According to these tests I had an IQ of 140.
It allowed me to visit high IQ clubs, where I realised, just because they can recognise patterns very well doesn't mean they are smart. Having a high IQ also comes with a price as it seems, because almost all of them were assburgers.

Interesting- that's quite unusual, from what I've heard. Did you receive subscores for your real test? If so, would you consider posting them (or an edited summary of them if you prefer)? It would be interesting to see if they match up with this anon's comment >>9636752

Additionally, were there any external factors that could have affected your performance on the real test? Is it possible you were sleep deprived, over stressed, etc?

>>9636794
I did receive subscores. I'm not at my house right now so I'll try to do it from memory.

>>9636810
Thanks anon. "Perceptual Reasoning" would seem to be the closest match to the online test, so it's interesting to see that the scores are still significantly different there.

I scored 131 on mensa.no, and I'm pretty sure my working memory is quite bad (I perform very poorly on "remember as many of these words as you can"-style tests). I'm quite tempted to go take a real IQ test now.

Attempts after the first are meaningless, except where it has been such a long time since your last attempt that you have completely forgotten all of the questions. Anyone could get a genius-level score by simply redoing it over and over, completing the earlier questions near-instantly and remembering what they tried before for the later questions.

How in anyway does IQ tests even test your intelligence? For instance it tests your vocabulary which has literally NOTHING to do with intelligence. Even solving Math questions has no bearing on your intelligence as both math and vocab are purely knowledge based for the most part. 100% meme.

I know you phaggots will say "XD but university grads and high monetary earners have higher iq thus proving it relates to intelligence.", yet not a single one of you stop and think that perhaps people who use actually bother to exercise their brain more often (learning subjects or mass amounts of reading) would obviously score higher than those who don't such as trades people. Knowledge =/= intelligence.

>>9639284
who actually bother to exercise*

>>9637786
I'd say it's fairly decent.

>>9639284
Also I forgot to mention that if you can study and get better at something (which you can do for iq tests) that means it is not actually testing your "base" intelligent. Being able to study something implies that is it a skillset, not a method for giving you your actual intelligence.

Guessed the last few (ran out of time, had a text).

Pretty happy. I remember doing these ages ago when I was younger and I felt like I got bad results, and I think further maths education changed my sort of pattern recognition for these problems.

>>9639284
It's also paradoxical how people claim that

1) IQ is immutable
2) You can't take IQ tests (including different tests) more than once because you'll learn the patterns and score higher

Then how did they reach the conclusion that IQ can't be increased?

>>9639308
I think the point is that IQ tests are a heuristic for your overall intelligence.

Your scoring on IQ tests aren't immutable, but the general pattern recognition skills that IQ tests are intended to assess can be learned, while the underlying pattern recognition in real world application isn't.

vocabulary is definitely related to intelligence. a good vocabulary is evidence of: the abilty to quickly understand and memorize new words, and the ability to associate thoughts with the best words to illustrate a point or describe a situation.

how did you drop out of high scholl? drugs? social ineptitude? unrealistic view of the world?

i ask because high school is so easy if you are actually intelligent in the usa. like i graduated with a 4.0 and probably studied less than 40 hours outside of classes. come in, do homework in class, fall asleepa, ace tests. it would have been harder for me to fail than to get straight as. although i wasnt doing drugs, and that probably would have screwed things up.

>133
>Study in high school
>Want cs in college

>>9640123
>related to intelligence
Literally untrue. It is a purely knowledge based thing, you read the meaning of a word then execute the word. There is no creativity or original thought in memorizing new words. Especially in the way IQ tests ask you, which is "what is the meaning of x" or "what is the opposite to x".

>how did you drop out of high scholl
Got kicked out of my house at 15 so I had to work instead of go to school. Plus I hated school to begin with, its probably the least effective means of learning. I had friends and would generally ace tests regardless of homework or study. However my grades were all like C-B level, teachers grade you on how much they like you as a person as well as putting more emphasis on homework than tests.

In Canada we have loads of marks like """"""participation""""" or homework like "draw a picture of math blocks to show you understand math XD". I refused to lower myself to kindergarten level of intelligence and draw meme pictures or work on retard assignments. Thus I would receive 0% in participation and homework mark would also be 0%. Left a very sour taste about schooling in general, so I never bothered to go back to school. I find that self teaching subjects I enjoy to be much more effective.

memory is what enables you to take ideas and create new ideas. it enables analogy and reasoning. i have worked in industry for 5 years after undergrad and am now working on my phd. everyone who does well in a competitive environment has an excellent memory.

I was administered a real IQ test as part of a full battery of neuropsychological testing. It takes hours and costs thousands of dollars.
On the WAIS-IV, my GAI ("General Ability Index") was 150.

On real, professionally administered IQ tests they don't simply average together subscores. There is a full table of subscores with a particular full-scale IQ associated with every combination of subscores. Generally speaking an exceptionally high score on one section carries much more weight than an average score on another section. So it makes sense that your "average" is higher than the average of two subscores (since it is still somewhat lower than your higher subscore).

I only studied physics because of the reputation. Instead of figuring out what I wanted, I pursued something I cared nothing about for the sake of external validation. I grew to hate it so much it made me want to kill myself. I had really given up before I started, because I gave up on myself.
When I realized that I'd never had an insight or an interesting thought about physics beyond "how would I explain this to someone who has never heard of the concept before?" I finally felt confident that I had made the right choice in giving it up. There are so many other topics that I care about so much more, about which I actually feel I have ideas.

The problem with being labeled as "smart" is that everyone assumes you are STEM-minded (especially if you are male). When I had that psych testing done I found out that my verbal intelligence is actually my greater strength, and I understood why the only part of physics I ever enjoyed was teaching.

Something I never said, I have only stated that memory is not intelligence. I did say that vocabulary is unrelated to intelligence which is true, it is raw memorization. Language with analogies, metaphors, etc can be related to intelligence but vocab is 100% simple memorization.

>>9640924
(jumping in mid conversation)
>I did say that vocabulary is unrelated to intelligence which is true, it is raw memorization.
That is not at all true. When I was administered the WAIS-IV there were sections involving words I had never heard of before that I had to evaluate in some way (not define!), which I was able to do because there are patterns in language. Words can be made up symbols, but they are not just made up symbols. If every word was an arbitrary symbol with no meaning other than its definition, it would be true that vocabulary is just "raw memorization." Happily for me, that is not the case.
The larger part of the verbal sections did focus more on the sorts of verbal reasoning that you recognize as an indicator of intelligence (like LSAT questions).

I'm amused that you are debating IQ tests but seem to think you know more about how they should be structured than the researchers who develop the leading proprietary tests such as WAIS. They include the sections they include for good reasons. Of course intelligence testing is controversial and you can always argue with even the core of the concept. Personally I am disgusted by the idea of innate intelligence although I admit that there is some evidence for e.g. the heritability of g. But if you are going to talk about this, you should know that spatial reasoning is not considered the sole or privileged measure of intelligence by mainstream psychology.

>>9640940
>When I was administered the WAIS-IV there were sections involving words I had never heard of
Which if you had already memorized previously, then you would have ace'd them 100% regardless of your intelligence. That is the main problem right there. It is creating a situation where intelligence is not isolated.

It is true than language does sometimes have patterns within it, but it is also true that english is a mashup of languages that consistently rebels against its own rules.

It's not. It's an appeal to you, to read the papers the publish justifying the structure of new tests when they introduce them.

This test is a joke, I clicked through everything randomly without even looking as fast as I could and I got 106 which is supposed to be abovr average.

So monkey that would do the same has 106 IQ?

>>9641015
OK. What is your disability? Is it likely to keep you permanently unable to work?

>>9641039
Two things... first, it's presumably intended for potential mensa applicants. So I imagine it gets less accurate as you get below an SD or two of population mean.

Second, it's possible you got quite lucky. I just tried clicking through it while always choosing the first option, and it gave me the "IQ outside of range" error.

137 viq, 132 reasoning (so basically what the norway one measures) and 97 PIQ, so more like organisation and visual working memory. I have add though, so it's no surprise. This was from the WISC III i took at one point

>>9641055

>>9641075
Yeah, that sounds about right. I also had much lower scores in the processing subsection compared to verbal and reasoning, which the psychologist told me supports the diagnosis of ADHD. In my case the processing subscore was 108. It frustrates me though, how can my attention be "deficient" if it is the same as or even better than an average person's? Psychiatrists won't give me stimulants without reporting attention-related symptoms, but how can I have symptoms if my attention is essentially normal? It's only "deficient" compared to the much higher scores on other sections.
>tfw too smart to have ADHD according to doctors.

You must have taken that test as a child though, while I got mine as an adult last year. I think the newer generation of the adult version (WAIS-IV) of the test is supposed to be better and more accurate for people like us with such an imbalance in scores than the third generation.

>>9641097
How did you get diagnosed with that--Does it run in your family? Did you report delusions or hallucinations?

It's hard to put what I'm getting at into words, but my experience with mental health diagnosis is that the questions they ask you (about delusions and such) are so obvious that it would be hard to sound "crazy" enough to get diagnosed with something like that unless you wanted to. Like "Agree or disagree: I believe someone is trying to set my house on fire."

I think that IQ is a hoax (at least in EU). Those internet tests say nothing and "real" ones cost 50 euro to do and provide you with useless paper to raise your feel of self importance.
That's all. Mensa is just a group of bunch of students who think they are better than everyone else, all their meetings resort to some boring nerd talk and nerd games, you don't need high IQ to do it.

So far waste of time and money. I am pretty sure they are enough people who would get over 130 IQ but they don't even bother caring avout it, since getting PhD in science - that's what a real IQ test is.

>>9641107
>Those internet tests say nothing and "real" ones cost 50 euro to do and provide you with useless paper to raise your feel of self importance
Real ones cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars to license, and have to be administered by a trained examiner (likely a PhD psych or someone working on a PhD). You don't take those just to feel good (or bad) about yourself. You take it to find out if you have a diagnosable disability, a brain injury, etc. Most people here who have had a professional IQ test were probably flagged at school for a learning disability and tested as part of obtaining a diagnosis (like ADHD or Aspergers) and creating an "Individualized Education Plan." Others (including me) will have had it as part of psych testing related to some other mental health issue that emerged or became a problem later in life.

>Mensa is just a group of bunch of students who think they are better than everyone else, all their meetings resort to some boring nerd talk and nerd games, you don't need high IQ to do it.
Pretty much accurate. That's all any group is though. "Exclusive" societies are no different from clubs with open membership, in practice, except that the members are more likely to be people who excessively value exclusivity.

>getting PhD in science - that's what a real IQ test is.
Not at all. But I think what you mean is that getting a PhD is more useful (or perhaps a more significant demonstration of intelligence) than having a high IQ. PhD holders have a much higher IQ on average of course, but not everyone who has a high IQ can earn a PhD (for example, if you have a disability that effects executive function but not IQ).

>>9641133

That is literally an appeal to authority, I can think of no better example of an appeal to authority.

I don't mind having my mind changed on things if the argument presented is solid enough.

>>9641104
I reported hallucinations, because I was experiencing hallucinations. I thought that if I told the truth it'd make things better. Also, before I reported hallucinations, I was placed in involuntary hospitalization because I was acting strangely and bothering people in the dorm. I don't remember it too well, it was about 10 years ago when I was hospitalized for the first time. Now that I think about it, I spoke to a psychologist first, but I don't remember what exactly I said. I do remember that he had microwave pasta and I asked if I could sit on the floor. Also I had slept in and missed my classes earlier. I was asked to go see a psychologist, make an appointment to see one, but I didn't really see one until a few days later, and people were concerned about me. I can't say that I blame them, or that I feel that my life is absolutely terrible, or that things panned out for the worst, right now. I was hospitalized for the first time about 10 years ago, then I was hospitalized more than 5 but less than 10 sometimes involuntarily, sometimes voluntarily. I have an aunt who has schizophrenia.

I don't know about your experiences with mental health diagnosis. Maybe you have something like depression, because depression is a more common mental illness. I hope you're not implying that I lied about my symptoms in order to try to get diagnosed with schizophrenia on purpose. That's not what happened.

I understand why you read it as appeal to authority, but I'm not saying "they must be right because they are the authorities," I'm saying "when they invented the test they explained why they thought it was right in a way that satisfied their peers in the field."
I wish I could link you directly to a paper but I lost journal access when I dropped out of grad school.
My point is that there is a good reason for vocabulary (and whatever else) to be included, whether the two of us can independently imagine it or not. The reason is even good enough that, if we had the knowledge and the means, we should be able to reproduce it.

>>9641244
>I thought that if I told the truth it'd make things better.
That pretty much answers my question.

>I hope you're not implying that I lied about my symptoms in order to try to get diagnosed with schizophrenia on purpose. That's not what happened.
That's not what I meant at all, but that's why I said it's a bit hard to describe what I mean. I was wondering why you'd admit to having symptoms that would cause them to hospitalize you. Or why you believed your symptoms were symptoms, rather than reality. But in the context of your story it all makes sense, if you were exhibiting strange behaviors and worrying other people, I can see why you'd be inclined to want to get help.

I guess in a way I'm seeking reassurance that "you know it when you see it." When mental health folks use phrases like "hearing voices," my anxiety starts right up and I think "I 'hear' voices all the time, that's just what thinking is like for me!" But it sounds like your experience wasn't anything so easy to shrug off or explain away, even with your exceptionally high IQ.

>>9641286
I was involuntarily hospitalized the first time. When you're involuntarily hospitalized you don't control where you are at what time. I wasn't inclined to want help, others were inclined to see that I got help. When the psychologist or psychiatrist was asking me questions, I was inclined to cooperate, because I wanted to get out of there, and I thought that cooperating would get me out of there faster. That being said, I don't feel bad that it happened or that I'm in my current circumstances. Right now, I wouldn't even feel bad if I had to be hospitalized tomorrow, though I believe I won't have to be hospitalized soon.

>>9641251
>a good reason for vocabulary (and whatever else) to be included
Unironically I'm 99% sure its because they found people who graduated uni or that have phd's, were linked to a higher vocabulary. Also most likely found that in a younger age kids who did better in elementary classes had a higher vocab. They would do this as this is the most empirical and """"""objective""""" manner. The problem is that empirical data is still at the end of the day subjectively understood, and to base all thought on it without logical thought is foolhardy. Such as you could logically just think that of course those that enjoy learning and reading would naturally be more inclined to having a higher vocab (and higher grades), regardless of intelligence.

To understand if something is based off intelligence rather than simply being a by product of learning things you have to look into if the action by itself is based off intelligence. If you can simply memorize a basic x=y over and over, I would say that is memorization based and not isolating intelligence. If it were Greek or any other language that have very strict rules applied to it, then you may argue that you can understand every word so long as you know the rules. The problem being that English is extremely arbitrary in its spelling's and meanings due to the fact it steals and reuses so much of its language from other European words.

For a basic child level example lets use the prefix "in"; inhale, influx, and insane. It has literally at least 3 different meanings and these are basic common words (there could be even more meanings with different words for all I know). What decides the use of "in" as a prefix? Absolutely nothing. It is arbitrarily based off the meaning of each case by case word that comes afterwards. You would need to have already known what each root word means in order to even understand what the "in" is implying. That is English language """"""rules""""" in a nutshell.

>>9641249

"Wanting to get help" would mean "understanding how much is wrong with my thinking" and that hasn't been the case most of the time. Some of the time it has, though. It would also mean "acknowledging that something is wrong (with my thinking, mostly)" and I didn't want to do that most of the time, I'd rather just ignore it and hope it would get better. For some people, they just ignore it and it spontaneously improves. Not for me, mostly. There are also a lot of different factors that go into when my brain seems to fail, and I don't really want to talk about it right now.

>>9641331
>to base all thought on it without logical thought is foolhardy.
Of course, that is obvious. So obvious that even psychologists know that.

As for the rest of your post, if you haven't been administered one of these proprietary tests, please don't assume you know what they are like. I took mine over a year ago and I was in a pretty bad place mental health wise, so I don't remember as many specific exercises as I wish I did right now. But at the time, it was fascinating to observe what actually goes into the tests. It's far more nuanced than you seem to assume. The test is structured kind of like a choose-your-own-adventure novel, with many branching paths depending on previous answers and scores.

>>9641344
I see the distinction. Sorry, I didn't mean to press about something that is obviously so personal and difficult. I just went for it because you said AMA! But this has been more than enough already.

>So obvious that even psychologists know that.
You would honestly be very surprised, look at /sci/ a place full of uni students and grads. Yet I still see everyday the worship of empirical data without thought. If you look online, most explanations of iq testing comes with correlation equations. What are they correlating to? University graduates and higher grades in schooling. Putting trust in the "experts" and not thinking about things yourself is how meme shit like D.A.R.E. become reality.

I think that's just a quirk these particular tests have, and a common profile for most gifted people. Mine was 20 points higher than my performance IQ as well.

In a real IQ test I should be in the 90s, unless proven otherwise.

- not sure if drugs would affect score if you are not high on something while doing one

- desu no online test is 'precise', you do a real MENSA irl test to get an accurate result

desu IQ really does not matter. it's just an e-peen thing. like it does not measure how much you know, how you can improvise in a situation, understand something, etc. it can only be used as a general filter, ie.: if someone scores really low (or even refuses to take a test), then maybe you should not give them work that requires thinking.

It seems that many of /sci/ has IQ over 130. Did anyone apply to mensa? How is it?

Dylann Roof had a verbal IQ of 140. How many of you are dumber than a mass murderer? And how the fuck does a kid like that completely fall through the cracks? He was poor as fuck. There is no way his teachers didn't notice he was smarter than everyone else.

I have been less and less convinced that spatial IQ matters very much. First, test like in the OP actually have the highest Flynn effect, unlike what was perviously thought. People thought that this was a culturally unbiased test, but it isn't, it has the worst cultural bias.

Spatial reasoning is culturally influenced, which isn't hard to believe although I can see why people might mistakenly assume it isn't.

>>9643675
It is a Raven's inspired test. I am not convinced it is a good way to measure IQ.

Also, I have never seen any evidence this type of test is effective at testing high IQs. Using it to look at huge groups of people about the mean is one thing. Using it to say who should be in clubs like MENSA is quite another.

>>9643682

That is a very reasonable opinion that I find quite convincing. A lot of confusion in threads like these around IQ and IQ testing seems to stem from people who aren't sure whether they are talking about individuals or populations.

>>9643696
Agree here as well, logic is as much a part of verbal reasoning as it is a part of spatial reasoning. People associate "verbal" with "liberal arts" even though it is so much more than that. Math is a language.
