IQ is good for roughly dividing people into three buckets:

85 to 115 = standard morons (68%)
>115 = non-imbecilic people (16%)

It's not very good at distinguishing the great intellects among the merely intelligent.

Hi fellow book lovers!

Recently, I've been speaking to a lot of friends and they all share the same sentiment.
The process of selling or giving away books online is not as simple and straightforward as it should be.
As a result, I created a questionnaire to help us readers and I was wondering if you could spare 2 minutes of your time to fill it.
The purpose of this questionnaire is to evaluate how easy and convenient it is for other book readers to sell/give away books.
The questionnaire is completely anonymous and also covers those not looking to sell books.

Please share and leave feedback if you can.
Thank you in advance.
Steve, a fellow book lover

Do you seriously believe this is a good measure of intelligence? Is life just an autistic video game and nothing more than solving puzzles? I feel like the whole IQ thing is a big reason for the dehumanizing shitty society we live in. I will always look down on people who look down on other people, but I can not bring myself to judge someone for their score in such a retarded test. That said I have to admit I never took an IQ test and I would probably fail utterly. But why people care so much about it is beyond me.

You know pal, you shouldn't take iq tests so seriously. Well for one it's ridiculous to suppose one can measure intelligence on a quantitative level, though it obviously does say something in a general way as with blacks, as well that for example it has to factor in my adhd, and here is your ego rub and defence of the score you have gotten, I've gotten an iq score of 130 on the same test and same site in the past, it's an internet test anon that it's more unreliable than a real test. And of course as it said itself it cannot correctly cater to certain types of people which I would not be able to say on this site, for obvious reasons.

You throw out essentially meaningless reddit buzzword statements like "knowing there is nothing new under the sun is true wisdom!" where you don't even know what that would involve, as in your use as I've shown was utterly stupid and unthinking.

Then you proceed to claim that because (if we go by IQ being an accurate measurement of intelligence) my score in the IQ was not particularly high, that I have no ability to call others midwits, but you called me a midwit in the first place when I said that wisdom rests on intelligence still, so are you agreeing with me now or still disagreeing with the midwit?

i wonder if we had the same deduction:
firstly the smallest block alternates corners, so the small block must be at the bottom. meaning it must be 1,3,or 4
then the other horizontal blocks are moving to left from smallest to largest and then returning, which means the largest must be left and the second largest block must be on the right, which knocks out 3 and 4 leaving 1
the dots don't appear to be moving but are increasing in number and are simply obscured by the blocks.
The next block would be like pic related except with one more hole somewhere i think
