Is that the laser, electricity, microwave, etc. YouTube channel guy who has a medical condition causing super high testosterone?
Pictured: Outlier (155 IQ, 1650 testosterone ng/dl) carries control (110 IQ, 800 testosterone ng/dl).
That's just Richard Feynman.
Zardoz was a documentary.
"YEAH, QUANTUM MECHANICS, BITCH! GARGLE MY QUARKS! ONE IS UP AND ONE IS DOWN SO THEY DON'T COLLIDE!"
*bench presses quantum computer in lab coat, but it is open to show off his abs.
EXPLOSIONS!!!??!
Duh, it’s Johnny Kim. Navy Seal, astronaut, and Harvard MD. One man.
A guy who is likely kind of smart and on steroids
Some people have crazy testosterone levels for medical reasons. StyroPyro did a YouTube video a few months back about his testosterone levels.
Hope he's doing alright. He didn't know why they were elevated at the time.
A guy who is really* smart.
Anyone have a link to the source
Edit: I need this for a argument I’m currently having
I googled but could not find source. I only found more memes based on this graph. Which isn't to say it's fake, could simply be in some research paper hidden away under a paywall. 15k sample is a very big study though.
The graph alone is highly problematic to make any argument though as it doesn't specify other critical axis such as age which would highly change the meaning of this graph. The older you are, T levels fall, but your IQ increases. So age alone can potentially explain the phenomenon we're seeing here.
My attempt to find the graph only resulted in many counter points, however.
- https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9845018/ looked at only young men and women, so the age no longer becomes an issue. But among young men, higher T is advantageous. I can only read the abstract without paying. But does outline three conclusions there.
- https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15878571/ studied only 5 year old children. Which again showed a positive relationship between T and intelligence in boys.
- https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/030645309190018O this study on "normal" men and women, though not sure how they define normal, showed a negative relationship. But this once again doesn't define age in their study. Which continues with my previous point that simply older men will have lower T but higher IQ.
- Prenatal exposure to higher T also raised intelligence here: https://psychcentral.com/news/2011/03/14/testosterone-hormone-linked-to-higher-iq
You are are gift. Thanks for all the links!

This is what full testosterone does to a man

Styropyro?

Is that the YouTube that couldn't grow a beard even though he was in his thirties so he had this hormone levels checked and his testosterone was through the roof?
Lmao I'm happy this has so many likes, I was thinking the same thing. Hope he's doing well
Yes he is, he has aquired 300 additional car batteries btw
It would have been likely even before the news...
He’s as smart as Ben Shapiro thinks he is, and as manly as Andrew Tate thinks he is.
What must his life be like?
Full of testosterone supplements and cheating.
Dolph Lundgren.
First thing that came to my mind when I saw the question 'What is his life like?'
He dated Grace Jones
She ran through him like a (very very very) hot knife through butter
Reacher
Said nothing.
Testosterone Georg, who live in a library and dopes up on T is an outlier and should not have been counted.
thats blatant discrimination against outliers, I vote the line be tweaked into a third order polynomial that fits the highest points to better fit the data.
Excel curve fitting to the rescue!
lol, Spiders Georg was my first thought as soon as I saw the graph
Neverending Hulkmania.

ovaltinetestosterone please!Never show your R^2
Oh, to have both the realization that everybody is a complete moron, and the urge to punch them because of it...
Yeah I saw this and all I could think was "Mad! The guy is going to be mad about all of the stupid while also knowing he can't use his fists to make it (actually) better". A constant cycle of never having all of the solutions or a way to feel better.
logically, I'm horny
Pon farr.
Btw is this real? I thought there was no conclusive data on testosterone and inteligence being related. Most sources say that its the change which matters(meaning that if you start taking it) and not the baseline except in the extremes.
It probably lacks correction for age...
i started balding at 20 so it could very well be me
You're halfway there, you just need to get smarter now!
i don't think i could possibly be smarter than i already am.
...the scale goes 0-100, right
For about a month every day, he drank 500grams of protein powder, mixed with meth and cocaine - power lifted every day .... literally saw the face of God for a moment and could understand space and time ... then suffered a massive heart attack and died.
That’s the alpha chad meme
Definitely transmasc lol.
Man i hate confirming these kinds of biases. I wish this plot werent true, but it makes so much sense.
The R^2 is trash, this is just a very squished cloud
It's Add Health, so it's not even the R2 that's the problem but the fact it's probably got a ton of covariates not included in the model. Lots of contextual variables not in that set drive me nuts, although I'm not even sure if 5th wave exists or has testosterone data lol (haven't used it in years)
Well, it's also important to note that the variability is high so the prediction for a single individual won't be of much use
I wish this plot werent true
That's an easy wish! Last time I saw this plot people were saying that this kind of data doesn't even exist in the mentioned source (that and IQ is kind of bogus, but y'know)
Jack Reacher, the vanilla gorilla.
Hairy genius!
That’s a bonafide Boltzmann brain.

Inconceivable!
