You took AP Statistics in elementary school?
If you were 78 years old, as you claimed, you wouldn't know about AP classes.
(Also you wouldn't have said your 10 year old self scored a certain score on a website.)
hi
hahahaha lmao this was hilarious.
Hopefully a step towards the refutation of the complete garbage IQ perceived link with intelligence is.
How do i get to 1k rating
1st up: as Steven Hawkings once said: "I don't know. Losers brag about their IQ".
Also: IQ doesn't connect to chess. Someone can be a chess genius while only having average IQ, while someone gifted may be only average.

I believe the issue is that some people believe IQ tests measure "intelligence" - as if it were a single, cohesive unit. They then conclude that since we need to think while playing chess, we are therfore using this singular "intelligence" of ours.
Seems logical enough.
But that doesn't align with what we know of how the brain works. Intelligence is a complex, multifaceted process, that changes depending on the nature of the activity involved.
Most tasks involve a complicated network of activity, spanning across different regions of the brain. And this brain activity can change quite drastically, from task to task.
To use an IQ-relevant analogy:
IQ tests are to chess, as fishing is to carpentry.
Both activities involve their own manners of thinking, of problem-solving, of visuo-spatial awareness and pattern recognition ... But there are also considerable differences. And the differences should be enough to invalidate IQ tests as a reliable comparison ...
I’m not sure that any of the so-called IQ tests are designed to produce that one number. Rather, they are designed to measure a range of the skills and aptitudes that constitute something we might call intelligence. The single score was created by Eugenicists and kept alive because psychologists know that the public are like hungry dogs who need a bone.
Wechsler’s original test included ten scores. Of course, these were combined to create the one number that the public craved, but as a clinical instrument (Wechsler’s primary focus), this was the least important number.
IQ was originally designed to measure the intelligence of some, as many may call it, "school subjects". However, after a while, the original creator realized that it couldn't measure creativity, emotional intelligence, etc., so they updated the IQ measuring system so that it could include some of those.
Also he is unlikely to reveal it even if he knows because nobody would voluntarily share their IQ, no matter if it was sky-high, average, or below average.

Creativity is properly measured by the productivity and the amount of new things the particular individual has actually provided the society with. Not by some stupid abstract test which middle school dropouts use as a cope.

Although the concept of IQ as such was invented by American racists (Google Eugenics), many current intelligence tests, such as the Wechsler, are efforts to return to Alfred Binet’s original purpose.
