Legin's IQ test - split from funny jpg's thread

legintown · 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

Posting that on a internet forum without being asked is doing some serious -EQ to you :P

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.

legintown · April 11, 2008, 12:29:07 AM

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.

OMG PALMAR'S MONKEY IS SMARTER THAN MY MONKEY!

Gaeios(Graxlos) · April 11, 2008, 01:01:53 PM

I translated the hard stuff for him!

Palmar · April 11, 2008, 01:06:56 PM

you translated like... 3 words :D

EDIT: 4 words, I read the IRC log.

Starbrow · April 11, 2008, 02:06:33 PM

Beat Grax by one, hah!

Gaeios(Graxlos) · April 11, 2008, 02:07:15 PM

I am getting old sadly. I failed so bad on the memory part.

Palmar · April 11, 2008, 02:13:26 PM

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.

Palmar · April 11, 2008, 03:55:46 PM

LOL STONGR TROLL SMASH STUFF HAS IQ > 100
