Iq is relative to the population which means you're ranked against other people your age.
You might have been fully developed earlier than most.
My (tested) iq in high school was far lower than it is now.
You also have to remember depression and mental illness in general can greatly affect your score

Good pic related match OP

>>smoked lots of weed
If you knew how much drugs Ive done in life you would be absolutely blown the fuck away. You need to join the military or something, some far off adventure of life and death.

Get rid of the depression and stress. Because they legit dull your cognition and that too by a lot. Stabilise your mind and life, and find something to aim to at.

>>15014169
can that happen if i'm not depressed (i am) and don't smoke weed? now you're making me paranoid i will or have lost iq

>>15014169
Weed makes you mega retarded. Sorry stonerfags, it’s true. Every single person I know who smoked weed heavily as a teen is very fucking slow and useless now.

>>15014250
You hang out with idiots and this made you think youre way smart....welp...

>>15014169
Yup, it is hard to raise your IQ, but it is very easy to lower it. However, it is usually possible to reclaim intellectual abilities that you had then lost. However, it takes a lot of work and many careful lifestyle choices.

>>15014169
Bro no one fucking cares. I stopped reading at gifted because i know your stupid ass is about to talk about IQ and your insecurities providing nothing to this board.

>>15014169
>>had IQ tested by a psychologist at 18 and scored 145
this is the biggest telltale of a lying dunning kruger narcissistic retard. you already know only iq tests don't count for shit so you have to make up a lie to make it legitimate.
why they fuck would a psychologist test your iq? the only scenario where a psychologist would test your iq is if they suspect you are retarded.
You are probably just another mediocrity experiencing the big fish effect

>>15014169
Intelligence is just the topology of your brain, you can win back your gains by relearning the same shit the same way you did back then.
Try to find your sixth sense and use it to re-learn shit.
There's a literal retard who hit his head with the floor and is now writing books about how to learn, do essays for you about the same thing. I don't remember the name of this guy but he's pretty cool

IQ tests are for studies, for rich parents to pay a fraud to tell them how great their young child is and get them into some bullshit private school, or to determine if someone is retarded. Why would you get one?

>>15014169
Let me guess - you peaked in high school, expected everything else in life to be as easy as this, started associating work with reward (thus making you resent putting effort into something) and now you’re surprised that you’re a weed smoking loser?

Lol. Lmao even.

>>15014169
Sometimes I think that all the gifted and talented program is, is just about selecting students whose brains are mentally mature sooner.

If they truly were g/t, then all of them would or should succeed in college and keep that high level of intelligence, it's strange, I think most have just matured sooner than others and that's why they are categorized as smarter.

I've been reading studies on environment and intelligence and learning about neurology for years. (I know this is an anonymous internet comment, so believe me or not, up to you)

Your brain is malleable and neural pathways usually shrink, they're not destroyed. You can regain what you lost if you try hard:

-intense study and mental tasks can improve intelligence. It's important that once you learn a new subject or new skill you move on to some area that's new and challenging and don't just stick to the same thing once you get comfortable/good at it. The best things to learn are math and physics, but even studying music or playing a difficult videogame like starcraft in a serious, competitive manner can help

-There's some foods that have been shown to improve IQ and cognitive performance. There are a number of nutrients that are important for the brain, but the foods I'm listing here are different because their effect is dose-response (meaning that the more you eat, the stronger the effect is), unlike other nutrients like omega 3's that only work up to a certain point, and don't provide any additional benefit once you have enough.

-green leafy vegetables
-green tea
-citrus fruit
-berries
(afaik these are the only foods that provide a dose-response benefit to cognitive performance)

-fasting for an entire day one day a week stimulates neurogenesis (the growth of new brain cells)
-meditation has been proven over and over to improve IQ and performance. To meditate just take some time to observe something very intensely. It can be your breath, the room you're in, music, whatever. Engage your mind as hard as you can and try to take in every detail. You should generally sit or lie completely still so that you're focused entirely on observing.

>hey guys i smoked weed now i am retarded

>>15015436
it's true though have you ever met a pothead that wasn't retarded, I haven't

>>15015577
Feynman
Sagan

>>15015107
actually great advice
>>15015176
another good point

>>15015647
still waiting.

>>15014169
Fuck your self pity, you made your damn choices so live with it.

>>15014169
Leaving aside the massive unreliability of IQ tests and the fact that they don't actually measure intelligence, and the weed and brain damage you had, congratulations for finding out that the brain is highly malleable and intelligence is a highly influenceable trait. Education actually, directly, makes people smarter. There is a reason for education's extremely strong and universal correlation with intelligence.
Use your brain and it will work better.

This, I got tested in 6th grade, and I got a 116 (maybe because I was also really rushed and two grades ahead of my age), and then got tested again recently and am at 142. OP was either older for his grade or just an early bloomer.

>t. Immortal interdimensional schizophrenic
I kneel.

>>15015949
I agree that IQ is far from perfect but it's still a useful research measurement. If something can be shown to increase or decrease IQ then the test is performing a valuable function.

>>15016049
How does it work anyway, is there something you did or did your brain genes just activate or something? What do you do, read a lot of books?

>>15015737
#$*@ you too you #*$&% (&#$ing son of a #&$* gypsy faced *$&$*ing mother of a (#$&($(& pony-faced dog soldier son of a hewer

My recommendations:
Use weed less and eventually not at all.
Read more
reduce 4chan to less than an hour a day.
Also, you are most certainly not. Your current conditions are terrible, especially the poor mental health. Go watch psychology nonsense for about 12 hours and consider what you could do.

>>15015176
Or the nature of the gifted program prepares them to cease development because they compare themselves to others and not how they were in the past.

Why should he not be sad? He is reaching out for advice, and I intent to provide what I can.

Every gift is a curse, and the greatest gift
(of high intelligence) is the greatest curse of all.

> citrus fruit
Do NOT, and I repeat DO NOT eat a great amuont of citrus in short time. Ive eaten +40 tangerines in the last 36 hours and now I have the worst headache of my life. DO NOT eat that much citrus fruit, it was delicious but now i feel my head palpitating and im about to fucking faint.

>>15016057
>I kneel.
Not really, part of that "interdimensional" is a part you would die fighting against. Makes me an enemy of reality itself, let alone "people" and their "ideals".

Everyone *can* like me...until they find iut Im allied against some part of their ideal.

Same goes for humans. Less I know about them the more I can rationalize theyre a good person, as soon as I dig into theur rationale or morals I find corruption, and lose a friend and see the demon.

>what did he do
Make up some bullshit

>>15014169
Biggest part is the depression. In elderly it can even fake dementia.
Find back to your younger self, do as he did. But also accept that you have to make money somehow and try not to think, at least no inner dialogue pls that is for brainlets anyway, chad cerebration, while you work the minimum necessary for survival. Eat legumes, soak them yourself, you can live off 1500 dollars a month probably, all inclusive.

>>15014982
NTA but my IQ got tested at 19 by a psychiatrist when I got a mental health evaluation.

>>15014982
Many parents have their kid tested by a psychologist to try to get them in the gifted program.
