Should there be an IQ test to get into University?

Anyone under 120 shouldn't bother.

You'd be excluding people who were willing to put the time and effort in to keep up, and it's not like having a high IQ prevents people from being lazy assholes.

I've got a better idea:

Let everyone who can afford the time and money in, and then use a sort of grading system (let's call them grades) to determine who stays or not?

And if you're nearly a moron, like many jocks and at least one member of the Bush family, then you would have to possess a proven affiliation to a sports or political faction to continue...

There already is the SAT, which is basically a glorified IQ test (minus spacial reasoning). However, there are many shitty colleges that don't really do much for you (and aren't respected) that will accept ~95% of applicants, and I would like to see some kind of warning to high schoolers. Same thing for certain majors that are easy but don't help you.

>>8288560
Unless your school has insane grade inflation or you are doing a dog shit easy major like psychology or english 3.50 is pretty good. Granted my example was a flagship public school with crazy grade deflation (especially for STEM), but my graduating class (in my major) had a mean gpa below 3.0.

>>8288635
Missed that you have a chemistry major. Depends on your school. If you go to Harvard, then yeah, 3.50 is below average (super duper grade inflation). If you go to a school with grade deflation (many flagship public schools, and some top tech schools (I think MIT, Caltech, etc. have really bad grade deflation too), then 3.50 isn't bad at all.

Shouldn't this be the opposite?
A lot of degrees are just pieces of paper that say you're willing to work in a terrible oppressive environment for at least 4 years
Why should we exclude those with lower IQs when those are the people who would need specialized education?
Wouldn't those with higher IQs not need as much education?

Instead of IQ they should measure discipline/willpower. Anyone with a high school diploma can get a degree in STEM with enough discipline.

That would filter out a lot of

Does it even matter what your IQ is as an adult? Or is it a "my kid has potential" thing?

>> No.8291287

An IQ test just tests the brain on how well it can respond to quick puzzles however shows no similarities on how well someone is able to learn or use long term memory to solve a problem or how determined one person may be to succeed by putting in alot of time and effort.

IQ does not matter.

If you score even around 110 in a "blind" IQ test (no practicing and without puzzle solving / memorization hobby) you are good to go for pretty much any higher education. Its merely an indicator that you are capable of logical thinking and not a complete retard. Rest is up to dedication and hard work.
