Statistics?

There are three types of lies.

Lies,

Damned Lies,

and

Statistics.

No, you just don't understand the nuances of statistics and fall for the booby traps related to them.

But statistics themselves are booby traps.

No, they can be made into booby traps, it is on you to recognize them and not misrepresent them.

I'm 15yr reasonably sharp but certainly no genious. Is they're any way to increase my IQ. I know the difference between brain power and knowledge.

first, eliminate the belief that you are no genius.

Universities and employers don't care about your IQ.

Your friends and family definitely don't care about your IQ either.

Maybe the only organization that cares is the military... and in that case mostly only as a disqualifier... in other words as long as your IQ isn't ~80 it doesn't matter.

I care because I play a lot of mind games such as minesweeper, chess, puzzle books, unofficial IQ tests and some others. Of course I want to excel in my hobbies so it's kind of interesting to me. Not that big of a deal to me though.

People are most often not very good at recognizing high intelligence. At least, from my experience. They can all go screw themselves. 

 

For example, no one can see yours.

Also where are these misspellings everyone is talking about. And I do have auto correct which is why sometimes things might sound a little weird. If I don't keep an eye on it auto correct will change what I say.

Perhaps it's trying to tell you something!

It frequently changes chess.com to chess.come stockfish to stock fish and don't get me started on last names.

Nine out of ten statistics are made up just to make a point.

Your IQ doesn’t seem to be high since you have poor punctuation. I estimate that your IQ is below 100.

Like I said before I know the difference between IQ and knowledge. This a classic example. The fact that I don't know proper grammar to we'll has nothing to do with my IQ rather it has to do with my knowledge. I have excelled in chess far faster than my friends and family who started at the same time or before me ( I started just over a year ago ) also taken unofficial IQ tests in mensa books ( got them at a book store. I'm not in mensa) and I have done extremely well (13/15 which the score chart said was potential was "potential mensa" for what it's worth ). I have also aced my 9th grade algebra class with ease so I don't believe that I'm dumb.

 

However, your grammar and punctuation errors are pretty basic. They should have been corrected in elementary school.

...So should have your manners. Shame.

Someone can’t handle the truth.

Go cry in front of a moderator.

What a hypocrite you are. Anyone who contradicts himself has a low IQ.

Thus, we can determine that @MMTMIT is very salty and therefore should lower his daily salt intake to 1.5 grams each day to combat this.

I'm not salty at all. I don't know where you got that from.

Haha. Very funny. Just read your own comments. Someone seeking to pick a fight on a chess website has the true low IQ. 

Uh... you started this mess. I assume you have never been criticized before in your life. I feel bad for you.

I love you back.

You call that a joke?

Yes, IQ can be improved but people are most influenced by the factors that increase IQ up to one or two years old. There's an exponentially decreasing ability to increase IQ as we get older but it's still possible.

Of course, you can't come up with a better comeback.

Well, it is most likely that I have a high IQ since I see most humans as toxic. I could be from a different, more advanced species. 

It could be that you are an inferior egomaniac.

You should work on your English. Come back when you grow up.

Oh of course. I should not have answered that rhetorical question, the lowest form of any argument! I'm sorry, my bad.

Done talking with a 5-year-old. 

 

It is rare to find such a crystalline example of the Dunning Kruger effect.  This "MMTMIT" persona is so ridiculously perfect.

Exactly how I would describe others. How funny.

 

We are alike in that way.

Can people stop being toxic around me? Terrible. I can't expect more from a world full of hate and jealousy. 

 

The best way to accomplish this would be for you to be a positive non-toxic person, yourself.

I can't be the cause of all of the toxicity. 

Why not? You eMIT toxins.
