Poll: IQ Tests!
11-19-2012, 10:21 PM
Thought this would be a fun observation, as I've been a thorough manosphere reader for almost 2 years now (started with Roissy, then he got all end-of-the-worldy and moved here where moderate voices prevail). I tend not to post much, but I learn.
I've noticed a major trend in many forum members and manosphere bloggers. We're all pretty intelligent, and came looking in the manosphere for "something more".
We should all take the test, and not be judgmental towards as each other, as we all know that intelligence =/= getting bangs, guts does.
I know this IQ test is basic and seemingly mundane, I think we'd all benefit from a little self-humbling. And it's kind of fun.

Where is the 'IQ tests are nonsense' option?

Bragging about IQ is lame. So says Stephen Hawking, and I think he has authority to speak on such matters.
That said, I'm a member of a well-known IQ society, and let me tell you: intelligence is not the way to game chicks. If anything, it's a hindrance. Not that you'd want to game any of the wildebeests who attend such gatherings.
Part of swallowing the red pill is realizing your intelligence is working against you. They all say they want a smart man - bullshit. Once I started lifting I got finer ass in greater quantity than I ever did by being able to explain Maxwell's equations at the drop of the hat. Women want a good dicking. Period.

But I agree that IQ works against you when it comes to game.

I'd like to think I'm above average, but I'm skeptical of any test that puts a number on something complex, intangible like intelligence.

I took an official IQ test when I was sixteen. I was 3 standard deviations above average.
It took me years before I had the emotional intelligence to parlay that into any sort of real world success.

The IQ Tests are free, but I'm probably going to try the Danish (.dk) one now.

As mentioned already very smart people guys often have poor game and social skills. Less intelligent men do much better than they do with women. But I think that the very best players (the top 5%, say) have both good game and very high IQ's. That would be the killer combo. If people actually used their intelligence to almost "read someones mind" in the moment, rather than just come up with abstract ideas as a solitary pursuit.
Agree that IQ by itself is not all that great. You really have to do something with it.
PS: I love how we're practically all 125+. We must all live in Lake Wobegon.

Not at all surprised that everyone listed themselves as being a couple of standard deviations above the norm.
