Which could be a true hypothesis because someone had mentioned that Californians are stupid; I'm betting it's due to the extreme drought in that region.

lol
According to all these "highest IQ states" data sets ppl are using, Massachusetts is supposedly the smartest. Probably because it has so many universities and colleges. But Forbes recently gave UC Berkeley the number 1 best university in america rating, that's gotta help California. So i don't know what's going on with this data that ppl are using.

I think IQ test are meant to test your natural intelligence; I read the most that you can improve your IQ by is maybe 0.75 points.

You think they are meant to test intelligence, except they only actually test whether you are good at IQ tests.

I say this unironically.

Or it could be because of their environment, like high humidity; it lubricates their brain cells and makes them more mobile.

No; this were true you wouldn't have Florida Man.

This is even sillier.

whats the old proverb?

score high on IQ test and you get to lord it over ppl
score low on an IQ test and get to dismiss it as a test that tests test taking skills

it all may be irrelevant.

Those numbers are all crap. I was tested several times and it always came out in the low to mid 130's and I'm dumb as a rock.

It's still cringe to brag about a high IQ.

There are groups you can belong to if you have a high IQ. Like elite universities or MENSA. It's always better to be higher than lower, but there are arguments to help mitigate the shame or cringe you might feel internally when comparing your scores with others.

Every smart person knows the smarter you are the more self doubt you have. To brag about high IQ is to show you have the opposite.

Judging from the latest comments in your profile I would say that score is quite accurate.

Didn't Socrates proudly exclaim that "The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing?” lol

Never said it was cringe to have a higher IQ, but to brag about it. We're all born with our genetic ups and downs. It's what we do with it at the end of the day, will determine our merit.

I think what he means by that is that you're always self assessing and updating your knowledge and you never exhaust from seeking out knowledge.

That's a total cope and one of those arguments I mentioned in my post.
