There’s no way this guy’s IQ is 70, he may have messed up on ‘the tests’ but he has a hell of a lot of self awareness and common sense, which is a lot more than most people I see these days! Fair play to you mate, keep going and don’t lose faith 😊
I agree completely. Perhaps the person administering the IQ test was a real low life who, for whatever reason, wanted him to believe that his IQ is incredibly low.
Here is a guy who accepted the hand he's dealt and strived to be competent at something most people would chuckle about because it's not very prestigious. He's aware of that and yet he's humble about it and that to me is utterly amazing. Hats off to you, brother!!

Yes and I cannot believe his IQ is 70, seems more like 85-90 if not 100. The whole thing screwing me up is believing Forrest Gump really had an IQ of 75. Forrest Gump was probably 60. I agree with there being other factors or other forms of intelligence, as easy as having the ability to just say no.
Make up a plan, set realistic goals, follow through, achieve goals, emotionally mature, accurate self judgment Dude you're smarter than 100% of the people I know.
Listening to you speak eloquently for 5 minutes straight about being self-aware and humble with a good work ethic does not convince me that you have an IQ of 70. Nothing but respect, mate. You're on a path that most people never find. Keep at it!
I think he may have dyslexia. Those underperform in iq tests and certain work tasks because the mind loses its focus, like a very short dementia lasting 1/50 of a second ,every half a minute or so. So an IQ test for them must be given differently.
The world needs to hear more stories from people like you. Ordinary people, unfortunate people, poor people, workers, our neighbours, etc. We've seen enough fake lifestyle on TV and the internet. We need solidarity and get through the struggle together!
Soft White Underbelly is a great channel on here with tons of those stories. Interviews with homeless people, people with mental illnesses, drug addicts, etc. You name it, they’ve got it. I highly recommend. Teaches you a lot about empathy and compassion.
You can mask a lot of human behaviors that verbally and nonverbally would fit better into the category of being "in control of every situation, objectively and subjectively" wich would be the average persons view on resilience, stability and smart thinking..... But as we know. A person with high IQ is no better at making "clever" descisions as in human understanding, than a person with a high EQ. So the question would be, Is being smart and clever, humans thinking of technology or solutions that could be useful for evolving mandkind in the future. Or is being smart and clever, taking care of your needs, and using empathy/sympathy to protect and evovle mandkind. ..Not that a person with high IQ cant use empathy for the good of multiple people, but i hope that you reading this is "clever" enough to get what im saying ;)
Someone convinced this guy that he is below average and that he cannot learn as fast as the average person. I have met hordes of unintelligent people in my life and he has none of the characteristics. I have also worked with the other end of the scale, so I have a frame of reference. What this guy shows is the attitude of a person who did not receive encouragement when growing up, in formal education and at home. I wouldn't say he has any limitation in the intelligence department but he will certainly need time to adjust, to set goals, and work towards them.
People say the same thing about my autism they believe I don't have it because I can hold a conversation because they don't understand autism properly they just think of people with stereotypical symptoms who aren't high functioning. That being said iq tests only test very specific areas so people may have intelligence in other areas not measured.
@nrgbunni. I think the problem is that "pretending" to have mental illness or disabilities of some sort has become this new trend, especially amongst younger females. Literally everyone in every comment section claims to be autistic to some degree. It's so lame.
@@nrgbunni. People look at me weird when I need help filling out a form at the dmv. I'm Dyslexic so I do fine on iq tests but I am bad at school related subjects I grew up thinking I was stupid but my critical thinking seems to be fine literally just reading spelling being slow to understand things sometimes but it's not verbal things it's things on paper
Adults adapt to mask it. I knew a guy for years and years and nobody who knew him knew he couldn't read. He memorised the shape of a few key words but never actually learned to read them or construct words himself. He was a successful business owner for decades
That’s a really good point he makes about how it’s hard to find work when you’re just not as quick as other people. It seems like jobs are only becoming more mentally demanding and not everybody’s made for that.

I'm a man, 145. I'm a complete idiot like everybody else. I lose my wallet and can't pay attention to a speech for more than 60 minutes (sometimes 60 seconds, depending on the speaker).

Let's start with the basics. You researched different jobs that you could do. You were willing to work at a fast food restaurant. You worked hard during your probation time to learn your job. You were happy that they kept you after 90 days. You are studying to help improve your IQ. You articulated all of this in a concise way that was understandable. You may not see it, but you are more highly intelligent than most people coming out of college. Not only that, you are also wise. You took a job that most people look down on. Your research, just everything about you, screams, "Here is a smart man." I would rather have my children look to you for guidance than someone with Einstein's IQ.
that last part is so true. Intelligence is detrimentally overrated. Discipline >>>> intelligence, but society clings to silly stories of elites and scientists who "changed the world". We can't have everyone change the world. You are not special when you were born. You become somebody by working, not by existing.
What’s wrong with getting guidance from someone with Einstein’s IQ? I’m just curious.. I don’t think “wrong” is the right way to say it, but I couldn’t come up with another word
I already learned something else from him today, but that is another good one too. Many people (like me) couldn't do it that fluently, even though my IQ is above 100.
@@luisbrunck6594because he’s not dumb, he has a low IQ. Theres a difference. An IQ is a specific test which might indicate how “intelligent” you are but your IQ can also just be low if you’re bad at math and spatial perception for example.
Go Mark!!!!! You’re an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your story with us. It gives me a lot of courage. Your words alone make a difference. Have a great day/night and all the best ❤
He clearly has people skills as well, he does a good job telling a story and seems like a relatable and friendly person. Those qualities are just as important as intelligence, if not more.
I've never considered how low IQ could affect someone, outside of a diagnosed learning difficulty. It's very uncommon to see someone talk about their own intelligence in a serious way unless they consider it to be high. Your development is incredible.
Thank you for sharing your story - felt your heart resonating in it. Keep up the good work. We’re not all playing the same game. You just gotta do the best you can do with the hand you’ve been given.

I work for a company that builds online psychometric tests. There's no way he has an IQ of 70. There are people with Down's Syndrome who have higher IQ scores than that. Most likely he took some 5 minute IQ test that wasn't very accurate.
@@DefenderPuma He seems to be a lot higher on verbal abilities, but since he struggles with pretty basic stuff for months, maybe his IQ really is that low. You know nothing about the guy and his struggles.
Or it'll practice really hard, learn to climb that tree then take over the world with its new found super powers.....either way don't antagonise the fish
I agree. I had some learning disabilities as a child. It made me shy at school because all I kept thinking I was stupid. I had some tests done when I was 35 and guess what. I only had leaning disability with Maths and all of my life I thought I'm stupid
It’s hard to believe you have a low IQ with how well-spoken you are and how determined you are! Just goes to show you shouldn’t accept defeat based on a number on a piece of paper. Hats off to you for your hard work and dedication. Food service is by no means easy and takes a lot of work.
It might be hard for some to believe as well that we have high IQ individuals out here who are a complete wreck of their lives. It's fascinating to me.
I remember being shocked finding out how low my friend's test scores were. He seemed normal but apparently he could barely understand math or read very well.
As someone that takes many IQ tests for fun, it feels more like pattern recognition on top of 2 simple problems for each question. Figuring out the 2 easy solutions, then using those 2 solutions to solve the overarching question. I've seen a lot of people just overthink it. Like they lack the confidence to say "yes that's the answer, I'm sure of it" and move on.
Completely true - IQ tests are no indication of overall intelligence as you can train yourself to get a higher score, they are based on being able to revise how to pass them well. Not a true assessment of intelligence. The guy in this video is obviously intelligent, he's just denigrating himself by saying an IQ of 70. Either that or its to get views! From his descriptions he has other mental health issues which he needs to tackle, far more important than passing random tests. Getting headaches in a fast food workplace sounds like a clear warning sign to find work somewhere more healthy.@@gamesthatiplay9083
This is a lovely video, and this guy is great! I love his effort his honesty, his attitude. This made me happy, I hope life keeps getting better. I hope you are happy
As a physician and therapist for intellectually disabled people, I was able to observe what this impressive young man shows, that the inclination to use the intellect, to think, is separate from intellectual power. I have known people with IQ less than 70 who think things through just like this, and I have known people with very high IQ who do not naturally think things through like this.
He is a wonderful young man, what a pity IQ and so say low intelligence have been used to stigmatise people. Academia has always rated itself higher than actual physical work, it isn't really fair, especially pay wise. I was top class all through school we were constantly given the impression we were better than the 'lower classes', I am virtually useless socially and emotionally though. Kindness, willingness, physical practical work should really get more regard.
My son has severe double deficit dyslexia and this video makes me feel better. My son works so hard with what he has and I hope he can get a job he’ll be happy with.
@@Islandswamp some of the most intelligent people I have ever met have been dyslexic, all have them could work things out without instructions, I can read perfectly, it is a good skill to have but I can't work out how to do things with instructions. I really hope they find something they like that makes them feel good and make money from, my intelligence has its good points but it can be a double edged sword, I think kindness and confidence are most important Good luck to you both.
You CAN NOT RAISE your eye cue [Edit: For the very dense people who cannot see the correct spelling in the damn title, I am doing deliberately to avoid autodelete of my comment. END EDIT] . You can do a lot to lower it, but you cannot raise it. Furthermore, even if you could, most people with a 70 eye cue couldn't understand such a concept anyway.
My twin brother is dyslexic, did terrible in school. He is like the Da Vinci of carpentry, incredibly skilled human being. Just because you have what some people deem as shortcomings, doesn't mean you aren't incredibly gifted in one way or another.
I had a friend who was dyslexic, eventually taught himself to read in his late teens and obviously didn't do well in school. Became a world famous tattoo artist with his art published in books and people travelling across the planet to be tattooed by him. Another who dropped out at 14 and could never read, but could recite Macbeth by heart from seeing it performed. I've been tested a few times in my life and am always off the charts, yet spent most of my life on the street. IQ tests just one form of intelligence among many that we don't even have names for, let alone the ability to quantify.
I have dyslexia and a high IQ. It is not about intelligence at all. It just means your brain processes certain information differently from others, and it causes you to have challenges in some specific areas but it absolutely has nothing to do with your problem solving abilities and your IQ
You have my absolute admiration mate! You have understood the problem and taken logical and intelligent steps to solve the problem. Keep on working through your difficulties in the same way and you will always be a winner!
Self awareness, goal setting, working on weaknesses, managing expectations, doing research, great attitude. If I were your employer I would consider myself quite fortunate. Keep going.
I’m just so lost… this person has gone on to perfectly articulate themselves with great attention to detail, cohesive thoughts and a progressive storyline for about 5 minutes. I would have thought u were an an average uni student at their first job
I have a 59 year old aunt, with a confirmed IQ of 69, she colors all day and plays very simple games on her tablet, she can't handle any adult responsibilities beyond cleaning her room and bathroom, and washing dishes. This guy is definitely a lot higher than a 70 based on this video.
I have to agree with that. Tho my personal experience as someone with Aspergers is that while I excel at spatial perception, have very good logic skills and tested way above average on an IQ test when I took my drivers license. My ability to deal with life skills and adult responsibilities is very limited. I also do appear somewhat childlike both in appearance, naive behaviour and personal interests.
thats weird, im autistic and i have e very high iq but im in a similar situation, im 45 but i cant handle adult stuff, i play chess and poker all day and do art, but your ant reminds me of me and im really smart !
Respectfully disagree - The difference of lifestyles and external attitudes a young man faces regardless of his situation pressures him into getting a job and earning his keep. Even when your on downtime you open youtube up and its just an endless slew of rich guys berating you? The opposite side of the coin is an older woman who was just expected to be a home maker or good wife so they literally live on easy mode. IQ has nothing to do with it, if you challenge and pressure people they will mould a certain way. If you never had said pressure your just gonna get to a point where you regress into a childlike state
Some people with low iq are very articulate and smart in different ways. If this guy got a real iq test done and that was his score than it’s pretty close. It may not be exactly 70 but it’s close to that
Dude... You are an absolute inspiration. If 50% of all people had your mindset, our world would be 100% better. Keep on doing what you're doing. IQ means nothing - it's a positive attitude that matters most!
. @ItzTwelve0Clock That is because, through factor analysis, that intelligence, through many experiments and in practice, is one dimensional. No one has ever been able to show that intelligence has more dimensional measures than one. Also, IQ is the best psychometric statistic that exists to predict financial success, there is no other test that correlates higher to financial success than IQ. Of course if you are intelligent, but lazy and do nothing, you will obviously fail. I am not saying you cannot be successful if you are not smart. Having a low IQ does make it more difficult to be financially successful.
@@ItzTwelve0ClockYeah, iq has actually with time been proved to be a pretty bad measure of intelligence, unfortunately i don’t have a source because this is from memory, but im sure a quick search would reinforce my statement here (if not then my bad)
Hi Mark I’ve just watched this video and some of your others and I just want to say thank you. Your content is philosophical and enlightening in many ways. Keep doing what you are doing, and more than anything, keep questioning the world around us. An IQ assignment can feel restrictive at best. You are making your own boundaries and that is wonderful! I hope you have realized the value of your emotional intelligence and can continue spreading your philosophies.
working at mcdonalds is not a secret. mcdonalds is great service done to the world of employment. it's a sieve that captures the low iq people of society and keeps them occupied
Geez, that is very humble of you to do that. I think that is a very respectable thing. I think your video will help a lot of folks. It makes me wish I had stuck with fast-food. If everyone had your attitude the world would be a better place.❤🎉
No that's just objectively not true, but I'm sure you felt good writing it. 70 iq tasks are basically the most ripe for automation. You can't learn or adapt quick enough at that speed. It's sad, it's tremendously sad. But that's the truth.
Usually when people told me they have 140 iq I just ask about their achievements and what they have actually accomplished. And the usual bs were they’re too lazy or society don’t understand them. No successful business, no phd, masters, or even a degree. The number doesn’t really matter. At all.
Usually people who are arrogant and rude have average or lower IQ. People who are humble, kind and caring have lower or astonishingly high IQ. I’m in college and this is my experience only
Why is it surprising that he is well-spoken? The way one speaks is very much a mimick of what one hears around them as they grow up. That's got nothing to do with his intelligence quotient.
Just an insane amount of respect dude. I don't even know how to explain the amount of sense that this level of self-awareness takes. You're a complete legend.
yep.. Literally the fact that he can structure a video properly like this and stay on subject consistently.. Also studies on the subject show that people with an IQ of 80 and lower have it very difficult with time references (they tend to just live in the now, and not consider the future as much), so the prospect of "keeping the contract for 3 months" etc. is also way above that level.. He could still be slightly below average, but he is definitely NOT 70 IQ..
Hey man I just wanted to say I’m fighting back tears. My iq isn’t low by any means but, I’ve often struggled to hold onto jobs. I mostly work in the food industry. To a lot of people they think that staying somewhere for 3 months or 6 months is a laughable goal. It’s not. Thank you for pushing yourself. It is an inspiration to us all.
For Real, I'm Dyspraxic and have an IQ of 115 but its very uneven and I have been let go from jobs despite doing well in school. Natural Ability can often be made up for in Effort. I'm currently a flight attendant and probably the easiest part of the job is opening and closing the doors. It wasn't for me, I literally practiced more than 20 times opening and closing because i knew i had to pass and that I wanted the job. Overall i love my job, and despite being dealt a very different hand to the video creator, I really resonate with him.
Tbh bro sometimes having a high IQ is just as bad as low IQ. I have struggled to hold down steady employment my whole life, my uncle has as well he has worked upwards of 80-90 jobs. Both of us on tested as geniuses, but both of us also are slightly on the autism spectrum and have ADHD. For us it's an issue that most jobs don't occupy us enough. Thankfully my current job allows me to read when we don't have orders coming. Because for me that's the only way I can maintain focus, by reading something during the down time and writing when ideas story ideas strike. For me as well it is the having the opportunity to read that makes me get my job done faster. In a given shift I'll usually get about 40 chapters of manga read. By being able to occupy my brain with something other than mindless repetitive action that I'm able to stay focused for the whole shift. Places that don't allow reprieves like that I always grow to resent them because I feel like I'm a replaceable cog, that the employers wants a machine not a person. But being allowed to converse with coworkers about things other than work, by being able to write, draw, or read, I feel like I can express myself and that I am being accepted by my employer, thus my productivity goes up. There's actually quite a few studies that show the more you try to squeeze 8 hours of productivity out of a worker the less you actually get, whereas when you allow for a more natural workplace balance you tend to actually get full productivity. I can confirm that with me at least balance is a must, because the more my fundamental human spirit is ground down and I'm not allowed to express myself, the more resentful and lazy I get.
My brother has Down Syndrome & Autism (so not the typical person with DS) I have a master's & bipolar. Guess who had the long career with one employer & got awards until he retired at 50 (retirement for folks with dev disabilities is a big deal...this is the first generation where living past 50 is just typical)? Yep, not me lol! My mom always pointed out our different strengths, rather than comparing us, which was great.
@@Squaretable22after reviewing symptoms, I think l need to see a doc about this. I can write nicely but they really taught us that in the 70s intensely, and I got a D in it. I get so embarrassed about it, I didn't know that bad clumsiness was a disorder. I have bruises all over because I can never just know where to put myself, I always end up smashing into walls.
My brother has a learning disability which makes it tough for him to live independently. For the past year he has been working at a bakery in the kitchen, they aren’t the nicest people to work with but my brother says that “even tho it sucks he knows that the experience will only make him stronger”. He went from the guy who couldn’t cope with taking the bus alone, to someone that pays for his own food and transportation. He is now saving up for a house. I’m constantly inspired when watching him.
All the luck in the world to your brother. Sounds like someone that’s been raised right with a good head on his shoulders. A lot more valuable than intellect today that’s for sure.
Nothing but respect for this young man. He’s articulate, motivated, hardworking, organised and accountable. I tested super high on those useless ‘tests’ as a kid and it made me complacent and arrogant. This guy’s taken the challenge with both hands and is a better person as a result. I’d hire him.
@@michaelsutherland5848 Also, interestingly, IQs change throughout the course of a life (I mean at least thy can still change a lot between childhood and adulthood). Seen a lot of spoiled brats who got not only extremely encouraged and empowered, but really buttered up (mostly little boys and their mothers who are absolutely sure that their precious baby must be the genius of the century). I have seen others undermined, neglected or just ignored etc. These things matter, and they have a huge impact. But often enough they also kind of balance out over the years and the neglected kids can learn to be smart on their own, the spoiled brats get lazy and arrogant and do not develop enough self-awareness and ultimately undermine their own development and wake up one day wondering why they are so average... happens a lot.
You are a very self aware person. Wisdom is not determined by a IQ test, it is by reflecting, honestly, that we can grow. Keep doing what you are doing and I wish you all the success
Yup, I am high iq and the one thing that gets my mood bad the most are pretenders. Most normies are pretenders and play status games and that just makes EVERYTHING so difficult. I worked with low iq people and those days were some of my best at work, good team players who actually try to understand what they have to do. Spoiled brats will be so much more trouble.
Dude has the steel of balls to say all these and be humble and honest about it. He already has my respect that i couldn't even give to people who apparently have high IQ.
There's a direct correlation between IQ and social cognitive abilities. What might strike you right away is lack of shame in his expression. If a person finds it difficult to blush they're likely lower IQ. Not to be mistaken with social maturity, e.g being intelligent enough not to instinctively resort to fight or flight when your ego is challenged or you're finding yourself in an uncomfortable situation. If your citizens are of average low IQ social shame tactics isn't going to prevent them from committing crimes. Only threat of physical harm is going to deter them, which is why the criminal justice system that focuses on rehabilitation in some western countries don't work on immigrants.
Mark, you're really articulate, have good recall, and summarised that story well. I wouldn't have thought you had any personal challenges at all. Brilliant mentality mate, any place would be lucky to have your kind of mentality.
I worked at a McDonald's through college. One of my coworkers had a noticeably below average IQ. She was taught only 1 or 2 positions and was still working there when I left. Everyone liked her-- she was always on time, did the tasks she was trained on well, we worked the other store positions without any complaint since she did a good job, and she was a nice lady. As long as you want to work and are a good person, that's all you need.
I used to work with a guy doing marquee erection and he was phenomenal. He'd been doing the job for most of his adult life and he was one of the nicest and hard-working guys you'll ever meet. He even coped with banter pretty well. Miss that guy.
Mark, I had a boss who gave me the best advice on being successful. 1) always say please and thank you 2) never ask an employee to do something you are not willing to do 3) organisation is the key to success. No where in his rules for being a good boss did he have anything about intellectual IQ. I really don't care what your IQ is. I truly believe you are a smart man and a wise man. Everyone has some type of disability that they must overcome. I suffer from depression and anxiety as well as physical problems. I must find ways to navigate this world in my own way. And at the almost age of 61, I realised that that's ok. Everybody has the ability to make this world a better place. I look forward to watching you grow and put your own stamp on life lessons! Be well, your new subscriber
Can't agree with "don't ask anyone to do anything you wouldn't do". What if you're directing trapeze artists- I should be able to do what they're doing? What if what needs to get done is a beautiful painting and I can't draw a straight line, or pages of code need to be written and idk how to write code? That's just not realistic
This is legitimately a great example of the shortcomings of the IQ test. Perseverance, accepting reality & creativity are out of the park with this guy .
A testament to how big of a lie IQ tests are. It is just a test. Being good in solving a test doesn't mean you are smarter. You are simply good with solving an abstract test. My results were above average since 15 years old. And I stand behind my message. On top of this having high IQ doesn't prevent anyone from being dumb or unwise. And lastly, even if you aren't dumb intellectually, you could still be dumb morally or emotionally (amoral, lacking abilities to deal with complex emotions properly).
nah he should be banned for abusing dumb people to make money. he aint dumb he is a big brain saying he is dumb. the fact you and 147 (atm) didnt see it just makes me wanna kill my self ngl. how dumb can you be?
This is very good, very helpful. I have a family member with lower IQ, about 80, and it is stressful sometimes. We worry about what he can do and the jobs he will be able to excel at. Luckily our family loves him and will always support him but it’s very tough for the “BIF” group of individuals. People with IQs between 70-85 have a unique challenge. They appear perfectly normal on the outside but can rly struggle with basic tasks and jobs etc. this message is hopeful and I really wish you the best.
Maybe consider janitorial or window cleaning! They pay a living wage in my country and it's the easiest work I've ever done. Far easier than fast food. I have a medical condition that affects my memory significantly and it's hard to learn new things. A lot of janitorial positions require experience, but you can get around that by finding a gym to apply to. Gym janitorial gigs are very simple, require zero experience and they have trouble keeping the positions full. You won't make as much as a janitor at a gym as you would being a janitor in a warehouse, but it's doable. And once you work there you can move on to office cleaning or something. One of my coworkers at the gym had down syndrome and couldn't speak very well and had trouble learning new things. HE WAS VERY VALUED. He was there everyday, that's what mattered. Rooting for your family member!
Interestingly, there is a chart with average IQ test results per country available online. For example, South Africa scores an average of about 68 IQ. Top of my head.
This guy started at lvl 1 with the tenacity and mindset of a lvl 60. This dude has a lot of potential, he just needs to keep learning and pushing his brain. I'd love to see an update for this man.
This man is so admirable. No self-pity. Tries his best, works hard to improve, has a positive attitude. We could all learn a lot from this man. Many people in his position would just give up and not even try, he deserves all of his success.
Listening to you I am sure it's not simply an issue of low IQ. The way that you've become aware, analyzed your difficulties, and applied solutions takes a certain type of intelligence even many really smart people fail to have. You might have a specific area of learning disability, a memory disability, or possibly slower processing which isn't a limitation on conceptual understanding, it just means you need a little more time learning things.
Yeah, no way his IQ is 70. The way he broke this down, conceptually, and then arriving at a solution demonstrates problem solving ability and an ability to think abstractly.
Pretty spot on there, most people don't realize how little learning disabilities actually affect some people, the hardest part for me has always been patience if nothing else, but as long as you give half a shit about what you're doing you'll always eventually understand it just as well as anybody else. That being said I don't wanna sound like a pick me here I get there are still others who have more difficulty in general, but I do feel like the way some school systems handle this disability handle it like it means your literally fucking retarded or something (pardon my french but this stuff makes me upset) and this severely effects your self confidence and image of yourself or what your actually capable of, among many other things, messed me up pretty bad until I got out of special education in jr. high, but sheesh man it took me awhile to get readjusted, hearing this guy's story made me happy to hear
My thoughts as well. His speech is very concise kind of complex as well. I have talked to dumb people, they do not sound like this. And I don't think dumb-intelligent is a measure of worth, by the way.
@@bonkersdonkers7381is it possible he just didn’t receive a typical western education and/or perhaps isn’t great at the typical iq assesment tests? He seems like a pretty normal guy to me and actually seems to have above normal ability to asses himself and apply solutions.
You are an inspiration to others for not allowing your limitations getting in the way of finding a job and earning money for yourself. I have total admiration and respect for you, There are so many people without disabilities out there who will not take on a job that doesn’t pay particularly well until they are either better qualified or a better paying job more suited to their qualifications comes along.
I taught and did group therapy at a school for kids who were kicked out of their home schools for behavior issues, and most of them had learning disabilities. One of my girls had an IQ of 72, but her verbal was comparatively high, so the way she presented superficially was fairly typical. It's a totally different kind of rough, because everyone thinks you're understanding things way better than you are, and no one wants to constantly ask the world to slow down and speak carefully and simply.
I worked as a behavior technician for years and you tend to observe things over a period that long. The people with a "hard" mindset, believe in punishment etc are the ones that tended to be the least empathetic and patient with my students. I made sure to be corrective with those ones. The ones with a mindset like Mark's were the most empathetic, and honestly the most skilled overall. Those students learned faster with the patient teachers who were willing to go over every detail happily as opposed to the ones I call "shamers." Shamers tend to underperform in my opinion.
@@JP-xg6bvhow badly is that kind of system understaffed? If explained to me I often am very understanding of the kids issues actually ask my step son I am to the point I let him use it as a escuse because I don't want to punish him fir something he can't help but nah he admited to me he plays on that >:c so if I do go into that work I gotta learn to be firmer, they still kids they will say up if they know they can but I'm curious how over saturated the job market is in that area :)
I'm a dentist but worked in Mcdonalds for about a year. Both are intense and stressful jobs at times. Mcdonalds isn't an easy job. It does not let you off with poor performance. It's a constant revolving door of folk getting fired or not turning up and new staff getting employed. If employees stuck around for about a year and showed ability they'd often be sent for shift manager training and start to work their way up quickly.
I used to work for McDonald's & it's a little funny how ppl want to judge u based on where you work. Ppl could care less about your life story, for the most part, it seems, & would rather judge you in just a moments worth. Bc y not, it's easier. Meanwhile, I'd keep my mouth shut about a lot of things & just look at some ppl like yikes. U might want to reconsider what you're judging. Bc you're def lacking any kind of self awareness. & If I'm ur bigger battle in life, then wever war you're going through, that already sounds like it's gonna take forever to get through. But lucky u, bc at least I'm not a part of it. I can not tell u how many times I've tried helping ppl by going cheaper routes. But ppl r so determined to belittle (a/) complete strangers, I'd switch up. Bc they got on my nerves, so, fake a smile, find a way to over charge them, & lie to them about something. U got kicks? Aww that's peecious. Bc I'm human... me too! But if they're right, in there minds ___, than that's what counts. I work somewhere else & it's kind of the same mentality. I really just got into it w/ a preacher too. Apparently a well known, in the community. Lol, have no clue who he is. If ppl knew how much power on a different level I have now,...and was always capable of, jk, that's prob what sadistic cynical types would prob want to hear. But as much as a revolving door it here is too, the politics here is more fd. Like u fr gotta check urself w/ this 1 now tho Bc yay for constancy,.... isn't that right? Someone smiling in ur damn face isn't wth matters. & I do think body language is pseudo science tho. Bc if that's all he/ they hafta go by, or actively choose to go by, u're really r fd. Meanwhile... Also, random but I remember hearing about a horror local story where that guy worked at 1. & I never forgot that. But high IQ or not, imagine hearing things like choose ur battles better... Randoms: yep today's my day to kill & it's so worth it! Or in less dramatic language, be a complete douche! No matter ur education, status, race, age, gender, blah. Some ppl should've fr took 1 step outside & got on that it's gonna be a nope from me universal thread. Like who the f even told u u were civilized
@@ahhwe-any7434 think I get some of what you're saying there. I don't get the rest. But yeah, folk should think twice before they make lazy assumptions and judge.

There isn't as much of a correlation between I.Q. and language skills, as you might think. There are people who can do the most outrageously clever things but can't string a sentence together. It goes the other way as well.
I agree its higher than 70! im 100% certain is that he took one of those math-IQ-tests and if your math skills are bad, it will score you very low, im confident that if he took one of the visual ones, he would be around average, maybe 80-90is

Finding out your IQ score is 70 seems like something that would have most people giving up and using it as an excuse to be unemployed. It seems like it’s driven you to work harder and even improve your IQ score. You are more impressive than you know, and there’s no number on a test that can describe the value you possess
Everyone starts with low iq’s it is just we all develop at different stages. He might be later than usual but will probably develop his IQ above the average.
@@Will-nb8qk No. IQ is age appropriate and varies as one's brain develops. IQs are always calculated relative to a person's age. While the overall framework is fixed.
Brother you are very well spoken. Keep working towards you goal and don't let anything limit you. You seem like a very well aware man and im sure you'll succeed with your goals. Keep working hard brother!
This really illustrates why we should all go through life NOT ridiculing people, period. We never know the situation, the conditions, the battles they had to fight and win just to be where they are. How sad it is to have someone in a position they truly struggled for, and then someone comes along and pushes them down and adds to that struggle. I don't want to be that someone, ever. We may not be at this guy's level, but I guarantee that ALL of us have faced similar obstacles in some way, at some time, to some degree, that really maybe made our eyes well up a little at the unfairness of life. We should always deal with people with this in the forefront of our approach. Build up...don't tear down. Don't be the cause of someone's despair. My hat is off my bald head to you, friend! I wish you success, and with your attitude you WILL get it.
Its so strange watching you saying that you have IQ 70 and yet you are very articulate, introspective and self aware. You are awesome. Keep it up man. My hats to you
I don't believe a moment that this man has an IQ of 70 in a reliable measures, based by the way he speaks. I don't like to be lied to, but I understand - if this is his 'niche' at the side hustle - - Which brings him some money, to ends meat. A man has to do, what a man has to do, and would you lie; or to be not able to eat so well? At in this man's situation I would lie - but there was no single thing in his speech, nor his actions; in the video - that would indicate that he has legitimately IQ as low as 70. I believe it is just an clickbait, and narrative, of his channel to be intresting.
That is the mentality that will win for you in life, son. Where you struggle, work harder. When you fail, get back up and get back in the fight. KEEP FIGHTING! I love the McDonalds idea...if necessary, you can make them extend your training as long as you need by moving from one independently owned store to the next until you get it. Young man, I know people with very high IQs who fail because they do not get what you get! Well done!!

I was completely struck with how open you were to talk about something that a lot of people are unfortunately ashamed of. It’s unfortunate because there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a low IQ, just like there is nothing wrong with having blue eyes or dimples, to name more examples of things that you can’t change. You’re a legend to me. Keep it up. Those likes are the least possible amount of people that are proud of you.

I agree completely. Perhaps the person administering the IQ test was a real low life who, for whatever reason, wanted him to believe that his IQ is incredibly low.

You can mask a lot of human behaviors that verbally and nonverbally would fit better into the category of being "in control of every situation, objectively and subjectively" wich would be the average persons view on resilience, stability and smart thinking..... But as we know. A person with high IQ is no better at making "clever" descisions as in human understanding, than a person with a high EQ. So the question would be, Is being smart and clever, humans thinking of technology or solutions that could be useful for evolving mandkind in the future. Or is being smart and clever, taking care of your needs, and using empathy/sympathy to protect and evovle mandkind. ..Not that a person with high IQ cant use empathy for the good of multiple people, but i hope that you reading this is "clever" enough to get what im saying ;)
Someone convinced this guy that he is below average and that he cannot learn as fast as the average person. I have met hordes of unintelligent people in my life and he has none of the characteristics. I have also worked with the other end of the scale, so I have a frame of reference. What this guy shows is the attitude of a person who did not receive encouragement when growing up, in formal education and at home. I wouldn't say he has any limitation in the intelligence department but he will certainly need time to adjust, to set goals, and work towards them.
I don’t feel like you could possibly have an IQ of 70. You were smart enough to figure all this out. Good on you. You are awesome!!! Keep it up.
People say the same thing about my autism they believe I don't have it because I can hold a conversation because they don't understand autism properly they just think of people with stereotypical symptoms who aren't high functioning.

Let's start with the basics. You researched different jobs that you could do. You were willing to work at a fast food restaurant. You worked hard during your probation time to learn your job. You were happy that they kept you after 90 days. You are studying to help improve your IQ. You articulated all of this in a concise way that was understandable. You may not see it, but you are more highly intelligent than most people coming out of college. Not only that, you are also wise. You took a job that most people look down on. Your research, just everything about you, screams, "Here is a smart man." I would rather have my children look to you for guidance than someone with Einstein's IQ.
that last part is so true. Intelligence is detrimentally overrated. Discipline >>>> intelligence, but society clings to silly stories of elites and scientists who "changed the world". We can't have everyone change the world. You are not special when you were born. You become somebody by working, not by existing.

Like they lack the confidence to say "yes that's the answer, I'm sure of it" and move on.
Completely true - IQ tests are no indication of overall intelligence as you can train yourself to get a higher score, they are based on being able to revise how to pass them well. Not a true assessment of intelligence. The guy in this video is obviously intelligent, he's just denigrating himself by saying an IQ of 70. Either that or its to get views!

God bless you brother, from Brooklyn NYC, your name is in my prayers tonight
I have a 59 year old aunt, with a confirmed IQ of 69, she colors all day and plays very simple games on her tablet, she can't handle any adult responsibilities beyond cleaning her room and bathroom, and washing dishes. This guy is definitely a lot higher than a 70 based on this video.
I have to agree with that. Tho my personal experience as someone with Aspergers is that while I excel at spatial perception, have very good logic skills and tested way above average on an IQ test when I took my drivers license. My ability to deal with life skills and adult responsibilities is very limited. I also do appear somewhat childlike both in appearance, naive behaviour and personal interests.
thats weird, im autistic and i have e very high iq but im in a similar situation, im 45 but i cant handle adult stuff, i play chess and poker all day and do art, but your ant reminds me of me and im really smart !
Respectfully disagree - The difference of lifestyles and external attitudes a young man faces regardless of his situation pressures him into getting a job and earning his keep. Even when your on downtime you open youtube up and its just an endless slew of rich guys berating you?
The opposite side of the coin is an older woman who was just expected to be a home maker or good wife so they literally live on easy mode. IQ has nothing to do with it, if you challenge and pressure people they will mould a certain way. If you never had said pressure your just gonna get to a point where you regress into a childlike state
nice
Some people with low iq are very articulate and smart in different ways. If this guy got a real iq test done and that was his score than it’s pretty close. It may not be exactly 70 but it’s close to that
Dude... You are an absolute inspiration. If 50% of all people had your mindset, our world would be 100% better. Keep on doing what you're doing. IQ means nothing - it's a positive attitude that matters most!
. @ItzTwelve0Clock That is because, through factor analysis, that intelligence, through many experiments and in practice, is one dimensional. No one has ever been able to show that intelligence has more dimensional measures than one. Also, IQ is the best psychometric statistic that exists to predict financial success, there is no other test that correlates higher to financial success than IQ.
Of course if you are intelligent, but lazy and do nothing, you will obviously fail. I am not saying you cannot be successful if you are not smart. Having a low IQ does make it more difficult to be financially successful.
@@ItzTwelve0Clock are u stupid bro

Good on ya Mark. Proud of you buddy. You seem like a very smart young man to me. And you have tenacity!
You are doing more good for the world with your 70 IQ than many people will do with a 140 IQ. Just by being honest and humble, you’re improving lives.
You can actually give someone a compliment without bringing others down. Try it
No that's just objectively not true, but I'm sure you felt good writing it. 70 iq tasks are basically the most ripe for automation. You can't learn or adapt quick enough at that speed. It's sad, it's tremendously sad. But that's the truth.
Man I've got a 140 and I've been in and out of the psych ward this year lmao this man is crushing it 1000%.
Usually when people told me they have 140 iq I just ask about their achievements and what they have actually accomplished. And the usual bs were they’re too lazy or society don’t understand them. No successful business, no phd, masters, or even a degree.
The number doesn’t really matter. At all.
Yeah honestly. I’m just fucking depressed cause I think about everything that doesn’t involve me. Tested at 147 tho. Lmao
I was quite surprised how well spoken this guy is for having 70 iq. If I was just walking past this guy in public I’d have never known.
Usually people who are arrogant and rude have average or lower IQ. People who are humble, kind and caring have lower or astonishingly high IQ. I’m in college and this is my experience only
It's higher than 70
Why is it surprising that he is well-spoken? The way one speaks is very much a mimick of what one hears around them as they grow up. That's got nothing to do with his intelligence quotient.

Just an insane amount of respect dude. I don't even know how to explain the amount of sense that this level of self-awareness takes. You're a complete legend.
I really doubt this guy can be this coherent with 70iq. It's probably higher.
AGREE.
yep.. Literally the fact that he can structure a video properly like this and stay on subject consistently.. Also studies on the subject show that people with an IQ of 80 and lower have it very difficult with time references (they tend to just live in the now, and not consider the future as much), so the prospect of "keeping the contract for 3 months" etc. is also way above that level.. He could still be slightly below average, but he is definitely NOT 70 IQ..
No way he is unintelligent if that equates to low IQ.
Too articulate.
Nah you’d be surprised. Lots of people out there are low IQ.
@@BradPwnsU idk
Hey man I just wanted to say I’m fighting back tears. My iq isn’t low by any means but, I’ve often struggled to hold onto jobs. I mostly work in the food industry. To a lot of people they think that staying somewhere for 3 months or 6 months is a laughable goal. It’s not. Thank you for pushing yourself. It is an inspiration to us all.
For Real, I'm Dyspraxic and have an IQ of 115 but its very uneven and I have been let go from jobs despite doing well in school. Natural Ability can often be made up for in Effort. I'm currently a flight attendant and probably the easiest part of the job is opening and closing the doors. It wasn't for me, I literally practiced more than 20 times opening and closing because i knew i had to pass and that I wanted the job. Overall i love my job, and despite being dealt a very different hand to the video creator, I really resonate with him.
Tbh bro sometimes having a high IQ is just as bad as low IQ. I have struggled to hold down steady employment my whole life, my uncle has as well he has worked upwards of 80-90 jobs. Both of us on tested as geniuses, but both of us also are slightly on the autism spectrum and have ADHD.
For us it's an issue that most jobs don't occupy us enough. Thankfully my current job allows me to read when we don't have orders coming. Because for me that's the only way I can maintain focus, by reading something during the down time and writing when ideas story ideas strike. For me as well it is the having the opportunity to read that makes me get my job done faster. In a given shift I'll usually get about 40 chapters of manga read.
By being able to occupy my brain with something other than mindless repetitive action that I'm able to stay focused for the whole shift. Places that don't allow reprieves like that I always grow to resent them because I feel like I'm a replaceable cog, that the employers wants a machine not a person. But being allowed to converse with coworkers about things other than work, by being able to write, draw, or read, I feel like I can express myself and that I am being accepted by my employer, thus my productivity goes up.
There's actually quite a few studies that show the more you try to squeeze 8 hours of productivity out of a worker the less you actually get, whereas when you allow for a more natural workplace balance you tend to actually get full productivity. I can confirm that with me at least balance is a must, because the more my fundamental human spirit is ground down and I'm not allowed to express myself, the more resentful and lazy I get.
My brother has Down Syndrome & Autism (so not the typical person with DS) I have a master's & bipolar. Guess who had the long career with one employer & got awards until he retired at 50 (retirement for folks with dev disabilities is a big deal...this is the first generation where living past 50 is just typical)? Yep, not me lol! My mom always pointed out our different strengths, rather than comparing us, which was great.
@@Squaretable22after reviewing symptoms, I think l need to see a doc about this. I can write nicely but they really taught us that in the 70s intensely, and I got a D in it. I get so embarrassed about it, I didn't know that bad clumsiness was a disorder. I have bruises all over because I can never just know where to put myself, I always end up smashing into walls.

My brother has a learning disability which makes it tough for him to live independently. For the past year he has been working at a bakery in the kitchen, they aren’t the nicest people to work with but my brother says that “even tho it sucks he knows that the experience will only make him stronger”.
He went from the guy who couldn’t cope with taking the bus alone, to someone that pays for his own food and transportation. He is now saving up for a house. I’m constantly inspired when watching him.
That’s beautiful. ✨ truly beautiful
Iron sharpen iron, trials make us stronger. Thanks for sharing that.
All the luck in the world to your brother. Sounds like someone that’s been raised right with a good head on his shoulders. A lot more valuable than intellect today that’s for sure.
Sounds like your both great brothers
Nothing but respect for this young man. He’s articulate, motivated, hardworking, organised and accountable. I tested super high on those useless ‘tests’ as a kid and it made me complacent and arrogant. This guy’s taken the challenge with both hands and is a better person as a result. I’d hire him.
That’s right. If you go slowly you still get there.

Hard work will trump high intelligence Every. Time. Tortoise vs hare.
@@michaelsutherland5848 Also, interestingly, IQs change throughout the course of a life (I mean at least thy can still change a lot between childhood and adulthood). Seen a lot of spoiled brats who got not only extremely encouraged and empowered, but really buttered up (mostly little boys and their mothers who are absolutely sure that their precious baby must be the genius of the century).
I have seen others undermined, neglected or just ignored etc. These things matter, and they have a huge impact. But often enough they also kind of balance out over the years and the neglected kids can learn to be smart on their own, the spoiled brats get lazy and arrogant and do not develop enough self-awareness and ultimately undermine their own development and wake up one day wondering why they are so average... happens a lot.
I really like your spirit. You seem like a grounded person with a lot of integrity. Wishing you all the best.

Yup, I am high iq and the one thing that gets my mood bad the most are pretenders.
Most normies are pretenders and play status games and that just makes EVERYTHING so difficult.
I worked with low iq people and those days were some of my best at work, good team players who actually try to understand what they have to do.
Spoiled brats will be so much more trouble.
Dude has the steel of balls to say all these and be humble and honest about it. He already has my respect that i couldn't even give to people who apparently have high IQ.
There's a direct correlation between IQ and social cognitive abilities. What might strike you right away is lack of shame in his expression. If a person finds it difficult to blush they're likely lower IQ. Not to be mistaken with social maturity, e.g being intelligent enough not to instinctively resort to fight or flight when your ego is challenged or you're finding yourself in an uncomfortable situation. If your citizens are of average low IQ social shame tactics isn't going to prevent them from committing crimes. Only threat of physical harm is going to deter them, which is why the criminal justice system that focuses on rehabilitation in some western countries don't work on immigrants.

Mark, I had a boss who gave me the best advice on being successful. 1) always say please and thank you 2) never ask an employee to do something you are not willing to do 3) organisation is the key to success. No where in his rules for being a good boss did he have anything about intellectual IQ. I really don't care what your IQ is. I truly believe you are a smart man and a wise man. Everyone has some type of disability that they must overcome. I suffer from depression and anxiety as well as physical problems. I must find ways to navigate this world in my own way.

Best thing I've seen on UA-cam this year so far...well done mate.
Found this very moving. What a lovable young man and what a tough world we live in.
A testament to how big of a lie IQ tests are.
It is just a test. Being good in solving a test doesn't mean you are smarter. You are simply good with solving an abstract test.
My results were above average since 15 years old. And I stand behind my message.
On top of this having high IQ doesn't prevent anyone from being dumb or unwise.
And lastly, even if you aren't dumb intellectually, you could still be dumb morally or emotionally (amoral, lacking abilities to deal with complex emotions properly).
This man should be cherished at all costs. Such a refreshing take to hear in these times. I hope you find nothing but success in your future homie.
nah he should be banned for abusing dumb people to make money. he aint dumb he is a big brain saying he is dumb. the fact you and 147 (atm) didnt see it just makes me wanna kill my self ngl. how dumb can you be?
Much respect and all the best to you brother 🙏
This is very good, very helpful. I have a family member with lower IQ, about 80, and it is stressful sometimes. We worry about what he can do and the jobs he will be able to excel at. Luckily our family loves him and will always support him but it’s very tough for the “BIF” group of individuals. People with IQs between 70-85 have a unique challenge. They appear perfectly normal on the outside but can rly struggle with basic tasks and jobs etc. this message is hopeful and I really wish you the best.
Maybe your family member has the spirit to do art, paintings. Art is more from the heart than the head.
Maybe consider janitorial or window cleaning! They pay a living wage in my country and it's the easiest work I've ever done. Far easier than fast food. I have a medical condition that affects my memory significantly and it's hard to learn new things. A lot of janitorial positions require experience, but you can get around that by finding a gym to apply to. Gym janitorial gigs are very simple, require zero experience and they have trouble keeping the positions full. You won't make as much as a janitor at a gym as you would being a janitor in a warehouse, but it's doable. And once you work there you can move on to office cleaning or something. One of my coworkers at the gym had down syndrome and couldn't speak very well and had trouble learning new things. HE WAS VERY VALUED. He was there everyday, that's what mattered. Rooting for your family member!
Interestingly, there is a chart with average IQ test results per country available online.
For example, South Africa scores an average of about 68 IQ. Top of my head.
This guy started at lvl 1 with the tenacity and mindset of a lvl 60. This dude has a lot of potential, he just needs to keep learning and pushing his brain. I'd love to see an update for this man.

Thank you. I was feeling really down today about dating. This is the mindset I needed to hear about.
This man is so admirable. No self-pity. Tries his best, works hard to improve, has a positive attitude. We could all learn a lot from this man. Many people in his position would just give up and not even try, he deserves all of his success.

@@themayneq IQ doesn't determine value of life and that's a lesson we're gonna have to face someday
Listening to you I am sure it's not simply an issue of low IQ.
The way that you've become aware, analyzed your difficulties, and applied solutions takes a certain type of intelligence even many really smart people fail to have.
You might have a specific area of learning disability, a memory disability, or possibly slower processing which isn't a limitation on conceptual understanding, it just means you need a little more time learning things.
Yeah, no way his IQ is 70. The way he broke this down, conceptually, and then arriving at a solution demonstrates problem solving ability and an ability to think abstractly.
Pretty spot on there, most people don't realize how little learning disabilities actually affect some people, the hardest part for me has always been patience if nothing else, but as long as you give half a shit about what you're doing you'll always eventually understand it just as well as anybody else. That being said I don't wanna sound like a pick me here I get there are still others who have more difficulty in general, but I do feel like the way some school systems handle this disability handle it like it means your literally fucking retarded or something (pardon my french but this stuff makes me upset) and this severely effects your self confidence and image of yourself or what your actually capable of, among many other things, messed me up pretty bad until I got out of special education in jr. high, but sheesh man it took me awhile to get readjusted, hearing this guy's story made me happy to hear
My thoughts as well. His speech is very concise kind of complex as well. I have talked to dumb people, they do not sound like this. And I don't think dumb-intelligent is a measure of worth, by the way.
@@bonkersdonkers7381is it possible he just didn’t receive a typical western education and/or perhaps isn’t great at the typical iq assesment tests? He seems like a pretty normal guy to me and actually seems to have above normal ability to asses himself and apply solutions.

You are an inspiration to others for not allowing your limitations getting in the way of finding a job and earning money for yourself. I have total admiration and respect for you, There are so many people without disabilities out there who will not take on a job that doesn’t pay particularly well until they are either better qualified or a better paying job more suited to their qualifications comes along.
I taught and did group therapy at a school for kids who were kicked out of their home schools for behavior issues, and most of them had learning disabilities. One of my girls had an IQ of 72, but her verbal was comparatively high, so the way she presented superficially was fairly typical. It's a totally different kind of rough, because everyone thinks you're understanding things way better than you are, and no one wants to constantly ask the world to slow down and speak carefully and simply.
I worked as a behavior technician for years and you tend to observe things over a period that long. The people with a "hard" mindset, believe in punishment etc are the ones that tended to be the least empathetic and patient with my students. I made sure to be corrective with those ones. The ones with a mindset like Mark's were the most empathetic, and honestly the most skilled overall. Those students learned faster with the patient teachers who were willing to go over every detail happily as opposed to the ones I call "shamers." Shamers tend to underperform in my opinion.

Everyone starts with low iq’s it is just we all develop at different stages. He might be later than usual but will probably develop his IQ above the average.
@@Will-nb8qk that is not how iq works mate
@@Will-nb8qk No. IQ is age appropriate and varies as one's brain develops. IQs are always calculated relative to a person's age. While the overall framework is fixed.
Brother you are very well spoken. Keep working towards you goal and don't let anything limit you. You seem like a very well aware man and im sure you'll succeed with your goals. Keep working hard brother!
go you bro, love this progress good on you
This really illustrates why we should all go through life NOT ridiculing people, period. We never know the situation, the conditions, the battles they had to fight and win just to be where they are. How sad it is to have someone in a position they truly struggled for, and then someone comes along and pushes them down and adds to that struggle. I don't want to be that someone, ever.
We may not be at this guy's level, but I guarantee that ALL of us have faced similar obstacles in some way, at some time, to some degree, that really maybe made our eyes well up a little at the unfairness of life. We should always deal with people with this in the forefront of our approach. Build up...don't tear down.
Don't be the cause of someone's despair.
My hat is off my bald head to you, friend! I wish you success, and with your attitude you WILL get it.
Cracked me up cuz my ugly a** bald head would never lose my hat for no one.
Its so strange watching you saying that you have IQ 70 and yet you are very articulate, introspective and self aware.
You are awesome. Keep it up man. My hats to you
I don't believe a moment that this man has an IQ of 70 in a reliable measures, based by the way he speaks. I don't like to be lied to, but I understand - if this is his 'niche' at the side hustle - - Which brings him some money, to ends meat. A man has to do, what a man has to do, and would you lie; or to be not able to eat so well? At in this man's situation I would lie - but there was no single thing in his speech, nor his actions; in the video - that would indicate that he has legitimately IQ as low as 70. I believe it is just an clickbait, and narrative, of his channel to be intresting.
He is clearly trolling
i dont think so @@darealberrygarcia
@@artavenueblnyea he is.
Yeah, I’m not getting 70 IQ vibes from him. Could this be a mistake in testing?
That is the mentality that will win for you in life, son. Where you struggle, work harder. When you fail, get back up and get back in the fight. KEEP FIGHTING! I love the McDonalds idea...if necessary, you can make them extend your training as long as you need by moving from one independently owned store to the next until you get it.
Young man, I know people with very high IQs who fail because they do not get what you get! Well done!!
For real this is true what I read we should not ridicule others! And you seem smart man! I have fallen on my head bad and suffered a few brain injury’s, and it’s made working really hard for me aswell!
one of my favourite videos on youtube. I rarely comment but I have to reach out to you to say that your humility has effected me more than the wit of the smartest brains. I was completely struck with how open you were to talk about something that a lot of people are unfortunately ashamed of. It’s unfortunate because there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a low IQ, just like there is nothing wrong with having blue eyes or dimples, to name more examples of things that you can’t change.
You’re a legend to me. Keep it up. Those likes are the least possible amount of people that are proud of you.
Affected
+@@calebmcmurdo9462 bless people like you. It's so useful for people learning a new language online.
This is really inspiring. Your attitude is better than 95% of "high IQ" people I've worked with.
nah this guy is at least average, he is either trolling (extremely likely) or tested poorly
Higher IQ people always tend to doubt themselves more than people with lower IQ.
@@velDANTewho made you an expert on iq? Tf
@@velDANTe You are not him so don’t speculate on what its like being him. I think its kind of a backhanded compliment to say he has a higher iq than he claims because you are undermining the work he had to put in to be how he is now.
How is it inspiring? 70 is higher than Africa, it’s not like they can’t hold a job
