In recent weeks I have met a pretty and sweet girl with what I consider her only biggest problem: her IQ. She is slow, does not remember things and has no concentration at all, has no arguments, systematically repeats the usual twenty words. (A bit like the character of Forrest Gump, for those who do not know what low iq means). I feel like I like it to go deeper, but I wonder if it’s not a mistake. Do you have similar experiences?

    It’s kinda unrelated to your question but actually IQ have no much link with intelligence.

    To come back to your question idk. I can’t give relationship advices, but it’s always interesting to learn to know peoples deeper especially if she really is that different of peoples you know.

    Maybe you can give it a shot or try to befriend her instead. Again I’m misplaced to give relationship advices, just see these as ideas, maybe bad maybe good.

    Go for it, she seems like she’s on your level.

    Maybe she can even teach you not to make life decisions based on fascist pseudoscience.

      But with great respect, the question isn’t about a supposed measured level of IQ. OP is just saying “she don’t seem all that smart, guv’nor” and use the term IQ as a short hand for this. I doubt OP has sat down and asked this girl to do an official IQ test. Not sure why this immediately has to descend into a discussion about fascism and white supremacy.

        IQ was made to find out who the worst-performing student in a class was, and then immediately became about deciding who to sterilize.

        Use in a classroom setting is questionable enough as is, but when applied in a general sense to other things, that’s fascist pseudoscience.
