    IQ is absolute nonsense that tells you literally nothing about intelligence or anything of the like.

      Don’t let you convince yourself of something just because you want to believe it’s true. IQ is not an objective measurement of intelligence, but it isn’t completely useless either.

        It’s worse than useless. It tells you literally nothing about anything, plus idiots think it’s meaningful.

          Well, it helped me understand why people would very regularly not understand apparently simple stuff I explained. This happened on so many topics with so many people it was very frustrating.

          I don’t think that makes them lesser than me or me better than them (the people not understanding)… It just means I had and still have to work on adapting my messaging to my audience ← and that is something that everybody regardless of IQ should do.
