List of Lolcow IQs (official/speculated)

[donksmanSupreme42]

This is a retarded mindset. Its like calling Nikola Tesla stupid just because a significant portion of his inventions are inaccessible to the general public. The tech is there, the genius behind his actions are there, that already speaks for itself no?

also templeOS and holyC do have some features that are unironically pretty damn brilliant and should be implemented in more mainstream systems

Fair ig

Pamperchu - 140+?

• Repairs vintage electronics, which requires a good deal of background knowledge, intuition, and patience
• Claims to have a Masters in Electrical Engineering, which seems plausible (given his full name is on the internet, how has no one found his education?)
• Claims to have worked for an "acoustics company" and a "company that makes robots that makes computer chips", which also seems plausible given his picture of him in a cleanroom suit (ironic) and Portland has a lot of electronics tech companies (Intel is in the region)

...maybe not any more, after all the alcohol, meth, and other drugs

Recently I have been getting into BirdTube; in particular I have been watching a lot of parrot / cockatoo videos. They are clever and, to an extent, loyal and empathic. They are also noisy and destructive arseholes, which allows for a comparison to be made with certain lolcows. Based upon my observations, I believe that a cockatoo is smarter and more capable of learning from experience than Russell Greer who I suspect has an IQ score in the low 70s.

You would be surprised at how far autistic dedication and repetitive training can go. I'd say 110-115 with a possible boost in VSI

So no official ones and all speculated.

 

[Juan But Not Forgotten]

YandereDev - 110-115

Eh, I'd argue it's lower. One may say "but he codes and that requires a lot of abstract thinking" and my response is "this is exactly why I think so" since he ignored every principle of OOP and keeps doing that. I do have a question though - do you guys think he is on the spectrum? He has some quirks but he strikes me more as just a narcissistic scumbag.

About Chris - I do agree that he is not that stupid as everyone likes to pretend he is. I've read that driving a car requires IQ above 70. Keep in mind that him graduating high school and a college means nothing - he was doing pretty bad according to papers from the garbage and admitted that Bob was doing his homework.

Also, IQ worship is for losers since many cows chose to claim they have one above average.

100% concur. It's like calling literary geniuses like Virginia Woolf or Dostoyevsky frauds just because their work is too complex. That's a you problem sir, for only being into lowbrow Netflix slop.

Ethan Ralph - negative IQ

 

[lolcow yoghurt]

My estimates for lolcows I've been following recently
Puppychan: 85
Kittydog: 40 at best
Emily Cassidy: 60-70
Gooseworx: 90-105
Fallenchungus: 80s
Ellen Woodbury (pizzacake): 90
Fanny Perret: 95-105
Ang Vondra: 105-120

My estimates for lolcows I've been following recently
Puppychan: 85

That's pretty optimistic imo. I always assumed she's in the 70s. Slightly retarded but not enough to be obvious.

 

[Cancer Man Metokur]

LTG - low 90s

Dale is the 70 IQ scholar

 

[Evil Whitey]

Careercows and reddit lolcows like Pizzacake are almost certainly 95-105 IQ.
JF Garapey and Liquid Chris for example are probably two standard deviations above the mean, especially JF since he is both a self taught programmer (one good enough to do freelance work) and a neurosurgeon. 130-150 IQ imo.

I find programmer lolcows (Pirate Software, Yandere Dev, Terry Davis) to be the most interesting, since you can get an insight into how they think via what patterns they use in their code. Yandere Dev has the bare minimum ability to create something functional that imitates a game in Unity, and his code reveals that he isn't good at making abstract and reusable patterns, something that you should learn how to do through experience if you want to be a programmer. Pirate software isn't much better; he never goes beyond basic data structures and most likely couldn't explain what a pointer or linked list is even if you put a gun to his head. I estimate Yandere Dev to be maybe 105IQ and Pirate Software to be 110.

Meanwhile Terry has mastery over multiple different programming domains, with many things he makes (e.g his terminal emulator supporting inline images) adding new and often genius features not found in ordinary software. He could have been another Kernigan if he had the proper support. He probably has an IQ of 150 or higher.
