Having fun with chess means you are mentally stable, if you aren't ....

Would achieving a pawn cube be considered mentally stable or not.

The main issue is that people use IQ to broadly. As stated above a person can be great at math and not understand another subject in the slightest. In theory there is nothing wrong with it but when you get people taking IQ tests that don't cover a vast majority of subjects it gets confusing. Along with that people may perform better or worse depending on mood, time of day, disabilities, mental health, etc.

I agree and disagree with this statement. I agree with it because people can be great at math and not understand another subject in the slightest, not denying that. But that doesn’t meant they have a low IQ, nor does it mean they have a high IQ. In addition to these, it doesn’t mean they have an average IQ. I would also like to state I don’t agree with the second half of your statement. That’s like saying somebody can be dumb one day, and smart the next, which if you think about it makes no sense whatsoever. That is like saying Issac Newton only discovered the three laws of motion because he had a good day, wasn’t mentally handicapped, and it was twelve in the afternoon. People have limits no doubt, but limits should define a person, nor should IQ. I think it’s an interesting thing. Because we measure something doesn’t mean it won’t change over time, but it doesn’t mean it will. Be your own person, and don’t let a number define you. Because at the end of the day, we’re all human, and nothing will ever change that

There's a miaapprehension here because IQ tests aren't subject based. They are never about general knowledge, If they are then they are not IQ tests,

What I meant was that the things I stated impacted your results, they won't change everything, but they will definitely impact it. Similar to how you will play better or worse during times of the day at chess. It's also not unreasonable to say that if someone is depressed they will have a different result than if they weren't. Perhaps I didn't explain clearly enough but I'm not saying you will get a score of 100 if you're happy and 1 if you're sad. The results will change, but that doesn't mean you are more or less intelligent at certain times of the day, there are just things that will impact your concentration, which will undoubtedly change your abilities even if minimally.

Oh? Would you explain, if this is true most of the IQ debate is completely flawed.

Insane how this went from a basic pawn cube meme to a philosophical discussion revolving around humanity's intelligence.
