No test measures intelligence. A test only measures you relative to the persons that wrote the test. – loosely quoting Asimov.
2007 is ancient history now. It is an interesting graph that one might correlate with a lack of meritocratic structure in society, but I’m on the low end cause I say this without looking up and reading the study. Pretty pictures evoke emotional blabbering bias and all that.
What? No, I was making a point about arbitrary measures of intelligence.
Isn’t IQ based on problem solving or something? Is it really as arbitrary as political ideals? I’ve heard it’s racist, and I’m totally willing to accept that, but I currently have no clue how that would be possible.
Intelligence is not something that can be quantified in any way whatsoever, and I would consider any IQ test to be fully arbitrary—so the answer is yes. I’m sure there’s some problem solving component.
If you ever want evidence of IQ being bullshit, I have a super genius IQ. It’s like 666 standard deviations above the mean. Talk to anyone who has ever talked to me and they will very quickly disagree! 😂
Mind explaining the 666 standard deviations above the mean? I just did a quick google search, and the AI says that’s impossible, but if one standard deviation is 15 points and the mean is 100(which is my new understanding)… Are you saying your IQ is OVER 9,000!!! 10,090, I think. That’s hilarious
I think they said my IQ was 144?
Yes, sorry, I was just making a stupid joke!
