"World's smartest kid" solves rubik's cube

Nice job media! A video titled "Wolrd's smartest kid" and yet they showed him playing with Rubik's Revolution. :fp That shattered the whole genious thing to me. :P

Anyway, good for him!
 
I truly stopped believing in IQ tests when I started outsmarting the "geniuses" *cough* jerks *cough* that scored high on them. But whatever, what do you think?

Thay are serious IQ test ran by psychologues, that provide interesting information if you are serious enough in interpret them (like being aware that IQ is just a test of a relatively restreint set of capabilities of our brain, but many others are just not tested by IQ test, and probably cannont be tested with a simple score).

They is also what TV call IQ test but actually are just crap having the simple role of showing the spectator what ha wanna see. It's always the same. These IQ test are not serious and, also, having an high IQ don't don't makes you automatically a jerk.

EDIT: I see that people are making fun of IQ for children. These tests actually exists and are not the same than tests for grown up. Anyway, I highly doubt that we are in presence here of a serious IQ test. Just some kind of crap to produce a stupid show on TV.

i just want to say something about iq tests
did you all know that no matter how much all the peoples in the world will get smarter by the years the average Will stay at 100.
that because its fixxed
beside that iq is a test that measures your intelligent quantity in relative to your own age group
hmmm that means that if this kid will not keep on getting smarter relatively
to how smart he is now compared to the rest of the 7 year old kids getting smarter by the years
than the kid's iq will get lower
thats why doing 1 iq test in a lifetime when you are a 2nd grader is kinda stupid
 
I hate that almost everyone relates IQ to how smart you are.
IQ only tests your problem solving abilities.
The majority of people with high IQs would be considered stoopid by a lot of people because they tend to have almost no common sense.

True.

Almost true. IQ test also memory, spatial visualisation, and some others stuff more or less related to problem solving. Again, I'm dealing with real IQ tests, ran by psychologues.

Wrong. This is totally unrelated to IQ actually.

You did the begining well, you should have stopped then.
 
Someone at work sent me this as well. Whatever IQ the kid has, one can only hope that he puts his intelligence to good use.
 
The question is: did he figured out by hisself at the age of 7 how to solve a rubiks?
If he really did it himself I would be really impressed...
 
Looks Indian to me. South Indian to be specific. Those guys down there have abnormally high IQs. Check this guy out: http://www.freewebs.com/bernett/

This is kinda old, but they update it every now and then.
Really interesting to watch. Pay attention to the part where they mention Asia, especially the India part.


They mentioned that this guy is an Indian? I dunno, I couldn't hear the first vid. My sound system's busted. And to the person who said this was biased, well, he kinda reminded me of this one kid i saw once. The kid was retarded and all, but he had a killer IQ. He used to do 9th grade math and chemistry and all in the 6th grade. I'm not really sure about the rest of the world, but at least in india, it's a known fact that people with origins from south india are naturally intelligent and all. Some, abnormally so.

Retards with certain skill that surpasses a normal person is called an Idiot Savant. Kim, the man who was portrayed in the movie "Rain Man," is an Idiot Savant with photographic memory, for example.

Also, in that video, there was no speaking. Only text.
It said that 25% of India's population with the highest IQ is greater than the total population of the United States.

I know it's not the same, since the US has fewer people, but it's just interesting, as is the rest of the video.

I've spent a lot of time with a large array of people with high IQs (Physics at university and I seem to collect intelligent friends) and from my experience none that I can think of have had high common sense and many have had almost none.
