What do you think is the IQ of an average /pol/ user?
Many people here claim that they have majored in fields that require high IQ such as physics or mathematics or engineering. On the other hand, there are studies that show that people with conservative values are typically less smart than those with liberal values, and as we know, /pol/ loves conservative values.
>>55185229
>These totally legitimate and independent studies I found on the internet

>>55185229
Most of the values /pol/ espouses are libertarian ones, or at least they were until the past year or so.

I personally have 83 IQ, but it hasn't stopped me from achieving my dreams. I have a master's degree on CS, make good money from working and I enjoy my life.
I think IQ is overrated. It may be an indicator of success, but then again most people here supposedly have over 120 IQ and yet they haven't achieved that much in their lives.

Totally legit, unbiased studies, I'm sure. Not a bunch of tumblr-tier leftards trying hard to demonize any political opponent as hard as they can, nope, not all.
>>55186888
It's not that hard, really. Algorithms and math were a bitch (got 3 out 5 on both courses), but I did well on programming courses. I don't think I could pass a master's on mathematics or physics.
>>55185229
~100, maybe less.
There are a whole lot of stupid motherfuckers on this board.
>>55185229
My IQ is slightly above George Bush's IQ.
I don't think a lot of /pol/'s insanity has to do with intelligence.
I think it has to do with boredom. People on here are either unemployed or have no social capabilities. They just get on here and let their brain run wild with immigrant rape and all that other shit that shouldn't make any difference to someone with a full-time job and responsibilities.
>>55185229
I don't know about you but americunts are so *full* about themselves.
I'd say with 90% confidence that the average /pol/ack is between 97 and 107 IQ
Perhaps SLIGHTLY higher than average, just because most people on /pol/ have had basic education and are probably not in poverty.
>>55185229
Studies done on American conservatives don't really count. To be a conservative in America, all you need to do is oppose abortion and national healthcare. Hardly conservative values.

>>55187209
It's just not a realistic epidemic that /pol/ goes on about. Now you're so bored you're going to go out and look up these exaggerated numbers from this unreliable news source, because that's what you do.

Those studies usually go something like "More liberals have a college degree therefore liberals are smarter".
Not only is that nonsensical, it doesn't even make a distinction between Mathematics and a liberal arts degree. I'm pretty sure more women go to college than men, and I'm pretty sure women don't pick mentally intensive courses as much as men.

>we went to rural Mississippi to test the IQ of conservative voters.
>>55185229
so middle/high IQ people get indoctrinated at universities and this is meant to make use took bad?
Averaging over the tests I've take on the same IQ website over 4 years or so(tests taken maybe once a year) with SD of 15, I have something around 130.
The test should be standardized so it shouldn't be much different from a real one, but I take it with a grain of salt anyway.
Anyway, I'm majoring in maths.
P.S: The label "conservative" is a pretty shifty one. A person like Nietzsche nowadays would probably fall under the conservative label, even though his ideas are much different from your average mississippi conservative.
>>55185229
Probably an extremely wide spread. There are some very smart people on /pol/, but they are definitely minority. Average would probably be like 90, as tons of people just come here because it's edgy.
It's pretty easy to see what threads are very low-intelligence, so if you yourself have half a brain lying somewhere you can root out threads that has intelligent people in them.
When there are threads with an interesting angle to things, /pol/ does sometimes manage to hold an intelligent discussion about politics.
>>55190152
The fact that you don't understand the scientific methodology behind the study is pretty telling.
They took 15000 people and found that low childhood intelligence was a predictor of conservatism, homophobia, and authoritarianism.
There have been other similar studies where low intelligence was strongly correlated with religious belief.
>>55185229
No idea what my IQ is.
Scored a 2010 on muh SATs no studying and I've heard that correlates somewhat with iq. So that puts me in what, like the 85th, 90th percentile? Smart but not that smart. Which also correlates pretty well with my academic record.
fyi the ideology- at least in the U.S.- with the highest iq is libertarianism.
Also, every group has a significant number of people who're convinced that they're smarter than everyone else. Its human nature.
>>55186483
>What is selection bias
The reason why job threads are filled up with people in good careers isn't because pol is filled with genius millionaires nor is it filled with liars. People with good careers are more likely to post in those threads than people with shittier jobs.

>>55188580
IQ can change as you age.
All that means is you were dumber than most other 8th graders.
If its something you care about you can always get retested.
As a child I tested at 144
I certainly feel above average especially when seeing most of this board are NEETs who contribute as little as the minorities they bitch and moan about, but I sure as hell don't feel like a genius or close to. So I'm thinking I fluked on that test and I'm probably a single standard deviation above 100, but not 44 points above.
I'm an actuary and I'm as conservative as they come.

Those links you refere to are opposite to the general thinking. Its well known that concervative/ religious / poor ppl have lower intellegence. Athiest/ scientistic/ open minded ppl have higher on the smartness meter.

/pol/'s average intelligence is representative of the population at large, though we have a few outliers on either side of the bell curve.
This board just doesn't know things that it should. It's pretty painful to read Syria and Ukraine threads because imbeciles will just post utter bullshit with supreme confidence without knowing even the most basic facts about the subject matter.
That said, /pol/ is less biased and more knowledgeable in war threads than /k/ and that's really fucking sad.
Other than that, some really smart dudes post here and generally the diamonds shine through the mud.

I don't care that much anymore. Being stupid was a sore point when I was a child, but I feel that I've done pretty well for myself these days.

And he was way smarter than me, so I'm more than content being stupid if the other alternative is to be smart and stack boxes.

These studies are either biased or flawed or are pushing an agenda. There are stupid people AND smart people who are conservative.
Also beware of selection bias. /pol/ is an international board of polyglots (if you're not Anglo and/or former Anglo colony then you're by definition a polyglot since you speak your national language + English) interested in world/current affairs, so I would expect the average user to have an above average IQ. (Legit shitposters excluded.)

Liberals control the colleges right now and do their best to silence disagreement, so they get free reign to indoctrinate the upper half of the population.

Fun Fact: neither education nor poverty has any effect on IQ. IQ is genetics, experts say about IQ is 75-80% hereditary.
