Obviously this hasn't been your personal experience... and that is fine, no ones giving prizes or looking for them here. Also, no one is saying studying has zero merit, just that it has a different place and meaning in our lives, because it is just a basic fact that what is effortless to some may well be impossible to others. Personally I didn't study in any meaningful way throughout my time in college yet achieved a 4.0 GPA effortlessly, so if anyone was lazy in my educational past it was the schools for the level of challenge they offered and provided.

@@aryazeref But my point is you CAN train for the IQ test and improve your score by solving similar practice problems. You can improve your sense of logic!

@@aryazeref - There is no in built logic as you said, logic is learned. If you spend a good amount of your time learning mathematics and calculating only by your brain, you will naturally score higher in math problems of the IQ test. So you can take all the cognitive capacities that an IQ test measure and you can work on them to become better over time, without passing one IQ test. Once you learned enough, you can pass the test and i will guaranty that you will score much higher than average. I have done it previously to flex with my schoolmates while ago, our teacher wanted to test our IQ so she told us that she called a psychologist to do an official test - i live in Europe, maybe u don't do that in America -, so i had one week to "hack" IQ test. I proceeded to search about IQ test and what they measure, then i started, for the entire week, training all cognitive capacities that an IQ measure - like math, pattern recognition ... The day come and we were passing the test one by one and timed by the psychologist - before the test, the psychologist spoke to us to see if we had any problems that could interfere with the IQ test. Guess what, i scored up 147 ! "Exceptionally high intellect" as the psychologist said, all my class was really surprised and for a reason, i was pretty bad in school - focus problem. I didn't consider myself as a Genius, i tried another IQ test a while ago and i lost 25 points relative to the my first IQ test and i think the reason is that i no longer actively develop the various cognitive abilities as i did before, this show how one can learn and score better at IQ tests even if its his first time. tldr : Through learning, one can score better at IQ tests

The best way to test intelligence without being affected by knowledge is to just test your working memory

That’s the point, there are multiple correct answers and some are more difficult to construct

Ofc. People who score high on these tests just are good at taking them. Or just good at finding patterns. Geniuses are people who try 10000 different ideas(fail to they make it) Like Elon Musk and the owner of Ford

i have to agree, got 30/33 first try and you can easily see a lot of it is mathematical based. it would be interesting to see how mathematics education reflects outcomes of the test.

Intelligence Quotient testing would be a difficult task for Shakespeare, but a simple one for Einstein or Aristotle. Being smart and being intelligent aren't the same thing, and there's no reason for anyone to WANT to be more intelligent than they currently are. While I've always held that Einstein lied to the public with his famous fish statement, his thoughts meant well. The deeper meaning of it was simply that everyone is SMART when it comes to SOMETHING, however the lie is that anyone is a fish in their own water. Most people couldn't achieve greatness in their own 'water' or field if their life depended upon it.

I completely agree with this. An IQ test doesn’t measure anything other than your ability to perform well under test conditions. It only looks at your answer, not your internal processing or how your brain actually works. I know personally of so many gifted individuals with great aptitude for problem solving but struggle to work under such conditions, and would most likely score low on a test. On the other hand, I know many Mensa members with supposedly high IQs, yet lack any form of common sense or maturity whatsoever. All in all, human intelligence is fluid, multi-faceted and far too complex to be reduced down to a sheet of paper and a couple of hours, which in itself only analyses one aspect of cognitive development. As a wise man once said, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

@@FinalStooge No reason for anyone to want to be more intelligent than they currently are!? What are you smoking? There is at least one reason, such as being more able to solve one's own problems. Plenty of people I've met wish they were more intelligent, to have better achievements in lives and to understand everything better.

You have noticed it too. Just couple days ago I replied to a guy's answer on a Q&A site where, instead of answering the actual question, he basically attacked and criticized the simple question which only asked a location of a certain saying in a certain book. And he used such a faulty logic that I coudn't believe he was capable of writing.

IQ stands for intelligence Quotient. IQ test measure someone's potential to be intelligent, they do not contain hard or complex math questions (that is learned intelligence); The main attributes IQ tests are meant to test are problem solving, memory, ability to perceive information and critical thinking's. Those attributes are what govern ones ability to improve overall intelligence. Their are other forms of intelligence tests used in modern psychology and science the most important 2 are IQ and EIQ (emotional intelligence) as they govern a humans ability to function and comprehend the world around him/her! In short IQ tests measure how well someone can turn information into knowledge (aka how quickly someone can lean)

Dr Jordan Peterson describes it quite nicely. You can create a test and give it to a bunch of different people (it doesn't matter the content) then make another test with different content. Make 100 different tests and you will find certain people generally perform better than others. You can then take out the questions that require previous knowledge and that basically gives you a test that tests how well you can obtain knowledge from the question its self. This IQ test sees how well you can turn information into knowledge. And unfortunately while you can learn how to be better at the IQ test, your overal IQ (how quickly you learn) doesn't generally change, but can predict alot about your social status and success.

This looks like your typical abstract reasoning test, nothing to do with maths, but yes its basically pattern recognition. The interesting thing is people who are good at this are typically fast learners, good at strategic thinking and they are also good at making sense from very little information, so inductive reasoning capability. People with high abstract reasoning can usually solve very complex and ambiguous problems. Whether this is the primary indicator of intelligence though is up for debate, but what is good about these tests is that they remove the language component and cultural references that are typically blamed for differences in scores across ethnic groups

High IQ is about pattern recognition ability and the speed at which you can do it. Someone with a high IQ may not know a subject because they were never exposed to it before, but can usually pick it up fast because they can recognize patterns and process new concepts quickly. These types of pattern tests obviously test pattern recognition, and the timed nature accesses the speed aspect of thought processing. Further, many of these patterns are complex enough to measure relative memory capacity and abstract visualization ability. Finding the patterns in numerous images requires being able to remember and compare all the details of each image clearly and abstractly visualize what the next image might be. It's actually difficult for many people to do more than about 3 images consistently. 4, 5, or even 6 and many lower IQ people start to struggle and even if they can solve them, it takes them much more time.

This is even more true when we consider the simple fact that the very definition of "intelligence" itself is malleable: from place to place; that said, I do believe we can agree that there is some form of "baseline" whenever it comes to measuring "intelligence" on a very generalized basis. For example, the intelligence required to perform simple arithmetic, to have basic deductive and inductive reasoning capabilities, basic common-speech, basic reading skills, and basic writing skills in one's native language (though that final point would easily be refuted by cultures who do not use a writing system-or use one scantly). Whereas the theoretical "top" measure of intelligence evolves over time and is what changes from culture to culture; geniuses of their times have historically been out-performed by their posterity.

That's like saying paying for a crossword puzzle book is a scam. What crossword puzzles can do for you, is improve your literacy. What an IQ test can do for you, is improve your understanding of basic logic, math, patterns, geometry and so much more.... if that's not worth money to you, then ok. But don't call it a scam.

@@TheBazino Apologies if I am mistaken but your comment seems to show a severe lack of understanding regarding the topic at-hand. Allow me to explain: crossword puzzles can improve your literacy (to a degree), this is true; however, your second clause is where I digress. IQ tests, by their very nature, are tests that supposedly cannot be studied for and they supposedly measure your quotient of intelligence. This _is, in fact,_ a scam; I explained it in further detail in my above comment, if you are curious.

Her results r correct

I understand the satirical nature of your quip.

LMAO

"Densa" is a real old joke within Mensa. To tell it again, makes you a member of Densa! ha, ha. :P

Are you referring to fat people in the mensa?

@@satrickptar6265 Only the short ones

Didn't you kill a whole bunch of innocent college girls?

Mario Pellegrino Jesus Christ man Edit: at first I thought you were referencing Eliot Rodgers, implying that OP looked like him. Just realized that OP’s pic actually IS Eliot Rodgers. It’s less funny now :(

@Ringo Garvin HAHAHA well they must exist out there somewhere!

@Ringo Garvin MGTOWs made sure of that
