In general, those rated high in openness to experience prefer more complex and novel music like classical, jazz, and eclecticism, and intense and rebellious music.

People rating higher in openness also tend to rate higher in self-assessed intelligence.

Openness to experience is also positively correlated with intellectual or cognitive use of music, which means that this individual enjoys analyzing complex musical compositions.

I've been tested by a psychologist ages ago when I was feeling like shit in middleschool. I ended up with a high score too, but to be honest I don't trust that shit. Plus I probably killed half my brain cells with weed.

Anyway, my fav is Kill la Kill, I'm probably dumb because there's a clear correlation between anime taste and intellect [/sarcasm]

So, a brief amount of research gives us a Wikipedia article.
Wikipedia said:

Openness to experience correlates with intelligence, correlation coefficients ranging from about r = .30 to r = .45.[19] Openness to experience is moderately associated with crystallized intelligence, but only weakly with fluid intelligence.

Since correlation is merely r=.30 to .45, you should have used "openness to experience" as a determining trait. I'm sure it would've lead to a more productive discussion.

Or that is what I would say if my favorite label wasn't so arbitrary and built for the sake of having one. It's completely interchangeable with any other entry in my top5 or so.

Comment? This is the biggest fucking circlejerk of a thread I swear to god lol.


Here's the thing op when it comes to those psychology results, and since you're smart you shouldn't probably know what I am about to say..THESE ARE NEVER BASED ON FACTUAL EVIDENCE!!
Also, if you want to do a better job of having your "scientific" argument to have some meaning then the research sure as shit better be a peer reviewed scientific journal. Even then when it comes to psychological "evidence' and relating it to a one's individual hobby it is almost irrelevant and should only be referenced for fun or to present an idea.

However, you are not just presenting an idea, you are trying to pass on this SUBJECTIVE point of view and relate it to science while using terms such as "objective" to talk about what you deem "good taste" in relation to art? The only way you can use the term objective properly is when you are relating it to FACTUAL evidence/something that already exist.

Everyday the work I do and the schooling I am in is quite heavy in the field of biochemicals and engineering, so I cringe every time someone throws out pseudo-science, but 9/10 I don't even say a word because I don't even think i should waste my time.

You are trying to relate personal enjoyment and intuitive understanding for a specific art form, with the ability to problem solve and comprehend formulas/situations from a more logical perspective. There is no need to ask for IQ and then somehow warp it to relate to why people like more complex themes, because their reasoning for liking the show would have absolutely nothing to do with their ability to understand and enjoy it.
Just because someone hates or doesn't understand the tatami galaxy, cat soup, texhnolyze, etc, has nothing to do with the ability to infer or deduce rational conclusions.
Someone's taste in music, anime, writing, hobbies has no relation to their IQ. The articles that do present these ideas, in terms of relating IQ to personal enjoyment of a media, will never state their experiments or results to be 100% or even 90%...and sometimes not even 70% accurate.

I have known people with IQs much higher than anyone in this thread, and they would hate when lyrics or themes weren't straightforward and easy to understand when it came to art (writing or visuals). This wasn't due to a low IQ, obviously, but this was due to their inability (or just straight up not wanting to) to understand emotions or empathize with symbolic moments.

I don't know you op, and I am not sure what kind of responses you were looking for initially...but please...please tell me that you do not actually believe any of the shit you wrote to be factual evidence.




By the way, to have your IQ accurately tested you would have to have it done by either a doctor or psychologist (though mensa does it differently I heard), and these test are not like anything you find online. So I would look at the online iq assessments to be mere suggestions than actual proof. But even then, as hard as this is to believe, just because your IQ is lower than someone else's doesn't mean that they know more or understand more concepts than you do.

Would you present evidence for this? I'm not asking for an empirical evidence. I'm just imploring a rational, logical, knowledge-based explanation for this. We're hypothesizing; a process in which the requisite is a rational, sensible, logical, explanation based on prior knowledge of facts. It's not about giving new information; it's about finding the secret information hidden somewhere in the already 'known'.

Yes...yes I did, you want to know why?
Because testing one's IQ is not the same as testing one's IQ based off of their interests and enjoyment. To enjoy does not always mean the same as to comprehend. Sure, some enjoy shows for this reason, but this is purely subjective and does not require the knowledge of one's IQ to have any "proof"

By the way, I was talking about that wikipedia page you posted and in relation to that type of research. Also, I never said it lacked evidence, but that the evidence should not be seen as fact. It was very clear that was what I was stating

I will say this though, as I said before, your IQ level has very little to do with what your knowledge is in and what you intuitively understand. This is why I say the the enjoyment and interest in certain anime series or genres have very little (pretty much nothing to do with) your IQ level. Your IQ level does not test your intuition nor your ability grasp allegory.

IQ has much to do with intuition. Why say you, that people with higher IQ are naturally good at maths as well?

More intelligent people enjoy solving problems. When you present them a puzzle masqueraded as a piece of entertainment, they will love it all the more. Knowledge surely has little relation with IQ save for the fact that IQ is basically the 'potential' for retention and interpretation of knowledge. But then again, in the modern world, who exactly doesn't have knowledge of the themes usually utilized in complex anime?

And even if we say that someone was caught completely unaware, then the analysis is always one click, and one sentence, away on the internet.

In my opinion, intelligence doesn't necessarily dictate preference and taste. Personally, I think the quintessential 'Intellectuals' Anime' 'Neon Genesis Evangelion' is pretentious and don't like it at all. I also have similar opinions of the Kara no Kyoukai series, although its presentation compensates for parts of it.

I don't really know what my IQ is, as the tests I've taken in the last few years for evaluation and placement land me between 130 and 154, which is a pretty wide margin of error. However, most of my favourite shows correlate more to my experiences. Cowboy Bebop for my adoration of science fiction (born from Star Wars), fondness for goofy characters, and background as a jazz musician, The Tatami Galaxy for its absolute hilarity and interesting yet highly relatable themes, Sakamichi no Apollon, again, due to my background as a jazz musician and the fact that the main characters' friendship (minus the Yaoi undertones) mirrors me and my best friend from high school- down to him being a classical pianist I introduced to jazz. I could go on forever, but a lot of these shows aren't extremely insightful, but appeal to me based on the factor of relatability- both through things I've experienced and things I've grown to like.

This could just be me, but none of my favourite shows are up there because they scratch some sort of 'Intellectual Itch'.

thanks, buddy, if you scroll down on that exact same link there's a theory of multiple intelligences as well. some people tend to be smart with words, others with numbers, others with emotions, etc etc. if iq tests measured all of that, they might be somewhat closer to being accurate, but nah. and 'logical thinking', i believe can apply to several situations other than patterns/maths/numbers.

Complex anime usually deal more with spotting the symbolism or a deeper theme hidden underneath. That would have business with fluid intelligence, unlike music which deals with crystallized.

Exactly.
I said this is another thread before, but one's ability to understand symbolism within an artform requires knowledge of that specific theme or specific situation within the plot.
Most of the symbolism we see in these shows require the viewer to be emotionally invested, or at least have a basic understanding of what certain elements (whether it be cultural elements, philosophical elements, comedic elements, heartwarming and even heart wrenching elements as well).

My intelligence can't be measured with some stupid test, and Hunter x Hunter is my favorite anime.

I really never want to talk about IQ in depth on here again. My back and forths with Bernkastel really exhausted me.

Well,it is certainly true that it must be hard for a person, whose intelligence is apparently off-charts.

Yours can't be measured either. Most things we think of when we think of "intelligence" are only correlated to IQ scores, some a lot weaker than others. And the correlation does not warrant the treatment "IQ" is given in today's society. I mostly blame pop culture for that though.

well my I.Q. is fairly high since im a researcher in the field of quantum mechanics and theoretical physics.... ive been involved with the L H C at CERN in Europe and im studying the possibilities of multi-universe realities that may be spawned from singularities of Black Holes and the correlation with the singularity of the Big Bang that allowed the Universe we inhabit to come about.

Just did that one that you posted. mine was 138. What is considered to be low IQ?

Basically, 100 is average, approximately two-thirds of the population scores between IQ 85 and IQ 115. If you get a better score, you can consider yourself smart. If you have a worse score, you're on the dumb side.
The site has a number of pages explaining the meaning of IQ, and they don't seem wrong at the first glance, for example: http://www.free-iqtest.net/iq-score-guide.asp

The main problem is that we can't know how reliable the site's results are. Maybe it gives everybody IQ 120+.

It gave me a 139, but I might have gotten that score because I avoided answering some of the math questions.

IQ has much to do with intuition. Why say you, that people with higher IQ are naturally good at maths as well?

More intelligent people enjoy solving problems. When you present them a puzzle masqueraded as a piece of entertainment, they will love it all the more. Knowledge surely has little relation with IQ save for the fact that IQ is basically the 'potential' for retention and interpretation of knowledge. But then again, in the modern world, who exactly doesn't have knowledge of the themes usually utilized in complex anime?

And even if we say that someone was caught completely unaware, then the analysis is always one click, and one sentence, away on the internet.


IQ does not test your intuition, you can even look that up. Intuition is what allows to be aware of the knowledge that you have and likely the ability to think outside the box ,but intuition is not what allows you to deduce the problems within that knowledge from a logical perspective.
Also, I do agree that there are times where your intuition can make it easier for one to invent ideas with the use of math, physics, or even chemistry, but I am not sure by "Why say you, that people with higher IQ are naturally good at maths as well? ". I never mentioned anything about math directly, and you do realize math is much more complex than what you have stated within this thread?...

Also, what exactly do you mean by a "puzzle masquerade"?

Also, your statement for what IQ measures was almost correct, but I feel you are using the term IQ with the same exact meaning as human intelligence. IQ is tested in order to have a slightly more accurate evaluation on your overall intelligence (or at least the ability to be intelligent).
You have your intelligence tested in order to asses decision making, drive, and ethics, but these "intelligence" test are far more difficult to measure when trying to use logical and factual reasoning. Your intelligence cannot be tested as clearly as your IQ can, but your IQ is in ratio with your intelligence (or to clearly state, in relation to your intelligence, but never having the same exact meaning).

Also, interpreting the meaning of a topic or a problem is not the same thing as having insight to the larger picture that may revolve around that topic or problem. It's not to say that people with high IQs lack insight , but when it comes to having insight for less obvious notions you'll see that your IQ level ends up meaning far less than what you originally thought.

Tried to answer every question wrongly. Got 74. I guess it does measure something.



Got 129 on that test you linked. Guessed a few of the answers though. Time to feel good about myself lol.


:D You do realize that the answers from the test are on the netz? Basically, what the test consistently measures is someone's awareness of using the Tab function in their browser.

That is, there's a legal way to proclaim yourself a genius as I did, given the quirks of the today's day :D

OT: Anime is my Megastructure. We use a bare minimum of vocabulary, so we are a perfect match.

I took the IQ test trance linked and got 130, not too different

And I agree with KonaKofee that intelligence is, to compact things a little bit, how well you process what you know. Sure, people on the IQ level of Einstein can probably understand a topic/subject better, but if you're completely unaware of something, IQ won't be of much help when it comes to finding it.

People who take IQ seriously are funny and must think the education system actually works.

Mhhh... So this thread is saying that if I like more "lively" anime, not dark anime with complex themes, means I have a low I.Q.... Laughable.
