I thought y’all could use a break from all these cognitive tests and might like to take a personality test which can be found right here. Please take it before reading the comments or researching personality tests because that might influence your scores which I would love for you to post in the comment section given all the interesting characters we have here. The great thing about this test is not only does it give you scores on six broad personality traits (written on the score report in capital letters) but also 25 subscales.
The broad personality traits are probably more reliable since they’re an aggregate of four subscales each but the subscales are interesting too.
Both the broad traits and the subscales are scored on a scale where Canadian university students (an equal number of men and women) have a mean of 5 and a standard deviation of 1. Since university has become so common, I assume the sample is somewhat representative of young Canadian adults on the whole.
| Personality scaled score | Z score | Percentile (≈) |
|---|---|---|
| 2.0 | -3.00 | 0.1 |
| 2.5 | -2.50 | 0.6 |
| 3.0 | -2.00 | 2.3 |
| 3.5 | -1.50 | 6.7 |
| 4.0 | -1.00 | 15.9 |
| 4.5 | -0.50 | 30.9 |
| 5.0 | 0.00 | 50.0 |
| 5.5 | 0.50 | 69.1 |
| 6.0 | 1.00 | 84.1 |
| 6.5 | 1.50 | 93.3 |
| 7.0 | 2.00 | 97.7 |
| 7.5 | 2.50 | 99.4 |
| 8.0 | 3.00 | 99.9 |
Pumpkin Person 
Apparently by this test I have a low extraverted character.
The 4th percentile
Meaning 96% of this population is more extraverted than I am.
–
H – 115.6 (84)
E – 103 (59)
X – 74.35 (4)
A – 108.25 (71)
C – 111.7 (77)
O – 107.35 (69)
(Interstitial) Altruism – 109.9 (73)
Low extraversion
Wow, you converted all your scores into the IQ scale and then added percentiles. lol! That’s going to confuse people. Do you have a screen shot so we can see how you did on everything including the dozens of subscales?
Yes
I’ve taken it twice, once earlier this year and once 15 years ago.
Yeah did this 15 years ago too.
Personality is interesting. It changes more than IQ and especially neurology.
Asking puppy/Anime to make an explanation of why some people become rich and others do not gets to the very heart of why they don’t understand economics and in this particular blog…why many billionaires are dumber than the average commenter here.
No the heart of the issue is you equate IQ with education thus underestimate the IQs of less educated people like trump & Oprah
The heart of the problem is you think a person’s bank account is a better predictor.
Whereas I look at the entire picture.
Because you can’t see the picture (maybe also literally in your head) and I can.
I don’t need to really on calculators, measuring tapes and flimsy empirics.
You do.
Thats why I need 2 clues. And you need 40 clues.
Translation: you’re too dumb to do stats so you pull numbers out of your ass
You said IQ was 130 for multibillionares. Name the stats. Name the data.
people are rich because they found a way to game the system
my belief is that capitalism works and pill said no
therefore I said you cannot destroy capitalisms and pill said (“social movements”)
thus pill is stupid about how capitalism functions because no social movement will ever destroy it.
–
pill is just obstinate and says I am wrong even when I say the same things he does. social movements do change some things on a micro scale but not on a macro scale i.e. you will never destroy capitalism but pill doesn’t care he doesn’t understand the differences in why things are the way they are.
How do you get mansions for everyone? robots?
that is the only way it will happen.
we don’t have enough workers and they do not have the skills and murdering the federal reserve chief as pill proposes (“social movements”) will not make them give people money. and no one wants to do that on a mass scale because they cannot organize. pill is stupid and just says I am wrong no matter what is true about reality.
pill will never address these issues calls them autistic
there are real issues why people cannot organize
because pill expects things to happen when they cannot
he does not understand the conditions under which they would need to happen:
–
anime: before the technology existed we could not go to the moon
pill: yes we could
anime: but before the air plan was made in 1903 we could not even fly across the Atlantic ocean
pill: social movements dumb ass
anime: so we could go to the moon in 1812 with a social movement?
pill: your autistic
anime: ^sad
Mugabe knows. Its called artificial scarcity. To give you an incentive to serve.
Thank you for your comment! Need humour in the morning.
So how do you stop the artificial scarcity.
If that was solved we have moon base by 2000 like in the scifi novels.
You pill don’t understand incentive works in changing society.
We cannot change the system without changing what people believe so we need to change there incentives.
It is entirely possible to do this or that project but we have not even sent people back to the moon because no one cares.
You pill do not understand how to change the mass incentive to do what is needed. How do you get people to care about doing your project of eliminating artificial scarcity?
You again fail to understand humans organizational principles.
pill said he wrote an essay about Marx when 20 and the teacher said he plagiarized it when in fact he did not.
Yet pill does not understand the material conditions under which we would need to have the social movements to build everyone a mansion?
Martial conditions (the technology not just poverty) for certain social movements are required is what I am talking about.
pill says that is wrong
he is a clown and a buffoon
We did give everyone a house in the 1960s-80s. It was called ‘council housing’
There used to be slums in most western countries….
America is different because it was a frontier society. The settlers stole land from indians.
Read a history book. Not an ayn rand novel.
I am not talking about doing the impossible you are.
You think I am stupid for not reason and are projecting your own failures onto me.
Why did we not have a moon base will millions of people on the moon in the year 2001 – because no one cared and no one was incentivized to do it.
You piece of shit don’t care about what is needed to be done to get things done you only call people names.
The problem with Marx is that social conditions play an important role in society not just material conditions.
Brain wash people to do what you want and they will do it.
In the west they used pleasure and patriotism and religion.
In the soviet Blocks they used fear and lies and paranoia.
Thus we have what we have in economics.
The problem is youre not a real person. You don’t have a real person’s neurotype. So you can’t see what is possible.
Frankly, you can’t even be aware of what happened.
You think public education wasn’t possible with the material conditions of the 1920s? What do you mean material conditions?
Money?
Thats fake you know that right?
Its value is controlled by central banks…
Your a piece of shit.
YOU don’t understand that we need people to care in order to get things done. YOU blame me for what is needs realistic goals to be set by people that you don’t know how to do. Yours a failure and hate people just because you can.
If it is possible to put millions of people on the moon then you need to get people to care like elon musk has been doing since 2009 – it just doesn’t happen in a fairy tail like way.
if you believe we can educate people to eliminate artificial scarcity then start doing it. Its not my fault you are a degenerate that cannot understand basic principles of human organization.
So 80% of people in portugal were illiterate in 1920.
How would you solve it?
Give them loans to go private school? Free markeing?
Is that going to solve it quick enough dummy?
Hahaha. You libertarians are silly billies.
Fucktard,
Stop saying I am the one keeping everyone back.
Either tell people how get this goal done or shut up.
You blame people for what they cannot control.
Wipe your ass and stop eating your own shit.
You are the reason we don’t have what we need.
Assholes like you keep society back not me.
And many peasents. Who dont’ know. Wont send their sons (and defo daughters) for private secondary to leanr to read for lots of debt. Some will. Some wont.
And some private schools will be scams.
And the ones for the upper class wont.
Interesting how libertarians ‘think’. Totally a-historical. Like history started this morning and we have to figure it all out with no data.
If is people like you that ruin everything pill.
You created this system by not helping others pill.
You don’t understand history or economics and have no social intelligence. Picking on people because you can makes you an imbecilic.
I know everything you are talking about but I realized that I cannot help others because I am poor and no one listens to me. Your hatred of others is why no one listens to you.
If the rich people are the problem do something about it. Incentivize people. Don’t hurt people that don’t control the system and have nothing to do with making artificial scarcity go away.
Again what pill is saying I know everything about but pill blames me when his lazy ass wont try and fix the problems just wines and complains that anime is the problem i.e. not a real person, pill is a sociopath. No its people like pill that have the power to change the system but don’t and pill is a coward and blame the little guy for his insecurities about not being powerful enough to try and make peoples lives better.
Anime is probably the lowest IQ commenter actually. He can’t read. THats going to be a big problem.
Austin Slater – What do you think of the AL MVP choice? I think it’s obvious that Judge was the better player this year – other than HR and RBIs (Judge missed like 7 or 8 games which of course gave him 24-32 fewer PAs), the gulf between Judge and Raleigh was too great. The OPS/OPS+ and wRC+ was too great (WAR, not so much but the defensive adjustment got catcher made it closer).
Judge is on another planet—we’re watching this generation’s Babe Ruth.
ANd the other thing you said the average multibillionaire is 130 IQ.
Wheres the data set?
….
Theres none. Youre basing it off a few forbes romance dating profiles.
DO you know 60-70% of wealth is inherited in the world?
Even if you can prove the first generation is a genius?
Can you prove that about the second, the third and the entire trust fund beneficiary list?
You think all the Saudi royals are geniuses?
Puppy stop reading forbes. You might literally learn more about the world talking to random people in a bar than reading forbes dating profiles for billionaires.
I specifically said self-made MULTIbillionaires average 130 (in the U.S.)
Their kids would average 114. And in lower IQ countries like Saudi Arabia maybe 100
You say ‘self made’ a lot.
So if you are born to a diamond mine owner in the top 1% of the south african wealth distribution.
And you go on to be the richest in the world.
Is that ‘self made’? Genuine question. Not trying to trick you. I want to know what youre neurology thinks about that concept ‘self made’
It’s a relative term. Compared to the Waltons he’s self-made but compared to Oprah and George Soros, he’s not
I want to know how fungible concepts are in your head. Or are you super rigid.
So on Uncle Forbes list. Would you classify him as self made
Is steve forbes a genius?
And I don’t mean, mendacious, evil one.
I mean, literally able to work for NASA.
Of course not but he’s also not self-made
The things you say don’t even make sense prima facie.
If most scientists, academics and NASA organisation/Max Planck workers are not billionaires. Not even millionaires.
And most 130 IQ are these types and not living in Monaco.
Then what is the real relationship between the bank accoutn and IQ variable?
You need to start passing IQ tests puppy and stop failing them. You’ve been failing them for 30 years. Its time to graduate from high school. Basic basic logical reasoning here.
Just because most smart people are not rich does not mean most rich people are not smart. Most tall people are not in the NBA. Does that mean most NBA players are not tall? You’re so stupid pill.
Thats fair. But you made the claim ultra rich people are geniuses. Not me.
And you have not data set. You just have tinder dating profiles.
I’d guess if they IQ tested all the world’s billionaires it would be a lower average IQ than most ivy league colleages i.e. 120.
According to Anime, your libertarian comrade thats not smart….
I think puppy would be totally shocked at the actual life of the average 130 IQ plus person in the world.
Its a lot closer to Chris Langan than Elon Musk
Of course it would. Just as one in a million incomes regress to one in 50 IQ, one in 50 IQ regress to one in six level income
Making up numbers as usual. Great
This is why you two clowns can’t understand econ. You don’t understand people.
You don’t understand people cause if you did you’d understand why we shower
Stop reading comic books. Ban ayn rand/steve forbes romance novels.
Start reading non fiction please.
This from the same piece of shit who thinks George Soros has a 170 IQ
Trust me. If we walk into NASA and Max Planck and I say Soros is close to 170 and you say Oprah is close to 140, one of us will be laughed out of the room.
Hahaha.
Because your estimation reasoning is some of the worst I’ve ever seen. Want me to do a greatest hits. I can put it on excel.
You disagree with my estimates so by definition you think they’re bad so calling them bad to justify your opinion is a circular argument.
You’re even worse at philosophy than Soros who wanted to be a philosophy professor but was rejected cause low grades.
Honestly if Soros and Oprah ever met he was seem a like a child in her presence.
Social intelligence depends on different things in different cultures.
It is very subjective to learn cultural practices and based on age what is appropriate behaviors.
If we were to test for this it need to be a much longer test than just an hour on the WAIS – in fact you may need to spend weeks of testing.
Testing then if we were to analyze the results we would need to collect data over that period of time. The best way to do this would be in a video game setting as this makes it possible to scale the testing to larger numbers of participants.
The best game I know for doing this is:
knights of the old republic 2
Obviously its not the definitive test of social intelligence but you do need to understand peoples motivations to get them to be on your side otherwise you do not gain resources to help you on your quest.
Understanding others motivations is what allows you to know what they will do and if that is good or bad and how to change the paths of those actions of others around you.
(thin big picture thinking is why pill doesn’t understand why social IQ (an assigned number of understanding others motives) need more data than the subjective impressions of psychologists)
Lower on fairness than I thought I would get, but whatever.
Link to full results if possible
Huh, I thought I did.
Ill try again when i get home

Honestly close to what I expected.
very low on unconventionality for someone who reads such an unconventional blog
Well, I am a animation lover in my 20s. That’s unconventional. 🙂
My creativity, unconventionality, and altruism are all at or above the 90th percentile.
My agreeableness, extroversion, and humility/honesty are all below the 50th percentile. Some noticeable exceptions are my flexibility, and social boldness.
It’s interesting that all my conscientious categories have little spread.
My emotionality is pretty average except for my anxiety which is huge, btu apparently, I’m also fearless? Weird.
You are fearless. I remember when you used to argue with Afro you would never shy away from confrontation, even when he gave you the opportunity to do so. Like when you accused him of feeling inferior to white males and he denied it; most people would have let in drop but you were like “oh yes you do!”. lol
Melo isn’t fearless hahaha. Has the guy ever got into a bar fight? Has he ever said no to his boss?
Yes. Youre honesty is below the 50th. That makes sense.
My honesty is top 1%.
If you aren’t honest, you cannot be moral.
Your honesty about hating others for no good reason is abhorrent.
pill: I hate people, I am open about it
^piece of shit
So….tell me your true thoughts on blacks Jesus carpenter cosplay man.
pp,
I have a coin collection of 936 coins.
The mean is 1977 (between 1943 and 2012)
The median is 1993 (50th percentile, half the coins above and below)
and the mode is 1999 (52 coins for that year)
–
Five percent of my coins are before 1967
Ten Percent are before 1973
The oldest coin is a 1943 steal penny
By the curve I made the steal penny from 1943 is 1 in 936 rare but I am not a coin expert so I do not know how rare they will get.
Do you know of a way of calculating frequencies of coins by small sample sizes? Since the last penny was minted in the U.S. pennies have become more valuable.
If you sample a number of coins you get a distribution.
This graph show how many you need before you get to 1943
fascinating. Thanks for sharing
I think my low score on Honesty-Humility, ironically, resulted largely from my honest answers to questions like, “Would you steal a million dollars if you knew that you could get away with it?” It would depend on the exact situation, e.g., I would not steal a million dollars from St Jude Children’s Research Hospital, but if you really think that willingness to swipe a thousand kilodollars from Wal-Mart puts me around the minus-third percentile for honesty, all I can say is that you are too quick to believe self-reported data.
^Yeah the self-reported nature is quite a problem. You have at least two variables here affecting the personality scores, which is the person’s own view of what they are and score correlating to the actual answers.
100% this.
People usually say I’m a very honest person. Would I still money from the rich to feed the poor (me)?
Duh. I guess that’s dishonesty still. But my point is that it’s nuanced and I don’t think that makes me a dishonest person in the way people typically mean.
But youre not honst Melo. you wont tell the truth to yourself about blacks. Youre dishonest not with me or Jimmy or Policy person.
Youre dishonest to yourself.
Which is amusing.
Creativity is 6.3.7?
Redo the test. Must be a glitch.
Since the scores are scaled, I hypothesize that this is the result of ceiling bumping, i.e., people tend to think of themselves as creative enough that it’s impossible to score much higher than that. I am going to retake the test, answer everything at random except for attentiveness checks and questions I think count towards factor Creativity, and get back to you.
I retook the test and answered Strongly Agree to items I thought counted towards Creativity and Strongly Disagree to items I thought counted against it, and my Creativity was 6.65. Assuming that I correctly identified the items, that proves ceiling bumping.
When Trump agreed to realease the files. They basically means Ben Shapiro deleted or set on fire anything too incriminating.
CONTRADICTION!
Marsha says RR is sub 80 IQ.
Puppy says RR is minimum 130 IQ.
Why would puppy troll his co-religionist!
CONTRADICTION!!
Hahaha. You can’t trick me. Not even Ben Shapiro can trick me. I’m very very immune. Hence, why I ‘know everything’ as Marsha said.
CONTRADICTION!!!!
Open borders for America/Europe/Canada
But not Israel??
But you people keep saying open borders = Gee Dee Pee.
Why doesn’t importing millions of Haitians boost Israel Gee Dee Pee.
I don’t understand. Need an equation.
I think Puppy thinks I wake up every morning with no memory. His theory of mind is that I wake up every morning with no instinct. No affinity. Like Im a kind of blank slate. I need to relearn every morning what concepts and people are.
But I’m kind of right about that aren’t I? I have to re-teach you the same stuff over and over cause sadly your memory is going
One reason I was never a libertarian is that I’m gay. If theres no civil rights laws and hate speech laws you know what that means people like puppy and my cousins would do to me on the street right?
I’d leave you alone. I don’t punch down.
Hahahaha. Youre starting to ask jewish now.
Mine :
Creativity 6.65 again. Weird glitch. Maybe it need to open up the test and look at the Q. It might have been written by some Anime person. “Do you like seeing colours?”
So you banned all my econ comments. Great. Like debating with a toddler. Just throws his toys out of the pram.
I’ll publish them when I have time to respond. Can’t let so much ignorance just sit there unrebutted all day.

I like how modesty is my lowest on honest-humility ranking. It’s true.
90 percentile:
Greed Avoidance (not sure if completely true but generally),
10 percentile:
modesty,
extraversion,
sentimentality,
social self-esteem,
sociability,
liveliness (not really true in all ways but in “normal social ways” probably yes),
right at 10 percentile: altruism
Makes sense that the racist has low altruism.
But you are racist against gentiles.
My lack of (specific, monetary) altruism is more because I was raised in a lower-middle class family with health issues, substance addictions, went to a low IQ (majority non-White or Asian) school and was raised in a rural, low IQ town around me and only recently have I been in a situation where I could actually afford to give anything to people.
But the ironic thing is that the brown guy calling himself “melanated” and comments with a picture of a black guy beating a White guy (the people who have been mischaracterized as the purveyors of the slave trade, majority slave holders, and were in fact the people to free black slaves from slavery until Jews and “Democrats” put them back into it, and are now helping let them destroy Western civilization) is calling me racist, because I don’t waste more of my time “listening to the other side and considering their arguments” even though I’ve spent years of my life doing that, and he wastes time on “racist” websites commenting with people for years and still can’t get the opposite side correct (because low IQ, not actually “open”, lives in a bubble, is actually very selfish and materialistic? etc.)
Anyway. Please don’t respond to my comments. PP please do not put his comments under mine because it just wastes every one’s time.
Am I allowed to reply under him?
Yes but you insulted him, he insulted you back, so you’re even, so going forward I’m going to redact any insults either of you make to each other because neither of you benefit from getting into a mud fight so much better to use your time here to your advantage by practicing civil exchange of ideas
But how can they have an exchange of ideas when only 1 side has ideas?
Oh yeah, Greed Avoidance is about “signs of social status”, not necessarily about being completely unconcerned with being stingy or trying to gain resources. Yes, I have very little interest in them.
pill: everyone can be rich
anime: then how do we do that
pill: blame anime for everything
anime: you need to change the system in a realistic way
pill: blame anime
anime: so everyone could be rich but you don’t know how to do that or wont let people become rich on purpose?
pill: blame anime
anime: blame pill for not making everyone rich instead, he refused to help others change the system even if he knows how. asshole.
I dont really read your comments except when you complain about me. But i genuinely think you might have dsylexia or something. You can’t read anything or understand arguments. Its very very strange. You keep saying weird straw men. But I think because youre verbal comprehension is so poor you actually think I said that. e.g, marxism = communism. Public education/clearning slums in 1920s = sending everyoen to the moon.
You have a very serious reading problem.
“You keep saying weird straw men.”
Your the one doing that asshole. I am just responding.
You call everything autism no matter how reasonable I make my comments.
You have been against me from the start like rr and melo – all of you are bad faith actors.
It doesn’t matter what I say because you don’t give a shit.
I never say anything about libertarianism
That’s why you make shit up and I say things against your bullshit.
Fuck You
Since Openness to Experience is the only trait of the big 5 with a consistent positive correlation to IQ (about .3-.4), I took everyone’s score and calculated their estimated IQ.
Cat: 102
Me: 106
Lurker: 101
Aoli: 93
Ganzir: 112
Bruno: 114
tsawyer: 100
So youre arguing you have a high IQ because you like trying recreational drugs….
Interesting.
Maybe Stephen Jay Gould will back you up on that.
“Heh Heh Heh (rubs hands) THats right! Take drugs! Have a higher IQ”
Phil: But should kids in Israel take drugs
Guold: We need regulation goyim. We uh, have a special situation.
my captain data vibe seems perfectly illustrated. I couldn’t have less emotions while being very open to the world experiences . The rest is not extreme.
Hey Pumpkin, you should estimate the IQ of the Columbine shooters next.
Ok I take it back. Maybe now the lowest IQ commenter but certainly the worst read/most ignorant commenter is anime. Outside of AI. He doesn’t know anything. I mean, anything.
If me and Anime played trivial pursuit…we’d have to finisht he game after 3 questions.
And ANime would say “But this is trivial knowledge”
Is it?
Is it?
Actually Anime has had his general knowledge tested many times, both by the Wechsler and the PAIS.
I want to illustarte the difference in epistemology:
Puppy: “In order to find out the IQs of self made billionaires, I will need to (a) stop reading dating profiles on Forbes (b) gather them into a gym in a large enough sample size and force them to do the test under supervised conditions.
Phil: How about you do that. And I look at their linkedin profile and use my judgement.
Puppy: But thats not scientific.
Phil: But its practical and has much more chance of happening than you getting them into a gym.
Puppy: Ok. Im going back to dating profiles and ayn rand romance fiction. Fuck this science shit!
Phil: Nobody said science was easy! So stop pulling numbers out your ass and do the hard work to get the numbers if you want to ‘know’ that way.
No it’s more like I’m Darwin studying the beaks of finches on the Galapagos islands and you’re like “I don’t need to do all your autistic measurements and travel to all these islands to know where animals came from cause I have the intuition to know we were all created by God 6000 years ago.”
LMAO
Answer the question of whether you would classify Musk as self made. I want to know how far I can argue with you on things. What level you are. ‘The ceiling’.
Forbes classifies him as self-made and as a good scientist I have to take the data as I find it, not manipulate it to fit my theories. But if I worked for Forbes I would veto that decision because his dad invested a lot in his first company (family help) which he co-founded with his brother (family help) which he was only able to start because his mother’s Canadian citizenship helped him get to North America (family help) and that’s just the stuff we know about.
as a good scientist
Stop saying that. Youre confusing your readers. Youre a bad scientist. You make up data almost daily. Anytime I ask you to stop making up numbers, you ban the comment.
But if I worked for Forbes I would veto that decision
Good. Finally. 5 years. I finally get you to see the forbes index of ‘self made’ for what it is.
Thank you puppy. I feel like this is what therapy psychologists call “a breakthrough”. I think good things are going to happen from now.
Stop saying that. Youre confusing your readers. Youre a bad scientist. You make up data almost daily.
False. I provided a link to how I arrived at the billionaire IQ data.
Anytime I ask you to stop making up numbers, you ban the comment.
Dude I don’t have time to reply to every false accusation and even if I did, you’d just forget the reply the next day and repeat it, so at some point I have to just ban some of your comments.
Good. Finally. 5 years. I finally get you to see the forbes index of ‘self made’ for what it is.
FALSE! Our disagreement was about whether Forbes’s list was a reasonable proxy for the 400 richest Americans, not which ones were self-made
I wonder what definition of “self-made” they’re operating under? Musk clearly isn’t “self-made.”
They give all their billioanires a self-made score out of 10 and classify anyone above a certain score (5 out of 10?) as self-made and those who are not self-made are classified as either inheritance (the Walton heirs) or built-up inheritance (Trump). So Alice Walton is a 1, Melinda Gates is a 2, Trump is a 4, Kim Kardashian is a 7, Bill Gates and Musk are both 8, and Oprah and Soros are 10s.
The Waltons and Musk received inheritance or something similar right? Is that weighted enough for musk to be so high and Walton so low?
I don’t know if Musk inherited anything but his dad did invest tens of thousands in his first company
CONTRADICTION!
You constantly used the forbes data to argue most billionaires were ‘self made’.
No I used it to argue most billionaires are new money. If you want to say new money = self-made then sure, but I don’t define it quite that way.
Pill is the worse piece of shit there is on this planet.
Stop calling me a libertarian
stop calling me autistic
Stop saying I believe stuff I don’t.
You have been doing this for years on purpose because you fuck your own ego everyday thinking your better than everyone else.
I don’t give a damn anymore about your stupid shit.
Either your going to stop I am going to force you to stop.
Fuck you.

Wheres Mugabe? Why am I the only commenter in the comment section?
He said he was leaving because I hadn’t banned Melo but I don’t buy he has the discipline to boycott us for that long so I suspect something else is going on. Maybe he verbally abused the wrong person and now no longer has internet access?????
Yes I was thinking the same thing. On another website he might have said something to make ‘certain actors’ deeply unhappy.
Well probably not in the way you’re thinking. Afro so infuriated the HBD-o-sphere that I was asked to provide his IP# but I did not of course.
In WWII I would have been the guy hiding Jews in my attic to save them from the Nazis lol
Yes we know youre a horrible and despicable person and your moral IQ is in the toilet.
LOL! WHen I first read that I thought it was Melo responding to Policy Wonk. I even thought he stole your avatar. lol
Puppy can you do me a favour?

That only occurred because you made an especially disgusting personal attack
Fuck me Im prudent (7,1/131.5) 🙂
FUCKING UNDERSTAND

Banned all my econ comments again. NEevr mentioned anyone in those comments. Come on puppy wtf.

But just because you are rich as a 20 something does not mean you become the top person in the world financially by being dumb. You can lose all your money if not smart enough. He was lucky his rocket got the contracts in 2009 but look at where that is now. 140 is high enough.
Bill Gates parents were university professors but that does not mean everyone with a parent who is a professor becomes a top billionaire.
I even think Terrence Tao who won a fields medal is smarter than I thought. Trained from birth in mathematics still will not get you to the top. You need talent.
Talent can be a detriment though.
In the Movie GoodWill Hunting the professor had a field medal which is equivalent to a noble prize in math IQ 139 but will solved a problem instantly it took two years for the professor to solve. Although he was probably IQ 180 will could not adapt to society. He reads as fast as he can flip the pages. Yet he is not respected and finds it hard to find meaning in life. What should he do with himself is the only problem he has worth knowing.
Spatially I can do many things. I just have problems with symbols. Dyslexia is not what I have (decoding words) it is spelling. I have problems with tiny details because small things break the who project and memorization is required for most things math. In space I can put it all together but symbols you put inside other symbols and I cannot do it.
In computer code I find it hard to know where the period goes or why it is needed. I follow the graph but because I do not understand electricity circuit boards labels are hard to make. In high school I made a bug once in a drawing of how it would chase a light but could not make it in real life. I played games on the wii requiring using tools to get things done and I even made the game crash a blue screen. Do you know how hard it is to blue screen a wii – its made in Japan! My brother was impressed.
I think this goes back to fractals. My brains fractal shape has abilities to recognize odd patterns no one else can. This is not about all ways in which visual data can be used. People can memorize mazes or circuit board and I can’t. 142 is not even that high for spatial working memory. Because look at origami. Those people see every part touching every other part and I cannot do that. Spatial is cubed not squared so more variation is spatial intelligence exists than on flat paper.
What I mean to say is that I am precise but not always accurate. I can place things where they need to be like a Swiss watch but I cannot always literally see the big picture. So I fail alot at big things. Things where you need huge memorization capacity.
computer language requires knowing thousands of commands before anything works, one mistake and everything breaks and you don’t know why because of syntax and grammar of the codes function, I am too slow to remember any of it because I cannot read it. The way I think is not in any language made for computers currently. Even if I got my one program to work I don’t know how. I only made the middle part where I understood how things went inside each other to create a divergence vector field. I know how I would make a wire frame avatar the way you have in video games but only step by step in the staking of code as procedures. Procedural languages exist but again thousands of symbols going into each other that break with one error. I don’t have the mental emotional energy.
I am not sure I know what to do now with my time if i cannot put the math into a computer. I cannot buy math software. Python is broken. Since I happen to have gotten my roommate out of the house I can go back to school now. Most science stuff now require data. If you do it by hand that is not going to work. I could never have made the curves I do by hand. Yet I only have old excel. You can do more than that and even with code alot more. I just need to go to school.
I stopped reading at Terry Tao.
Is terry Tao a billionaire?
Tell me why/why not?
WHy didn’t he join a hedge fund. Explain it using your best effort.
If you don’t read what I say then that means you don’t have the intelligence to understand.
140 is all you need to get to the top of the world.
That does not mean all people can be billionaires you dumbly. (Tao doesn’t care about money but is at 140)
But why don’t intelligent people always chase money. If Marsha went into prostitution. WHy dont other high IQ women do that?
Im going to make a “beakthrough” today. You will finally understand human behaviour soon.
But why don’t intelligent people always chase money.
When I was young I harassed a 180 IQ for weeks for not being rich, and finally he said “to be brutally honest, I could play! I could win! And I know it so completely that it doesn’t even interest me”. For him competing with George Soros would be like taking candy from a baby.
Or as Marilyn Vos Savant said “your time is infinitely more valuable than your money”. Other smart people find so much joy from academic research that they would rather a low paying intellectual job. But at the same time, if you’re so smart and lucky enough to see an easy path to becoming a billionaire, it would be silly not to take it so overall we still get a correlation between IQ and money.
If Marsha went into prostitution. WHy dont other high IQ women do that?
They do. What do you think marrying rich is. I created Marsha as a metaphor to illustrate that very point. At literary device. But sadly schiz take metaphors literally.

I discovered the logic gate in 5th grade but I thought is was like a crystal of something new age. I did not really understand. I made a model of a computer not a real CPU or anything but the motor pulled the dumbly mouse inside it. At night I thought about using motors as switch’s to control a flight simulator yet it was too complex to draw as it was a 3D construct. Before I knew what a CPU was I thought everything had to be hard coded in circuits.
(I still am working on understanding the CPU, the 6th grade video had a lesson on it from 1989 but I did not see exactly the full picture, I was still trying to understand the phosphorus in the cathode ray tube screen)
When I was 15 I understood logic gates better. I just did not understand voltage capacitors or anything that would lead to making anything. I went to RadioShack to try and buy some parts but did not understand enough. I used to take motors out of the toys I had and discovered that big batteries burn out smaller motors.

I sometimes forget how bad my vision is without glasses. Everything beyond about a foot and a half in front of me is a colored blur.
Ganzir can you email me?
6 inches is as far as I can see without my glasses.
Ok, so its kind of fuzzy but I think I understand now how the brain control system works.
A feedback loop exists between perception and the front brain.
As we are performing a task we are monitoring if we are doing it correctly but in the background we are coming up with a plan incase we need to do something different.
The brain is recurrent network so we can built up representations so this means when we back up on a task we can know what to do next and prioritize. Is the task we are doing goring to get us what we want in the big scheme of things.
put simply we have 4 items in working memory
the left and right task memory
and the left and right back up plan
It is important to monitor what we are doing to be flexible.
People with more intelligence happen to coordinate this better. We may not take everything into consideration if we poorly coordinated.
The ACC (anterior cingulate cortex) connects our actions to there consequences. Perceptually we can recognize patterns without it. If we see what we are doing we can know what will happen and change what we do. It is a compare and contrast mechanism, internally and externally. Emotionally we may not want to change but that’s a different story about the limbic system not intelligence.
