Someone I know is slightly mentally challenged, always had trouble at school, but is super precise and methodical. They are now a very valued employee at a forensics lab, doing something that most people are not capable of.

A super precise and methodical dumbass makes a very good data/sample collector IMO. I’m glad it worked out well for your acquaintance.

Also I think nearly anybody can provide value / is valuable to society. If all of us were super geniuses society would collapse.

They also make great machinists.

You wouldn't ask a fish to climb a tree... school is very seldom a place for intelligent people.

One of my friends is mechanical engineering and he told me he did shit in high school. He pretty much aces every math and physics exam with very minimal studying.

They're a lab animal, aren't they

[-] daltotron@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

The two things are probably related. I'm the same way. You learn to compensate for a bad memory, for bad visualization techniques, for bad math skills, by adhering to certain routines and rules of thumb. Most people can easily remember, say, times tables. If you're a dumbass, though, you'll probably be forced to use some sort of mneumonic device or rule of thumb if you want to actually memorize them. Alternatively, you might just get really fast at going through every step to get the correct answer, kinda depends.

And here I am just running on a giant wire wheel 😞

I'm a dumbass. Don't take the test at truetest.pro. It takes a while. At the end, you're feeling pretty clever for figuring out most of the puzzles. Then it won't give you the results unless you pay. I am we tod did.

[-] DudeDudenson@lemmings.world 38 points 1 month ago

They automatically give you an 85 if you pay, the rest of the process is to weed out the smart ones

Nice to meet you, Sofa King We Todd Ed.

Everybody is stupid. But the really stupid guys take iq tests.

[-] lud@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago

But the really stupid guys take online iq tests.

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Pointless distinction imo since it doesn't provide any practical benefit to anyone

I was too bored and decided to take the puzzle, after 3 questions, I realize they probably want me to pay at the end.

And they did ask me to pay to get my result after like 100 questions. LOL, I am stupid, but not stupid enough to pay for an random IQ test on the internet.

[-] doshnposh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

lmao sounds like u passed

[-] MisterD@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago

Only people with an IQ of 85 would believe that

[-] vegantomato@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Don't bother doing this test. They ask for money to show your result once you're done.

[-] Bgugi@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

That's the true IQ test

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

It's got pro in the name, it must be legitimate

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It’s a solid C. You can’t expect normal people to get 100 on their IQ test, that’s for people like Einstein and his monster.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

You mistook your "E"s. It's Eisenhower. Eisenhower's monster

Normally we just call it "the interstate highway system"

That was his pet, his monster was the Military Industrial Complex

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

With an IQ of 85, they’re definitely getting into pseudo science

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

To be fair 85 is slightly very much below average. So OP could work in finance or politics.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I find it harder to believe that the shown portion of the curve integrates to ~%15. It seems more like %30 maybe even %40.

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Either data analyst or paleontology. (No offence to either)
