(not that i have such a high IQ, but hey, you cant expect 20 questions without timelimit to tell you your IQ. also, the whole aspect of intelligence is rather dodgy, one definition of it being: 'that what an intelligence test measures' - seriously! ::))

but i agree its not a "real" IQ test with only 20 questions and no time limit

although my average for IQ tests is about 135-140 normally ;)
Title: Re: Iq test
Post by: Warcold on August 26, 2011, 12:20:06 PM: It does however have some time measurement built in, as I now got 154 with the same answers (I think).
(was wondering, so figured I'd check ;))

jesus, therapists with too much time on their hands: well, let's do another IQ test, because we dont know what else to do with you ???

what were they expecting? you suddenly dropping 20 points or something? ::)
(like that would matter much in those ranges...)

Post by: Bethor on August 26, 2011, 12:48:00 PM: So it did matter i went away to get some coffee during the test..
hmm
Title: Re: Iq test
Post by: Warcold on August 26, 2011, 12:59:42 PM: yeah, and 154 seems to be the max, as I cant get any higher (unless not all my answers are right)
Title: Re: Iq test
Post by: Bethor on August 26, 2011, 01:17:00 PM: I was looking at some of those i wasnt sure about. But i get the feeling you can to a certain level prepair for tests like this.
especially if you can find the answers somewhere or see if they are right or wrong per question. At least you'll know what to "look" for
and what they use.
So by practicing this you can to a certain level increase your score. Must have been researched by someone at some point.
Title: Re: Iq test
Post by: Warcold on August 26, 2011, 01:56:13 PM: yes, you can improve your score on IQ tests by practice. there are books on the market that allow you to do just that.
that's also why there is quite some debate about IQ tests. if you can improve them by practice, that would mean that you can improve your 'intelligence', while it is supposed to be a rather stable thing. also, like I already mentioned - there is still no 100% agreement on what intelligence is. so that is what that definition came from: intelligence is what intelligence tests measure. and why besides IQ other forms of intelligence are made up: emotional intelligence and social intelligence to name the two I know off, sure there are more.

but anyway, all that a (good) IQ test really tells you is how good you are in doing IQ tests as compared to other people, where 100 is the average score by definition (what results score 100 is adjusted every few years, because people are getting smarter (read: getting better in doing IQ tests)) and the standard deviation is 15 (so 68.2% of the population would score between 85 and 115).

more debate: culture, language, etc. (SPOILER ALERT - discussing answers of the test)

. Who is the prime minister of Holland? Dutch ppl would prolly(!) know. Asylum seekers would have more trouble. Are they less intelligent? How do ppl with dyslexia (like yourself) fare on questions where thorough reading is needed. Prolly worse. Does that mean they are less intelligent? Are ppl who cant read less intelligent than ppl who can? How do we measure this?
etc.
etc.
etc.

Title: Re: Iq test
Post by: Warcold on August 26, 2011, 02:09:14 PM: And a final fun fact before I stop spamming you: about 80% of the ppl (dont know the exact figure, but something like that), think they are smarter than average. Tough luck for about 40% of those ppl :D

so theoretically top 16% (for this test - IF the above applies - which it should for a proper test - which I doubt this is)
