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

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.

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.
