Funniest shit ever on Getbig!: Jaguar Enterprises claims 160 IQ!

Hey, that's cool. I won't now exclude YOU for disagreeing with me. 

You big monkey penis.

[IFBBwannaB]

  This is what you just did. You reduced their brilliance to an idiot savant skill with no relevance besides playing chess well and doing well on IQ tests. Unfortunately for you, being able to play chess well and to do well on IQ tests also indicates that a person will also be good at understanding a physical concept, solving a differential equation, compreheding medical science, understanding the principles behind how the space shuttle works and how to run a business effectively. Playing chess well and getting high scores at IQ tests means that you will do well at any intellectual field(s) you choose.

Your immense IQ lack the ability to understand what you read, me saying that the visualizations objects and such aren't to be thought as the greatest thing since sliced bread doesn't mean I deny the fore mentioned people are smart.
My point that you totally missed is that the tests can reflect a small part of someone IQ and not to be taken too seriously.

BTW I bet those savants that can count leaves of trees can probably ace that Mentsa posted puzzle quite.

[Croatch]

When I got a 98 on my IQ test, my parents told me I was a genius.  Are you guys saying it's actually possible to score higher than 100?

[Zaphod]

the IQ is a pointless test. and i say that as someone who's a bit on the upper end of the curve. if i felt like a high score meant fuck all i'd be more than happy to toss it out like a defensive squid shooting ink, but as far as i'm concerned if you're at the point where your "defense" is to mention your IQ, you're basically saying "i had the potential to be really smart, but somehow i still ended up dumb as a brick."

  Here is where you're wrong, dipshit. The ability to tell which number or figure follows a sequence is the greatest thing since sliced bread, because "intelligence" is the capacity to deduce logically, and that is exactly what tests that use number and figure sequences measure. So it does not mesure a small part of intelligence, but the very essence of it. The Raven Advanced Progressive Matrices is a test that is composed of nothing but sequences of figures, and it is considered the purest test intelligence there is. Consider yourself schooled, moron.

Consider yourself ignorant, I don't know what is your formal educational background but deduction of series is one of the most basic courses in algebra I have personally used some techniques I learned from those courses when I fiddled with these sorts of tests here and there.

So lets assume I have an identical twin that by your theory is supposed to be as smart as I, since he never took those courses he can be 10-20 points more stupid than me?

  Wow, what an incredible moron you are. What has algebra to do with this in the first place? We are talking about sequences of figures and numbers, which have nothing to do with algebra. You don't need any training in mathematics whatsoever to score very well on the Raven Progressives Matrices, because it doesen't require any math knowledge whatsoever. I can see that you obviously have a low IQ, which is why you are so bitter.

So lets assume I have an identical twin that by your theory is supposed to be as smart as I, since he never took those courses he can be 10-20 points more stupid than me?

  No, because taking courses in maths has no bearing on your score, moron. Try to understand this: IQ tests do not require any math knowledge from you besides being able to count. There are guys without a college education that get higher IQ scores than the majority of PhD mathematicians. An example? Christopher Michael Langan, who scored 174+ on the Mega Test without having a single year of college, a score that was higher than that of all 300 PhD mathematicians who took the test. So once again, you fail.

This pissing contest is proving something about intelligence. A smarter guy might be able to figure out what it was. 

[swilkins1984]

exactly, intelligent people are social outkasts because they recoqnize every joke from an intellectual point of view and miss the whole point.

I personally have an IQ of 83 (Not black)

He actually went to a "liberal arts institution" - college for some time.

WTF are you talking about you fucking idiot? Research proves that intelligent people are on average actually M O R E socially intelligent and more successful in practically EVERY area of life compared to those less intelligent. That moronic stereotype (that intelligent people lack social skills) that you subscribe to has been severely destroyed by research, and the complete opposite = true.

[suckmymuscle]

  No, he dropped out after one semester. Regardless, my point still stands because he lacks even undergraduate training in math, and yet he outscored all PhDs in math who took the test, which is prima fasce evidence that training in mathematics does not correlate with IQ test performance.

Debussey does not agree completely. Remember, 40 - 80% of IQ is probably genetic in nature, and 20% related to "teh environment". Doing math give you some training in analyzing problems and planning a solution which could translate into a few % quicker thinking + better concentration when being faced with problems one does not have much knowledge about on beforehand. (thus scoring better on "speed IQ tests").
Thus, doing a ton of math might help you gain a point or 3 on your IQ score, thus a small correlation might exist (although this is somewhat speculative on Debusseys part). Fuck, a lot of different things have correlated with boosting your IQ score somewhat, like short term memory training for example, and other mental exercises.

Addition: Even having done a lot of mental aritmetic will probably give you a slight advantage on the number sequences due to being able to analyze the number sequences a bit quicker. The correlation might not be strong, but its at least not something one can rule out (unless you have some research on this)

At the same time, Chris Langan beat those PH.D's because he flat out has better genes for brainpower than them. At the same time, Langan has taught himself advanced mathematics and other other advanced academic disciplines without going to college/university, so it is not like he does not have a lot experience with math and other academic areas although he = missing the "formal training". (Attending class is a waste of time anyway, you can learn pretty much anything much quicker by yourself than listening to some slow ass teacher mumbling for 2 hours about something you can grasp within 10 minutes on your own).

I just took 2 different IQ tests and I had 2 different scores, a 20 point difference...
So how do i know which one is accurate?

You should only trust professional IQ tests administred by a psychologist, and the MENSA admissions test (plus the online Mensa test like www.IQtest.dk).

"People with IQs between 75 and 90 are 88 times more likely to drop out of high school, seven times more likely to be jailed, and five times more likely as adults to live in poverty than people with IQs between 110 and 125. The 75-to-90 IQ woman is eight times more likely to become a chronic welfare recipient, and four times as likely to bear an illegitimate child than the 110-to-125-IQ woman."


The black avg IQ = 85

[jetpower]

Debussey disagrees. Many people with top 2% IQ's = not "wildly successful". In the local Mensa chapter where Debussey lives, most members are students or regular workers not earning a "very high salary" (IQ does correlate with income, but Fags and Vinces chosen line of work = not a suitable way to discredit their IQ claims).  It might be a little bit different in the states though.

Both Fags and Vinces are sub 100 -- IQ and EQ.

[The Master]

This is what the IQ site says about Debussey and Debusseys IQ of 53:

(2) An IQ between 50 and 75. At this level of intelligence, they generally cannot complete elementary school. Most adults will need smarter help in coping with the world.

-> This explains why Debussey lives in its parents basement 24/7.

Employment options for people with an IQ of 50 - 60: Very simple tasks, close supervision

-> Debussey does not have a job.

More classifications: Below 70: Definite feeble-mindedness. Defective: 65 and below. 50-69: Moron.

-> DAMMIT!

do it the getbig way...take whichever one is higher, and add 50 points

[evandatp]

Guys - that's 160 Canadian. 

Which still makes it about 157 U.S.

[evandatp]

of course, i'm also pretty sure the only reason to be in Mensa is so you can say "i'm a member of Mensa".

So?

It's the same reason any getbigger drop the words "I'm a known getbig poster, actually." at cocktail parties.

That wasn't hard, I'll give you a harder version of that test (asked in some job interviews over here) :

4 people have to cross a dark tunnel by the following rules:

1.They each take a different time to cross the tunnel : 1,2,4,5 hours.

2.They must cross it with the flashlight on, there is only one flashlight with batteries for 12 hours in it.

3.The tunnel is narrow so only 2 can cross at the same time.

<= (1 & 2)
=> (1)
<= (4 & 5)
=> (2)
<= (1 & 2)

2+1+5+2+2=12
