My view on IQ tests?

They measure just one thing: Your ability to score well on IQ tests.

Is that ability actually correlated with intelligence? Of course there's a positive correlation. Smart people are going to score better on IQ tests than dumb people. No question of that.

But it's silly to pretend that intelligence can be represented by a number. Intelligence isn't a number line with a rock at one end and with Albert Einstein and Steven Hawking at the other.

Intelligence is multi-polar and multi-factorial. I've known some highly intelligent people who not only were very mediocre chess players but who showed no improvement no matter how hard they worked at it. Intelligence has facets facing in various directions, including intuition, mathematical insight, memory, the ability to form analogies and internal models, pattern recognition, deduction and induction, and so on.

Trying to put a number to that is fatuous.

My iqs like 6-7 milloin

Basically what i said, just that you worded it a lot better

Look wat i got

You should probably attempt to give examples of people with all-round highq to be in context with your own post, rather than a couple of passable mathematicians. Why does being good at maths seem to mean that someone's amazingly intelligent? You gave a good example to support what you said, really.

Come on, think of an example of someone, known to us all, who's really intelligent, rather than a couple of prestige-dummies that everyone seems to think are clever, who may even be clever ... but definitely not highly intelligent.

ill join neither of ur trolls club

I don't hve one so join mine!!!!

This is not related to chess clubs.

Report the trolls and don't reply to them, don't even downvote them. They have no room here and should not be paid attention to.

I think average IQ is about 105 since there will be people taking the test whose performance will be worsened due to illness. Genius level is 170 plus.

I don't see the problem with putting a number to IQ. It's just an approximate measurement of how someone performed on a particular day in a particular test. No point taking it too seriously but it's a naturally human thing to want to measure mental capabilities of people to facilitate assigning work maybe if they join the army. It's equally natural to discuss it sometimes. Why try to prevent it? Equality issues?

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.

Intellect has nothing to do with insanity in my opinion, like rn I am insane all the time, but still smart
