    A reddit mod for a mensa sub sounds like possible the most insufferable combination imaginable

      If you happened to have an unusually high IQ, why you would you choose to join Mensa, or be a moderator on Reddit for that matter?

      The smartest thing you can do is obfuscate your level of intelligence, not brag about it. That’s just how you end up doing more work and getting blamed by everyone around you.

    as someone who qualifies for mensa but like, i ain’t paying a subscription fee to be in the smart people club, that sounds really dumb (and also IQ testing is sketchy at best to begin with)

    yes, i always appreciate a big booty, on any ethnicity or gender, so latinas are indeed included

      IQ testing as many other things, has racist origins and is for all intents and purposes quite useless imo

        In the process of diagnosing ADHS (dyslexia, other) disabilities, a IQ test is used to establish a baseline of what other people with a similar result can and cannot do and this is compared to what you can and cannot do.

        IQ tests do have uses.
