What was Nietzsche’s IQ?
I suspect somewhere around 130, as he was smart, but his lack of understanding surrounding metaphysics makes me believe that he wasn’t THAT smart.

He was probably very high iq, he was a professor at like 21

What do you mean?
Also IQ tests didn't exist at any point during his lifetime so there's no way to answer this question, and there still wouldn't be even if IQ were anything other than a measure of how well an individual can solve certain kinds of simple mathematical problems (which it is).

I don't know, but I can tell OP is 95 on a good day.

Ah poor brainlets

He was not capable of the abstract thought required for metaphysical speculation, and thus, he clung to the material and praised it like it was his own child. This was not a sign of intelligence, but rather a furtive attempt to hide his ignorance and shortcomings when it came to things beyond his immediate comprehension.

If he was so smart, why did he eat nothing but fruit?

>somewhere around 130
>tfw as smart as nitch

Fruits are based, the only reason not to eat them is if ripe ones are not available. He probably should have gotten them juiced though, undoubtedly the excess fiber contributed to his intestinal troubles.

130 IQ is avg on this board so stop being lazy and read then write

>why did he eat nothing but fruit?
He was a NEET and had to save money.

This. Nietzsche is emotive and has nothing interesting to say. But I do not really blame him that much because of his condition. Maybe if he wasn't so sick all the time he would have made interesting developments in philosophy.

he is a poor man's mainlander

He brought up apollonian dionysian dualistic historicism and his work on master-slave relation was great

This post is yet another example of someone overrating Nietzsche due to lack of knkwledge about the 19th century

Wdym

Nietzsche's ideas are always so uninformative. He's more destructive rather than constructive, and even his destructive projects are nothing more than autistic screeching. His Apollonian/Dionysian dichotomy isn't even new, Rudolf Steiner used it before him. Nietzsche's master-slave morality is nothing more than a simplistic rehashing of Hegel's master-slave dialectic. He doesn't deserve to be called a philosopher in my opinion.

I tested at 140ish as a child and I've never been more than slightly above average at math at best. Spatial reasoning isnt the same as math, and there's a large verbal/linguistic component as well.

Donno, don’t care..

Dystopian. Any good?

Not even me

Clearly not the case

Nietzsche was not, by any means, capable of thinking outside of materialism. He did not grasp metaphysics, and this is evident by his vague attempts at trying to refute it. If he did understand it, he could of formulated a solid argument as to why it was wrong instead of rehashing things he heard from previous philosophers. Garbage.

materialism is a metaphysics, dumbass

>materialism is metaphysics
It’s retarded...

Depends. Unfortunately, it isn't dystopian, much more generic. It's about an user, who is a worthless NEET. One day he gets on a bus, falls asleep, then wakes up in the same bus at a Soviet summer camp, mostly filled with girls which he has to romance. The highlight of the game was when I successfully seduced one of the girls, only for her to commit suicide after we spent the night in her tent. Probably after she realises whom she was seduced by.

If you're well read in philosophy you see through Nietzsche straight away. Hegel did master slave, Heraclitus did the flux of appearances, Schopenhauer the striving will, Callicles did might is right ethics, Protagoras did perspectivism, Parmenides and Heraclitus did contradictions. Fuck even Schelling did his cosmology to an extent before him.

This is a stupid bait thread but what the hell. Guys like Nietzsche, who are part of the Western canon, will always be in the top 0.1% simply because they're part of the Western canon. Whether you believe in what they say or not. Nietzsche in particular has this uncanny ability to destroy a whole thinker or line of thought (I'm thinking of Kant and stoicism respectively) with just a few sentences. His lengthy diatribes against Wagner were influential as hell, while he didn't personally believe a word he wrote about him. (He admitted in private letters to his friend Peter Gast that Parsifal was Wagner's best music, that "all other music sounds like a mistake" in comparison to the Prelude, all while in his publications he expressed his utter hatred for Parsifal.) Der Fall Wagner opens with Nietzsche's unrelenting praise for "Bizet's masterpiece, Carmen" while he talks in letters to Gast about how that was basically all bullshit to make a point.
He was fluent in Latin, Ancient Greek, French, and English. He expressed his admiration for Dante multiple times, so it's safe to assume he learned enough Italian to read him in the original. He was a professor at the age of 24. His first serious work, The Birth of Tragedy, was derided by his philologist contemporaries -- contemporaries whose names are forever lost to history while The Birth of Tragedy proved hugely influential, the mark of genius. And with all of this, his prose is in Germany to be considered among the best, and probably THE best among all German philosophers.

Metaphysics, by definition, refers to the writings that came ‘after the “Physics” ’ by Aristotle.

“Heraclitus will remain eternally right with his assertion that being is an empty fiction. The apparent world is the only one: the “true” world is merely added by a lie.”

He became a professor of philology at the age of 21. As someone who graduated cum laude in Classics at the age of 25, I'd say that being a professor in philology at 21 is prodigious. He probably had genius-level IQ tbqh. Same could be said of John Stuart Mill.

Okay. So is it automatically true that by denying the concept of "true world" and "apparent world" one is assumed to be a believer in materialism? You're the one who fell into the trap thinking that he believed in that when Nietzsche addressed this problem in the earlier aphorisms of Beyond Good and Evil, but also gave his view of what reality is in The Will to Power, and that worldview fueled the french theorists later in the 20th century. You're not the genius here, sorry, so don't be so envious of Nietzsche mmkay? ;)

I don't think IQ is an accurate method of gauging intelligence

I mean what does 'intelligence' even mean? Pattern recognition and simple mathematic skills? Counting down from 100? No. Intelligence is something unquantifiable. The only thing an IQ test measures is how well you're able to take IQ tests.
But I would think Frederich was like ~180 or so.

IQ is a shitty system, it ignores many forms of intelligence and only focuses on only specific forms instead. For example, Mike Tyson had a very low IQ score, but he's still more successful than most of the fags ITT who claim to be high IQ.

>But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

Denouncing metaphysics as idealistic hogwash doesn't mean he couldn't grasp it.

>thinking outside the box
That sounds like a phrase some overpaid elementary school teacher would use at the start of "arts and crafts hour".

>IQ is shit because it doesn't measure the ability to succeed at something that has little to do with intelligence
That's a terrible example, user.

except it doesn't. The general IQ score is composed of different sub scores. The actual report will give you a detailed explanation and insight into the subscores you obtained.

Mike Tyson is dumb as shit though. Outliers don’t disprove the trend.

>uncanny ability to destroy a whole thinker or line of thought (I'm thinking of Kant and stoicism respectively) with just a few sentences

lmao lets see this

>Wrote my master's thesis on Plotinus/Hegel.

can i read it? thats big brain

Is he really that dumb? I've seen his podcast and he was pretty enlightened about a few things

Got some news for you, user.

Stupid people can say smart things. Iq is legit people just underrate both what a 70 iq is capable of and what a 140 iq is capable of. Lots of more or less functional people have abysmally low iqs, and the high iqs understanding is universally vast, they are better at everything, even “emotional intelligence” is something that the high iq will have more of.

Are IQ tests a good measure of intelligence?

Evaluate.

>The general IQ score is composed of different sub scores.
It doesn't matter when the sub-scores are all basically maths-related. People can be talented in various things, not just maths.

>little to do with intelligence
I hope you don't believe that something like fighting a boxing match or MMA doesn't require intelligence. There's a reason why fight IQ is a thing.

How does Nietzsche compare to Hegel?

Nietzsche was the anti-Hegel.

>Mike Tyson is dumb as shit though.
That's the point. Even then, despite that he had the fighting intelligence to make it to the top.

What's his fight IQ?
~190?

He didn’t agree with him, but he still stole his ideas and then changed them a little so he could pass them off as his own.

Yes. What they aren't a good measure of is wisdom.

Hegel's master and slave dialectic and Nietzsche's master and slave morality are too similar concepts for it to just be a coincidence, so Nietzsche definitely read Hegel but was too smug and arrogant to give credit where it was due.

But does Hegel regard the dialectic as an emergent property of perspectivism, as Nietzsche does for morality? Nietzsche's master-slave morality system is founded on a grand natural order rather than mere dialectics.

I'm not sensing how that is relevant given that both of them are trying to explain where domination and submission come from in social situations; Nietzsche clearly gives it much more determinism view in my opinion, given that he thinks that having a certain morality causes you to act in a specific way. People with master moralities will not view domination as bad, hence they will dominate, and people who have slave morality view domination as bad, hence they won't.

Hegel thinks however that lordship and bondage is a dialectic, meaning it is argued or fought over, and the resolution of the dialectic is a specific social system and order where people accept their positions as masters and slaves, not that there is something intrinsic about being a "master" or a "slave".

>I'm not sensing how that is relevant given that both of them are trying to explain where domination and submission come from in social situations
Well, because of this:

>Hegel thinks however that lordship and bondage is a dialectic, meaning it is argued or fought over

Nietzsche does not think of it this way. Master and slave are master and slave by their nature. You're right that he gives it a more deterministic vibe than Hegel. Moralities are emergent properties of nature. So, they both used the dichotomy to explain social situations, but they conceive of the dichotomy in very different ways and come to different conclusions as a result.

I don't disagree entirely, but it's quite clear that Nietzsche read Hegel and tried to improve him, without giving him credit.

Perhaps, though it's not like it matters. He pretty much discarded Hegel's idea as soon as he read it apparently.

Cpuld you please torrent all your Björk pics? I'll seed for eternity.

115 is usually the range of people who arent dumb but think they are way smarter than they actually are so id guess Nietzsche is in that range. Im probably around 150.

Could be 160 or 170. I know what a person with 180 feels like and im generally justslightly below that.

You shouldn’t read Nietzsche at all; read Neoplatonist, the Kyballion, Aleister Crowley and other metaphysical works instead. If you can understand them, you’re already a step above Nietzsche and other materialist.

Delicious bait, OP. Really well done.
Placing his IQ at around 130 is subtle enough for people to not call you out like under 110 would be, but still low enough to get people mad. Using "metaphysics" as a sort of religious word too as an excuse in which you could easily have an out with, too, to continue making mad.
Look at everyone genuinely getting mad... this thread is doing better than my stoic bait thread a while ago.

>140
why do his pupils differ?

As I suspect you are being genuine, start with the Gay Science. Since it is aphoristic and covers a wide range of topics, it should be a good intro to Nietzsche.
Zarathustra is mostly metaphorical, and is pretty much impossible to understand if you haven't read Nietzsche before, as 99% of it's meaning will go completely past you (which is why so many people say nietzsche is nonsense, btw, as for example people will actually think, when Nietzsche uses the word "dancing", he really means dancing lol).

>Hegel's master and slave dialectic and Nietzsche's master and slave morality are too similar concepts for it to just be a coincidence
only they aren't similar other than name, which is all people that don't read the two see lol

Not sure if bait you’re doing yourself a disservice by being vexed by the notions someone else has of you, especially someone you deem as intellectually inferior. Let the fool be happy be happy dwelling in ignorance, and you, maybe a tad less foolish, acknowledge that in the grand scheme of things you know maybe a little better, so don’t flatter yourself as above anyone, and be your actions and your way of life and your love for wisdom speak for you, not your knowledge.
