This previous thread proved that this is a legit online IQ test.

>What did we learn about the psychtests.com IQ test?

1. The IQ test has a strong correlation with proctored IQ tests like WAIS-R and Stanford-Binet.

2. Raw IQ scores (SD 18.67) are converted to a standardized IQ score (SD 15) and then reported to users. This means that your reported score matches what you’d get on an SD 15 test like the WAIS-R (4.4 in Compliance with APA Standards PDF).

3. Because the test’s samples were gathered online, sampling bias was tightly controlled for (7.10 in Compliance with APA Standards PDF).

>What did we learn from anons in the previous thread that took the test?

1. A majority of anons reported receiving scores comparable to scores they had received on proctored IQ tests.

2. The corollary to the Dunning-Kruger Effect was once again confirmed as many test takers who scored highly on the test did not accept their scores and argued that they were artificially inflated, falsely presuming that what they found easy was also easy for those of lesser abilities.

>What does this mean for IQ testing?

1. While people interested in determining their IQ should always take a battery of IQ tests and compare their results across all tests to calculate a composite score, an online IQ test can be just as valid as one administered by a licensed psychologist so long as it is properly developed and standardized.

2. The “there are no valid online IQ tests” meme is just that- a meme.

I was one of the posters from the original thread who got a 147 score for crystallized intelligence. Since I think I got every question right, am I to conclude that 147 is the score ceiling for both the crystalized component and fluid component, and 155 is the ceiling for a composite score (namely, if you get 147 on both, your composite is 155)? I didn't purchase my score report, so I'm curious how the final score is broken down.

I believe the score ceiling is 155 as indicated. At least two anons in the previous thread claimed 155s.

I got a 147 as well and the detailed report indicated 147 for both crystallized and fluid intelligence, so I suspect the composite is calculated like an average, but I'm not entirely sure though.

Even I got 63/100 for the matrices subtest and in the 80s and 90s for a couple other subtests, so you didn't get everything right.

Here's my reply :

But they are still correlated, or so have many studies shown ; but it's less about achievements, than just my academic achievements. I nearly failed things like high school mathematics, I am deeply anxious, to the point of paranoia, and I can't seem to represent things in my head very well (I have no sense of orientation or ability for spatial reasoning). Certainly, you could say that my lack of spatial reasoning is the reason why I failed mathematics, but seeing as it's high school mathematics, you should still be able to do it with the support of a pen and paper. In my mind, seeing as IQ correlates (along with other factors, true, but it still strongly correlates) with academic success, and that I've had many troubles there, I simply don't believe I have an IQ of around 147. Not even 130. Maybe 120 if you're generous, but not that high.

That there is some correlation between intelligence and success in life doesn't mean that everyone with high IQ is guaranteed a successful life and is destined to be rich, famous, respected and loved.

In the last IQ General, it was proven that we don't need WAIS, Stanford-binet, Ravens etc. anymore. They've been made obsolete by Queensdom, and Psychtests AIM.

We have definitively shown that it doesn't take a proctored subtest with 15-20 subtly different questions to judge (say) spatial reasoning. We can do it just as accurately with just 2 multiple choice questions and get the same results.

I understand this. I understand that it doesn't guarantee success or prevent failures. I understand that it's not because IQ correlate with things that it excludes other causes also correlating with the same things. However, seeing as I failed things into which only intelligence factors in or plays a role, like mathematics, I doubt I have an IQ above 120. You don't have to know history, or have a wide vocabulary to understand mathematics, you just need to understand, and I can't really do that. Besides, don't you think it weird that I can't locate myself or follow a map, or represent and play with geometrical figures in my head in real life (lack of spatial reasoning), but that I would do well on a test which (kinda, not thoroughly, I'll grant you that, but a little still) is supposed to test spatial reasoning? If I could not have used a piece of paper to rewrite the mathematical problems algebraically I would not have been able to do them, at all.

This study seems to indicate that high levels of anxiety have a negative effect on academic performance but low levels actually have a slightly positive effect.

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090623090713.htm

This article suggests that moderate anxiety doesn't hurt your performance so much as it increases the amount of effort you have to put in to match the performance of those who aren't experiencing anxiety.

I got a 147. No idea which one(s) I messed up, probably one of the verbal ones. Other IQ tests I did online like various forms of Raven's matrices etc. tend to give put me around 145-150, and my GRE scores were I think 167/170, so that seems about right. It's too low for physics anyway.

Why do you say there's no hope for you? To discover something? To create a new theory? I'd say 140+ is enough. Certainly, it'd be better to have more, but you can still manage with work to do something and contribute, even if you're not Einstein. And remember fame and accomplishments =/= level of your intellect. Einstein didn't work alone, and didn't magically, out of nowhere pop a new theory. I wouldn't give up. Besides, you might be like Feynmann? Have relatively low verbal skills, but very high numerical skills. That's possible too.

I wish /sci/ wouldn't constantly pretend this place is full of retards when clearly the average IQ around here is pretty high (maybe as high as 125; it's hard to tell). I mean, you have one guy who is depressed because he "only" got 131, and another who thinks the average physics PhD is 160 (it's actually 130). You guys have been on the internet too long. It has skewed your perception of a "normal" versus high IQ, because people lie about their IQs so much. Also doesn't help that you're probably surrounded by smart people in everyday life, so your intuitions about smartness are anchored unrealistically high. 125 is pretty fucking high in real life. You can do a lot with that. (Average Harvard undergrad is 128.) Anything above 135 is going to get diminishing returns outside of academia. Even if you're "only" 115, fucking relax.

I've only started drinking pasteurised milk after I moved away from home. My parents used to work on a cow ranch. Now they have a deal with a rancher from a village close to them that sells them unprocessed milk. We would drink the milk raw (none of us in my family likes the taste of cooked milk).

No but I can drink the juice from an orange. Never tried to suck oranges from a slice of orange until nothing is left but pulp and peel?

The answer was Cathy, who was the only person who is likely to be free on that day without having worked a bunch of days already.

Well, from what I believe really high IQ can help you solve some really challenging problems. I think that for becoming a great researcher(and getting PhD) you need to see things that other people don't see, it's not really related to your IQ. Not many IMO winners become great mathematicians.

the question does not express or imply that they need to be "linked".

since it is a beverage and the test does not assume scientific knowlege, we should go by taste and basic composition. spirits taste similar and are similarly made. milkshakes and milk have similar ingredients and taste. juice is the only odd one out.

This is why on big boy IQ tests you have to give your reasoning on this kind of question.
Like "milk because it's white" might give you one point b/c milkshakes can be white, but "milkshake because it's thicker" might give you two points.

They probably just chose the most common highest scoring answer and made that correct. Juice and milkshake might both be worth full points. I don't know the methodology used for this question.

Taste is a poor choice as milkshakes can have a variable taste depending on their ingredients. Also gin and whiskey can and do not taste similar at all imo.

It can'r be 'types' because you can have types of juice and milkshakes (and all the others)

Composition in terms of ingredients gin, whiskey, and juice are made using plants. Milk Milkshake are obviously linked so cannot divide using that.

Composition in terms of preparation however only milkshakes require the mixing of ingredients to create it - at the level of a lay person. You can go to your fridge/cupboard and immediately pour a glass of all of them apart from a milkshake.

Moreover it is made up of one of the other entries in the list which none of the others are that immediately sets it apart from all of the others and you don't need to pair the other entries and then eliminate based on "not a member of a pair"

That's where I'd disagree with you.

>someone doesn't drink and is lactose intolerant
That, to me, is trying to apply a social context to an analytical question (part of the issue with IQ tests to begin with). It may standout to them for their personal social biases but the test/question is trying to measure logical reasoning. That;'s another reason why I'd pick preparation over taste. You only need to be familiar with the concept of a milkshake to know it is the only drink you have to make first. They are not disadvantaged in finding that answer. I would say that being able to divorce personal experience from the logical requirements of the question is part of the test as you can apply a bias to pretty much any question - this obviously has much bigger issues when applied to different culture groups globally etc etc.

>> No.9046632

>>9046606

>the test/question is trying to measure logical reasoning

Just to be more specific, the question is trying to measure inductive reasoning. Test takers can come up with a myriad of reasons why any one of the beverages is different from the other four, but you're not trying to determine which one is different; you're trying to determine which one is the most different. AKA if the test taker were to rank order the beverages in terms of how many differences they can list, they should choose the one with the most differences (or greatest differences). The question is about weighing probabilities which is why it throws so many people off. Most people don't intuitively understand probability.

>> No.9046710

>>9046632

again, you need a measure of difference, but none is given. you are left to come up with your own definition of how "different" these things are and how they compare. each element besides juice had some other analog in the list. whiskey-gin, milk-milkshake, juice-?

I'll explain more. You took a set of 5 things. Then you grouped them into pairs of somewhat similarity on a vague notion. Then you imagined there was no 6th thing to match with juice. This is a huge amount of more reasoning and "loose".

There are 5 objects. Relationship to each other in either consistency or preparation is much more important.

A similar example: Banana, Asparagus, Carrot, Celery, Salad

The salad pops out right away, but the weaker pattern is to pick banana. While viable, the relationship of salad compared to individual items is stronger than the one mostly not vegetables.

There are numerous flaws with how the legal system functions. First, no one thinks of the legal system as a logical system, which it is, or in terms of CS. Secondly, almost all of the legislators don't think about the economical aspects of law, where instituting a law changes people's behaviours, and they don't bother to look, when adopting new laws, or when judge makes judgments, about the risk of contradictions within the legal system. Problems pop out everywhere, so they multiply the rules without any logic behind that. Interpretation of law is completely memetic and people use arguments that suit them just to reach the conclusions they like most. The system could be much better, but still uses outdated ideas (which never should have existed in the first place). It's so bad, I'd have to write like a whole fucking book on why it's bad.

Yeah, my idea for a legal/law system is just computer science modified slightly. Functions have an added "Jurisdiction" aka entity that is in charge of it. It's also slightly based on how game engines work as well although abstractly.

For instance functions with jurisdiction police would exist at all times in a loop between you and another person. Function Don'tAssault (Person Person) with jurisdiction Police. When someone breaks the functions aka assaults someone when the police would interdict and error handle/etc it.

You could imagine the USA gov as a bunch of functions with criss crossed jursidictions, aka impeachment of president with jurisdiction, senate, etc.

It's interesting, but I thought it up when imagining how to interface government/law smoothly with AI. Too lazy to really do anything with it though except the concept. One problem is AI and other things are so powerful other things become semi pointless

There's also a problem with how you'd validate which functions are legitimate and which are not, so you'd still need a ''meta''legislator to determine that (the process through which a new function could be implemented). It's interesting, because I never thought of it in terms of policing, always in terms of judging, where the judge would exercise a function in which you input data (facts) and which outputs, depending on the set of facts, a judgment. Also, I'm not sure how you'd implement vague rules. Like reasonable standards and the likes.

>> No.9047009

>>9046987
Well, the primary benefit is in the resource allocation side of things (money). Tracing it all as it goes across the system and creating good visualizations. The idea was you allow each taxpayer to allocate a insignificant portion of their taxes (not specified by amount), to some part of the system so they would look at the visualization and have some idea of how the system worked.

You would essentially want to functionalize the entire society. Not just government, but every little thing. It's fucked up though but by doing so you would get realtime data and signals to be more responsive to supply/demands.

It would take a long to explain and I probably would not convey it accurately.

For criminal side you can visualize it as lines between you and every other person and property with functions in loops. If you break the loop, a crime is committed.

So a function is active with me and a random car I walk past. If I destroy/fuck with it and am not the owner of the property I have broken the function.

The underlying idea is to essentially recreate reality abstractly and run it similar to a game engine. Digitizing everything.

At this point things like crime become similar to cheats in a video game. The entire point was to interface more cleanly with AI, but as AI grows that becomes less important aside from the alignment of interests problem.

I just gave a simple example. Let's say you had a collection of functions similar to criminal law.

Assault
Sexual Assault
etc

A way to handle them is to describe a function.

"DoNotMurder"

The function DoNotMurder would describe not killing someone etc.

Now the parameters of DoNotMurder would be for instance (person, person)

DoNotMurder (Dave, Emily)
Dave DoNotMurder Emily ;; C++ style ordering

This would be a function. You can imagine it as a continually executed function inside a while loop. So for instance, Dave Do Not Murder Emily is always executed function. If This function is broken, for instance Dave Murders Emily. Something similar to an error exception is created. This error exception or with a different wording, would then be handled through another system, like Courts which you can create like any software.

The key point is "Jurisdiction" concept though. Instead of a computer executing these functions. People/AI are tasked with executing them. So the function above, DoNotMurder would have Jurisdiction of Police. Police would attempt their best to enforce that the said function executes correctly, aka no murder is committed. If a murder is committed, they would handle the error (arrest/persecute and send it up the chain).

The entire core idea though is imagine the software execution enforced by a vast diverse system of "Jurisdictions" which can be humans/AI/computers. Whereas software typically is done by very logical/deterministic/non individual CPUs.

The clearest similar system is how game engines work, and they even include humans in the process usually with some jurisdiction like GMs/support.

was this the plan? I agree the questions are retarded. The math series are braindead ones like +2,+3,+4 etc and the rotations/spatial all simple.

These are fairly difficult questions for your average person with an IQ of 100. You have to recognize your own bias: just because something is easy for you does not mean it's easy for everyone else. Unless if you're measuring a high IQ population, harder questions don't make an IQ test more accurate. IQ tests are all about sampling an average population and then calculating your percentile rank from the distribution of scores. People who score highly on these tests feel let down because they don't feel like they overcame anything difficult to achieve it, and it's because they didn't. But that doesn't invalidate their results.

Not being able to pick up on this suggests you're somewhere on the spectrum and only slightly above average intelligence. You can't relate to average people.

Why don't you guys just post your ACT scores or something, according to Triple Nine and that """Philosophers""" society a 34 (post-1995 or something) gets you something around 145. Beats me why the latest SATs don't count, though.

No it didn't.

Has nothing to do with high scorers thinking they should have scored lower. that is entirely your own made up idea with no research to back it up.

I wonder how many high scorers shelled out a few $ to see how smart they are without being sceptical of the validity, or who is making these threads advertising this site.

This was my thinking as well. But realistically you can cut it any way, there are just too many ways to categorize them.

It seems like many people chose milkshake because choosing juice would have been too easy of an answer.

issokay anon, who cares what a test says if you can do the work?
Some of these questions (esp the math-based ones) are easier if you've gotten further along in math, since you already have an idea what to look for.

OP here, not a shill for the site. I made both threads to disprove that the myth that there are no valid online IQ tests. The Denmark and Norway IQ tests are legit as well, although they measure different aspects of intelligence.

The only issue I'll take with anyone who thinks this test is bullshit is that almost none have been able to or have been willing to critique the statistical analysis indicating it's legit. The best argument I've seen put forward was that sampling bias (due to it being online) made the results invalid, but we now know they controlled for that. Arguing that the questions are too easy or that the test gives high scores to increase sales are entirely irrelevant in the face of its statistical validity and it complying with APA guidelines.

They're not as culturally biased due to just being Raven's progressive matrices tests but they don't measure verbal IQ.

No, it just means your analytical/abstract reasoning is much higher than your verbal reasoning. Neither of the Scandinavian ones measure verbal but psychtests.com does.

Speed isn't important when measuring an average population if the questions are sufficiently difficult. If anything test makers should throw out any tests from sampling that aren't completed within a set timeframe, like 30-90 minutes. Other than that it shouldn't matter.

Measuring speed would be useful for measuring extremely high IQ populations though.

How the fuck do you manage that, i got 140 even though i skipped the entire english glossary test.

English isnt my native language, and i rarely read english book, i dont see how it affects how intelligent i am. Im probably like top 50% in english, but top 99% in Norwegian and german.
