This is not an IQ test lmfao this is an internet knockoff. Are you serious? you believe internet iq tests? if they were accurate well man I'm 190 so... what does that make me?

 

"Ohh, All online IQ tests are bs." Don't be shallow. It's like saying all online chess rating is a knockoff. Also if you're as smart as you think you are, why are you only rated 1500 btw.

 

 

"I was the one who initially posted this IQ test on here. Details are below:

This one's scientifically validated and converts your score into 15SD, same as WAIS-R. It was designed by Ilona Jerabek, a psychometrician who did her postdoctorate at McGill University, and a bunch of other professional statisticians, psychologists, and AI researchers. The test and score are free but you can pay $7 for a detailed report.

SUMMARY STATISTICS

https://testyourself.psychtests.com/tests/showpdf.php?name=classical_iq_lite/psychtests/classical_iq_lite.pdf

Number of Subjects: 15,884

Overall Cronbach’s Alpha: 0.91 (57 items)

Mean = 109.59

Standard Deviation = 18.67

Standard IQ Tests Compared to Psychtests’ Classical IQ Test

Cattell – Pearson’s r(56) = .67, p < .001

Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale — Pearson’s r(109) = .70, p < .001

Raven’s Progressive Matrices — Pearson’s r(55) = .63, p < .001

Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS – R) — Pearson’s r(68) = .72, p < .001"

 

If you look at my profile I have played 12 games and haven't lost a single one of them. Internet chess rating is not accurate either, this is well known. Typically there's an inflation gradient of about 300 points. This is why a 1200 FIDE will be a 15-1600 on chess.com. However the rating is usually measurable to an extent and averages about 300 points inflation. Internet IQ tests are not. The standard for IQ tests is the Mensa IQ test, which you can take only once and will accurately measure your IQ from a society full of smart people. A internet test does not do this, and will not do this because of the fact that their averages are derived from people who can retake the test over and over to obtain a higher score. The math problems in the test are not an accurate representation of common ability. Most internet IQ tests use geometry problems because it is harder for the layman to input that into a calculator. This does not accurately quantify intelligence. Someone who is not as proficient at geometry will score lower and thus the problem persists that you are not accurately tested. Also there's a slight problem of cherry picking in the tests to make you feel better.

Don't take it from me though take it from a guy with a Ph.D in neuroscience from the guardian:

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/nov/29/iq-tests-online-are-they-valid

 

I quote: "And be wary of anyone who publicly shows off about their scores on such tests. An intelligent person would do no such thing."

 

For starters, I’m not boasting about my IQ. OP asked what people with higher IQ do. I provided my online IQ score for credibility. That’s it.

Secondly, I agree online scores, whether in chess or intelligence, won’t be an accurate reflection of real-life scores. BUT, the test I provided correlates enough (Coefficients between 0.70 and 1.0 indicate a strong positive correlation and the p < 0.001 indicates that there's less than 1/1000 chance that the correlation is a false positive). So it’s a GREAT start.

Also just because Mensa is a cult doesn’t mean it’s the ONLY reliable iq test. There are other types that are as reliable. This was based on WAIS-R.

Also your ave. opponent’s rating is only 1277, so you’re not worth my time.

Honestly I've played 10 blitz games from the starting 800 rating, I don't see how my average opponent rating makes any difference. I don't play here I play on other sites due to the lag here. I agree my rating here is bad I really don't care.

It is more than clear that the principal hobby of most people contributing here is wasting time on social media. I'll bet most of you are on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, too.

IQ tests are flawed; they don't measure a person's interpersonal (social) skills, which are a significant portion of one's intelligence.

One can have great pattern recognition and logical problem-solving abilities, but be an absolute dunce when it comes to handling themselves in a social environment (also known as: your average chess nerd tongue.png).

I actually don't have any of those. I have snapchat because my co-workers have a group chat and I wanna see if anyone's dissing me and such. I came on the forums out of curiosity.

Nope. None of them

There is a strong correlation between IQ and mathematical ability. Yahoo previously had a link to the following quiz:

Only 15% Of Adults Can Pass 8th Grade Math. Can You?

I don´t know what my IQ is. I like writing, so a wrote a novel, which won a prize in 2015 in Seville, Spain. My second novel won a prize here in Uruguay. I wouldn´t call it a hobby, but neither a job, as I don´t get money for it on a regular basis.

congrandolorations that's really amazing a novel seems rewarding how does one go about doing that sort of hobby i don't facebook instagram or twitter  is enough given that iq tests are so biased as to be meaningless fluid intelligence is working memory and it's as simple as that when you exercise this muscle it's strong and you're number is higher than when you aren't congrandulations again on those storytellings that fascinating how can i read your tales? thx

Unfortunately, they have only been published in Spanish so far

i don't think about iq. i like to watch.

Your online IQ score is meaningless. You really believe that online crap? IQ tests should be administered by a psychologist.

 

Who's this soy trying to refute Ilona Jerabek, a psychometrician who did her postdoctorate at McGill University, and a bunch of other professional statisticians', psychologists', and AI researchers' statistics tha basically proves it correlates enough to real scores? Oh right another shallow 1400 weakling who needs a professional psychologist to administer his ass-wiping.

Based on the recent posts on the forums, the two questions this thread is about are completely unrelated.

My opinion - Chess & boxing.

I think there is similarities in both.
Both improve your ability to think fast and make the right decision. Boxing 🥊 just like chess ♟one mistake can cost you loss.
jk_2017

If you had a very high IQ, you would know the answer already. If you don't have high IQ, you are not supposed to participate in sports for high IQ people anyway. So your question is invalid. fish.png
