 { Also consider this: even if you're average, or even a bit below average, you're still [homo](gay.md) sapiens, so as long as you're not a [feminist](feminism.md) or [capitalist](capitalism.md) you'll always be the absolute top organism in intelligence, a member of by far the absolutely most intelligent species that ever appeared on [Earth](earth.md), your intelligence greatly surpasses great majority of living organisms. If you are able to read this, you already possess the great genius, you mastered language and are among the top 0.1%, there's no need to compare yourself to others and aim to be in 0.01% instead of 0.02%.

+{ It's still more and more complicated the more you think of it, even for example success in mathematics may sometimes depend less on pure math skills and more on non-mathematical kind of intelligence, e.g. that of observation skills and communication -- that's what academia is about. Yes, you need some creativity, but the ability to quickly understand ideas of others may sometimes be superior, an idea you "steal" from someone else is as useful as idea you came up with yourself, you need to catch many ideas of others and connect them together; on the other hand struggling with communication is sometimes simply like not speaking a common language at all. Thinking back I for one have always been quite retarded at understanding what others wanted to say, even simple things, so in classes I frequently wouldn't understand what was being taught while others understood, but it wasn't because I wouldn't understand the concept itself, I rather didn't understand the way the teacher explained it because (I think) I think differently about things. When we were given tasks to solve on our own, I usually beat my classmates because that was only about creative intelligence, not communication, and in this I think I was better than most of my peers. I didn't go for PhD later on while some of my classmates did -- TBH I don't think it's because they were necessarily more intelligent in general (many of them for sure were), but because they felt better in this world of communication, sharing papers, talking to others, understanding their ideas and collaborating, they had the "better mix" of intelligence for today's academic world -- this I always had problems with, so it contributed to my decision to not go there. This is just to show that this world is quite complex. ~drummyfish }

 **Fun fact**: in some US countries idiots and similar low IQ level classes are legally prohibited from voting :D
 
 It's been observed that the **IQ of a group** is roughly equal to the IQ of its least intelligent member divided by the number of group members.

 If you play [chess](chess.md) and your [Elo](elo.md) rating (in any of the popular pools) is *X*, it's been stated that your IQ is at least *(X - 1000) / 10*. This is only a lower bound, it will approach your real IQ only if you dedicate great deal of your life to chess and reach very close to your true potential. But yeah, this kinda funny and super inaccurate.
 
-IQ is a predictor of achieved education, so if you went to University, you can kinda estimate your IQ too, but not that accurately. If you have a degree in [math](math.md) or [physics](physics.md) your IQ is most likely at least 130, 135 and 140 for bachelor's, master's and [PhD](phd.md) respectively. This is similar for other "hard"/STEM/math-like fields like mechanical engineering, chemistry or [computer science](compsci.md) (webdev, software engineering and so on doesn't count though) -- maybe just subtract 5 from the lower bound here. This doesn't hold for shitty meme "universities" like those in India and for meme studies like "management" or "computer security without math" where they just teach you how to install an antivirus. For humanities and "soft" shittier fields like psychology or arts a degree says your IQ is maybe above 110. Also these estimates don't hold for degrees given to [women](woman.md) after they year 2000, sorry -- they now give degrees to women just for being a woman who tries to get a degree, you'll have to estimate your IQ another way. If you have a degree in [gender studies](gender_studies.md), your IQ is below 30.

 **The LRS test**: Here is a quick but extremely accurate IQ estimate. Let *x* be the approximate amount to which you agree with [LRS](lrs.md), expressed in percents. You IQ (SD 15) is approximately *2 * x*. If you can't compute that, subtract 200.
