Don't most people on 4chan do that?

Even taking an IQ test reveals to me that you're not the brightest bulb in the bunch--anyone who wastes their time taking things like that just isn't very sharp.

Yes, IQ doesn't matter.

But in this case, aren't you a little biased to be saying that, given what you just received?

But don't feel so bad about 94. SOMEONE has to be a little below average. Otherwise, what the fuck is an average good for?

[Anonymous No.6393912]

This test is retarded. The questions consist for the most part on being able to read the English language and to make additions. I even answered wrong on some really stupid questions but I still got "Exceptional!".
I can see how it can appeal stupid people who want to feel intelligent as a change.

[Anonymous No.6393914]

The questions on this test seem a bit easy to me. A lot of them just involved counting and addition. Surely almost everyone in the world is capable of these things?

127. know i answered two of the easiest questions wrong becasue watching tv, and no back button. Several questions could be interpreted different ways...

[Anonymous No.6393968]

>>6393964

For example a question about if you turn a clock upside down at a quarter till one, will the "long hand" be pointing right.

Obviously I know it will be on the right half 'if' the clock was facing me and it was rotated upside down... It also doesn't tell you if the clock is facing towards you or away from you. And it doesn't tell you if the clock was rotated upside down or 'flipped' upside down.

It also doesn't stipulate if it means the right 'side', or pointing exactly towards the right.

How is someone supposed to interpret this?

[Anonymous No.6393991]

>>6393968
Don't you know silly? People with high IQ must be able to read the mind of the person who wrote the question and answers, or at least be able to backward engineer the correct answer from the page's code. Otherwise you're a pleb and got the score you deserve.

[Anonymous No.6394010]

Some of the questions can be taken many different ways

>most of the time

what the fuck is that even there for. also this really bothers me, did they mean to say digits not fingers? i marked false, even tho my entire hand will fit inside my shoe, my shoe is not made to 'fit' my fingers.

theres a couple more that are even more poorly written than that. these 3 words (using AND) can be combined with these 3 words. thats just a horrifucking terribad way to pose the problem.

>people here bragging about scores on this thing

It's some flash quiz made up by some guy who was bored one day. Obviously no serious thought went into it.

IQ quizzes online are only there to do one thing: jerk off the user with a high score so that they "Share your scores with your friends!", and dickheads like >>6393941 do.

There's a reason why there's 8 categories above the "average" and only 2 below, and that's because nobody wants to visit a website that insults them

On the internet everyone has an "IQ of 140", and that's because you're all idiots.

I don't believe it is accurate. I chose not to take it so my opinion on its accuracy is still valid and not a result of cognitive dissonance.

[Anonymous No.6395235]

>>6395212
If you chose not to take it, then you don't even know the questions asked and how much validity they could have towards expressing a person's IQ, in whatever way said questions are interpreted. You cannot form a more valid opinion than mine in this situation due to different circumstances. There is no higher ground here.

I was tested for IQ years ago and scored a 135. According to my 139 score on this, it should be fairly accurate. However, the result could simply be made up and I coincidentally scored a similar value in both tests, yet that doesn't mean it accurately calculates a person's IQ.

A test, on the internet, with no trustworthy source whatsoever on how it was determined. It doesn't matter what IQ I personally got or not. Only idiots wouldn't be skeptical towards such a test.

Even at the end of the test, it says "Don't be fooled by the humor, this is real." Basically, a "believe us guise, this real," with little decorations around it.

I'll go and take an IQ test on Facebook now, on one of those tests anyone can create. If I score less than 160 and disregard it as false, then I am simply disregarding it because I "didn't do well." Sure, buddy.

The higher ground is obviously not wasting your time taking an obviously inaccurate test (which you can figure out before even taking the test if your IQ is anywhere above 90).

The real IQ test is not taking the IQ test.

Thinking your past result of 135 is any use at all today is retarded.

When I was 8 I was retarded enough to take an online IQ test and get 160+.

I am now less retarded so I refuse to take online IQ tests.

It is that simple.

IQ isn't really cared about in cognitive neuroscience and so-on. You have things like neuroplasticity, phenotypic expression, euspecialization (for example, between men and women where women = better social skills, men = better hunters, not absolutely but on average) and so-on.

Its relegated to psychologists and other shit sciences really, nobody who studies human evolution has a simplistic view of mental processes where guessing at pictures = evolutionary adaptation.

[Anonymous No.6395797]

Some of the questions were ambiguous. For example the clock one...you could rotate it 180 deg or flip it down to turn it upside down and get different answers. I got 142 regardless but I have a feeling that isn't right.

[Anonymous No.6395814]

And yet people on /sci/ are scoring sub-140. It is therefore obviously a measure of relative intelligence between individuals that can easily hit 140+ and those that can only hit around 100, you fucking idiot.

This had me thinking.

When you think about the IQ curve I notice these things

People on the Lower end of IQ tend to spend a lot of hours learning things
People towards the upper middle range don't have to spend a lot of time, they just kind of get things
And then People on the upper most range spend a shit ton of hours. Way more than the IQs lower than them. But they also are spending that time covering vastly more material

IQ does matter.
The real IQ tests last for hours, testing your reaction speed, motor speed, long/short term memory, logic, concentration ect ect.

Such tests cannot be done online. The closest one I've ever found was this
http://www.cambridgebrainsciences.com/challenge/introduction

It does not show your IQ, but ranks your performance from each task with other people, then you can see if you're average or above.
