Styropyro? Is that you?
Glad to see you and others beat me to it :)
hope he’s doing ok, he truly is unlike any other internet personality
He was my first thought too 😆
LOL
Hypothesis A:
- his name is J. Random Error
Hypothesis B:
- he’s real, has a brain anomaly, and is taking androgen antagonists (e.g. 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors) for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s not testosterone which has most biological effect, but dihydrotestosterone. T is just the guidance signal from the brain. DHT does the heavy lifting in tissue. If you don’t want to operate on the brain, you can block the result and leave the guidance signal going wrong.
Dihydrotestosterone Georg
Smart Hulk.
There’s probably severe health complications with that level of testosterone though.
roid raging chess club president
guys, he’s probably bald.
So is Sir Patrick Stewart. So what.
Omg thats Patrick Stewart
Make it so.
What if it’s Andrew Tate?
Lol gettin downvoted just for mentioning him. That goober is like beetlejuice
You say that like its a bad thing? I dont have to wait for my hair to dry…
not saying it’s a bad thing, but probably counter to the image people seem to have in mind in the comments.
That nice copium
Is that the laser, electricity, microwave, etc. YouTube channel guy who has a medical condition causing super high testosterone?
Styropro?
Yes!
a wild Styropyro appears
He’s as smart as Ben Shapiro thinks he is, and as manly as Andrew Tate thinks he is.
Impossible

*bench presses quantum computer in lab coat, but it is open to show off his abs.
EXPLOSIONS!!!??!
Pictured: Outlier (155 IQ, 1650 testosterone ng/dl) carries control (110 IQ, 800 testosterone ng/dl).
Probably bald and sad
What must his life be like?
Full of testosterone supplements and cheating.
So I’m not a data scientist but doesn’t this basically say that your testosterone and IQ are pretty independent of each other?
No, the big cloud of data points says they are pretty dependent and the little outlier says outliers can exist.
I am a scientist and it pisses me off that the independent variable is on the y axis
Yes thank you!
The depiction does not tell you anything since you cannot see structure in the black blob. It shows that outliers do exist which is expected since biology is messy.
There is the slightest anti correlation for measured testosterone levels and IQ, but on the individual level this is meaningless. There are people with testosterone resistance to various levels which would require diligent treatment to destill a more useful graph, but that’s infeasible.

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!
