aren't IQ tests the same?
You just learn how to solve some kind of problems (series of images, series of numbers and so on) etc.
This obviously does not make you "smarter", it just makes you good at solving some kind of puzzles.
But "smart" is ill defined and vague anyway..
- sgift 7y agoThat's the reason all real IQ tests (not the ones you find on the internet, the real ones) are secret/closely guarded: Knowing the tests beforehand skews the results. So: yes, it is the same in that way and has been theorized as one of the reasons for the Flynn effect. Afaik there's also research into new types of IQ tests to mitigate this all the time, but a good IQ test has higher requirements than the typical interviewing test, so it takes longer.
