      I started taking some of their Iq tests, and the little cheats don't put up a single correct answer on their visual memorization problems

        The correct answers were there when I took them XD

        There are actually normed quite well, and are set up and score very similar to a real test.

        We should have a debate about the problems of measuring intelligence accurately.
        It could make a good debate, but I don't think anyone intelligent could seriously refute what I already said in my final paragraph <_>

        In order to test 'IQ' you have to define intelligence, which...I don't think anyone has properly defined yet. Thus IQ tests test what is on the test itself, and how well you fair at the test, not necessarily how intelligent you are.

        This is definitely not an intelligence test XD even though its setup is much like something like the megatest, the questions are more biased.


        What I think IQ tests do well is test within the normal range. They are very good at doing 3 things: 1. Telling you if you're retarded 2. Telling you if you're average intelligence 3. Telling you if you're above average intelligence.
        Beyond this they're fairly useless. High level IQ is very poorly understood. Also, you often have ceiling syndrome on tests where scores near the ceiling get screwed up. For example, I took a test and scored 148 on it. At this stage, it means i'm higher than 99.93% of the populations scores. This becomes a huge problem on nearly every test, because now that means that each question I answer correctly will inflate my score tenfold because you're not really 'supposed' to score this high in the first place- you've wandered off too far from the mean. So I could get one more question right and score like, 156, or two more right and 164. Two questions certainly arn't worth more than an entire standard deviation in intelligence XD

        Also, any tests that have attempted to fix this have in doing so, created other problems I won't discuss now, but yea, we're still pretty 'noob' at testing intelligence.

          I may have an answer for 3, but I have no way of knowing if it is right. If I'm not mistaken, they corrected an error in #2 putting negative signs on both balloons.

            Note the top left four squares.

            I've already sent out an e-mail to the higher ups, they're reviewing their test.

              #2 is confusing. Does it matter where the weights are, or simply what side they are on?

                Rofl. Wow, nice find. I hope they arn't all like that xD

                Or maybe that's why I can't seem to break 140-145 on their test >.> I swear, I'll be like, I got every single question right I think, other than maybe the memory ones, and then get like, 142.

                For those I usually just look at the whole thing really, and then when the selections come up I quickly pick the one I think it is.

                    Re: Are you the world's smartest person?

                    Finally got 24...

                    So far I have 10 for sure, and 2-3 half done. 13 is being dumb :\

                    I think I'll be able to get 15 of these total. Some I'm just not doing, like number 2, unless there is some magical way that takes out all the math work, I really don't feel like it. Even though I probably could get it if I spent the time.

                    ps here is a hint for 24, read the title

                    just got number 7, it was pretty easy... 11 100% complete, 4 that I'm slightly unsure of but I have arrived at a conclusion of some sort...

                      I noticed the typo in the title a longggggggg time ago. First time I looked at it. Which gave me some leads but nothing worked, so...meh.

                      I'm at like 16 done but havn't made any progress.

                        14 fully gotten
                        4 more almost there

                        It would be cool to get 20 of them.

                        Finally figured out number 20 13 is still being a bitch

                          This should work for 25. <unbenannt.gif> The lines don't go over the borders like the one posted before.

                          Started a week ago, got 1, 2, 3, 5, 15, 17, 22 and 25 now. Haven't tried the others yet. Hope to get 15 in total.

                          8 and 20 look a bit strange to me...

                                You know what, nevermind these are total nerd questions, I can't raise my brain level that high without telepathically killing someone.
                                You know, like when Xavier controls cerebro, he can kill anyone by thinking about them too hard. That's me, but cerebro=hard questions, and I kill a random person....it's too risky.
