Has /sci/ ever read his works? This man's IQ is literally the highest(max score). The test was for the military, if I remember correctly. He learned words very fast, got himself around physics and meta-physics as soon as he could. There is a collection of his old books and notes on kindle called: "Portable Chris Langan"
Exhibit A in how higher end IQ result differences man mean nothing.

Is this IQ obsession an American thing?
No person has mentioned it here during my education in the UK at a top uni, or in my time at second level.
The attitude towards being smart here is one of 'study more', not 'my IQ is 150 but I'm just lazy lol'. Something's wrong with you faggots
>>7938848
It's just a meme on /sci/ newfriend
>>7938850
I've been on sci for about two years friendo
It's not just a meme either, one of my emails gets a Quora newsletter and every single one has about three stupid IQ questions like "What's Elon Musk's IQ?" "What would an IQ of 1000 be like?", "What's it like having a high IQ?" etc.
Do most US schools give kids IQ tests or is it literally just people with high IQs stroking themselves and spouting it across the internet?
>>7938863
No, no US schools give kids IQ tests. IT just the retarded internet being retarded.
>>7938848
This. I mentioned IQ to my mate, who's a head researcher at top 3 uni, and he laughed.
>>7938868
Thanks for the clarification.
>>7938863
Quora sends you e-mails based on the type of content you view. All of mine are about functional programming.
In other words, Quora knows you're the retarded frog/gorilla/bear poster on /sci/.
>>7938868
my school gave me an IQ test before putting me into the gifted education program 20 years ago.
>>7938875
Nice try.
I used it to view a question about projects you could work on with C that use graphic libraries and, since you need to make an account to use it, I made an account and now receive these emails.
You compsci faggots make me laugh
>>7938875
Bullshit, the emails I get are all IQ, fat chick dating and most painful death/torture clickbait questions
>>7938848
I'm an American grad student. I don't get it either. I've never cared about IQ.

His CTMU is both inscrutable and absolutely scintillating.
>>7938881
Was it an IQ test or just an "aptitude" test.
>>7938510
>got himself around physics and meta-physics as soon as he could
this is the part where you lost credibility
>>7938510
His IQ is literally in the triple digits.
I'm 47 years old and successful in my field.
>mfw last visit, my father asks me what my IQ is.

How did you even find this site?
>>7938863
Lol, getting exatcly same shit cos im doomed
>>7938869
> this faggot again
Just because your pleb friend works at imperial, doesn't mean he is qualified to talk about IQ.
>>7938863
Don't worry. I work as a math postdoc in the US. NEVER even HEARD someone mention iq.
>>7940357
>that loser undergrad with no accomplishments again
>>7938868
they do give the tests selectively, which i guess neglected any potential rainmen
>>7938848
americans quantize everything. It is due to their lack of vocabulary and it is part of their faith in their fantasy that science gives truth, especially through mathematics.

>Is this IQ obsession an American thing?
Pretty sure it's not considering that only when Europoors are awake is when I see IQ threads. Along with their characteristic "everything negative must be exclusively American" complex.
>>7940531
>>Pretty sure it's not considering that only when Europoors are awake is when I see IQ threads
exact opposite....
>>7940535
Currently 17:41 (GMT+1) and I'm seeing IQ threads and all of this bullshit memeposts everywhere on this board. Care to elaborate?
>>7940531
the biggest burden on western society is actually euro numales in my experienced opinion. the pear shaped, 50/50 anime intro/death metal listening, absolute drudges of society. they are the ones that buy into racial supremacy, IQ as racial validation, the propagation of western entitlement.
this small and weak demographic has voiced themself so strongly through the internet that they have reformatted many western minds. if i didnt think they were tricked into it by social scientists, i would unhesitantly call them the initial vector of western degeneracy
>>7940539
yeah and check the creation date
>>7940542
as well as the atheist movement, and using "logic" and "reason" as motivation for their every action, even when they consistently shit on the entire philosophy of logic and discourse
>>7940544
Posted literally 24 hours ago. You're still not explaining anything.
Tao's iq is higher
>>7942019
Some article says it's 230. But I've also read that it's impossible to test IQs above 200. So I don't believe it.
But I'd believe Langan's and Tao's IQs are both in the "untestable" range of mega-intelligence.
