Cuber's IQ

[Chrish]

Sorry I have an IQ of 364, I don't need to answer you.

But I'll define it as the capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding. Someone's IQ might be 40 and another might be 180. One might be very uneducated and therefore didn't learn what is needed to know to answer the questions. There are homeless people (for example, their parents were very poor and the guy didn't have the same opportunities as say you or myself) that have a great brain capacity for learning and reasoning. But if it wasn't fed it won't grow, but his intelligence would (or could) be the same as the guy that got 180.

Second edit - Basically I mean knowledge isn't directly tied to intelligence. So one person might have a higher intelligence than another, but just not as educated.

Just thought I'd leave this here, cause it's kind of relevant

If I remember right, mines is about 129-130

1. IQ tests are designed to not test knowledge/education.
2. You don't really know what IQ 40 means, do you?

 

[Chrish]

Well, I know an IQ of 70 is retardation, so I don't even know how measurable an IQ of 40 is.

Yes it does. Oh... wait... maybe not to you. Sorry.

Imagine, people would actually like you if you dropped the whole "Sarcasm tough guy" act.

Implying nobody likes him?

I think Stefan's points are very valid. Also, if you (read: anybody) take his "criticisms" and just accept it and learn from it, I'm sure you'll come out a better person. Stefan is quite "liked" around here by enough people to make your point invalid. The people who don't like him are people who try to argue against his logic.

So why are you arguing that one with an iq of 40 could be more intelligent than someone with 180?

Because my IQ is 40.

 

[skatemaster78]

I've scored 150 on a computerized test that had 40 questions and there was a time limit, but it wasn't from a certified person.

But how would I entertain myself then?

And yeah, just keep avoiding the question, even though it's a simple yes/no question. If you really think IQ says "nothing" about intelligence, then your answer should simply be "yes". But I guess you've seen the follow-up question already and aren't ready to answer it.

Also, even if IQ tests don't measure intelligence at all, they can still say something about it. Just like pirates and global warning don't really have much to do with each other, and yet there's a correlation (*).

(*) I'm fairly certain that statistic is made up, but I hope you do get the point. Another example would be that Sleeping with one's shoes on is strongly correlated with waking up with a headache. Even though your shoes don't measure your head, if I see you sleeping with shoes on, there's good reason to assume you're more likely to wake up with a headache than when you sleep without your shoes on.

all the cubers that have poster are gifted

I do have a poster but I did not get that as a gift, I bought it myself.

LMAO .

Mr. Pochmann wins thread.

Mr. Pochmann wins thread.

C'mon Dene... I actually paid money to have the "Pochmann" dropped from my username, and you're still calling me that?

If you dedicate yourself to a goal, you can accomplish anything. Intelligence/talent just make the goal easier.

 

[CubesOfTheWorld]

124. I take one yearly.

 

[goatseforever]

I've never taken an IQ test before. What benefit does one exactly derive from knowing their IQ score?

 

[bluedasher]

I have an official IQ of 124. Somehow I aced the verbal/social skills part of the test (98%). Yet, I bombed the visual/spacial skills part of the test (68%). How do I bomb the visual/spacial skills part of the test when that is Rubik's cube? Ironic in my opinion.

 

[LewisJ]

Because it's not in percent?

Because you missed the joke?

 

[Lorken]

I doubt any of the internet ones are correct, I took 2 tests like 3 years ago (this guy wanted to prove he was smarter than me) and I got above 150 (for both), that can't be right. The closest to proper one I have done was the last time we had a test the nation, I got 136

 

[JackJ]

I've never taken one before, so I took a free one on iqtest.com and got a score of 118. Which is about average for my age group.
