I'm not the guy who drew the comparison, but whether or not anyone "actually wins" a war is immaterial to the point. You understood it enough to unnecessarily belabor it, but not enough to take it for what value it has so you offered a trite opinion about the futility of war. Just accept the (perfectly salient) proposition that IQ isn't the total descriptor of physical success and leave it you fucking autist

Your IQ lies outside the area that the test is able to measure. We are hoping to extend this area as soon as we have gathered more data. Remember that it is a good idea to practice tests such as this - there are many others available online.

Am I retarded or smart ?

>>9522274
Just tell us your favourite book and we will judge it for you.

Last time I took an internet IQ test I got 125, so it's probably 115-120.

Favourite is Moby Dick or Anna Karenina
Least favorite is I Am Number Four (terrible YA)

When I took that one I got 133, but I didn't save a screen cap
Finnegans Wake

I can understand every question except for the one with the lines with squares on top or hanging from the bottom, the one with stacked squares on either sides of the line, and the final one

>>9522286
Favourite is Parzival, probably runners up would be The Brothers Karamazov and The Count of Monte Cristo

Least is any of the YA that other 17 year olds read

>okay kids, I will not explain what you did wrong in the last exam lol
>here are your notes with no explanations whatsoever!!

>>9522315
I agree, that's the point I'm making. IQ doesn't necessarily determine the "goodness" (by any definition of the term) of a work of art.

>>9522350
That doesn't work for a test measuring inherent ability instead of memorization or skill, dumbass

>>9522352
Higher IQ should make you more consistent in goodness though.

>>9522360
Your inherent ability gets better if the correct reasoning is shown to you.

>>9522360
not the anon you're meaningfully talking to, but I don't see how an IQ test comprised of Raven's Progressive Matrices measures inherent ability or renders similar results over time. Intuitively, it seems like one can significantly improve his performance at pattern recognition... I'm open to read some literature on this, but I must confess, although I acknowledge the utility of IQ test I remain very sceptical as to their ability to measure ''''inherent'''' intelligence.

Any recs to lit on this?

It´s bullshit, i´m still dumb as fuck

I don´t really have a favorite. The one writer i have consistently enjoyed the most, is probably Borges, so i´d choose his Complete Short Stories. If i had to choose on of his collections, it´d be Ficciones.
On novels, it´s i tie between Don Quijote or Crime and Punishment (I suspect i´d really enjoy The Brothers K, but i haven´t read it yet)

My least favorite is a Dystopian novel i read because i really liked this girl and she loved that book. It was horribly written and its sory very generic. I think it´s called Red Dawn or something

anyone willing to help out with this >>9522373 ?

favorite: the perks of being a wallflower / the absolutely true diary of a part-time indian (tie, both authentic)

The top image shifted half across the field, so the full circle turned into a split circle and the _\/_ turned into a triangle in the second row. In the third row the right half was then rotated 180°.

>>9522300
Line squares confused me as well, I believe it was just the middle row's squares layered on top of the left row's.
Stacked square one was probably my favorite. When two colors were on the same side of the line they were added for the third one, when they were on different sides they were subtracted. Final one see above.

>>9522341
See above.

>>9522496
I used to feel proud about scoring among the best 4% on tests, then I looked at it as one out of 25 and just felt embarrassed.

Just saw that I was thinking of the wrong one for the final one.

Final one was like all the others where two lines in the same spot disappeared and only single lines remained, except you had to look at the top image as rotated by 180°.

>>9522533

it's subtraction

the line is 0. above is minus, below is plus. it can be the other way around. it doesn't matter. math is like that.

you subtract the middle panel of each column from the bottom panel. the panel on top is the answer.

but it's not exact math. it's just asking you to think logically.

in the 2nd column, you'll see subtracting a small square from a large square will result in two small squares. it doesn't make sense but it doesn't matter. the 3rd column has the same result, so all you need to do is figure out the bottom panel that'll satisfy the same condition - "big square minus small square" so the answer is 1.

just send me the helium senpaitachi

>>9522572
for this one, you flip the first panel of each column vertically and merge it with the second panel of each panel, and you know when there are identical lines in both panels, they disappear (think of it as collision), so the result looks like the third panels of each columns.

>>9522576
two small boxes eat each other and leaves no boxes. But big boxes leave a small box regardless of what they eat, neither a big or a small box. So you have to put 2 rows of big boxes and two small boxes to make the first scene in the 3rd column.

Minus and plus logic applies for the first line based puzzle which involves hollow boxes.

>>9522533
>>9522566
So basically 34 is a trick similar to 29 (which I finally solved, once I stopped going mad about the big squares), and 35 is similar to 31 and 33 together.

35 is infuriating, because it forces you to do it vertically... while the others could be solved vertically and horizontally. (Hence the big trouble in question 35, if you took the habit to do stuff horizontally.)

>>9522680
well i exclusively resorted to vertical at around 24, it just seemed like the test was heading toward that direction

just took an online IQ test by randomly selecting whatever as fast as i could and scored above average.
IQ proves nothing

>>9521760
I got 138 so I'm not even that upset, but I was expecting IQ tests to be a bit more legitimate. It seems like a bunch of bullshit "think outside the box" questions. One either gets the trick or one doesn't. This process is, to some degree, logical (e.g. in the last problem, seeing the remnants of the little square reappear in the bottom left box basically gives one the answer), but also has a lot to do with one's ability to generate possible interpretations for the pictures.

The former skill is pretty easily learned: it's just a matter mostly of being observant and then following things to their conclusion. The latter skill seems like useless horseshit in this particular context: people tend to think creatively about things they find interesting, which, for everyone except perhaps autistic people, definitely does not include IQ tests.

Maybe this is why autistic people score higher than average? It honestly freaks me out that this sort of stuff is used to determine the future of our children.

I don't know is the answer - I'm sure improvements would have their limits, but again, if untrained, or unfamiliar with pattern recognition due to a lack of formal education, or a lifestyle that didn't require those capacities, I don't see why an improvement of a whole standard deviation is out of the realm of possibility even for such a person.

>>9523669
Isn't intelligence entirely about "pattern recognition", though?

>>9523713
I don't know, but I suspect not - apparently independent mental faculties like memory come to mind. If I bring up cognitive categories I'm assuming you'll tie them to pattern recognition somehow so I don't really want to have that conversation with another layman.

How is your question related to my post though?

>>9523669
the education system is for indoctrinating 90 iq plebs, not teaching them how to learn or see patterns

>>9523734
right, that might be, although I suspect that pattern recognition is still required in sciences and even as part of the indoctrination process. even if it isn't, how is that furthering the conversation about the possibility of improving IQ scores? are you socialising or something?

>>9523784
surely, being shown patterns, understanding the underlying rules that govern them, making abstractions and extrapolating from them would lead to some improvements. I am no pedagogue, but it seems more than plausible, in fact we do it every day in various disciplines.

I am not denying that there is an innate element to intelligence or pattern recognition, I am merely saying it's not static and training seems capable of improving it up to a certain threshold.

Can you recommend any literature that argues for its 'innate' quality and inability to improve it? or are you self-indulgently spouting opinions as facts?

I have read several. The best argument for your hypothesis seems to be that IQ scores don't vary by a factor larger than one standard deviation in one's lifetime, but this doesn't satisfy me as it's an observation devoid of rigorous factor analysis. Are there any studies that involve training designed to enhance one's scores, or any other thorough methodology that strengthens the argument for an innate or static IQ?

IQ tests are meant to assess your ABILITY in pattern recognition
if you train yourself by increasing your KNOWLEDGE of patterns via rote memorization, you're doing something akin to frauding. There have been several studies where the subject takes several IQ tests over a period of time and, like you said, the results stay within the standard deviation

>hurr i'm too lazy to actually inform myself so I'll try to discredit any opposing views while spouting retarded platitudes durr

>>9523846
>IQ tests are meant to assess your ABILITY in pattern recognition

I know what some claim they're meant to do. I disagree, I though I made that clear. I believe their strength lies in assessing your CURRENT ABILITY in pattern recognition which is highly correlated with other cognitive categories, thus making it an effective predictor for success (although, other psychological categories seemingly independent of intelligence can hinder success).

>There have been several studies where the subject takes several IQ tests over a period of time and, like you said, the results stay within the standard deviation
I've only seen the localising of IQ scores within the same standard deviation as a flippant observation of subjects' repeated testing over the course of their lives, but again, I'd be grateful if you could point me towards a study where improving IQ scores is a goal in itself. You seem to have read some, so please do share.

What is your problem mate? You socialising too? I was having a conversation about how static IQ is as I believe there is little evidence to suggest that's the case. As far as it being correlated with ability in other cognitive categories and by association occupations and consequently economic success to a lesser degree - there's no doubt about that. If you don't want to contribute to the variance debate that's fine, but socialise with your friends or parents, I'm not here to be either of them.

Does the rule change for each column? I mean, generally it's 'rotate, superimpose, remove overlap' or 'mirror, superimpose, remove overlap'. And the first column follows the former rule. But the second column, though it looks like it might follow the latter, doesn't, and can't follow the former. So it's operating on a different rule than column one, meaning a common pattern between the columns is absent, unless it's at another level of abstraction.

That could easily add 10-20 points to their score.
I think that 115-135 is a perfectly normal range for a board like this though.
Also, I scored nine points lower on this online test then I did in real life a few years ago, so it's not exactly a perfect test.

Honestly if you get to ~120 you're okay. At that level, with hard work (and luck and good upbringing and networking etc.) you can get to most places anyone with a good IQ could get to.

>The former skill is pretty easily learned: it's just a matter mostly of being observant and then following things to their conclusion. The latter skill seems like useless horseshit in this particular context: people tend to think creatively about things they find interesting, which, for everyone except perhaps autistic people, definitely does not include IQ tests.

This is a good point. It seems common for people to be dumbfounded when they're confronted with something they find boring or too far outside their range of experience. Like if you try to explain something computer related to an otherwise intelligent elderly person who's a bit technophobic, they sort of shut down and tune out what you're saying, so you have to go over it multiple times and they still don't get it, even though a millennial with an objectively low level of intelligence would understand right away.

You're literally the most attention-focused person here.
