@lthlnkso: Does testosterone make you dumber? (No) @alex

𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐧 :

"This study..." and it's just a screenshot from Twitter 😭

S'trahrisGorn :

that integer banding issue is a great catch.

Pantsforbirds :

My iq is 100.4. Literally higher than a perfect score

natantarach1 :

that's styropyro

User2918273818162 :

It wasn’t made by AI tho I remember this meme existing before mainstrain gen Ai like ChatGPT

Guy :

IQ doesn’t necessarily have to be an integer since it’s basically like a z score, depending on the number of questions in the iq test. But I agree, seems like fake data

InternetJudge :

Actually i am that outlier 1600/150... but not trying to brag

Cooper Michalik :

Like people realize if you spend 30 minutes with a base knowledge of excel you can make a graph that says whatever you wants

american_skateboarder :

Im that dot on the far top right 😂😂😂

juan :

Not gonna lie. I fell for this one. Thanks dude.

upwalled :

You’ve inspired me to really look into charts and data over the years

barbarian :

but it's a photo in the internet! It must be true

Wesley Parish :

mind you tho on the original the correlation is very weak

Delta_o_a :

high test vros, we won

0xPytness :

good catch with the iq not being integers

Ihave157IQtestedByMensa :

btw that outlier is me

Josh Costa :

I love this account

n8t_bro784 :

my testosterone levels won't allow me to understand this.

Mikael Siirilä :

people should check sources more - direct link to study every time

casper :

no correalation at all with iq, iq is influenced by diet environments and genetics. Higher test also is associated by more healthy environment and genetics, making it higher. High test man can be dumb, a guy with an higher intelligence qouta can have very low testosterone. The study only pin pointed out that diet and environment/epigenetics is very helpful and may help you very much with iq and testosterone. Since this is among many individuals epigenetics is the most likely the cause to this.

Omar Mo :

Are we calling people dumber because of their biological gender ?

Think Meta :

Graphing IQ in this way is an abuse of the term. IQ is a narrow psychometric instrument, and its meaning depends entirely on controlled conditions, standardized administration, and careful interpretation. Social media provides none of those constraints. Once IQ is presented in an “academic‑looking” format online, it becomes misinformation by mechanism: a metric detached from the environment required for its validity.

Andy :

Those are interesting, but you missed a very important point. Even if you take the graph at face value, it doesn't support the claim they are making. For all the test levels with substantial data, there are iq hits scattered between 60 and 140. That's a huge range,meaning that given a test levels, you can't use that graph to predict iq at all!

Peter Mettler :

Awesome and unsurprising.
