IQ test results form sceners?

category: general [glöplog]
You rock, I've actually been rated 120 after an official test but always have been lazy to study at school and now I'm struggling to find some good job.

More seriously, talking about IQs is being veryveryvery unhuman.
there are different scales tho!
It's about the beret dood. AND YOU KNOW IT SINCE BP08!

IQ tests are for the gullible.
In my opinion, they should call it a Mystery Quotient.. or a [insert inventor's name here] Quotient... or a Puzzler Fun-time Badge Quotient. That would be more descriptive and take some of the stigma and insanity out of it.

IQ tests are bullshit to begin with. Sure, intelligent people tend to do better on them than stupid people, but solving a bunch of puzzles never got anyone nowhere.

IQ test for sceners?

IQ test for coders is acceptable but for graphic artists and musicians, EQ test is better I guess.

To win at IQ tests you have to think like the guys who invented them. Doesn't have much to do with "intelligence", more with flexibility and empathy. What is intelligence anyway?

Is it...
... the processing speed of your brain in MHz?
... how much use your mind is to society?
... the time you need to switch thinking directions?
... how close you are to autism?

"As long as you are able to think you don't know what intelligence really is". That statement doesn't make any sense, but it sounds philosophic :)

Well that's the thing, the problem is with the value people place on them as an accurate measure of the worth of someone's mind. Really, all I can see it testing is the flexibility of information processing, the ability to de-contextualize methods of processing information and reuse them in other contexts, in a pretty inflexible environment. IMO, what it's really testing is a certain set of skills and mental processes that may or may not be useful in real world applications. It's pretty good at that, but as the results are weighted based on certain skills, it's a bit of a stretch to consider them the last word on the ability of someone's mind.
is 50 a good or bad result ?

50 is good because I hate you.

Also I've read some shit about the IQ telling, people with high IQ are not smoking, drinking alcohol or taking any kind of drugs. (yes they stopped living at all. :D)
This seems not very logical to me.


Correlation != causation.

Well, yeah, but that's not all intelligence is. Changing 1 + 1 = 2 to B = A + A is one technique, but being good at mental arithmetic requires a different set of skills, and both are contenders for inclusion in the consideration of someone's intelligence.

so true - and that's why mental arithmetic is *not* considered as "intelligence".
