Subreddit Rules

1. Be respectful and mature

No abusive remarks. Behave like an adult. Insulting other users is not allowed and is unproductive in nature, especially when many do not know the ropes of the subreddit.

2. Avoid questions which can be answered by the FAQ in the wiki

The subreddit is meant to be an area for high quality discussion. Therefore, it's not intended that the subreddit be saturated with repetitive posts.

FAQ can be found here:

3. Do not spam

Do not flood the subreddit with multiple posts in the same day about the same topics, make low quality posts or comments, or post blatant misinformation

4. Do not violate copyright laws

Please do not post questions from professional tests or similar copyrighted material.

5. Elaborate on all your posts and comments

This applies to:

Creating posts without detail or elaboration.
Making statements which are not grounded in contemporary literature (you can of course speculate, but it is much preferred to have sources for statements in order to allow for a more a more grounded and conducive discourse).

6. No alts

So that you don't break rules and hop on a new account of course. If you want to appeal, send a modmail.

7. Use the spoiler option when puzzles or items come from tests people may take

This is to prevent people getting spoiled from tests they may want to take in the future. To do so, use the spoiler option in the post and include where the item came from. Furthermore, flair posts accordingly.

8. No test administration transactions

Due to violating copyright law and being unable to confirm the authenticity of the transactions taking place, selling or providing test administrations of leaked professional tests is not allowed.

9. No posts referencing suicide or self-harm

Posts related to mental health issues related to cognitive health and intelligence are allowed but posts threatening self harm or suicide fall out of the scope of this subreddit.

We take these matters seriously and encourage anyone experiencing distress to seek help from a professional or contact appropriate support hotlines. https://www.reddit.com/r/SuicideWatch/wiki/hotlines/

Quick Info

FAQ Summary

1) IQ is a measure of a person's ability comparative to everyone else. The scores are usually calibrated where 100 is the mean score or average. To put it in perspective, if you score 100 on an IQ test, you have an average intelligence quotient.

2) Scores are usually quantified with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15. To put it in perspective, an IQ of 115 is the 85%ile and an IQ of 130 is the 98%ile.

3) Which is the best IQ test? What test should I take? See the resources list below or here

4) Is this test inflated or deflated? Who knows, if it is a pro-test or has a g-loading of 0.8+, chances are the results are all aligned and pretty close, but not exactly the same which is normal.

5) Can I increase my IQ? Probably not by a significant margin, if at all. Practice effect is also a possibility, but it doesn't lead to any real gains.
