The Lumosity BPT is capable of assigning you a "brain type" and is fairly accurate at calculating your IQ. I'm aware that /sci/ despises IQ tests, but this one seems fairly accurate, especially considering it tests for intellectual ability in several unique areas.

Nope, Just a few butthurt low IQ people.

I personally don't think IQ is an accurate measure of intelligence but it is highly indicative. I have a higher IQ than richard feynman and charles darwins estimated IQ yet I don't think I am smarter than either. If you have a high IQ its likely that you're intelligent but its not set in stone. There are a ridiculous number of high IQ people who are useless.

I'm guessing his point is that even though he has a sub-average IQ, he's still getting a very respectable degree.

Also keep in mind that there are only like twenty reputable universities in Canada anyways. So when he says 'top ten', for Canada that's saying 'A university that isn't a complete shit-hole'

I honestly believe that work ethic and interest is more important than intelligence when it comes to acquiring new knowledge. As I see it, there are four types of people.

In order who is most likely to succeed:

a) People with high intelligence and good work ethics.
b) People with average/low intelligence and good work ethics
c) People with high intelligence and bad work ethics.
d) People with average/low intelligence and bad work ethics.

I just wish there was some sort of research done about this subject.

It would be pretty difficult to make a study with definitive results. How exactly do you measure good work ethics and what qualifies as studying?

I suppose you could have two groups of high (120+) IQ, and two groups of low/average IQ (90-110 range), and have one group for each IQ group study material for as long as they want, and the other is limited to a certain time frame.

Luminosity seems to be, most likely, another website to earn money workin with people egocentric nature, you're pretty much paying to feel smart.
Are quite a lot of those these days, for example http://www.iqelite.com it's called a 'social network for smart people', obviously you have to pass a shitty iq test to register and once you pass it -everybody does- it comes the time to pay for the membership.
It's a funny test, though...

from how you describe it, iqelite sounds like a refuge for the people who were losers in highschool that rejected facebook rather than be faced with the prospect of only having 10 friends, 4 of which would be family members.

then they find a website that claims to be for "smart people" (socially awkward people) and they go nuts for it, all so that they can feel exclusive and in-demand, just like the popular kids they wish they were back when stupid shit like sports and how well you dressed mattered.

how do i know this?
i am a member of iqelite. don't bother taking the IQ test you losers are too stupid to join.

>for all hose claiming bullshit on lumosity

You do see how you needed to pay for months to advance in the BPI score? I did the actual Mensa IQ test, and aced it (max was 145, with sigma 15) in 60% of the time. This means I have well beyond the 99.7% percentile in all categories (memory, math, spatial thinking, language, and whatnot), yet I didn't score close as much on the Luminosity test. The reality is, the IQ is set after the early childhood years, and doesn't change at all after 16. So any "work" you think you are doing on your IQ is actually delusion, and Luminosity is fraud. Take the actual IQ test and see for yourself.

IQ is a legitimate indicator, and it's used by psychiatrists for diagnostics, by military and economy for recruitment.

[Anonymous No.5384892]

>>5384854

To this day there doesn't exist a definition as to what intelligence really is. You don't know, the psychiatrist that gave you the test doesn't know, his college professors don't know. Not a goddamn soul on this earth knows. Yet this test measures that which clearly isn't defined. Now, you could validate the results of that test by stating that pattern recognition = intelligence and that is true but only because you defined intelligence that way and not because it actually is that way.
