Resuming an old tradition

Topics include the validity of IQ, its usefulness in predicting functional outcomes, its social embedding and cultural loadedness, the biology behind IQ etc.

100-145 is midwit, you can hate me but that's the truth.
I personally scored 145.00000001, which means I'm a genious. Lowest IQ of STEM majors is 144.99999999999999999999, it is impossible to get more than F+ if you fail your IQ is lower than that.

Reminder that IQ is better predictor of life outcomes than SES

Suppose there was an easy and inexpensive method, medically and scientifically proven, to increase IQ by a couple points. Would it be worthwhile to invest money in a company that intended to offer this method to the governments of low-IQ areas like Africa, the western half of the USA, Romania and Brazil in exchange for cash?

Some chinese start-up is already trying to do that. Not that I'm particularly fond of it, but it's going to happen nonetheless.

Scored 134 on an official test and it bummed me out even though I'm in the top .5%. 134iq is literally the worst spot to be in, too smart to be blissfully ignorant and very self aware,but too dumb to do anything impressive

It's still better than people not understanding the difference between scales. Up until 2014 psychologists in my country scored tests with sd 24. Which is nice, easy to divide by 3, 4, 6, 8 etc. but there people who scored 150+ back then, which means "2 standard deviations or more". You can still find forum threads discusing IQ, where people are distressed by the fact they "lost" 20 IQ points.

If you have to define yourself through your IQ, your life doesn't offer much in the first place.

I've never taking an IQ test and I don't want to pay for a "credible" one on-line. Having said that, growing up in all my classes all my teachers always said that I was very talented academically, and I have a near perfect academic record. Just based off of that roughly speaking what is my estimated IQ? I recently started college. Does having a 4.0 all throughout high school mean I have an IQ of at least 170?

How is "life outcome" defined if not by SES?

It begs the question of why you convolved with SES other factors in the first place. Why not just tell us what the other components are that correlate with IQ other than SES?

It's 1/6^(standard deviations)
If we take 15 as the standard deviation (15.5 might be more realistic), that puts you at about 1.7%

I think I recall hearing the average Navy Seal scores 134. I think I also read that Seal commanders need a Mechanical Engineering degree.

In any event, you've got enough IQ that it's not going to be the limiting factor for many endeavors. It sounds like you might want to work on discipline or finding a worthy goal.

This method already exists and it's called iodine fortification of salt. For the few regions of the world suffering from iodine-deficient soil you achieve absurd returns on investment if its thorough enough to reach the entire population. It's not what individual companies do but on the level of NGOs or state-level agencies.

A couple of cents per TON of salt is all it costs to remove the impact of iodine deficiency in childhood on IQ(15 points), even thirdies can afford that. It's speculated that the dominance of sea-faring nations on the global stage before the 20th century was primarily due to access to iodine-rich seafood, meaning they weren't intellectually disabled when the rest of the world were and could conquer them all.
