To do well in life you just need an IQ slightly above average. A very high IQ grants you no more success than a person with slightly above average IQ. Having success in life also heavily depends on your social skills., which IQ-test dont measure.
@saainnigampen you are right on. i know this guy who is so charming and smart whever he goes knows who and how to talk to people whithin months he is a manager. he doesnt care if he lossoes his job, he can get another one and within months he is the manager over there, he has been to prison and robs things from the plces he works, he can talk his way out of anything.
@sonofhendrix Very true. However, some of the greatest scientific discoveries have been attributed to individuals with average iq scores. Creativity and asking the right questions is also very important.
its the british brain washing cooperation, so dont expect it to be scientific or accurate. A standard timed iq test is all that's needed, this will measure the ability to learn.
If you look at intelligence, and lifespan, there problably is a relation.However, what is interesting is that people who hit pubery "later" (most intelligent people, average east asian person) are the same ones who live longer. It could be that their whole life goes "Slower". It would be interesting to see if they have a lower heartrate too. Animals with a high heartrate usually live 'short'lives in year(mice etc), while animals with a low heartrate (usually slower too)life a longer year
What the hell does vocabulary and general knowledge got to do with intelligence? Sure, intelligent people usually have large vocaubluaries, but that doesn't mean they know every single word there is. Even a dumb person can know how far the Earth is from the Sun if you just tell him the fact.
@Zaphenath4 Exactly, that’s exactly why I think the WAIS test is not an accurate measurement for intelligence. An intelligence test should not by any means measure knowledge and then connect it with intelligence, as it’s two entirely different terms representing two entirely different properties of the mind. The Raven’s Progressive Matrices is a better indicator of accurate intelligence measuring – it does not rely upon testing knowledge, facts or anything not related to ‘intelligence’.
No and no. Intelligence isn't the same as a high IQ score. By doing the test over and over you will get higher scores, but you won't get any smarter. If you're sleepy, your IQ score will be lower, but it has no real effect on how intelligent you are. We should come up with a better test, but as of now a good IQ test is a decent representation of someone's verbal, logical and mathematical abilities.
IQ does matter. There are some types of intelligence that are more useful than others. For example, the intelligence of a physicist, engineer, architect, or computer scientists is what enables us to be a technologically advanced society, it's why we have cars, bridges, skyscrapers, airplanes, computers, phones, etc. Without the intelligence of these people, we'd still be in the stone age, hunting for animals using spears and living in mud huts. So their type of intelligence is most important..
I totally agree with you :) Well, not 100%, but I wont get in to that. I'm good at all of the sciences/fields of work that you listed. Actually; I developed a new way of thinking about the universe. Creativity = Fine arts. Pleasing the people. Intelligence = Ability to work with things. Working for others on their problems. Creativity + intelligence = Steps forward. Creating new things that work, that other people can work on too.
A lot is about test anxiety. When I took my first IQ test, I was extremely nervous, and was stressed because of the time limits. I got 120-130 on that one. But on the one that I relaxed and worked with the time instead of against it... I received much better results. If I tell you what I got, you wouldn't believe me though :)

excuses and other kinds of abilities aside, if you look at history many of the greatest most influential people had very high iq.

We have to come up with a better test... peoples lives are being trashed cause of one bad test.

@kiikasi I would disagree with you there. Creativity is also required for problem solving which is needed for science.

I would agree IQ doesn't tell how smart you are but in this world, it does.

Of course IQ scores increase, intelligence is expandable.
Does Lenovo give intelligence tests to potential employees? Superior hiring strategy.

Smartest man was not Johan von Goethe, it was William James Sidis, with a score actually immeasurable, but at least over 300.
gsus113 2 years ago
300? i dought,i thought that the smartest being was a human female that took the test in the fifties...anyway it wouldnt differ
there might be a kid living in a farm in the end of the world with a 350 IQ ....mysterious world...
