Do the people you get along with also score "high"?

(Obviously taking these tests with a pinch of salt; we're here because autism and there's no way I'm paying all that cash to get my IQ professionally tested lmao)

A while ago when i got into this rabbit hole i figured out it would be fun to test my friends and relatives using resources from here (impressed that they agreed to waste their time on this lol).

For reference, according to the subreddit resources I'm ~140

The person I'm closest to is my older brother, scored ~125.

My best friend scored ~115.

I have a friend i almost never see but when we do we talk about shit for hours, we always end up learning something new or philosophizing. He scored really high, ~135.

On the other hand, my parents, all due respect -I'd give my life for them and viceversa- they're dumb AF. Not mom, she scored ~100, but dad ~80. The gap is noticeable when we have a conversation.

I also have a friend I'm close to but more because of trauma bonding. He scored ~90 and i do notice that the average conversation is not too interesting.

I would also like to talk about my experiences in different schools.

I'm sure this difference is mostly because environment and education but JFC, most of my schoolmates in the regular private school i was for a time were painfully stupid. Nice people, but toxically dumb. Mostly teenager stupid shit but c'mon, a little bit more of awareness. I hate to sound pedantic but jeez that's the truth.

Shit was radically different when i got into a public school with a selection system; every class was beautiful and full of discussion. There also was stupid people but they were the minority. Most of the classes were intellectually productive. Love that school.

I used to believe that IQ was bullshit but damn, in my experience it might be true the gap in communication between different IQ's.

I don't believe is that extreme; personally I've never had trouble to get along with everyone, although it's kinda lonely to not have too much people to ramble about something a bit more substantial than your average gossip.

---

What are your thoughts about this? Hope i spark an interesting discussion :P

Apologies if i sound pedantic or i give the impression that i believe myself to be some kind of CORE celestial entity, not my intention at all; this post was written in good faith =^● ⋏ ●^=

Help with my guitar, hoping i can fix it in home.

So this happened suddenly, no signal goes to the interface, only random spikes. When i open the amp sim i get what i show in the video. I tried rewiring the jack connections but nothing (i was high so probably mixed up something lol, but my dad was helping me so i don't think so) and cable seems fine. Thanks in advice guys.

I started a journey man in FM23. Everything went good, i got the team that hired to first division but then i saw how the team i support was doing.

A little bit of context, 2021 we fought relegation irl. My plan was eventually land the job on the team i support but then i saw something awful.

  1. Avoided relegation even losing 1-3 last match, worst thing is that our rival team saved us, if they lose that match we went straight to second division.

Couldn't take it, edited myself into my club, made some transfers we made irl and i feel i fucked up everything lmao.

I just love my irl team too much, i couldn't handle see my team in that awful situation.

I kinda feel bad but it really makes me happy take my team to the glory.

What about you guys?

Long story short. 2020-2024 was awful. Loneliness, domestic violence, drug abuse, a pretty bad experience with a girl i fell in love with and drug related violence.

I really want to start living my life. Situation is, objectively, good and stable but my brain is still in that mindset that everything could go wrong.

Don't want to drop Uni, i really want to overcome my situation but i feel like a coward. Looking at all the things that happened to me i should be living life like a walk in the park, but i'm afraid of life.

I'm already seeing a psychologist, maybe i need pills to regulate myself meanwhile i work on overcome all that bad stuff that happened in my life.

My university is very pro student, i think is worth it to go there and explain everything and see if they can help me.

I don't know, has anyone been on my shoes and overcame that shitty mindset?
