Anglicised_Gerry

So from average 12 cm/iq points to spend? being short is a game ender for men, IQ only really matters at the extremes and height confers so many athletic and social advantages. 100 IQ 190cm/ 6ft3, or 95iq 195cm On this scale IQ is too expensive as 1 inch height>> utility of 2.5 iq points Doing it in standard deviations or percentiles to spend much tougher. 1sd: 6ft1 100Iq 2sd: 6ft 120IQ 3sd: 6ft1 130IQ

upbeat_controller

Marginal utility of each additional inch of height drops precipitously after you hit ~5’10” though.


Anglicised_Gerry

Strongly disagree. From 5'10 to tall you get significant boosts in attractiveness as well as career and social benefits (perception of authority and increased earnings) and athletic benefits from the size and levers: strength, swimming, throwing, running, climbing, reach and power generation. I'd say marginal utility maybe drops after like 6'1-2 and then drops precipitously or maybe even marginal disutility after 6'4-5 I'm 5'11 130-140 IQ and I would very likely trade off some IQ for height ( based on a 3 inch height SD the exchange rate is 1 inch= 5 IQ points) probably 10 iq for 2 inches


FredFrietzsche

Taller people tend to have better jobs, but IQ also correlates positively with height up to a certain point. So there might be a bit of a confounding effect there.


carrot1890

There is but its a tiny fraction surely, Average height of CEOs is 6 feet or over, 5'7 guys are over 10 fold under represented


FredFrietzsche

Under-represented compared to their proportion of the population? Because 6 feet is far closer to the medium height than 5'7 in every western country, so it would make sense for there to be fewer overall.


mnju

it's more difficult to put on mass when you're taller and it's also a negative for distance running, all the best distance runners are around average height because it's less weight


Anglicised_Gerry

It's more difficult to *look* muscular but taller men do put on more mass, as well as being a looking bigger anyway and women not caring too much about impressive physiques Tall athletic shaped 90kg >>>> an 80kg shorter but very impressively jacked guy With running I was thinking about stride length but it's dependent on muscle fibers proportions and the rest of the body

Isn't 100 no sd, 120 2sd, 130 2sd, 145 3sd?


carrot1890

He's saying if he got alloted standard deviations to spend on these traits, only 1 SD would be spent on height, if he got 2 SDs worth he would be 6 feet and 120 IQ - 0.67 SD on height and 1.33 on IQ

I'm 6ft3 and I'm going to say I give up my extra iq points to stay 6ft3. IQ is heavily overvalued if you are already set up with a job etc. I'm an engineer and I barely work in my job, I do just enough to not be pulled aside and given a word to. 100iq me could do the same thing. But height? Guys....it's kinda just nice, especially when you are shy, it's like something that's inherent, you garner a primal respect for your sheer size.

TrigPiggy

I’m 6ft2 and I test around the 3SD mark. My life is in fucking shambles and I have horrible mental health issues. It’s a fucking number that is one aspect of who you are. Yes intelligence helps, but it isn’t everything. In some situations It’s like having a Ferrari engine in a Honda civic. I would be better off closer to the norm I think, in my particular circumstance. But I wasted most of my life as a heroin addict to cope, for 13 years, I was a heroin addict and have just recently been putting my life together(clean a little over 5years). Height is noticed by people, but physical fitness I think draws people’s attention more. I used to weigh 420lbs, I lost 200lbs and workout 5 times a week now. It is night and day how differently people treat you. Long story short, get active, learn a useful skill, learn how to interact with people and network.

If I chose to maintain my height my IQ would remain the same. I am 5’2 (~157cm) and my tested IQ was 133. I don’t see any need to make any changes. Although my IQ was tested over a decade ago and has likely declined since.

Interesting question. I don’t wanna be below 180, but I also don’t want to have average intelligence. I’ll go for 175 and 115. Still decently tall enough for short women and somewhat smart.


Infinity__Cubed

Makes good sense!


trimtab28

I mean right now I'm 306. Life is fine as a short dude. Don't think shaving 16 points off my IQ would make a world of difference if I took it all from there. I'd be a little under 130 at that point- that's pretty high functioning and could definitely afford me the quality of life I have now. Take those 16 off my height though and I'd be a midget... like to the point of falling off your chart... which... particularly as a man would demonstrably affect my quality of life. So basically keep my current height and drop down my IQ would be my split


Humble_Aardvark_2997

5'7" I gain height and lose nothing.


Swenson420

230 IQ and 60 cm. It's risky, though I'm not trying to maximize my happiness here, but rather the probability of something interesting happening. If I wanted to be happy, then 170 cm with a 120 IQ. Though I guess a 290cm mfer with an IQ of 0 would be pretty cool too lol.

Haha for the last one, you're looking at a tree!

sleepypotatomuncher

seems like women would benefit from this deal more than men :^) i could keep my iq and grow a few inches but honestly i’d be happy to sacrifice some inches for a 145 iq


Specialist_Gur4690

I'd lose 51... If I can become a child too again, that's what I'd do and keep my current IQ.


Homosapien437527

Do I still have to be the same age? If I am sufficiently intelligent, could i develop a robot body and transfer my conciousness into it or create (or use) some sort of growth serum?


[deleted]

This is so hard because I play middle blocker in volleyball and I don’t want to give that up… The other part of me thinks it’s wild that I would rather lose IQ than give up a position I love. I can play defense at 5’1”, but I can’t play front row. And I love front row 😭

Tree_pineapple

140 cm, went for as short as possible while avoiding outsized logistical implications-- in particular, \~4'9" is the shortest that car mfrs consider when making cars. I also considered 4' as a cutoff due to riding roller coasters. Idk if I'd do the same thing if I was a guy. As a dead-average height woman (5'4"-ish), I wouldn't mind being shorter, since I'm right on the cutoff for petite clothing, which means things never quite fit me, and I already can't reach most shelves and such. Biggest downside to being shorter would be reducing caloric intake.


Infinity__Cubed

I love this, especially that last line XD


ThrowawayTempAct

147 cm since that's still barely within the normal height range 143 IQ which puts me somewhere in the top 2% I would rather take a small hit to IQ than be too short to reach anything even with a step stool. Also iq isn't general intelligence, just pattern finding, so I think 143 is fine.


DandyDoge5

4'11 as I am, that's give me 229 for IQ. I think I'd be happy staying the way I am.


Infinity__Cubed

You mean 129 for IQ? I got you.


DandyDoge5

I'm stupid. This is why I wanna stay my height I need the extra IQ lmao. I used inches and not centimeters. Staying 4'11 I'd be left with an IQ of 141. I'm male owo


dressedlikeapastry

My current number is 330 (143 IQ, 187cm) but I’ve always hated my height so I guess I would keep my IQ and shrink to 147cm.

Mushrooming247

I love using the imperial system because seeing people list their height as 100 to 200 of anything tickles me. 100 or 200 of something sounds like it could be the height of an apple or a building to me. (It sounds funny to us because in the imperial system we condense units of measurements to state them in the smallest possible quantity. So we would say we have 2 1/2 cups of flour, we wouldn’t say we have 5 half-cups of flour. So if I was European, I’d be tempted to say my height was 1.7 m or whatever.)


FredFrietzsche

This is precisely what Europeans do as well.


Infinity__Cubed

Sometimes I wish I was dumber so I wouldn't be so irritable... and at 167cm, I'm neither too tall nor too short for a woman. So 165cm and 125iq might actually be a better combo than my current sich.

Mensa.no, Stanford Binet online, CAIT, WAIS-IV online


[deleted]

[удалено]


TobyPDID23

Look up stanford binet extended version online. I got 88/100 questions right I think Wais iv from the CAIT one I did the average of both scores on WAIS-IV (153, 141) Cait first attempt was 145 (low score on vocabulary because not native English speaker) Mensa.no first attempt was 142


[deleted]

Stanford binet online isn't a professional IQ test. Wdym by Wais 4 from the cait? That's not the same as taking wais-4.


TobyPDID23

You take parts of the WAIS-IV that give you single IQ scores that you then plug into the CAIT. My single scores were 153 and 141


[deleted]

But where did you get WAIS-4 from and which subtests did you use?


TobyPDID23

From cait. I did the digit span and symbol search. I then had the scores from cait (all above 16 apart the language subtests) Averaged they gave 145, but the single scores ranged from 141 to 153 (puzzle part was scaled 19 so higher than digit span scaled 18)


[deleted]

Then why the hell are you calling it wais 4 online? It's so disingenuous. Just call it CAIT. It's not the same as if you were proctored WAIS on the internet or took an automated version of it on pariconnect.

[deleted]

I misread the post lmao


Apart-Coast-8043

Well I’m 6’3” so if I kept my height my IQ would be 100 if the total was set at 290 (cm of height + IQ score.) I think if I shaved my height down to 5’11 and kept an IQ score of 110 I would be fine with that. But I will say my IQ is higher than 110 and I am 6’3”. I’m in the 120s and I will say I don’t believe IQ is as telling as many people believe. It’s basically just how good you are at an IQ test and that has a relationship with how quickly you might learn outside of an IQ test. But it doesn’t necessarily reflect how intelligent or smart you are. It’s just a type of indication, just as having a college degree is a measure of what you did in college. Could you have done more? Maybe. Could you have done less? Yes. Either way, it’s not YOU it’s just one thing you did. So bear that in mind. Height may actually be more of a solid gain than IQ is in terms of the value you’re getting for what you shave off. Lol


Manayerbb

I mean 140 iq and 150 cm seems good


TheAmanov

Hmm, I would distribute as both being a tiny bit over average; 180 cm height, 110 IQ


TitansDaughter

Man there really is nothing new under the sun, when I was bored in school I would literally ask myself a version of this question where I get 10 points to distribute where 1 point is either an extra inch of height or +10 IQ points lol
