advice for newbie (self.MGTOW)

Rocky9918 が 投稿

So I found out the other day through psych testing that my iq is below average. Quite a shock actually I didn't think I was dumb, I mean I knew I wasn't a genius but didn't think I was dull. I always did great in school.. I even had a genuine interest in the STEM field but obviously that's out of the picture now with this news. Is it worth me staying in college at this point? I'm at a great school but if I can't compete why bother. Should I go into a trade, or something that's suits my cognitive abilities better? Well thanks for any advice.

Do as you want to do. Don't let something like a low-IQ hold you back from pursuing something that genuinely fascinates you.

Lots of motherfuckers have high-IQs and squander their potential. Low IQ isn't a death sentence. Hell the fact that you're able to engage in mental contemplating over your situation is already a good sign.

The outliers is a great book on people with high IQ's and how even they fuckin sucked at life. The audio book in on youtube.

Don't let a fuckin test decide the rest of your life. Do what you want to do.

How many times did Michael Jordan fail? He said fuck it and blindly road off into the unknown. That's what you need to do.

what they said. There are a very few things in a man's life which he can't achieve 'Where is a will there is a way!' All you need is the will to do what you do and it will become reality.

IQ tests are NOT necessarily the be all and end all of that -- the tests aren't "perfect" by any means; and they CAN give "false" results.

Relative to STEM, how are your MATH abilities: Did you struggle painfully trying (and often failing) to comprehend "algebra" or "geometry"? -- Or did the stuff just "make total sense" and seem to come to you "naturally"?

And in response to those questions above, you HAVE to be brutally honest with yourself...

NO "bullshitting" about managing to pass the class or "get good grades" etc -- the stuff either "really made sense"... or you struggled with it (and maybe learned how to "do it" in a mechanical, methodical way, but without it ever actually "clicking").

IOW if you never had a moment when your brain lit up and you went "Aha! I totally 'get it' now... this means that, which means...[etc]"

If that NEVER happened... then STEM isn't for you. (You'll just be torturing yourself.)

If it DID happen... and you not only "got" algebra & geometry, but thought it was "cool" and you went off on your own tangent and got into things like logarithms and etc... then the IQ test is simply wrong.

Try to do something that you're good at and enjoy doing. My friend is a fucking dumbass and he's doing fine in engineering school because he works really hard. Just because some test says you're stupid doesn't mean you are, try to prove it wrong. I feel like an idiot sometimes but other times I think of myself as a genius. You might have to work harder than the average person to do well in school, but don't let that stop you from being successful.
