    the only thing it measures is how good you are at taking an IQ test

    The axis need to be swapped.

      the punchline is that if you pay for the iq test you are instantly considered stupid and if you bribe the iq test you get a high score. everyone in between won’t pay for an iq test

          I think the same thing applies to Mensa. If you’re paying to join the “smart people club”, how smart are you really?

          tbf, i paid for an IQ test because i needed the results to prove i’m capable of understanding my own gender in court. Pretty whack but i heard recently the laws in my country changed so i hope younger trans people won’t have to go through that humiliation

      Yup. You can practice for it like any other test. There’s no way to score human intelligence, except anyone who talks about having high IQ, then you know they are unintelligent.

    It’s very likely, tho honestly even if he had an iq of 300 i wouldn’t care if things he says will remain bullshit.

      And who’s saying he’s got a high IQ? Presumably it’s just him saying he does, and he lies about everything else.

    I bet his test results are a different scale, like imperial, but converted to normal metric standards he scores below average. Everything he says and does shows he really wants people to believe he’s smart and he’s willing to lie as much as needed to make people believe him, but he never actually shows anything of actual intelligence. On the contrary really.

      Musk never outgrew 8th grade.

      He’s still in there, day in and day out, doing everything he can think of to try to get the other kids to think he’s cool, and still just making himself look like that much more of a creepy, pathetic douchebag.

    Anyone that cares about an IQ result is a permanent clown that deserves to be laughed at until they’re dust

      When I was a kid I took a two-page IQ test in a Reader’s Digest and I got 125. It meant a lot to me.
