If I'm low IQ then it doesn't matter how hard or what I try, I can't succeed. I need to know the truth to avoid wasting my time, I'm trying to be realistic.
I also can't be an olympic athlete to beat Usain Bolt's 100m world record, it's impossible. The same thing with being low IQ, if I actually am low IQ or just putting self-limiting beliefs upon myself.
People like you should've never learn what IQ is, just like all those retards finding out about a myriad of mental disorders and start applying them to themselves.
Learn to live life without labels.
12% of the population can't even join the military, how can you say that IQ doesn't matter?

I'm saying that you knowing doesn't do anything for you. You are putting barriers in your path. Rather than say you can't do CS because of low IQ, you should say I'm failing CS because I'm struggling, but if I study harder than I'll be able to do it.
College is stupid easy now, it's mostly just busy work. Stop comparing it to oranges. Stop making your goal some kind of impossible to attain thing. Graduating with a CS degree is not nearly as impossible as being the fastest runner in the world.

Ok I hope you're right, I wasn't sure the other posters were serious when they were saying that I have low IQ but you seem serious when saying this, which I guess answers my original question that I'm just lazy.

I had a roommate in college that I swear was retarded. He graduated in ME. He struggled a lot and failed classes, but he put in tons of effort.
The whole "smart but lazy" meme is the most pathetic thing in the world.
You could very much be "low IQ" but all that means is that it'll be more difficult for you. And that is something people should recognize about you, that you have a disadvantage but still managed to do it. Effort is really the only thing that matters.
Seriously though if I'm low IQ then I shouldn't be studying this major (even though I want to) to avoid wasting time and money. I can't tell if I'm just lazy or too stupid or both.

That's the spirit. That is THE mindset you want to have throughout your life. If you keep it up then maybe you too can be a gigantic loser too.

MENSA is useless and a cult at best. Virtually no difference to a mongolian basket weaving forum.
he can visit a therapist and take an IQ test here
either way hes retarded
>Is there hope for me?
It's over for you. Have fun being a help desk jockey.
Uh, you should already know whether you're lazy or not.

different people learn at different rates. you will never get as far as a fast learner, but can you get far enough for your own goals?
