I’ll come back to the IQ test when I’m not 2 nights sleep deprived, that shit’s not being processed right now.
My brother has an IQ of like 155 or something ridiculous. He’s a man sponge when it comes to learning new information. He does have Asperger’s though.

I would shave off at least 40 points because there’s no way I’m that smart
Clearly with the double post lol
April 24, 2013 at 8:11 pm #1272270Im so smart, I can see films in 3D without wearing the glasses.
April 24, 2013 at 8:18 pm #1272321Blah i got 99, and i tried so hard!
Psy , when you do it, mind out for the questions with coloured blocks asking you to complete the sequence, fucking colours pickle your head something chronicApril 24, 2013 at 8:21 pm #1272250Double post? What double post?
And Korno that would just mean you’re within the mean range.

April 24, 2013 at 8:55 pm #1272336I got 120 too 😀

Okay, you or a mod got rid of it to make me look stupid. I sense a conspiracy.
April 24, 2013 at 9:40 pm #1272251There was never a double post mate. At least not on my end? Maybe it glitched out for you for some reason (could’ve been the auto-update threads have.)

Oh, I’ll blame Norton then lol.
April 24, 2013 at 10:10 pm #1272334I got 123 but with the sequence ones I didn’t really know what I was doing, I used to absolutely hate doing sequences and series in maths.
I think all the PV’ers are fairly intelligent people, but it’s more that we are an interesting open minded bunch who take interest in interesting things
April 24, 2013 at 10:54 pm #1272289Well all so far who didn’t take the test stoned got higher than average.
April 24, 2013 at 11:48 pm #1272322it’s saying the average score of the population is around 100 give or take some, and i got 99 so i should just leave PV now :hopeless:
This sucks, i’m really not happy with my score beings it’s the lowest out of everybody here !Anywho for my blame…cos i need something, i blame my parents.

Don’t stress it too much tbh. IQ tests are for logical/mathematical thinking so if that’s not your thing it’s not covered by the test.

This is quite true, there are also tests for EQ to measure your emotional ‘intelligence’. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more of them to test creativity and other various ‘intelligences’.

a very interesting read. I think many people with Autism display these multiple intelligences to be true. Your average mainstream person’s brain develops evenly so the degree of difference in each of these areas is relatively low. Whereas I’ve known an individual with Autism who was completely lacking in their ability to gauge spatial awareness resulting in them walking into objects and being unable to navigate through a crowded room, interpersonal intelligence was hindered too meaning poor social skills. Yet this same individual excelled in mathematics on a savant level and had an unnaturally high bodily-kinaesthetic intelligence enabling them to handle a deck of cards with great dexterity. This particular person could also find the centre of gravity on any object. Hand him two random items and he would find a way of balancing one on top of the other if physics allows, sometimes in fact seemingly denying physics.
I could give a whole bunch of other examples but that is the one that sprung to mind.

It’s true. I mean you can see it in lots of different ways. I’m not sure Mozart would get a Fields Medal, or Picasso would get a booker prize. The list could go on but you know what I mean. People develop different talents/intelligences over the years. Some incredibly gifted people can end up being influential in multiple disciplines. I do think you can sort of train your intelligences though. It just takes a lot of work to master them.

Funnily enough both Picasso and Mozart are believed to have had Asperger’s, or was it Beethoven. Probably both actually. Many great thinkers and inventors or masters of various arts are thought to have had a high functioning form of the condition. In fact come to think of it most of the people that have driven the human race forward (before this was achieved with money) are postulated to have had it. Da Vinci, Newton and Archimedes to name but a few.

I’m definitely down with that. If intelligence is somehow a measure of our mind’s ability to make sense of things, then an IQ test seems like a pretty poor way to assess it. I think the IQ test has a lot to answer for, as it has shaped our idea of intelligence to fit this very narrow range of mental skills. I think the most useful thing you can tell about a person from their IQ is how good they are at doing IQ tests.

True but remember it is trying to determine your capacity to learn not actual information learnt.

IQ tests tend to work very well for assessing a person’s ability for logical and analytical thinking/pattern recognition. For example in the IQ test administered it was basically association of pars (like the finger and hand) or recognising patterns (the shapes, and the mathematical patterns.)
But it can’t assess stuff like creativity, mastery of language, or a multitude of other things.
Hell I’d say even footballers/sportsmen are pretty smart, in a certain way. The level of dexterity needed for some things they do is certainly high-grade.

I’ve sometimes thought that snooker players must have really mathematical minds. Maybe they wouldn’t do so well in a maths test, but think of what must go on subconsciously for them to hit one ball with exactly the right force, angle and spin to cause another ball at the other end of a fucking big table (that’s waaay bigger than the pool table down the pub) to go in a pocket and leave the first ball in a good position for the next shot.
(Unfortunately it’s all wasted on me though as I’d rather watch my toenails grow than sit in front of the TV when snooker’s on)

I see what you’re getting at actually there mate and something I’d never taken into account. I’m shockingly poor at maths and physics yet place a football in front of me and I can long pass it usually to within inches of a target. My mates used to call me rain man of football lol. Funny thing is I perform better when I glance at intended destination then almost blindly strike the ball than if I consciously try to take in distance, wind, weight of ball etc etc.
