| Gnizmo said: Why aren't you still banned? I could go into a long schpeel about the actual valid uses of IQ tests and why it no internet based one will ever be an accurate or valid measure of anything but I don't have the energy. Essentially IQ is just a nerdy dick measuring contest and little more. |
Even the valid uses of proffesional ones... aren't that valid.
Except for conning people into joining Mensa. I swear the real point of Mensa is just to show that no matter how high your IQ is, you can still have either low self esteem or little common sense.
Oh, the reason why by the way everyone does so well on IQ tests is so people will feel good and buy the $29.99 "expert breakdown" of your intellegence.
The real screw with your head one is the kids IQ test for very young children.
One of them you are supposed to name how many animals are there are... and there is a zebra, and elphant, a duck and a fucking unicorn.
I don't even know what's the right answer. 4 or 3? I guess a unicorn would be an animal, but at the same time, it's not a real animal, but is a kid going to even know that... it's not like unicorns are that unbeliveable they're just horses with a spike on their head.
That's the problem with a lot of even the official IQ tests though.
They test your assosiations, and that varies by your culture and just how you were raised.
