True, but since virtually no one takes IQ tests on a daily basis, the IQ test is still a valid measure of one's intelligence (or potential, I don't really know what IQ is supposed to measure).
- gohrt 13y agoPeople who score high on IQ tests do take IQ tests (or similar puzles on a daily basis). > I don't really know what IQ is supposed to measure Neither does anyone else.
- clarkm 13y agoThey attempt to measure the theoretical concept of generalized intelligence, known by psychometricians as g. They're obviously not perfect, but they're better than anything else we have.
- Tehnix 13y ago>People who score high on IQ tests do take IQ tests (or similar puzles on a daily basis). not necessarily, on an official test, I scored 140 (which I'd consider high), and I don't do any puzzles or similar at all. that said, obviously an IQ test is not perfect, but, I'd argue a high score is a good indication that a person is relatively intelligent. Middle scores and below can be attributed to a lot of other things (distractions, etc etc), but, the high score is still indicative of your brains capabilities. If that made sense?
