Hello to all girlz n guyz on the TGC forums.
Like the title says, what is your personnal I.Q.? Are any of you girlz/guyz super intelligent and how does that affect your personnal life? Are any of you girlz/guyz doing mental excercises or other things to get a higher I.Q. or to at least mantain a good I.Q.? Or, where you born with a high I.Q.?
I did some I.Q. tests and my I.Q. varies between 125 and 132. So, you could say that I'm smart but not super intelligent.
So, whuts your I.Q.?
Please discuss. Thanks.

And, was it a general I.Q. test, or a specific one? Like, there are tests that test your verbal, mathematical, spacial, logical intelligence. Was it any of those, or a mix of them?

Cheers

I took an online (general) test a few years ago, and scored a 135 on it. Didn't think much of it though considering it was a free online test. There weren't any "click on one of these offers to unlock your score" adverts, so it obviously wasn't a money scam, but meh.

When I was 9 or 10 I took a series of tests to determine if I should be put in the accelerated program for school. One of them was an IQ test and, going by my dad, I have an IQ of 136 to 140. I forget the exact number. However, that was a good while ago so my IQ probably changed a little bit by now.

General IQ tests I have taken usually give between 130 and 140. So sometimes I am a 'genius', other times I am just smart. Meh. I know a few people with IQs in excess of 153. They're both Electrical Engineers and programmers.

Call me a troll, but IQ tests mean nothing, really. Each test has its own questions, there is no real way to measure ones intelligence. While some may be book smart (what IQ tests measure), others may be street smart, or a combination of both.

It's sad that people need a number to measure their own self-worthiness.

An IQ test is the only way to accurately gauge the overall capacity of a person.

Standardized tests just tell you how much you study/ how well you can take a test.

There is one test which I took a LONG time ago, and it actually was fairly useful in determining peoples logic skill. The old Otis Lennon tests. They presented puzzles and logic challenges. Those are what should really measure ability. Google lateral thinking problems. Sometimes I print out full packets and do them on the subway, just to go home and check if my answers are logical.

Whether or not it's accurate enough to be of any use is debatable. Even if it is, though, I don't see why we need to know a person's "overall capacity." Are we going to start refusing people certain jobs because, regardless of their skill level, they don't have as high an overall capacity as another, seemingly less qualified applicant? Are we going to use it to place students in more advanced classes, even though the correlation between many subjects and IQ is almost non-existent, and subject-specific tests do a much better job at determining ability?

Oh, and IQ tests are standardized tests, though I'm assuming you were referring to the ones that students are required to take in school, in which case I agree--in fact, I've heard that SAT score is a better predictor of family income than scholastic aptitude.

That's like asking what use people have for a personality test. It is just a way of categorizing people. It's an indicator and a label, which has been used to make predictions about people's behavior, just like a personality profile has.

Also yes, IQ tests have been used to place students in accelerated courses.

IQ tests aren't based around things you already know, and that way they level the playing field in a sense, where one person who may not necessarily know as much as another, can figure things out more quickly and accurately if they are generally more intelligent.

You're comparing apples and oranges here. What does the amount of money someone makes have to do with how smart they are?

What's your problem with IQ tests? They're pretty accurate as far as I have experienced...

Yes, and I don't like placing weight on personality tests either. They are, like IQ tests, quick and efficient ways of obtaining a not-so-accurate picture of somebody when you don't have the time/resources to legitimately evaluate that person. That doesn't make it a good idea to use them, though.

Quote: "IQ tests aren't based around things you already know, and that way they level the playing field in a sense, where one person who may not necessarily know as much as another, can figure things out more quickly and accurately if they are generally more intelligent."


I understand what IQ tests examine. The problem is that they try to simplify a ridiculously complex aspect of life--intelligence--to a single dimension, and in doing so they become nothing more than a way for people to show others how much smarter they are. The correlation between IQ and intellectual ability isn't strong enough to make IQ tests useful.

Quote: "What's your problem with IQ tests? They're pretty accurate as far as I have experienced..."


I don't have a problem with IQ tests per se; I have a problem with people placing more weight on them than is appropriate.

Quote: "You're comparing apples and oranges here. What does the amount of money someone makes have to do with how smart they are? "


I'm not really sure what you're responding to here. My comment about SAT scores was in agreement with yours--you said that standardized tests like the SAT do not accurately measure intelligence even though they're supposed to, and I agreed and said that they're actually a better indicator of family income than scholastic aptitude. And, for the record, the amount of money someone makes has a lot to do with how smart they are.

Well that's you're opinion. Why, exactly, are these tests 'not-so-accurate', in your opinion? They accurately give a picture of someone's personality in most instances. Most apsects of someone's personality are redundant, so listing them all out is useless when you can highlight the areas of contrast between people. that is what a personality test is for.

Quote: "The correlation between IQ and intellectual ability isn't strong enough to make IQ tests useful."


Uhhh... Citation? IQ is a direct indicator of someone's intellectual ability.

Quote: "I have a problem with people placing more weight on them than is appropriate."


And how much weight is that, exactly?

Quote: "And, for the record, the amount of money someone makes has a lot to do with how smart they are."


Sure, in your shallow view of the world I bet it does.

Guys, calm down, this is turning in to a flame war over nothing, The Slayer was just being curious about about how intelligent people on these forums are, and quite frankly starting a flame war isn't going to give him a good impression on that.

@the slayer
My I.Q. was about 130/140 a few years ago, which was quite high for my age at the time (though I was friends with all the smartest people who got 150~) but I'm sure it's increased.
But I wouldn't say that's an accurate measure of my intelligence as I study a lot of random things at home and am generally pretty quick at picking them up, I often find it easier to pick things up than people with a higher I.Q.

Thanks, PlanetaryFunk. Smart move.
The point of this thread was not to start a flame war about I.Q. tests. Thanks.
Personnaly I think I.Q. tests are a good way of testing one's intelligence, but they aren't allways accurate. I like I.Q. tests, because they are a good way of keeping your grey cells active, and get smarter. Heheheh.
Said that, it appears that listening to Mozart's Sonate for two piano's for about ten minutes, would improve your spatial intelligence.
Also, the regular I.Q. tests only test 3 or four types of intelligence. There are 9 different forms of intelligence, which are:
- Verbal intelligence
- Spatial intelligence
- Logical/mathematical intelligence
- Musical intelligence
- Physical abilities
- Interpersonal intelligence (the ability to comprehend and interpret the behaviour of others in a verbal/non verbal way)
- Intrapersonnal intelligence
- Naturalistic intelligence
- Existential intelligence

Having an I.Q. that is lower than others, doesn't mean you're dumb. It just means that your abilities for those areas of intelligence are less evolved or stimulated. But, that also means that you can improve yourself and get smarter.
You could be 'smarter' in other areas of intelligence too.

Quote: "i think i am the dumbest person on this forum "

Why would you think that? Being smarter doesn't make you a better man, you know?

When I took a general in school I scored 160-162(15 years ago), but the teacher threw it out because she said I never showed any interest in learning and spent most of my time goofing off and doodling, 'I must have cheated'.

Never taken one since and never plane too. Though I will admit my friends call me the smartest dumb person they've ever met.

I have the opposite problem. I got a 135 on a school-administered test in third grade and I figured, that can't be right, there's no way I'm that smart...

I took one when I was fourteen and got 152... I took the same test this year and got 138 So I'm getting dumber as time goes by. That's really depressing.

I took a legitimate one a few months ago and scored a 128(?) Either 128 or 124, I can't remember exactly. Seeing as 140 is "genius" I was plenty alright with a 128.

It was a general one. If I was to take one specific for math, probably around 100. If one for writing, probably much higher. Heck, I scored the highest possible points on a placement test on sentencing structure for my college. Unfortunately my comprehension is a standard level so I was still placed in the regular Engish class =( lol.

It's amazing to me how a thread on IQ can start a flamewar. Really says something about those few particular members here.

I only took an IQ test once, in sixth grade to determine if I should be placed in the advanced class. I'm highly sensitive, so I greatly under perform while someone is watching me, and the test giver sat right next to me watching everything I did. I screwed up everything, even the basic starter question 5+4. I still remember to this day how I answered '7' and there was a long pause before the test giver replied, "Uh... are you sure? 7?"

I was not moved to the advance class.

Yes, it says us members don't need a number to represent what we know and don't know. It's like saying money represents how respectable a person is.

Yes, but neither does a flame war. It seems most people on these forums respect others opinions which makes this a great place to post, but when things break down with no real agitator it makes people think twice as well as not starting these things makes the mods jobs a lot easier.

To what flame war are you referring? I thought it was a pretty nice discussion up until the very end. The fact that there are people debating views on a subject doesn't make it a flame war.

...it's an attempted scale of intelligence, and seeing as people we generally call intelligent tend to have high IQ, i'd be willing to say it does a fairly good job at scaling intelligence

Stephen Hawking never took an IQ test


Score!


[edit]
And I disagree with the chart that says people generally score around 100...Obviously the chart's creator has not seen people at Wal-mart (not the employees btw).

[edit]
Or I can agree with the chart if 100 means people are generally stupid.

I think that IQ tests are scaled such that the median score is 100, and the standard deviation is around 15.

so, being able to count backwards, being able to remember positioning of objects aso makes me a good physisist or a great mathematic person?
yeah that makes sense...?

You assume that being intelligent means you have to be one of those things. There are forms of intelligence other than maths,

I define intelligence as your ability to use logic in any given situation.

I just now realized I've had a typo in my signature for the past 3 years.

I would say that intelligence is a matter of opinion, I would obviously look up to a brilliant mind as say einstein with awe and say he is intelligent.
I would also look up to a strategic battlefield mastermind with awe and say him to be intelligent.
I would also look up to a philosopher and say wow thats clever.

There are many forms of intelligence. But i definitly dont think being able to count backwards defines intelligence any more than being able to roll your thumbs.
