| Sometimes people say there is no prerequisite knowledge required in an IQ test, but as a testtaker what do you think? Also please share your score along with your opinion. https://www.123test.com/iq-test/#classical-intelligence-test https://test.mensa.no/ I got a 10/10, but I was being a silly baka and lost a decent chunk of time on the number sequence. The test is timed so you got 10 minutes. I think prerequisite knowledge could help a lot, of course on the verbal parts but also things like programmers probably having it easier to spot that something is an xor problem and things like that. Disclaimer, online tests can't really accurately encompass a complete IQ test in real life. I got 135 on the second one but I only got to do 32 questions since I lost track of time so I doubt it's the cap on the test, sad day. You got 25 minutes for the 2nd test. |
| An IQ test is pretty much just a pattern recognizing test, a large part of intelligence is how to recognize patterns but also other stuff that can barely be tested. It should never require prerequisite knowledge and a child should get about the same results as an adult. There is however optimized tests for children but that's a different story. I took a look at your linked tests and the first one is absolute garbage, half of the questions require you to be good at English. I guess someone who isn't native just can't be intelligent then? Second test looks better but I still wouldn't trust an online test. Not to mention mensa is a bunch of elitist assholes but that's also a different story. |
This test requires a €9.99 payment to get your results. |
IceySongstress said: I mean there's a lot of easier ones. Here's the answers I picked. I don't even know how you can manage to score 135 on the second test, considering at least 1/3 of the questions are of a difficulty that are not easily solvable in a few minutes without prior practice. I only got 118 on that second test and it's already at 88 percentile. 1 percentile = 1.34 100 percentile = 134 You are literally saying you can do these types of hard questions which consists of multiple patterns in a few minutes. 25 minutes when it's so much harder than this site. https://international-iq-test.com/en/ which I took last year if I remember accurately. And so many of the harder questions. I don't really know what a good IQ test looks like, never took one irl. Just did some prior reading on what kind of things may be included, but no idea on what's supposed to be included I guess. |

| Phew! Sorry, I did not have the patience to finish the second test... I only reply to reply to this humble brag thread (you like to create a lot of them!) to reply due to the interesting question, and I believe that indeed, between an old man who did not see a geometric figure in a few decades and someone who thinks about shapes all day, the latter definitely has an edge. There were also basic first-order logic questions, and all adults are normally able to solve them even if they have never heard of Gödel's theorems, though familiarity with set theory helps. |
| yeah i just scored 240 on the first and 230 on the second. this seems pretty accurate as I read at least a single book every year, soaking in knowledge like a sponge. although with an iq so high (like me) it can get pretty burdensome, i'm always the smartest in the room yk? i can't learn from other people, they can only learn for me. haha ig that's just a me issue tho since you all are dumber than me, oh well 😔 |

Lexunius said: >Another MAL IQ thread where somehow 90% of MAL users score in the top 10% of the IQ distribution Well to be fair it's not hard to score a high iq in some online test and people having a low result probably won't post it here. |
 This is an IQ world map. I've tested, around 110-120. |
Letting slide the fact that the thread is not at all about IQ as broken apart by nations, would you care to tell us about your source for this map? Seeing as without any backing, this is just an image and nothing more. And, while you're at it, what did you want to convey with this image? Would you be attributing this seeming disparity to any such factors such as, availability/commonplaceness (or lack thereof) of standardized tests, education system, health, nutrition, or a stimulating environment to challenge oneself in? Or would you perhaps like to do the most rudimentary room temperature IQ (ironically enough) "analysis" (using the term rather loosely here) of this image that one could feasibly manage? I'd like to not load the question any further, and pass it to you. |

| yayyy i got a 100 percentile in the test.mensa im so intelligent UwU if i didnt get nervous in the last two i would be a geniusss IceySongstress said: This test is at least 1.5-2 sd harder than most tests. And the questions it pose are the type where anyone can't differentiate the different multiple patterns easily. fr tho the last two are too misleading to be done in such time because the first 33 are just applying usual operations |
| Going out now, but i'll save this thread to do the test later 😁 |

Well first of all, this is the most commonly used IQ map, by Lynn, but there is a thousand more by other researchers to back up these findings.

Would you be attributing this seeming disparity to any such factors such as, availability/commonplaceness (or lack thereof) of standardized tests, education system, health, nutrition, or a stimulating environment to challenge oneself in? Arguably it's the IQ that causes the lack of standardized tests, education quality, health, nutritional awareness.

RuneRem said: Well first of all, this is the most commonly used IQ map, by Lynn, but there is a thousand more by other researchers to back up these findings. @Milzol I figured that might be it, but it actually isn't, interestingly enough. There are some differences between the image you posted and Lynn & Vanhanen's 2006 IQ map, notable ones I can see are China, North Korea, Japan, Turkey, but there are a couple more fluctuations.  https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2006_Richard_Lynn_and_Tatu_Vanhanen_IQ_Data.png Perhaps someone at /pol/ or /sci/ simply took Lynn and Vanhanen's already highly suspect and shaky "findings" and re-colored some of the nations that are not white that they do not like to a lower one. Just an educated guess of mine. And particularly, the change of North Korea is the most peculiar to me, seeing as it would go counter to your race realist view, as NK and SK are both people of the same ethnicity. Perhaps you shouldn't have used the 4chan-modified map after all.. It is, I'd assume, also just complete coincidence to you that the first thing showing up in his Wikipedia page is countless discrediting and contentions of his 2006 work for lacking in scientific rigor and equally many indications of the guy being guided by his political agenda. Wikipedia said: Many scientists have criticised Lynn's work on racial and national differences in intelligence for lacking scientific rigour, misrepresenting data, and for promoting a racialist political agenda.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15] A number of scholars and intellectuals have said that Lynn is associated with a network of academics and organisations that promote scientific racism.[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] In the late 1970s, Lynn wrote that he found that East Asians have a higher average intelligence quotient (IQ) than Europeans and Europeans have a higher average IQ than sub-Saharan Africans. In 1990, he proposed that the Flynn effect – the gradual increase in IQ scores observed around the world since the 1930s – could possibly be explained by improved nutrition. In two books co-written with Tatu Vanhanen, Lynn and Vanhanen argued that differences in developmental indexes among various nations are partially caused by the average IQ of their citizens. Earl Hunt and Werner Wittmann (2008) questioned the validity of their research methods and the highly inconsistent quality of the available data points that Lynn and Vanhanen used in their analysis.[9] Lynn has also argued that the high fertility rate among individuals of low IQ constitutes a major threat to Western civilisation, as he believes people with low IQ scores will eventually outnumber high-IQ individuals. He has argued in favour of political measures to prevent this, including anti-immigration and eugenics policies, provoking heavy criticism internationally.[10][25][11] Lynn's work was among the main sources cited in the book The Bell Curve, and he was one of 52 scientists who signed an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal entitled "Mainstream Science on Intelligence",[26] which endorsed a number of the views presented in the book RuneRem said: Arguably it's the IQ that causes the lack of standardized tests, education quality, health, nutritional awareness. I'm well aware that you think the environmental reasons are downstream from IQ, as opposed to IQ scores being downstream from such factors, but can you instantiate that claim and not just assert it? Did you isolate such factors to see if the difference persists? There would need to be analyzed case studies wherein the only difference between groups is the factor that you're insinuating, with everything else kept as constant as it can be. Only then you could make scientific inferences, without it these are just mean-spirited and pure guesses. And lastly, there aren't "a thousand more". Searching for it for a couple of pages gives me this one consistently, and not others, meaning the data on this isn't all that plentiful. |

And there is other sources regarding national IQ.

Searching for it for a couple of pages gives me this one consistently, and not others, meaning the data on this isn't all that plentiful. Minnesota study, shows that even with environmental factors taken into account, the disparity continues. "meaning the data on this isn't all that plentiful." There is if you spent more time. But what does that say about academia, refusing to study the subject more.... |
| Knowing your IQ score won't make you any smarter. |
No, this isn't my signature. |
| IQ tests are basically - almost entirely objectively - worthless. This is the first thing you'll learn in any higher education even tangentially related to psychology. They're no more accurate than a personality test - although even the Meyer's Briggs has *some* (VERY minor) application in that it generalises some of your behaviours into a somewhat easy-to-understand-at-a-glance codified designation. |
