Are IQ tests truly generalized and accessible enough that education doesn’t affect one’s performance? Personally, I’ve been exposed to years of standardized testing in the educational system and developed skills specifically at taking tests.
- informatimago 8y agoThe fact that you developed those skills shows that you've got a few IQ points... Some other may not have them.
- lihaciudaniel 8y agoBut the point isn't to develop skill but see your brain natural talent of resolving complex problems, mastery of one own psychology is advantageous also.
- Filligree 8y agoWhich is besides the point. Yes, having higher intelligence often means you'll benefit more from practice, but GP was asking of the tests were good enough that there's no practice benefit at all. Which is false.
- arethuza 8y agoYes, as a young kid I had an older sibling who was studying educational psychology so I spent a lot of time doing "intelligence" tests - I just thought they were interesting puzzles and didn't realise I was being continually tested.
