IQ test gives you a numerical result, it's not even relevant to any public perception of you. You're either too stupid since you can't really make accurate deductions or you're high.

Legitimate IQ tests only measure up to about +3.7 standard deviations.

Therefore, the title for "highest IQ in the world" is a tie between about 1.2 million people.

>> No.7267353

>>7267334
What. Where did I say that?
IQ test is a tool that some people/companies use to literally "make" decisions out of thin air without making people too anxious.
How governments tell us of ever-rising IQ among school while education goes to shit, how companies decline valid candidates drawing wherever results they want for their own tests because noone will ever be able to prove them wrong, how it is literally used as virtual currency among elite schools.

Previously they did. But now more and more companies are working around the new "liberal" things using same methods in opposite way.
Want to get barely-bachelor no-skill relative on a good pay with no work? IQ test.
Need to fill you "gender" and "color" quota? IQ test.
Its not that IQ as a measure is bad. It is just used literally for everything because you (as a "creator" of test) can claim any answers to be right and noone is ever going to prove otherwise. Just imagine - one of the most important qualities (yes, IQ is slowly getting to that spot) has no standards, no regulations, nothing. Free to use for any benefit in any way.

IQ tests are pretty spesific and they can only be made by following a certain structure. IQ tests basically give you problems where you have to detect a pattern to solve them, which is basically how logic works. You can't insert cultural or environmental related questions to seperate different types of people.

>> No.7267443

>>7267410
You don't separate people by their results. You can control tests freely to separate people as you see fit.
It is becoming more and more apparent now that even in my country - companies are abusing IQ more and more because it is a perfect way to get away from all the laws and regulations since neither IQ, IQ tests or their results are regulated and noone can catch them on being wrong or unfair.
Yes, it is not a big issue (quite rare even) but together with other aspect of (use of IQ in education) it is devastating.
I know people that would accept "iq too low" as a reason to be not given a job. They seriously think it is normal, more and more of them.

I agree with 3/4. Tyson did accomplish a fair bit and Sagan's opinion of him was high if you read any of his interviews- that doesn't come easy. Obviously he has a misguided cult worship and doesn't do a lot of current research, but he is pretty similar to sagan in that regard. He gets too much praise and too much hate, when imo he is just a reasonable scientist who is focusing much more on PR than research.

It's just obvious to anyone who has ever looked into the method of loci and mental calculation, though the book "Moonwalking with Einstein" gives plenty of evidence. He posted on memory training forums using conventional techniques but nowadaya he claims his synesthesia magically molds "the shapres of numbers" into their product or other such nonsense.

Here's something that I think makes IQ tests inaccurate for STEM people: it's well known and well documented that you could train for IQ tests like for any other test. The more IQ test type problems you do, the better you do on IQ tests. STEM people are often exposed to doing the greatest number of problems that use similar skills as IQ test problems (especially mathematicians and physicists), so I think our IQs are extremely inaccurate.
