Stop giving INTJ's a bad name. There's fucking awesome individuals of us.
when you get to true genius level IQ... those people are just as likely to be working in gas stations as they are to be professors. when you are smart enough to see where all the pieces are positioned on the game board of life, you might decide it's just not worth playing that game.
I'd post that comic of that shows a person of average chad intelligence tall enough where everything looks wonderful... then it shows a taller genius who sees the bleak reality of the world.
This times a million.
I was placed in the gifted program since day one, always receiving top grades in school, Sophomore Year I was able to undertake a research project of my own for college credit, something usually reserved for seniors. Of course I eschewed this route and decided to pursue art instead. Turns out I'm not half bad at it, especially writing.

This guy knows what he'said talking about. Once you get to truly remarkable levels of genius, you get people like Ted Kaczynski (IQ 160), who simply see the world for what it is and sometimes choose to not play the game. The people who are gifted or entry level genius tend to choose high powered careers, often as a way to stroke their own ego...but once you get to the deep levels of high IQ, like anon said, those people are just as likely to be a mechanic as they are to be a professor or doctor.

A boy falls in love with a girl.Unable to confess, he is gifted with by a deus ex machina with the girl's phone number. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls her, and is overjoyed to find out that she has a crush on him as well. But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day's confessions to the girl, she only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, he finds out that the girl he called is not the same girl he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn't exist in this universe at all. She is the girl's alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC's own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of her crush. Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of LOVE./spoiler]

I think the problem with people who are really high IQ is that they can actually depersonalize themselves from their own lives.
People of moderately high IQ will use it to boost and improve their own experience of life, but people who are too smart for their own good will be constantly questioning the point of doing anything. Why bother having a good job? Why bother having a girlfriend? Why bother having children? Why bother being a leader or a patriot or acquiring wealth or power?
The great irony is that NOT working on instinct is as great a danger for an individual as doing so.

the endless competition of life seems meaningless to me because i've spent too much time thinking about it. everyone dies in the end. very few are remembered so what's the point?
i'm not genius level IQ but it's significantly higher than average. i can't relate to anyone and i can't find meaning in the things they find meaning in.
in some ways it's given me a feeling of freedom lately but what good is freedom if there's nothing you really want to do with it?

Personally, I would say happiness is the only reason to live. What's the point otherwise?
They say you can do any job in the world with an IQ of 115. If you have an IQ for 115, you can be a fully capable brain surgeon, astrophysicist, computer engineer, etc. I'm currently attending a top US medical school with a lot of self-proclaimed geniuses, and I am at the top of my class. These are kids who attended Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc. I've never taken an IQ test myself, but I like to believe that I'm just a super hardworking guy with only a modestly above average IQ. I don't know if it's true, but it feels more noble that way. Achieving a lot with a little is always more impressive. What good is a genius level IQ if you don't do anything notable with it?
>>29517479

>>29517945
I don't want to know my IQ. I don't really want to know where my limits are in terms of intellect.
>>29517909
>Personally, I would say happiness is the only reason to live
Using that logic, the best way to live is to lie in a bed doped up on opiods. Equating life's purpose with happiness is a terrible philosophy and is counterproductive for success. There's a reason why no classical civilized society believed this.
Any other high IQers have to deal with parents who say that I can't call myself a genius to other people unless I have something to show for it?
I think they are jealous of my gifts, personally
IQ means absolutely nothing. "Yeah wow I can solve logic puzzles real fast, have great memory, and multitasking skills."
What about social abilities? Introspection? Mental stability?
The smartest people I know are "losers" in the traditional sense.
>>29517967
I feel pretentious falling in line with that, but I feel like it really is true. I'm obsessed with the state of the world. I can't stop thinking about about the state of existence. The concept of suffering drives me insane. Especially with children. Think about how much children suffer, how many lives end before they've even started. I have my own personal reasons to being attached to that concept, but even so I feel like it's objectively significant. But beyond that, everything is just overwhelming. I don't understand how people hold themselves together in the face of this reality.

You're parents are right though. It's extremely cringe worthy to call yourself a genius when youre a basement-dwelling NEET. I'm >>29517945. I will never take an IQ test because I wouldn't want to know if I was a genius. I like to believe that I'm just slightly above average and in no way a genius even though I am absolutely destroying kids who genius level IQ's in medical school. Diligence and self-discipline are infinitely more impressive and respectable than some test score. It's about what you DO in life, not what you are theoretically capable of doing.
>>29518050
except if youre realistic then you see just as much good in the world, if not more because of how it affects your health and well being. or you have a fucked up sense of whats good and bad and you're not a genius, you're just an ordinary consumer who has given in to fear.
>>29518066
>Then what is the reason to live?
That's something specific to you. But generally, it should be something with a grander purpose, such as a specific sense of fulfillment or contribution to a larger than life ideology. If you have a specific goal like that, then you can far more easily get through harder periods of life where you will not feel happy. Wherein if your goal is happiness, you will give up once things get tough and you don't feel happy any more.
basically, happiness is one of the most destructive life philosophies that exist.
>>29518146
Right, I'm not smart because we disagree philosophically on the significance of suffering. I'm so stupid and afraid.
>>29517362

I usually just scoff at them.

Seeking out a 'grander purpose' is just a method of achieving delayed happiness. Everything you're referencing is just a method of achieving happiness.
>>29518172
if that disagreement means you live like most people, endlessly stressed out about shit that has nothing to do with you, yeah i wouldn't call that smart. unless your whole goal in life is to make yourself miserable and poorly adjusted, but the smarty pants special snowflakes with that goal just take a lot of drugs.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. I'm aware I bring most of this on myself, and it appears that I want it this way. And I wouldn't say I get stressed out about things that don't have anything to do with me, but if you're telling me it's unintelligent to care about things in the larger picture, you don't have much ground to stand on.
>>29517776

You don't have to be smart to think that, most of us robots have the same view.

life is suffering. the only way to prevent suffering is to not be alive. so unless you want to kill children, you will never save them from experiencing suffering. same goes for adults.
at some point you have to make the choice to let go of things that you have no control over.
i try to make that choice and it sometimes works but i still sometimes feel like
>I don't understand how people hold themselves together in the face of this reality.
the only thing to do is reduce suffering in the small ways that you can. if you can choose not to make other people suffer, then maybe you are doing the right thing.
it's still overwhelming but you'll have your little victories to dwell on instead.
>>29518246
I would if I could.
>>29518253
I'm aware life is suffering. I realize I have no control over it. That doesn't mean I'm going to like it. I understand the logic in the second half of your post, but I'm not currently functional enough to go in that direction.
>>29517362
>I'm so smart and awesome that I can't make friends. People are too awestruck.
This whole thread can be made into " You're not as smart as you think you are " and no , just because you're """""""""smart""""""""" won't result in having no friends; if anything, you should know how to deal with people who are less dumber than you, like how an adult roleplays with a child.
>>29518321
who are dumber*
A typo
>tfw probably only average intellect
I've never done an IQ test though, but the results would probably be a disappointment anyway.
>tfw you wish you had some more intellect
Or at least a lot more self-discipline, motivation, and ability to focus on whatever activity at hand, that would help a lot already.
It's quite possible to make friends really, even with high IQ. I've got some bloody intelligent friends.
Learning social skills isn't impossible, and boldly assuming that with your high IQ also comes an above average learning and adaptive ability, it's quite easy even.
Look into non-verbal communication, read up on social cues and learn to spot and use them (even simple things like open and closed body language makes a huge difference), read up on all those tips on how not to only talk about yourself but listen as well, actually genuinely be interested in other people, avoid acting all superior, be somewhat humble for bonus points, go to places where people with similar interests will go to, and there you have it: high potential to make friends.
Going to some knitting club while you hate knitting, and talking about the latest theories on quantum physics and whatnot won't really help you connect with people there.

This is pretty much how I try to live my life. Even though in the grand scheme my life is meaningless and we're all going to die anyway and we'll never amount to anything significant to the world let alone this galaxy or the universe as a whole, I might as well try to live my life contentedly and try to be a positive presence to people around me at least.
I won't end world suffering with it, but hopefully it'll make the suffering a bit less severe for those around me at least - beats adding for the suffering of others in my opinion.
>>29518458

carry on then, i guess. just remember that there's nothing noble about taking the world's problems on your conscience and then doing nothing about it. and that you only get one life to make a difference. if you waste it, it's over.

look senpai, if this were it, he would have done it already.
it's not abt "buckling down". you can only "buckle down" so many times at a task which makes you existentially miserable.
i'm sick of the 4chan "tough love"; your solutions are moronic. think harder. then try again.
fun fact: geniuses don't do social skills because you're so fucking boring. stop it. seriously, stop it.
>>29518949
>lots of money
i'm floored that you can, like, even care that much
fun fact: when you're smart, money doesn't matter. you can still do whatever you want. i have a v comfortable life living below the poverty line, because i'm just that good. i don't have to work either, but i do anyway.
OP will finally figure out something he finds worth doing. it's probably something he's already doing. good luck OP.

Conversation isn't just for enjoyment. It fucking gets you things (pussy, career advancement, social advantages). I hate people that try to fall behind that old excuse of "oh well, I'm so smart that I think people just don't say anything interesting so I don't talk to them". You're straight up admitting you're too fucking stupid to understand one of the major points of socialization.
So no, you're probably not as intelligent as you think you are.
