forgot to add "bad"

There's absolutely no point, other than making you feel about yourself unless you reach at least 140, which most of people don't.

As a kid it's helpful for gauging approximately what grade you should be in. That's what they were made for.

As an adult it's pointless.

The guy with the higher IQ gets the job and 299k starting.

It's useful for diagnosing developmental problems.

Other than that, there really isn't any point, no.

It's important to justify racism.

It's a way of comparing intelectual penises.

It's a measure of the effects of poverty on those affected by racism.

>>3613355

Didn't studies show that this is independent of social status?

Where can I take an IQ test?

>>3613359
Then why would it be that people in Sub-Saharan Africa have a far lower IQ than the people in the 9th ward of New Orleans?

>>3613369
Maybe because they are ... black?

>>3613369
because slave owners had bastard kids with the slaves mixing the gene pool

>>3613369

Because most of /sci/ appears to be racist fuckwits that think IQ means something.

>>3613369
This might shock you, but they are different people. As in different heritage, different genes. They just happened to originate from the same continent. That this continent is also the most genetically diverse for humans, by far, would show you an idiot for stating such a question.

>>3613411
IQ means you score well on an IQ test.

Also its a general predictor of how a child will preform academically.

>>3613416
>genes

I couldn't find this word in the bible.
You do know that all humans descended from Adam and Eve, don't you?
And they were white.

>What's the point of taking an IQ test?
To determine how good you are at IQ tests compared to others.

Protip: An IQ test is a flawed method of measuring intelligence

>MFW I got was tested at 145 when I was 12 years old

Whats the point of measuring your penis?

>>3613427
Protip: it is also the best method available.

>>3613433
It's the niggers' revenge for IQ racism.

>>3613432
>implying that the "best method available" is accurate

>>3613452
>implying your implication was implicitly implied

>>3613416
I failed to take that into account, but what is going on down there?

>>3613442
Then the Italians have the best of both worlds. Mama Mia!

You can't argue people good at IQ tests aren't good at the skills tested.
Now, maybe there are parts of intelligence which aren't measured.
inb4 emotional intelligence. Nope.

>>3613458
For one, malnutrition. While there are studies that compare blacks to white in IQ adjusted for economic situation, it would be quite cumbersome to raise an entire civilization to a state of prosperity just to test their intelligence with malnutrition not a factor. As such, no one has succeeded in doing so, and malnutrition is therefore a factor in the pathetic intelligence of sub saharan africans.

>>3613480

Yes, it's a decent test of certain skills within a couple of standard deviations of the mean.

>>3613458
Jesus christ, get it together. That blacks are dumber than whites adjusted for economic and social standign does not mean those two have no effect on intelligence. On the contrary it strongly suggests that it does, meaning that poverty could very well be a major contributor as to why sub saharan blacks are dumber than their american counterparts, despite the american blacks being dumber than whites due to genetics.

THEY'RE POOR AS SHIT THAT'S WHY. NO THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE ONLY FACTOR BUT IT SURE AS HELL IS ONE YOU MONGOLOID FUCKING PERVERTSPAWN

>>3613515
Why are you so stupid?

>>3613530
I'm not. If I was, you'd have an error in my posts to point out.

>What's the point of taking an IQ test?

You're allowed to be smarter than other people, besides black people.

They're meaningless.

>>3613543
So you say if I lose all my money, my IQ drops?

>>3613555
holy fucking shit

To know you're smarter than black people.

>>3613555
Try harder.

>>3613369

School.

You should ask yourself why whites in the ninth ward score higher than blacks in the ninth ward.

>>3613593
they have whites in the ninth ward now?

>>3613612

Yep.

Blacks from the same socioeconomic backgrounds commit crimes at a higher rate than whites, and have a lower IQ.

>Oh look, look! I'm a genius, adore me, envy! Clean my feet with your tongues!
I hate when people tell their IQ's, especially on the internet. Nobody cares about your IQ. Better tell me what you've achieved.
