Haha. "IQ". A numbered score given after answering a few short problems administered in a high-pressure situation. Oh, IQ; woe. If I take a second to sit down

Haha. "IQ". A numbered score given after answering a few short problems administered in a high-pressure situation. Oh, IQ; woe.
If I take a second to sit down with my peers (20's) and really talk, all sorts of funny things come out of their mouths which really invite me to think about intelligence in a different way. You wouldn't believe the insights-- from every angle possible.
Who gives a damn about IQ anymore? Who is anybody to equate it with intelligence? What is intelligence? I say: you don't know and I don't know, and who cares!
- mzl 8y agoA real IQ test (i.e., WAIS-IV or similar) is a lot more than just a few short problems, it takes several hours and is done one on one with a trained psychologist. The test used by Mensa (as an example many think about when they hear IQ test) is a simple test that has shown reasonably stable correlation with IQ, but it is not a real IQ test.
- dmichulke 8y agoIQ is just a proxy, so seeing it as such I don't have such high expectations because I try not to confuse it with intelligence per se. This happens all the time, GDP is another fantastic example. Let's try to educate people that proxies are not the real thing, not condemn the measures - because it's not their fault :-)
