Why are we doing this? IQ points measure logical thinking (and are not even a very good measure at that, the same person could get fairly different scores on different days), anime is an art form- Being able to think more logically than average should have little to do with your ability to appreciate art. In some ways, it could make you closed off to looser interpretations.

Besides, on the internet, your IQ is whatever you say it is. You can't really think you're creating a legitimate poll here.

Is it Prima aprilis joke or you want to prove you are smart? There is no connection between your favorite anime and your IQ. People try to connect IQ to other things because reality is too sad to accept it.
About random IQ tests on fb or wherever don't belive it. Those are just fun for masses. Real IQ tests wouldn't be showed so easly because already known test is useless in future.

Or maybe they have legitimate well-founded reasons which go right over your slow head.

It's not even a matter of "not taking it seriously". It's more about exploring what an IQ score means in a deeper, more complete sense, and then applying that understanding. An understanding which happens to contain skepticism when skepticism is rational.

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.


Majority of Maths is intuition-based. High IQ means better intuition and better intuition means better math skills.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intuition#In_Western_philosophy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstraction#In_mathematics

IQ is a measure of human intelligence; it doesn't take in account all the factors, surely, but whatever it measures is credible enough to be used. Folks at MENSA aren't idiots for using IQ tests to gauge their candidates' intelligence. They're intelligent people gathered on basis of their IQ.

If by intelligence you mean to gauge crystallized intelligence then you can notice it in the academic performance of a student. And a better academic performance is well correlated to a high IQ.

IQ isn't objective, indeed. But to dismiss it solely based on the reason that it isn't objective is foolish. Art isn't objective; do we dismiss it? No.

Whatever it may mean, but fact of the matter remains that those with a higher IQ are usually also perceived as 'more intelligent'. If an entirely dumb person got a score of 140 on an IQ test then that would be a credible argument against IQ.

The problem arises when people link the concepts of knowledge with IQ. Higher IQ doesn't higher knowledge by default; higher IQ simply means that higher knowledge can be retained, not that it has been retained.

Key word that you mentioned: usually
There are many aspects associated with intelligence which can't really be measured in a testing setting. Especially because IQ tests operate under the pretense of being fair to different people in different backgrounds. And it is also very difficult to quantify and standardize the complex interactions with one's environment, which is why the tests are forced to substitute complex patterns instead.

A lot of people who appear "entirely dumb" can score rather high on IQ tests. Often they are diagnosed as having Savant Syndrome, or Autism. When you say "dumb" though, that is very ambiguous. An IQ test is unlikely to give false positives - if you score high you have demonstrated either some sort of an extreme case of luck, or much more likely the ability to perform a certain kind of problem solving. But the demonstrated problem solving ability is not necessarily in line with the test-taker's intellectual skill set. There are many different kinds of complex reasoning which simply can't be tested. Sure, someone who scores higher on an IQ test is more likely to be adept at various kinds of complex reasoning, but it's just a predictor, not an actual measure of their innate ability.

The other thing you said is blatantly obvious to anyone with a brain.

Inasmuch you agree that people possess different levels of intellect, IQ shouldn't entirely be meaningless to you - and it obviously isn't.

I don't agree with the term 'intellectual skill set'. Some people may be better at dealing with emotions; they may easily perceive the emotional state of their conversation partner by his countenance or they regulate their behavioral pattern according to the emotional atmosphere; and those we call having higher emotional intelligence. Some people may be better at dealing with cars or automobiles; they easily find the flaw in the engine; and those people we call having more 'knowledge' of automobiles. Likewise would be the case of a physicist, a psychiatrist and so on. And even if we aren't dealing with professionals, then one can be better at a certain task and for that task we would call him 'more knowledgeable'. 'Skill set' implies knowledge. Intellect is measured by a person's ability to solve a problem whereof he had no priori knowledge. That's why patterns are most usually utilized in IQ tests; in fact they consist almost entirely of patterns. Every real life problem can be converted into a pattern (reason formal logic exists). And dealing with this pattern is a sign of intelligence.

I reject multi-intelligence theory. There are only different depths of 'abstract thinking' and beyond that is knowledge. A person good at, say, music is obviously good at interpreting 'symbols' or better yet, his symbolic thinking is good. If that person invests the same amount of time and effort in, say, mathematics, he will equally be as good at maths as he would be at music assuming he learnt music through means of 'symbols'; not by watching someone else play a certain instrument. The basic schema in both fields, music and math, is that related to 'symbolic thinking'. And so if one learnt music really easily by means of interpreting symbols, then he would also be able to learn maths just as easily.

OP, read the article you linked carefully.

Taste does not depend on intelligence it depends on personality.

What you are saying is basically idealisation like "smart people have better interests" or "smart people like grim and realistic stuff" or "cheap, popular stuff is for idiots while the more refined looking entertainment is for smart people".

Again, taste depends on personality. What a person likes does not depend on intelligence, but what that person is able to appreciate does.

An ecchi anime fan does not need to be stupid, someone who thinks Evangelion is brilliant does not need to be a genius.

You can disagree with terms all you like, but the examples you mentioned can all be viewed in terms of a skill set which starts from the brain you are born with and what connections are made within it. If you are isolated your whole life, or have uncommon emotional reactions to stimuli, you are not going to be as "emotionally intelligent". Both are actually a manifestation of environmental and genetic factors. Isolation can be a choice due to genetic predisposition as well as environment. Uncommon emotional reactions mean that you aren't feeling the same things as other people do at the same time, so you are less likely to understand their feelings, which could be something you are born with or past experiences which shaped you to react that way. When you use the word "intelligence" for it though, people start to think in an oversimplified form - that there is some kind of magic meter in one's brain that can measure their ability in this area. And that somehow an external test can read that meter. It's really an easy excuse to "underthink" the topic, especially when there are tests that produce a number.

About your car example which I will call "mechanical intelligence", it may be convenient to distill it into "intelligence and knowledge" but this is an artificial paradigm created for viewing the topic through two abstract constructs which aren't rooted in biology. It's especially convenient when there are tests which quantify an estimate of the "intelligence" portion. But when you start viewing everything through this convenient synthetic paradigm, you lose definition and nuance, which are present in the more organic, mechanistic explanation.

You say you reject "multi-intelligence" theory, yet you promote an idea in the very same paragraph which seems to be equally based in idealization. You can't just link things together on the common ground of something so expansive as "symbols" and expect the brain to process them the same just because they share that common thread.

The IQ test is strictly limited to determining that type of intelligence. Since this is the focus on the thread, then that's what's being discussed. Multiple intelligences do exist, but they do not apply strictly to the IQ test. You're allowed to think of it as a moot point of determining intelligence, but there has to be a temporary correlation to the test-taking process itself, it's called an "Intelligence Quotient" test for a reason. Remember that there are multiple IQ tests, so that means it might not be a good measure of measuring intelligence in the first place, but if this is the focus on the thread, it shouldn't be challenged if that's what we're talking about here.

According to free-iqtest.net, I have an IQ of 145.

My overall favorite anime would have to be Non Non Biyori.

I'm not too sure what I think about this. If you were to ask me what anime or manga those of a higher IQ tended to enjoy more, I'd probably answer with Psychological or Dementia. I personally find those genres to be the most interesting (such as Shinsekai Yori, Monster, Parasyte, Cat Soup, or Serial Experiments Lain), but I don't seem to find myself personally enjoying those series as much as something like Non Non Biyori. Something about its innocence and relaxed atmosphere just fills me with joy, while these Psychological series tend to do the opposite, even though I find them to be far more interesting. I suppose the same could be said about any medium of entertainment. For example, I find more joy in playing fun RPG type video games than I do indie-style psychological/dementia games, even though I find those types of games to be fascinating. I enjoy listening to metal more often than classical, because to listen to and truly appreciate classical music, I find I have to put the majority of my focus into listening to and feeling the music, which I've been finding difficult to do lately, whereas I can oftentimes just blast metal and enjoy it without putting any focus into it. But those are just my two cents.

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.


Majority of Maths is intuition-based. High IQ means better intuition and better intuition means better math skills.

IQ is a measure of human intelligence; it doesn't take in account all the factors, surely, but whatever it measures is credible enough to be used. Folks at MENSA aren't idiots for using IQ tests to gauge their candidates' intelligence. They're intelligent people gathered on basis of their IQ.

If by intelligence you mean to gauge crystallized intelligence then you can notice it in the academic performance of a student. And a better academic performance is well correlated to a high IQ.

IQ isn't objective, indeed. But to dismiss it solely based on the reason that it isn't objective is foolish. Art isn't objective; do we dismiss it? No.


Talk about misinterpretating my statement -_- not once did i say dismiss IQ completely in life, but when it gets to the enjoyment of art. Your IQ is irrelevant at that point when it comes to understanding and investing emotions into a synbolic theme. Also, where are you getting some of these statements from? Did you understand what i was trying to say?

My grandfather was a mensa member with a very very high iq, and a very academically intelligent man, but holy shit he could not comprehend deep emotions or things that were not as linear.


Honestly, I have never seen someone talk and be so obsess with IQ as you are.
Even when I am working alongside fellow engineers, a few having IQs over 145, will hardly ever talk about it and some even still managed to fail classes and not understand certain formulas. As long as your IQ is over 89 you should possess the ability to be highly intellectual and knowledgeable overall.

When it comes to truly understanding subjects, truly getting good grades, coming up with original ideas, being motivated, and being intuitive your IQ does not have as much of a profound affect as you seem to believe it has. A high iq does not nean you understand every single thing that is presebted to you. Maybe it helps you understand information faster than others, but you also have to put in the effort to learn yourself.
On top of that, you were initially relating it to taste in anime, in which the correlation is even less.

The main thing one should focus on, when it comes to being seen as intelligent, is to worry about obtaining higher knowledge from school or at least become proficient on a certain subject or task. This means far more in the real world than how smart you look for having certain favorite anime series.

funny thing.. germany had was some researches about the viewership of different shows, genres whatever some years ago.. the results were, that people with an academic degree f.e often like trash-shows or series because its something unusual from their daily life and where they can just chill.


so, ppl who are watching "bad anime" maybe more educated or intellectual than try-hards with their intellectual-complex-elitist anime.


I can understand that to an extent.

Someone commented on here and said their IQ was 160, but their favorite anine was an ecchi.

And I know some people in my program and research team with high iqs who are like this for similar reasons you just stated.
When you work your way further into certain subjects or majors you realize that your 140 IQ is no better than someone else's 110 IQ.

Pretty much sums up me.

I don't take anime seriously at all unless people are literally acting like baboons about shit they don't know.

The most accurate IQ test can be derived from this very website.

The higher you have rated Gintama, the lower your IQ is.

If 100 is the average, 5/10 makes you average. 1/10 makes you a genius. 10/10 means you are just 1 click above being a vegetable.



100% accurate results.

Not really. 5/10 makes me average. So 4/10 makes me above average, and that's that. I am not smart enough to undersstand how bad it really is.

Seeing I rated it a 3, I'd be right in my quotient (144, which is above average).
