Does IQ measure intelligence? Or is it fake?

IQ tests determine your intelligence and abilities on what you are being tested on. if you took some rando "test your IQ" test online, chances are you are being tested on pattern recognition and spacial reasoning with a sprinkle of math thrown in. """general"""" Intelligence is determined by how well you absorb and apply knowledge given to you. however, this is also flawed because intelligence is fundamentally contextual. an electrical engineer isn't the person you'd ask to help you fix your car. and a mechanic isn't the guy you'd ask to have your knee looked at.
>>
>>16363864
this guy is stupid

IQ tests measure general intelligence, or someones ability to operationalize information in real time. IQ is highly correlated with things like test scores generally and life outcomes. "Intelligence" as an abstract colloquial concept used in daily speech cannot be measured by any kind of test in the same way that kindness or sincerity cannot be measured by a test, and this creates confusion amongst the general population because the two terms are used interchangeably erroneously.

IQ scores above 140 provide diminishing returns, and IQ cannot be accurately measured above 160 (SD 15). 125 is the minimum required for "genius" or the ability to make breakthroughs in any domain in a decent amount of time and with a decent amount of work.

how does it feel knowing you'd get intelectually mogged by some barely literate redneck if the topic was sports trivia or automotive repair?
>>
>>16364125
I haven't done any research on what the see30 is but there is no way you're not completely full of shit since 0.91 reliability in measuring IQ beyond 160 would be impossible due to the incredibly tiny sample size of subjects to study beyond the 1/30000 mark

What SAT or GRE went beyond 163 or 160? They both capped out there.
>>
>>16364206
*intellectually
I wouldn't care because I could easily memorize a bunch of sports trivia or an automotive repair instruction manual but I have better things to do with my time. I have a friend who has 98 IQ (confirmed by the OSP-FSIQ) and he once had a compendium of aircraft facts memorized because he studied to be a pilot. I felt nothing even close to narcissistic injury upon learning this because I knew extensive training on a single task was no sign of general intelligence.

IQ 180+ here. (Don't even bother to ask for a proof)
Let me deboonk the most common midwit misconceptions about IQ.

>but intelligence is multifaceted
IQ tests numerical and symbolic pattern recognition, verbal comprehension, short term memory, spatial visualization and logical reasoning. Wanna add something? Then present a rigorous test and justify why it should be included in the definition of intelligence.
>but what about emotional intelligence, social intelligence, twerking skills, number of followers on tiktok/onlyfans
Sorry sweaty, we're measuring intelligence here, not your ability to copy NPC behaviour.
>why didn't you win a Nobel prize/Fields medal? IQ means nothing when you're a loser
Intelligence comes with no obligation to contribute anything to the industrial-technological system. Acadummic success is mainly determined by obedience and social networking. A shitload of midwits (and in social "sciences" even actual brainlets) have a PhD nowadays.
>but what is your IQ good for then?
IQ enables you to quickly learn, understand, connect and creatively play with abstract concepts and to analyze, question and improve theories. Unlike a midwit whose highest achievement is superficially regurgitating what he's told.
>but IQ is racist
No, IQ is a factual statement. It doesn't tell you morally how to treat others.
>if you're so smart why aren't you rich?
Because I wasn't born rich and our economy wants obedient workers, not smart workers. You don't get rich by being smart, you get rich by being popular and sociopathic.
>if you're so smart why don't you get laid?
Attractiveness is determined by looks and status. Women are generally anti-intellectual and think of an intelligent man as a nerd in the negative sense, unless he's a gigachad. I say this as a married man btw.
>isn't this just cope?
The only ones coping here are the IQ denialists. If they didn't need to cope they'd just accept that there are people who are rightfully proud of scoring high on the IQ test

you harping on "contextual" intelligence is nonsensical and is a literal asspull with no basis in reality. The speed with which you can learn in any context and the degree of achievement possible is heavily determined by IQ because, as stated earlier, IQ is a measure of general intelligence which is your ability to operationalize information, therefore in any context the person with the highest IQ (controlling for work ethic) will be the person with the greatest level of "contextual intelligence" amongst others in his field.

IQ tests are very culture specific. They measure what we think as "smart". In western cultures it's usually logic puzzles, word puzzles / vocabulary, memory and how good you are at arithmetic (and maybe some combinatorics).
If you agree that this constitutes the broad definition of intelligence than yes it does measure that. It does not measure quick thinking in survival situations, problem solving, methodology, etc that might be more valued in other cultures. It also has massive overlap with education (about 20-40%) and how prepared you are + stress (5%).
And if you wanna reach on the realm of genetics, all I'll say is that the skills tested are very compound in the way of what cognitive function there is, so thousands of genes are probably at play for each type of test.

I'm very happy you put this thought into words. As a child I tested over 130 in order to be accepted into gifted programs (wish I knew the actual number but whatever).
In my free time for the last decade I've studied a couple of fields of medicine and the theories I've synthesized from the mountains of information I've sought out align serendipitously with a few textbook authors (all practicing physicians) I've stumbled across. We've come to the same exact conclusions independently so must have found something worth pursuing.
When I attempt to have intelligent conversations in medical contexts (with doctors treating me) their eyes glaze over like the infamous fluoride stare and the responses I receive remind me of the beginning of Brave New World.

Their words are mere rote memorization, the equivalent of playing back a cassette tape, talking to an animatronic. They are glaringly obviously devoid of curiosity or the urge to seek out more knowledge than their classes passively crammed into them. Any deviation from the dichotomous keys implanted in their brains results in syntax error. They cannot produce an independent thought on any topic. Any attempt to introduce contradictory facts or evidence is simply ignored out of discomfort. Any attempt to prove a mistake has been made becomes a sharp slight to their ego and percieved intellectual authority. They are animals. They are below my intellectual level. I don't even mean that in an arrogant way. It is an observation. Somehow legions of midwits slip past increasingly low test standards.

IQ tests measure general intelligence (g factor in psychometrics) which correlates heavily with your ability to conduct abstract reasoning and apply knowledge to solve novel problems. Essentially if you're better than average at solving one set of novel problems, you're likely to be better than average at solving every set of novel problems

IQ is a talent. Some like to stress 'genetics' in the talent discussion.

IQ is a learnable skill. Although you may read some cases claiming that IQ and it's testing is impossible to learn, improve, prepare for, etc... You absolutely can prep and 'learn' the testing.

IQ has an aspect of 'wisdom'.

And this is another reason why IQ tests are garbage. Theyre just extremely poorly made.

Case and point, this anon >>16364171 found a pattern, that absolutely checks out, his logic is sound and the answer would be D.

But APPARENTLY, the person who designed the test had ANOTHER pattern in mind. That person was too stupid to make a test that only contained a single valid pattern/answer. Same problem with number sequences. You can find a math algorithm that all the numbers given follow, but oh no, you were supposed to find a different algorithm that all numbers also follow. Total incompetence by the people making the tests. Several factually correct reasonings and logics exist, but only the one the person making the test had in mind counts as correct. If you found another logic first youre just out of luck. Garbage tests.


And dont get me started about how 1/3d of the points in IQ tests are a vocabulary tests which measures knowledge not intelligence.... but even worse its done in english, even though there exists no standard agreement on what is or isnt a word in english, different english dictionaries disagree on what is or isnt a word. And yet they give you weird rare or made up words and ask you if its an english word or not, and SOMEHOW thats supposed to measure intelligence. Complete joke.

I think I got this one.
In grid 1 (top left one), there isn’t one black square. It’s actually two. Then in the second grid, we “push” one square by two places to the right, and the other one to the right only by two places. If a square reaches the end of a row, it moves to the one below it, and if it’s the last row, it moves back to the first row (sort of cyclic). So based on this algorithm I think it’s D.

This is an attempt to measure your crystallized intelligence by proxy. Also your complaint about matrix reasoning tests is valid and that's why gold standard IQ tests like the WAIS don't rely on them as much and attempt to directly measure things like spatial reasoning, math, verbal reasoning, and memory by interrogating those abilities directly with tasks like rotating shapes, solving math problems mentally, solving word puzzles, and having you rapidly memorize things during the test. IQ tests like the Wonderlic or RAIT merely measure IQ by proxy (this is also why different IQ tests do not correlate to one another with 100% accuracy. Different tests WILL give you different scores, sometimes radically so)
