quarter of European history but salvaged an A- with a 98 on the final exam. I hid an inability to sit down and get anything done without the consequence of a teacher's watchful eye under the guise of a philosophical stance against homework on material I had clearly mastered. When I got to a point in university that I couldn't rely on that, I basically completely crumbled.
If I remember correctly you only need an IQ of ~115 in order to be capable of doing every job on the planet sufficiently. The average is 90-110.
I have an iq of 107
How will I do?
@@anormalguy511 depends on the job. scientist or ceo? good luck.
but you can do most of anything at that level.
@@drooskie9525 you cant become a ceo with average IQ. Unless its a very small business ofc
Hm... when I found out that I have an IQ of 130 I actually felt really relieved and happy because I didn't have to worry about it anymore
Before I had that information, I would ,every time I did something stupid, get really sad and asked myself if I really was smart or not and mostly thought I wasn't (probably because we humans tend to see the negative more than the positive). But now I feel kind of free of this fear even though I often dont think its accurate(its probably lower than 130)
@@realPidge what's your score?
The life is more complex than just one number.
IQ is not everything, but it is something we can objectively define, unlike "intelligence". This is what makes it the most important thing. It is important to have words, which mean the same for all people.
14:01 this is ABSOLUTE gold
@Hi How Are You? i dont think he counts the i play candy crush every 2 days for 30minutes as gamers.
the above are counted in a lot of statistics regarding gaming
@Hi How Are You? logically speaking it does make sense imo, but you can go on the discord if youd like, theres a "question" thing, where you just dm a bot and afaik dr K will answer every sunday (sometimes more often)
edit: also, i dont think he should ccount the ones mentioned earlier. but that depends on the "range" you would be scaling it down to, nothing with right or wrong
@Hi How Are You? It's not about ability, it's about interest. People gravitate towards different things based on various factors, one of those being IQ. And it's all about stimulation and what one gets out of an activity emotionally. If you're slow, life is already pretty challenging itself for you, and it provides good stimulation to your brain to not be bored. But if you do things below your capacity you become bored, whether you're slow or fast doesn't matter. The opposite is also true, as in if something is too challenging and you keep failing or being bad at it with no sight of improvement you also become bored of that activity.
This is why we see a correlation between IQ and gaming in general, and that's because it's an easy way to create challenges for kids that are not intelectually stimulated enough with just life.
So smart kids develop an interest in games and play them. Doesn't mean that slow people don't. But there's a greater chance that a high IQ individual develops an interest in gaming.
@Hi How Are You? If you're so uncertain about all this why not look up the statistic itself? If you google it there's a study from the US department of defence that provides proof for his claim.
@Hi How Are You? You're missing the point that the term gamers is almost exclusively used for the crowd of players that play games _a lot_. "and who plays for usually long periods of time." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamer This is significant because it dethrones your whole argument about accessibility. Even the military which open recruits anyone who can get muscles and follow orders, finds patterns in their own personnel who play games more to have higher intelligence. I'm going to comment this and not come back cause I'm pretty sure you are arguing against the video on the basis of your own incorrect nit-picking.
Another problem with IQ and intelligence (which are different concepts, despite what people like to think) stems from what metric you're using to gauge how intelligent someone is. Considering there are many theories of intelligence, such as in the case of Charles Spearman, Thurnstone, Howard Gardner, etc., there is not an entirely uniform way to approach this topic.
Yes let’s not generalize that all gamers are smart...just like you say IQ isn’t everything similarly playing video games isn’t everything when it comes to inteligence
what dr k is simply saying is that smart people gravitate towards games and not people that gravitate towards games are smart lol , gaming is getting popular and there are just more absolute horeshit brained people playing videogames and then these horeshits would misinterpret what dr k said lol
Thats what i was thinking IQ can't be the only factor and hearing u say about EQ makes much sense..
Growing up people often said I was a smart kid
Like my parents often said that I have good vocabulary like I knew words that other kids my age didn’t know
Plus I’m a good listener so if I hear a song once or watch a movie once I could quote it word for word
My parents even called me a little genius because of the big words I knew and I didn’t actually know what the words meant I just quoted them
But I wouldn’t call myself a genius because I struggle in math and even spelling because of my dyslexia
I feel like I’m more of a creative genius because I’m very creative I have ideas and I’m working on getting better at my art skills and becoming an animator and game developer
I also have autism and it is known that people with autism can just suck up the information of a thing that interests them
Like we can suck up knowledge like a sponge
So I think genius comes in many forms
And lastly there’s this one quote that I always remember “the trick to being a genius is to knowing your not one” basically just be humble
I would love to see this guy have a conversation with Scott Kaufmann on IQ.
That part around the 15 minute mark. I’ve never been so understood by anyone in my life❤️❤️
The anecdote you gave at 5:00, I had an exactly identical experience when I was a young child. I’ve never understood this to be a common experience. Love what you are doing. 😁
lol was starting to think is this dude me? , it was literally 2nd grade when that shit happened
lol why do you have karlyn borysenko as you profile pic
I thought EQ was correlated at .95 with trait agreeableness. I might be wrong on that, but I'm certain I heard it was pretty much eaten up by personality traits.
Jordan Peterson misled you. EQ fails to test for success once IQ and the big 5 personality traits are controlled for, this is not to say it does not exist or that it does not have its utility.
@@dahadahaful isn't that like selecting for the big five traits (at the facet level) that are the best predictors of (say) income, calling it "MyConcept.txt" and saying it exists?
Disagree about food workers not being sufficiently challenged by their work. Keep in mind in this comment I'm not blaming "the worker", but I'm saying the opportunity is there. They might not challenge themselves, but as someone who worked in one of those places, there are a million things to think about or do at any time. It never stops because you're short-staffed and every second is an opportunity to take if you think about it all the time. A burger flipper doesn't simply flip burgers. If one were to work at a place that's empty as shit, sure, they wouldn't need to do much. But if it's anywhere close to being "busy", any worker can fire up their brains, to lengths equal or higher than I get when I play games. (tho it's probably because working there made me fueled by stress and paranoia to be fair lmao)
He says he's not good at acquiring knowledge yet, has a video in where he talks about how he only studied for two hours in medical school.
Hmmm...............
Taco Cat dunning Kruger effect. He is at the point where he is humble. He probably has met or knows of people who can acquire knowledge way better then he can. Which makes him less confident in his clearly exceptional skills.
@@michaelvandevusse3728 Yeah, you're probably right. He's probably humble because of them and his low gpa in college which makes him think he's average or just like anyone else. He has to understand he's a harvard faculty member and both his parents are doctors. He's human like everyone else and just as falliable but his humbleness gives him a skew view on his abilities. I could be wrong which I am open to, always.
well the time he spent studying in a day is more than me in a week excluding classes =))
@@HaPham-jn7jk your anecdote is irrelevant. the point was, passing medical school with just 2 hrs a day is amazing. maybe you are smarter but that's not the point
Rayyan A dude can’t u see the joke? Of course only study for 2 hours perday for medical school is good cuz everyone knows it’s super hard. But im just making a joke about how lazy i am. Chill out
IQ is a straight up predictor of success, the ability to find a way to achieve your goal. It IS the intelligence. What it doesn't account for is the input. We receive different inputs throughout our lives, we set different goals to ourselves and different definitions of success. The manner in which the goal is achieved can be a part of the goal, thus shifting the definition of success yet again, as well as the ability (or inability) to see through the abstract concepts and limiting (or freeing) oneself from self imposed constraints that are set for no reason other than pure whim, is reflecting on the IQ score by definition - as either hindrance or the boost to the speed and the quality of achieving ones goal.
I have an iq of over 135, and by standart definitions i am a failure, yet i am successful in the goals i set to myself. I can do whatever i want and i don't want to do anything other than the stuff that i'm already doing, and i'm really good at setting my life in such a way that i have the ability to keep doing the stuff that i want to do. I want to do more, but this want is of lesser priority to the main goal of staying where i'm currently am due to one of the main conditions i measure my own success being the lack of mistakes.
I wish that understanding this meant anything in terms of my actual output.
@@Zozo-dh6tv Conflating the metric and the measurement would be a mistake, yes. That's how those 200 iq freaks pop out - they aren't actually smarter than every single human being that ever lived, they just practice IQ tests 24\7.
However, if don't go there and have at least a couple years between each exposure, IQ is a REALLY good metric of intelligence.
IQ is NOT a predictor of success, if success is measured by material posessions, i.e. wealth, it is a hard number that does result in greater real life opportunities, unlike arbitrary achievements of goals that you set for yourself. If you want to waste some of your time, you can go and look for credible studies (because I already know, even though you made an empirical claim, it's not a claim you made based on actual research, rather your own conjecture) how IQ is correlated with success, outside of your own definition of it, which is completely vacuous and worthless to any discussion, success is not seen as subjective by any means.
"What it doesn't account for is the input" Just more conjecture of your own, refuting entire studies by simply saying "heh it's because people of high IQ's choose to use their great "intelligence" for small things, resorting to lives in median income jobs", it just so seems to happen that people of normal IQ test scores are just as likely to work high paying white-collar jobs as people with high IQ test scores. So is it then that those people are MORE likely, as opposed to the high IQ people who are less likely, to seek greater paying work? I'm not even going to seriously argue against this non-sense because it falls apart in so many ways, as expected from someone who brags about their 135+ IQ, yet chooses to be a failure and squander their "potential" because they simply don't want to do anything other than play video games.
@@king_okeydoke Nobody is interested in your projections. If i were to brag, i wouldn't choose a mark just 2 standart deviations above the median. Nothing on that was about any concious choice, "potential" discussions you can continue with your mother - i'm sure she loves those, and nobody invited you to argue about anything.
@@Mordewolt No one invited you to spread misinformation either, backing it up with your anecdotal evidence of being yet another "high IQ intellectual", yet seem to fare like any other idiot.
Mate, i don't know which test or scale you've used to measure your IQ(Stanford-Binet, Raven's Progressive Matrices, some variant of WAIS etc...), which means i can't tell if it's your Fluid IQ, Crystallized IQ, Verbal, Visual, Numerical, Working memory or processing speed you've measured there... Anyhow, an IQ of 135 on any scale is classified as very high or superior(probably Mensa worthy), which should mean it's likely your brain operates, under normal circumstances, with any cognitively loaded material a lot better than your average person. It's likely you were an early achiever and you probably had an easy time learning things or some stuff straight up bored you in school.
You can absolutely expect, with an IQ that high, to pick almost any subject up and learn it in reasonable time given appropiate effort and work ethic.
It is also likely there is no self-set goal that is unachievable to you if you have some minimum level of concientiousness untop of your great intelligence level.
If, however, there is something about your intellectual achievements that you've failed to meet despite putting in an insane amount of effort, i would argue your intellect's actual ability to process information, aquire knowledge and use it acordingly is not actually that impressive(you're lying) or the scale you've used lacks some external validity. Thus, the "i am a failure by standard means" argument falls appart, unless you give us some more context.
That being said... What is your current job, if i may ask, or what do you do/study if you don't work?
like how this is treated so compassionately!
I subscribed to this channel because I want to know more about psychology and psychiatry and to understand how to move through this world in a efficient and effective manner without sacrificing my mental health within the rules and expectations put on me but capture the essence of myself and close the gap between my mental world and the physical world through a hierarchal understanding of levels of consciousness in a sense. I do not play video games, I was always terrible at them, and grew up with drunk parents and somewhat of an intellectual disability with an IQ of 70 along with diagnoses of autism. I always found language to be such a choppy representation of reality and required me to have mental gymnastics of careful word choice, though in which overtime culminated into more fluidity, which I also feel separated from a social hierarchy which is common amongst autistics which had me feel judged.
I was already quite arrogant.

I've always been told that since EQ doesn't correlate or predict anything it's basically impossible to say wether it really exists or not...?

EQ is basically IQ + extraversion + agreeableness + experience.
IQ is ability - personality is proclivity
@@jerrytomas3136 I didn't ask for what does EQ is ( yours is a very personal definition, btw ) but asked for scientific research which looks into proofs of its existence. To me a person who is good at reading emotions is just a person with good pattern recognition and abstraction ( in terms of he/she pays good attenction to external factors such as tone of voice and face expression and correlates to past experiences of emotions that were correlated to these kind of expressions. Also he has to be good empathize with other people which mean he's good at abstracting ) which means he just has good IQ in that matter. Ofc IQ does include more than just pattern recognition so it wouldn't necessarely correlate to really high IQ.
I don't necessarily disagree with you about whether EQ exists or not (undecided myself) but felt like commenting because you're making a particular assumption that, while perfectly reasonable, doesn't pan out in practice, which is that pattern recognition is a generalizable aptitude. (in other words, that you use a specific part of your brain for all pattern recognition-based tasks. you don't)
For example, let's ignore EQ and recognizing emotions for a second and look at two actual subdivisions of IQ: mathematical-logical and linguistic. Those are both aptitudes that involve a very high degree of pattern recognition. So naturally you'd expect people's score in one to positively correlate with their score in the other, right? But interestingly enough, it simply doesn't. In fact, the higher a person's general IQ is, the higher the discrepancy between the subdivisions gets.
Also, the way you describe what you view as EQ is self-defeating. Just look at the words you use: "pays good attention", "correlates to past experiences". These hint at active/deliberate tasks. But that's not what EQ is about. It's about innate traits, that's the entire point. It's about your ability to instinctively read people and get it right without trying too hard and without doing too much mental legwork. To give you an analogy, the way you described EQ would be as if I were to describe IQ as "the ability to arrive at correct conclusions through careful study and verifying prior sources".
As Dendi said: "MMR is just a number" but as Doctor K emphasized: "IQ is just a metric but it doesn't mean everything". So I state this: "MMR and IQ is the first stage to understand how capable you are to do something"
For how most people play games, MMR is way less meaningful than IQ.

You know, I've always loved videogames since my childhood and we were called nerd just by playing them with friends.
It's just that my self-esteem over intelligence is really low because I've heard from bullies my whole life I was dumb and stupid and despite some achievements I'm always questioning myself If I'm intelligent or not due to It, and If listening to this from Dr K don't make my think I'm smarter than an average person just because I enjoy videogames.
After getting fired from a job due to attention mistakes and getting adhd diagnosed, I got from there thinking that I was less and less inteligent, and so I've gotten depressed over It and I still doubt my capabilities.
I'm just saying that I don't see myself as super intelligent as Dr K said just because I play videogames, besides I enjoy being challenged and videogames has helped learning english and my second language(There must be many english mistakes I'm not aware on this comment due to no being my first language, but that's okay)
Also, you can be trained to get better score in IQ
it's not like it's hard-coded in your gene
Minecraftor this is false. The literature on iq training is dismal
I think telling kids they are smart gives them a false belief that things will be easier for them,so in the long run they won't train their endurance, and frustration will take its toll...sth like being attractive, you won't have problems attracting a partner but work needs to be done to keep someone...looks are important but not suficient; or being an athlete...maybe genetically you may have aptitude but if you don't challenge and put your body to the test by training several hours a day,you won't explote your potential. And just "knowing you are this or that" won't be enough, it's a tricky cognitive bias
"Some kinds of minds learn things very quickly but also forget things very quickly"
Well the real thing is you have to practice to retain information, practice is boring I never do it, it seems like it's good enough to have learned the concept and that's enough but as a result I forget everything immediately. People who don't learn patience struggle later on in life because they haven't learned practical life lessons and they have bad habits that become increasingly difficult to overcome with time.
Depends what you mean by practice to retain information. If you mean practice to memorize certain concepts so that you crystallize them/commit them to long term memory better, then yes, that's a lot of work but very rewarding in the end. If you mean practice your memory to improve your memory... that's a bit trickier. Long term memory capacity is almost entirely genetic and untrainable, recall accuracy is almost entirely genetic and untrainable; the only aptitude you can meaningfully train to a large extent is short term memory capacity, through mnemonic techniques (hence the popularity of memory competitions and other things like blind chess or blind rubik's cube solving).
Not saying that it's not important to cram and memorize stuff. Just that pushing yourself to memorize stuff won't make your brain better at memorizing stuff, so that's not a worthy goal.
@@tudornaconecinii3609 I mean to crystallize.
@@jondoh9414 cool cool
I wonder what conclusions can be drawn from the use of IQ testing in establishing empirical correlations between certain levels of intellectual functioning and their corresponding life outcomes. How can we isolate this connection in order to make sure other causal factors are not intervening in changing its dynamics? Of course, it is expected that cognitive ability located at either extreme end of the distribution will have a clearer connection to a host of behavioural outputs, but it seems it will not always be easy to determine whether such qualitative differences between people result from differences in IQ, or whether they are merely consequences of other, usually hidden variables. In the end, IQ is good only as a tool for making useful predictions, but even then it is limited and not strong enough to explain the complex interplay of cognitive and non-cognitive factors that collectively come together in a myriad of possible ways to produce the unique profile characteristic of each and every single one of our lives.
"There is no such thing as EQ. Let me repeat that: "There is no such thing as EQ." The idea was popularized by a journalist, Daniel Goleman, not a psychologist. You can't just invent a trait. You have to define it and measure it and distinguish it from other traits and use it to predict the important ways that people vary.
EQ is not a psychometrically valid concept. Insofar as it is anything (which it isn't) it's the Big Five trait agreeableness, although this depends, as it shouldn't, on which EQ measure is being used (they should all measure the same thing ). Agreeable people are compassionate and polite, but they can also be pushovers. Disagreeable people, on average (if they aren't too disagreeable) make better managers, because they are straightforward, don't avoid conflict and cannot be easily manipulated.
Let me say it again: there is no such thing as EQ. Scientifically, it's a fraudulent concept, a fad, a convenient bandwagon, a corporate marketing scheme."
Did you just quote JP tho'?
Isn't EQ just social skills?
@@juleslefumiste9204 Yeah if it's not a direct quote of JP then at least @thomas G understood it very well haha
ok nvm i just realized he literally put quotes around it. it is a JP quote
The structure of this quote is a claim followed by no supporting evidence. Granted the burden of proof is on the academics who assert EQ to be a real phenomenon. JP doesn't even attempt to dispute the evidence they've proposed.
Idk... People around me would say I'm addicted to video game... But I more see it like I'm addicted to not work the 9-5 Rat race jobs and this is an escape. I find myself thinking I want to live alone in the woods to escape all this ''averageness''. This mixed with not knowing what I want just created the me at 22, school dropout, no job, in my mom's basement playing video games... And I'm not even mad about it. I can't see or accept myself dropping low enough to do a job 9-5 anymore and just... '' You need school... You need a job... You need a Girlfriend and a house... Get kids... Grow old...'' Sounds so fucking boring and average to me it stings. Idk what to do. All I know is what I don't want... Taking a tol on my emotional state.
Sometimes find myself thinking I would like to think like some people and be ok to work just to have a break from being lost. But then this thought scares me because once you fall in this, there's very little chances to get out of it.
“Dropping low enough to do a 9-5”. Why do you see yourself above that. What about you is above average that you can’t settle for averageness. Perhaps you need some humility, and I’m not having a go at you, just making observation. I understand the thinking and have had similar thoughts. You sound hedonistic, like as long as you can pursue your pleasures, I.e video games, then it doesn’t matter who you burden around you, like your mother who’s house you live in with no expectation of evolving from that. If you truly wouldn’t mind living in the wilderness like you say - do it. Otherwise I’m gonna have to believe that’s your ego protecting you.
that sounds really egoistic of you. You don't care of being a burden to your parents and exploit their love towards you to not go to work. If you can't find a reason for yourself to go to work, then do it at least for your parents...
I bet they are mentally drained by knowing you don't do shit and aren't even providing an effort to live your own life
RealTalk If I had to guess I would say he does feel like a burden, and does care, which is why he feels this feeling of being “lost”. I think socio-environmental factors at the very least, if not just biology, mean that a work/reward system is what satisfies our brains. All reward and no work would trigger your brain that you’re doing it wrong - not supporting the colony. Ironically, a 9-5 would probably elevate his happiness a lot more than it currently is. If I understand Healthygamerggs idea of Dharma tho, a 9-5 won’t fulfill that, but at the very least it would facilitate a better mindset for finding the dharma than the stagnation he’s currently in does. I’ve been in both scenarios, stagnant for a while and now doing uni for the sake of doing it, far happier in the latter, and have waaay more ideas for what my dharma would be than I was getting while stagnant. Ultimately man just do something, anything, tough it up and don’t let ego put you above it - you’re not. Along the way if you take an earnest approach you’ll find what u want to do.
@@CB-nz7be "What about you is above average that you can't settle for averageness" Because no human being is a mere average, no human being can or should ever be categorized in such a way that pins them to some 9-to-5 job, no human being should ever be served "humility" so to put them down and limit what they can or should aspire to. The fact that someone doesn't let averageness dull them into becoming another cog in the machine is already telling that there is something not-average about them. There are obvious issues with wasting your life playing video games, but that is proof that some people require greater self-realization, not that they are meager and should accept it and cave into wage labour.
EQ is not a real thing in the sense, that it's basically a different name for agreeableness.
...is it? People generally like others who are honest, and they don't always like a person if they agree with their positions all the time. Or maybe you include this honesty in your perspective of agreeableness?
@@benababas Sorry, could have formulated a bit more clear. If you do a multifactor analysis of the thing, you will see that it has a 0.9 correlation(don't quote me on this, i'm not entirely sure if i remembered that correctly) with trait agreeableness from the big five.
No...
I think there's a lot more complexity to it than just that, EQ also includes motivation and a lot of other important stats.

They also kept re-teaching English. Shit i learned in literal elementary school i still had to sit through in HS bc alot of kids still didnt know shit.
If it's not everything, then it's still something - And that something is an actual hurdle for people to reach their goals. IQ is so depressing to think about; since it's so hard to know if you are qualified or not to pursue a certain career; basket ball being a lot easier to define do-able, in which if you're too short it's easier to accept that you should pursue something else. What's depressing about the brain is that people that spend generations trying to become mathematicians for instance, but eventually realize they have a symptom like Dyscalculia that completely stops them from comprehending ideas like that. That itself means a life wasted because of some complicated measurement system we don't even know about.

I have a good friend who suffered from a stroke at birth, was immediately rushed to into the E.R. and was barely saved. The result of this stroke was the he was mentally impaired from a young age, doctors told his parents that because of that his development will never be the same, and he will likely have difficulty functioning as an independent adult. They were right- he had to take special education courses throughout his life, had trouble grasping even the simplest concepts in high school. But they were wrong about one tiny detail- he just got into a top 50 PhD program for psychology, is financially independent at a young age, and is happy. Not only is he a functioning adult, but one thats already in a better situation then most adults will ever be.
If you ever think I.Q. is holding you back- I guarantee you that 99.99% of the time, you're utterly wrong. Don't let it be an excuse
From what I've seen IQ comes out as the strongest correlator of success
(income wise I think it was) you can test/compare for, yet it's still pretty weak at
like 0.4.
From Zagorsky (2007) "Do you have to be smart to be rich?", IQ seems to be related to income, where every single IQ point over 100 (normal) and up to 130 (98th percentile) will result in anywhere from 6,000$ to 18,000$ greater yearly income, which is pathetic, and as you said, even this seems like a very weak relation with great dispersion in the expectations. From that same study it was found that net worth and IQ, though, do not relate, and that there was probably zero difference in net worth between people of normal IQ and 98th percentile. The test itself is really, just barely, a test of stupidity or incompetence, but you can test for that in a million more accurate ways. Even Dr. K's claim that you can take someone from Goldman Sachs and their IQ will be related to their wealthy and prestigious position, it just isn't something that is empirically demostrated, because that's not what IQ measures and it's not what IQ is. Those who score highest on IQ tests are those who perform tasks that are similar to the test itself. You don't become a rich banker or CEO by scoring high on a test for paper-shufflers, you become a paper-shuffler by scoring high on a test for paper-shufflers.
.4 is 40 percent of the variance......... that is huge in social psychology, EQ for example, when you do meta analysis has around .032 that means that IQ is 12 times more predictive than EQ for predicting academic performance for example
There are very few factors in social psychology, that have .4 or higher affect sizes
@@king_okeydoke The study you are referencing doesn't say what you think it says.
1. IQ predicts income, it has much weaker correlation to wealth
we already know that other personality factors are more important for predicting wealth
"Factors such as a person's desire for immediate or deferred satisfaction, tolerance or intolerance for taking risks, and ability to reject or accept social influence could all be key reasons. Caveats must be attached to these findings. The results are just for 2004 and focus on a single U.S. cohort.Results may be different for individuals living in countries with higher savings rates, such as Japan; living in countries with different pension structures, such as Germany; and for other U.S. cohorts and time periods. Future research will show if these findings are broadly applicable or apply just to U.S. young baby boomers."
Basically the test says that high IQ doesn't mean you make good financial decisions..... no shit.

@@Jazzyluvsyou100 I was quoting the study verbatim, please say what you misunderstand exactly, because nothing I said wasn't backed by the study or mentioned in it literally, not going to debate reality.
"IQ predicts income, it has much weaker correlation to wealth" It is related to income in how I already mentioned. IQ only predicts income insofar that you can be anywhere from 6k to 18k a year richer if you have 30 IQ points above average, no other conclusions were drawn in terms of it relating to income in the study, and it has ZERO correlation with net worth. No idea why you rephrase the conclusions drawn by the study.

Why are you telling me this? This is literally my point, IQ doesn't relate to material wealth accumulation in any meaningful way. That's why I said Dr. K might have an outdated/uninformed opinion on IQ because what he said in the video (that you could take someone rich and successful and their IQ will reflect that) is not empirically demonstrable.
@@Jazzyluvsyou100 In regards to what you said about correlation:
.4 correlation is only huge in social sciences because social sciences are pathetic at finding correlations between the things they study, partly why it's not treated as an actual science.

Bro just seek for professional help. Doing labor jobs hasn't much to do with IQ but with effort so try to find a job you are content with. I think you will automatically invest more time and effort to it once you like your job.
Hey man. Our worth as people is not defined by our jobs in society or how smart we are. Intelligence does not equal success and more important it does guarantee happiness in life either.

Surely you can increase your i.q through education. Reading, learning, even self taught.

Think of yourself as an obese person, you hate your life because of your obesity - so exercise. In your case, your exercise is education. Even watching these videos is a start
You can increase your IQ through nootropics and lots of working memory mental training.

Take these supplements with 20 minutes of hardcore dual n' back training every day and it'll be life changing. Experiment with other nootropics and vary up the mental training every week or so. Good luck!

@@oACDCo I'm making this complicated because I think it's important to talk about before going further.
Self limiting beliefs play a huge role. If you go into an IQ test feeling anxious and stupid, you’re not going to function anywhere near your peak capacity, so the test is useless. Your capacity is your ability to do things you really care about, as that’s when your brain hyper optimizes as much as it can. While there may be an asymptotic limit here, I’m sure most people have plenty of room to grow
Couldn't you have just said correlation not causation? It's complicated.
Within the gaming community, many quote that sentence sarcastically and it won't sink through gamers' minds. It needed to be explained, trust me.

My guess is EQ basically measures these two.
@@sparta117corza Agreed
Corey Wood true they measure success but they dont mesure EQ, because u would work hard towords a goal and not let negative emotions affect u , IQ mesures how much success or how fast ur success in a subject .
in college you learn how to talk with people and what people like to hear and dont hear. if you study psychology you will learn that people love to hear they are intelligent in a subtle tone. lots of work in building a therapist is teaching him how to properly communicate. he just want to flatter people listening to him.
