What part of the brain executes logical thinking my fellow neurologists ? (I mentioned my IQ not because i think i'm intelligent , but because i want to state that i'm not dumb as a rock) IQ is pointless anyway.

right prefrontal cortex deals with humor, behavioral inhibition and negative introspective self awareness. are these functions impacted for you?

Pretty sure if part of the brain is damaged early on, other parts of the brain can take up the functions of the damaged part.
Iirc there was a guy who had just a thin film of neurons for a brain, like a water balloon, but they could function fine and had an IQ of like 115.

if you're talking about the hydrocephalus guy with a math degree, that story has no proof backing it up

Well, trying to follow your reasoning, it's obviously the prefrontal cortex.

I don't know...I've always behaved like I do right now(sort of).I'm a very happy person , I'm very impulsive but not violent. The only weird thing is that I don't comprehend how people get sad over things like the death of a loved person like a relative or a close friend.I managed to stay very happy when my sister killed herself(as an example). It may sound edgy but i'm just like that, of course I want the death of no one.

Thinking that you are not intelligent is not the same as thinking that you are dumb. I said that IQ is pointless because measuring something as complex as the human intellect with a logical skill test is a stupid thing for me. People that have over-average scores at the test tend to have better logical thinking skills because that's what the test is measuring.

yes, damage to the right hemisphere often results in inappropriate cheerfulness/positive affect, due to overcompensation by the left side of the brain

so, basically what you’re telling me is that I can bash the right side of my head to cure my depression? Sign me the fuck up.

It's not, it's best predictor of lifetime success that we have and pretty much the only solid metric in the entire psychology.

There is almost no correlation between measured IQ and the ability to make rational decisions.

You can find high IQ people who believe the most bizarre bullshit you can imagine. IQ measures the sensitivity to patterns, it doesnt measure the ability to discard false patterns.

Wrong, it's only predictive in the middle range (normal office jobs not controlled by profession, i.e. there is no correlation whatsoever between having high IQ and becoming a principal manager, as opposed to having low iQ and never going past a junior role - the correlation is between working in tech and working as a janitor). Anything outside this range (anywhere from correlation between being jobless and IQ to being a successful CEO and IQ to being rich and IQ) is nonexistent.
