This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Its widely considered as the standard metric for general intelligence.
That's not to say it is perfect or doesnt have gaps, it doesn't assess creativity, EQ, rational thinking, wisdom or impacts from socioeconomic.
However what is does measure are things like abstract reasoning, pattern recognition, working memory.
Its one of the strongest single predictors of academic performance, job complexity learning, and overall occupational success, and those things pretty obviously correlated with general intelligence.
