GMI??

IQ tests do not relate to creative ability.
I think?
>>
Forgot to add, I think the dumber you are, the better you are at art simply because you wont overthink shit in the way this test forces you to.
>>

I mostly agree, it's just that being able to visualize shapes in your head and rotate them should help a lot with figuring out anatomy when you don't have a clear reference.
Plus, it probably helps with learning some things faster.

>>8035850
I'm pretty sure most top artists have an above-average IQ. I don't have any data to back this up, but on a basic level, having the raw brainpower to think logically and problem-solve gives you all the tools you need to draw the way you want.
>>
i got 8 of 10, as two seemed to take more time than i wanted to spend

>>8035850
its not a great test, but im not sure it forces any over thinking, its just youi need to do some exclusionary visualization for a few to find the ones that dont clearly work
>>
>>8035851
art works on many levels. you can be dumb as a rock and make good art.
it is what it is.
>>
>>8035852
True, using logic helps with the answers. But if I had used my pen to map these problems out, it would have been much much easier. When you're drawing, it's more visual than mental - for me at least. I don't remember the last time I needed to net a cube while drawing, might 10+ years ago.
I suppose a trad artist would benefit from training this way, but not by much.

>>8035851
TL;DR Looking good > Looking correct - this is the dumber artist's advantage.
When I said "dumber," I really meant thinking simpler and focusing on the big picture. Creativity needs mental working memory - holding all your puzzle pieces in your head at once while working on a drawing- not rigid, hyper-logical overthinking.

Drawing gets stiff, flat, and boring when you treat art like a math equation with a "correct" way to lay a line, build a form, or pick a color. That strict logic kills the joy and causes half-finished, muddy pieces in my experience. You have to get into a flow state where your hand just follows what looks good rather than what’s categorically correct, and this test is testing for 1 correct answer only. Intuition beats dry logic every time when you're trying to draw with soul.

i got 7/10 too, mesed up nr 3 because of reading comprehension, 8 because i got confused about which vertex should line up with the top thing (lol) and 10 because i just picked the one that looked most likely without thinking much
not a good test taker
kind of disappointing but at least i got the dices right
>>
>>8035943
figured i'd score below 50th percentile
>>
>>8035845
9/10 I rushed the last one. was pretty easy. I can solve a rubik's cube(rather, a chink speedcube) in 15 seconds
>>
>>8035844
I've got 8 on 10. I almost tryharded.

>>8035849
Why would not be related? How can you even figure out forms if you are garbage at this?

I got the sixth question wrong (top down view of the figure).
Pleased to know that I have a pretty good spatial reasoning ability.
>>
>spatial reasoning test
>the radio buttons are evenly spaced between two answers
Part of the test, I suppose. Straightforward 10/10. It required careful attention, but it wasn't otherwise difficult.
>>
what impact, if any, does this have on your artistic talent if you're not drawing stuff from imagination?
>>
>>8036052
If you don't draw you can feel good about the fact you scored high because it means you would be good at drawing if you ever decided to.
>>
>>8036055
well it really doesnt, might correlate with a faster and more accurate first stage of sketching, big deal when thats 5% of the way to a finished work

the actual advantage would be if it made drawing more fun, it might, i wouldnt know
>>
>>8036060
I think it's more like if you have poor spatial reasoning, you're more likely to make structural mistakes that you don't notice at all.

this test is weak
try this: https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/FSIQ/

>>8036052
I don't think spatial reasoning really has any effect on your ability to draw. Even when drawing without references, the issue for 99.99% of people is getting the image in their head onto the paper, not conjuring an image to begin with.
>>
This is just more shit to give yourself anxiety over. If you're gonna make a bullshit thread at least post an interesting OP image so scribble-chan can draw something.
>>
>>8036109
> not conjuring an image to begin with.
You'd be surprised. It's not something I've found to be well-documented, but with all the aphantasia self diagnosers, this is definitley a significant issue, for myself also. A lot of my "training" was developing routines to iterate through an image multiple times to see what works, I simply can't imagine it mentally until I have enough of the pieces in front of me.

I also scored 10/10 on this. Go figure.
>>
>>8036109
Spatial IQ 141
Verbal IQ 106
Makes sense because learning languages is basically impossible for me.

OP here. This is what I scored on this test a year ago lol.
(My verbal IQ is so low because I'm a dirty ESL who can read English well, just not write it).
>>
7 out of 10, but interestingly, I only failed the questions I second guessed on. So the reality is, I scored a 10/10 and I'm smarter than I realize.
>>
>>8035844
Got them all. I'm a terrible fucking artist. I can't learn for shit.
>>
>>8036158
The spatial portions of this were interesting.
>>
>>8036192
The test doesn't measure your art skill, it just shows your potential ceiling. If you scored 10/10, you can definitely reach a high level if you stick with it. (Though there are other factors, so idk).
>>
>>8036109
i got >135 spatial on that one when i did it, more than an year must have passed, i dont want to do it because i am probably worse...
also got >100 verbal iq even though i am esl
>>
Did OP phiq?

istg I didn't cheat I'm really shocked 'cause I'm still a /beg/
