Professionally tested IQ of 88, here.

How has having a low IQ affected your gaming ability and habits, for those of you like me?

RTS and most strategy games are virtually unplayable for me, since I can't see the repercussions of a move or action for anything but the very, very near future. Spacechem and Factorio made me depressed.

I also can't play roguelikes since I can't manage equipment, and I can't play fighting games since I can't really read people. I've also never been above average at any genre of vidya. I'm only average in twitch shooters and shmups.

Have any of my fellow dimwits found success in gaming?
>>
I've never gotten my IQ tested but that sounds a lot like me. I'm afraid I have a low IQ like you, anon. Where can I get tested? Also, I can play roguelikes but the strategy part is fucking dead on.
>>
>>345349272
Play Civ games, you can go online and act like you're a hardcore tactician but in reality it requires no skill at all.
>>
>>345349272
You seem way too articulate for someone with a supposed IQ of 88.

What if you simply don't learn the same way that others do? Maybe you just need some more time to adapt to the different patterns you need to recognize in strategy games.
>>
RTS just takes memorization and speed. I'd argue its a good genre with people of low IQ and bad for people of a higher IQ who want more challenge and variety in games.
>>
>>345350059
Vocabulary use is just a function of memory anon. Maybe OP is just super insecure about his IQ and reads a ton of books to try and compensate
>>
IQ is a meme you fucking dunce. it doesn't tell you how smart you are currently, it's kind of telling you how smart you could be. people with an IQ of 120 something could be fucking stupid and people with an IQ of 90 could be smarter than that person
>>
>>345350059
That's only because I've read a bit. I've been tested twice with the Stanford-Binet and once with the Welscher adult IQ test.

I got an average of an 88. My deficiency is very real.

For comparison, I usually get around 110-120 on online tests.

I got a 116 on this one. iqtest.dk
>>
>>345350059
Could be ADHD. Especially with the gimped time perception beyond short-term, that's one of the biggest problems I have with it. Also makes you feel really dumb when you get how to play a game, but your brain shorts out while you're playing it and other people call you a retard for it. :(

I took both and got about the same results, but I can't help but feel that online IQ tests aren't reliable.

>>345349272
You dont need a high iq for fps. Although honestly, if you practice enough and read guides, you can get good at strategy with the exception of truly low iq scores. (Even lower than yours)
>>
>>345349272
141 IQ
I am also bad at RTS and strategy games, but its because I don't enjoy them so don't put much effort in.
Puzzle diversions in games I tend to breeze over, but I know people that do the same and are otherwise stupid (one of my best friends is a lovable idiot)

I think the most impressive puzzle I solved in a game was The Witness.
Solved that one puzzle with the elevator with broken wires and the different coloured rooms, after my friend and his friend had been at it for hours. That's the only time I actually felt smart from solving a video game puzzle.

My IQ is probably lower than 141 these days. I got tested ages ago and have since been a chronic underachiever, so I've been getting stoned every night and not really honing my intelligence in any way (since it never helped me anyways)

140-150 here but I can't handle RTS either. Micromanaging several units is hard, and if there's a base on top of that its impossible. I am at my limit in tactics already like Battlefleet Gothic, and that's only like 5 ships or less at once.

you do know IQ is heavily outdated right? It's only used by people with a certain type of intelligence to increase their status and keep hold of valuabe resources.

http://infed.org/mobi/howard-gardner-multiple-intelligences-and-education/

Always remember - if you feel like you've lost, someone else is allowed to feel like they've won.

Also, let go of the illusion that intelligence is fixed and doesn't develop under the right stimuli, plenty of research to prove otherwise.

iq is quite a useless measure.

as someone whose worked with both intellectuals who are near or at their top of the field as well as more average/'stupid' people constantly all my life: the usual concept of intelligence is bullshit.

I would bet my life that intelligence is 100% dedication and hard work. a bad environment growing up can put you at a disadvantage, but you can overcome that yourself later in life.

Probably would get a bit higher now. But if you want cognitive improvement I'd suggest...

1. Ketogenic or just plain low-carb high-fat/protein diet
2. Intermittent fasting
3. Strength Training (4x a day, 30 minutes is literally enough. But actual strength training. No aerobics.)
4. ADD/ADHD meds (because modern society has screwed up neurochemical regulation in a majority of neurologies)
5. Ignore the news. It does not help you. As Taleb said, there is no money to be made from information millions of people already know.
6. Wear blue blocking glasses right before sunset and throughout the night. Blue light inhibits melatonin and the production of melatonin signals behavior and activities in the body that otherwise would not be going on in the day or direct sunlight (like the building, autophagy, and repair of skin cells)
7. Avoid american flour like the devil. Iron supplementation in flour will probably be regarded as one of the greatest public health mistakes ever committed

of course, but the point is those people with higher intelligence aren't that way because they've been born that way. you can become as intelligent as them with hard work, and then you can learn stuff as quickly as them. also this effect is often exaggerated. everybody who starts music is shit at it.


so to continue, I'm basing this on the simple fact that there's literally only one common thing between all really intelligent people I've ever met (and the opposite is the one thing 'stupid' people have in common):

the 'intelligent' ones have been bashing their heads against hard problems for decades of their life. at work, in their spare time at home. the 'stupid' ones go home and have a beer, go out with friends and do social stuff. nothing hard ever meets their brains, so they don't grow intellectually.

IQ is measurable. REAL intelligence? Much harder, if not impossible.

IQ tests measure your ability to do IQ tests.
>>
>>345349272

IQ measures quite a few different areas to create an average. Most of which are kind of irrelevant to intelligence. For example, general knowledge.

At best IQ tests can measure how effectively you can learn and solve a problems, which can change with more experience in solving problems.

Theirs no reason why you can't improve your IQ score. Learn your own ways to solve problems and eventually it will become second nature.

Source: Me. I left school with no qualifications, no college and now studying a legit STEM degree once I learned how to solve problems (though I am an oldfag).

I dont know what a high or low iq has to do with being able to play games. I went through a test that qualified me for a program where I could repeat 2 grades and get my a level (need to go to a university) which means I probably am not that shit (25000€ investment for 2 years of school) and I am mostly shit at games. Sure I am decent at character action games and dark souls and 4k games but neither need a high iq, roguelikes are one of my favorites but demand more practice than anything else, rts is just muscle memory and shooters are reaction based. mmos are just shitty rythm games that too, need practice and memorization. Idk op u are just probably shit in games but that has nothing to do with your iq

Games are very hard for me. I couldn't finish Portal. Even playing the game with a youtube walkthrough didn't help me because I kept looking at my computer then at my TV and the different screen size confused me so I shot Portals at the wrong parts of the puzzle areas.

I mostly play simple shooters and platform games (and I even struggle with those, for example whenever I play Mario I end up getting the mushrooms and Koopas confused and losing lives)

I doubt a majority of the people here actually get their IQ evaluated by a licensed professional.

I had to get a full psychological evaluation, twice because the first one was run by retards except the IQ tests are basically idiot proof in how they're administered. And I got a 124 on both of them. On the other hand I can't function in society or hold a job due to the fact all my social interactions for over past 12 years have been almost exclusive through 4chan.

There are so many transformations from one cell to the next that all you can hope to do is repeatedly check "is it doing this then this in this direction" and see if it holds.

You're joking right? If the IQ test you listed only encompasses critical thinking in finding patterns, then it's no wonder some people can score higher than their general IQ. Also, if you get so many wrong in a row, they just stop the test there and don't even do the rest. In this case, you might be able to raise your score by correctly guessing a few of the harder questions.
