Help me, am i turning retarded? Or is this attribute to temporary variables like: sleep deprivation, hunger, etc etc?
I'm really curious about this, please leave a comment if you have a opinion.
ur fine dude just hit the books
Do you really need to be told that you don't always use the full potential of your mental capacity ?
your iq is inversely proportional to how much time you spend on 4chan

I was not expecting that large of a fluctuations so it got me worried. I guess you are right though.

This.
Normally we only use 10% of our brain.

Kill yourself

the first time I took an IQ test I got 10 points lower due to feeling like I was going to fall asleep after to getting 4 hours of shitty sleep the night before and not eating breakfast
pic is incorrect, as staying up for an extended duration to correct sleep schedules is logical. as someone with obsessive type OCD, I have to correct my sleep schedule regularly due to insomnia related to that.

I love this meme.

It's probably from browsing /sci/. Time to leave forever.
>>7694608
That would refer to the latter option given then.
Can we stop with the IQ meme? It really makes /sci/ look like a bunch of retards

>Turning retarded
taking a iq test is the stupidest thing you can do imho
>>7694600
the highest I've scored 125, the lowest 118 and I'm still a retard for math why /sci/?
>>7695075
I almost agree, in my mind the stupidest thing you can do is fall for the Mensa scheme
>>7694815
Sorry, but this particular meme's been going on for longer than you've been alive and it isn't about to stop just because you ask nicely.
IQ tests are a measurement of how able you are to solve abstract puzzles and not how intelligent you are. Intelligence includes the ability to be socially functional and handle yourself
iq measures your mental age relative to the mean of that in a population of your physical age
so either your mental age stopped progressing or the average joe got smarter
>IQ test
nice b8

Got a 150 on the wisc3. I'm sure I've out-thrown my coverage, so I'm not going anywhere near that shit ever again.

No it doesn't.

130 too

122

>110
(Not official tests of course, decent online ones using mainly Raven's Progressive Matrices.)
Seems I should stop while I'm still above the mean, if I take one in 5 years at this rate I'll be in the 80's!
>jj lol
r-right!?
Now for serious matters, I took the IQ test after 3 beers I'd drunk 1/2 hours previously in the hope it would relax me and give my imagination more freedom. Thought I'd be more open to interpretations if I was relaxed instead of stressed/focused.
Oddly enough, I've always felt a lot more inspired and insightful after a few drinks, like the veil has been lifted and I see clearer, but even though I actually feel I'm more in touch with and utilizing my mental capacity a lot more after one or two, I'm obviously not.
Why do I feel more 'tuned in' after only 1-2 drinks but am actually at reduced capacity. . . .

Maybe you have Alzheimer's, or beginning stages of down syndrome. Get that checked bro.
>>7694634
Fuck off meme lord
>>7694600
Your ability can vary from day to day depending on many factors. There are some in the quantified self movement who play a series of freecell each week to track their general mental abilities. They almost all find a good bit of variation depending on stress, sleep, diet, etc.

euphoria and reduced anxiety come as side effects of the alcohol, these effect your perception of the 'difficulty' of the test. your apparent increased ability to focus is illusory.

>take IQ test at 12, 135 take IQ test now 130
nice
>>7694634
Oh no you didn't
Try being on over 12 psychiatric medication between the ages of 6 and 32.
My IQ in my adult life? From ages 25-32?
101 - 160.
Although I will confess I've also gone through some pretty stressing events as well, which could [more than probably] drastically effect the outcome.
Personally I believe most IQ tests are polluted by inductive demand fallacies.
But, it's the internet and I'm probably a pathological, confabulating liar.
Judge me.
;)

take another test.
if you get below 123, you have some kind of neurological diseases that will turn you into a vegetable.

It really doesn't matter.
>>7694634
That's only when we're awake, when we dream it goes up to 20% which is why so many surreal things can happen in your dreams.

>take IQ test never
>be happy
it really was an amazing moment when I decided to not take an IQ test my whole life
>>7696432
oops didnt mean to reply to that
>>7695932
This, its purely about how often and by which ways you actively stimulate your brain. My IQ was 135+ in 9th grade -> down to 110 after playing almost 600d of WoW over 4 years... now im 120-130 depending on test.
Main reason why most murricans are dumb as rocks is the amount of mindless zero-brain-stimulation garbage they consume daily (read: almost 5h of TV a day. And thats the AVERAGE). If they read as much intellectual literature you would have quite a different kind of country.
>>7696414
This actually makes sense.
i have a iq of 85.
euthanize me plz
If you're judging your self-worth on your IQ score you might be retarded
