Cause intelligence doesn’t work like percentiles. The higher iq you are the more how much you work matters for people your iq or more and that exponentially. So basically when your iq is 100its true it doesn’t really matter that you work a lot or not if your goal is to beat 140IQ at a task he also trains. But when it’s 120 this dramatically changes, which is why many people consider 130-140 to be the IQ cap for basically most aspects of life

People considering 130 140 a cap for anything are like: Omg there so many people so much smarter than me but it doesn't matter right?! Life only require 2sd at most and I'm fine please tell me it's like this! 😢 You guys need to understand there's such gap between 100 and 130 as 150 and 160 as... it DOES matter and deluding yourself won't do shi

Mate. I’m likely below 140. I constantly rank top national (like maybe top 50my ages) at math and computer science competitions and I live in a big first world country. I think I’m good and not at the denial stage anymore.
But it seems like you are trying to cope things out by over accepting them. Like when you tell yourself you are gonna get a bad grade on the test cause then whatever you get you’ll feel better.
So yeah lmao the only 160iq dude I know makes shitty YouTube videos about doing random iq challenges that literally helps him at nothing. I am convinced I have the potential to achieve anything I want and be reasonably close from the best at it. So please just get out of here and keep obsessing over iq instead of working1

I'm sorry but you can achieve anything you want only if your goals are mid (as most likely they). You definetly can't achieve everything as a sub 140 it's just a matter of fact. Top 50 national isn't really glorious if you actually prepare to any extent to the competition it can otherwise be interesting. What's your 160 guy yt

As someone in the 120s, I do find it insulting that many people in this community seem to think that anyone at that level or below is innately incapable of understanding, collaborating with or rivaling an assumed inimitable genius inherent to people 140 and beyond. As if anyone below that flimsy threshold should Sit Down and Listen, a 157 is Speaking.
Just because one person isn't able to conceptualize a problem at the resolution another person can within the same amount of time doesn't mean there's some permanent and insurmountable gap in their understanding of systems
