Title: Legin's IQ test - split from funny jpg's thread
Post by: legintown on April 10, 2008, 11:13:13 pm
Although this picture isnt funny as such, I thought that I would post it anyway. To translate what it says: You scored higher than 95% of the population  ;D

Sorry I just had to. Guess I should call mensa :P

Sadly such tests are so horribly biased. linguistic and maths questions are quite based on your knowledge rather than your intelligence.

Well tbh I wouldn't call that test biased: I think I know what you mean, bacause I could see different patterns when choosing objects for example. But then it rly comes down to what you mean by intelligence and how you meassure it...

Yay! Without understanding what that moonspeak test wanted me to do (apart from the patterns), I scored 100.

So a monkey hitting random keys == IQ 100! Go Go MonkeyGoza!

It's a dumb, skewed retarded test.

Scoring high on that doesn't mean anything at all.

And just to iterate, I took the test, IN DANISH WHICH I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND.

I didn't cheat, I did ask graxlos what gennemsnitt, retskaffen, ophavsret and fortrydelig meant, but the only one that really helped me was retskaffen.

Sorry legin, it's a dumb test, and should be completely disregarded. It says nothing, nothing at all about one's intelligence, IQ or anything, it's just another pop-internet-self-confidence-boosting-fake-IQ-test.

I just realized that you were supposed to put the number in reverse in the second part.

Not understanding the instructions ftl.

This is Mensa's brainteaser for this week:
http://www.mensa.org.uk/cgi-bin/item.cgi?id=725&u=pg_dtl_art_news&m=pg_hdr_art

And this is an easy one.

Basically, as I was explaining on vent last night, generally the people that seek IQ tests, or who are even on the Internet, generally have an IQ over 100.

But yes, tests have to be quite carefully constructed so that they don't rely on linguistic or mathematical prowess. The idea is that most tests could be completed by anyone over the age of 12 (or anyone with rudimentary unstanding of language).

In fact, we tend to be sharper when we are younger. I guess something about living life dulls our intellect over the years.

(I've dropped 10 points or so in the last 10 years).

You can get some 'proper' (IQ is always going to be a bit objective...) tests sent to you in the post, and then a proper score returned to you. If you are really interested, I suggest you try one.

(I looked for some links online, but I can't find any, apart from the Mensa one... Just hundreds of free, online, shitty tests :)

Oh, and yes, undoubtedly everyone in IE has an IQ over 100. We've had some people below 100 over the years, but atm I think we're all quite comfortably in the top few percentile.

I took a look at the mensa brain teasers and again, your language skills weighs in quite alot, so if you don't know the english language that well, then you can only turn out to be an idiot. But then one might argue that if you can't master the english language then you're a retard ^^

Well, I wouldn't say they require awesome language skills, but you certainly have to understand the language the problems are set in.

Like with most things in this world, once you understand something, you're most of the way towards conquering.

And knowledge is required to understand!

guys with low scores don't be sad. IQ test is invented as a predictive test for high school grades and still most of the tests only corralate with it. But if you are under 70 it means laws won't hold for you and if you are under 60 you can't live without help. and if you are over 120(or 25 not sure) your creativity decreases as IQ increases.YOU LOSE arch.

Guess the tests I've taken are all wrong then, belive I scored 139 both times. However, I'm quite creative :)

That could be true, I'm not very creative :(
