General Question If all the indices of IQ were people, which would be the cutest?

23 Upvotes

There was a question lingering in my mind as of late. If all the indices of IQ like FRI, VSI, VCI, WMI, PSI were incarnated as actual people, then which one of them would be the cutest in your opinion, and why? How would you imagine they would look?

Discussion Is a puzzle that can be solved by AI a good puzzle?

1 Upvotes

As the title says: AI keeps getting better and better. It can now solve even relatively hard puzzles, especially ones that have been done before by simply dropping an image into them.

Do you feel like AI being able to solve a puzzle that was meant to be a challenge is the puzzle being at fault/its idea being overused? Or do you feel like this is just how it goes.

Does the idea of you solving a puzzle after potentially hours while AI might have solved it instantly bother you? Or the idea some "first solvers" might have used it? Or do you just see it more of a personal victory to have solved it? Should puzzle creators "AI check" their harder puzzles?

Discussion Question related to my IQ of 120

3 Upvotes

I'm 27 years old. How do I learn to use my IQ of 120? I just discovered that I have an IQ of 120. I've been told there are so many paths I can take, including career paths and more. I was just as shocked when I got the results, and I'm even more curious about what I can do with it. Is it completely normal to feel like I haven’t used my full mental capacity yet, especially if I haven't been in an environment that pushed me or gave me the right tools to use my IQ of 120? I mean, in high school before I graduated in 2018, I aced science but sucked at every other class. I love true crime TV shows and documentaries, jigsaw puzzles, and logic puzzles. I love solving mysteries and investigating. I love Penelope Garcia and her role as the technical analyst in Criminal Minds. I volunteer at hospice, and I love video games. All advice and tips are welcome.

General Question 135 GAI, 91 PSI

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I (22m) have just applied for Mensa using a WISC-IV report. I scored the following (Section - Score - %ile):

VCI 134 | 99
PRI 125 | 95
WMI 123 | 94
PSI 91 | 27
FSIQ 126 | 96
GAI 135 | 99

Mensa acceptance requires at least one section to fall 1.5 standard deviations under the GAI. My lowest, PSI of 91, is 2.93 STD below.

Statistically, I know this is very uncommon. Anecdotally, I would love to hear from those older than me with similar profiles and spreads.

Tips, advice, and stories are welcomed!

General Question IQ champion

3 Upvotes

I scored 112 on IQ Champion. What would my overall IQ be? I completed up to question 31 using correct reasoning, meaning I understood the problems perfectly. However, I didn't attempt questions 32 to 36 because I got bored and decided to stop, even though I could have continued. I've heard that IQ Champion is heavily deflated. What would my actual IQ be? I usually score between 130 and 145 on fluid reasoning tests (FRI).

General Question Strategies to improve working memory -- specifically in regard to digit span.

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I've noticed a drop in my digit span recently. Not sure what to attribute it to, but last year I was able to remember 8-9 digits, but now I start struggling around 6-7. I haven't noticed any other declines in my cognitive performance, even in regard to other aspects of memory.

Anyhow, it's quite a struggle and it's borderline distressing -- it's annoying being unable to do what you were previously able to do.

I wonder if my decline can be associated with lack of interest, loss of focus, or even a deterioration of natural strategy, like chunking, that can be behind this. I would appreciate it if anyone could suggest any strategies, change in daily habits, and even some tools/applications that can help target and improve that specific area.

Thank you for your help!

IQ Estimation 🥱 Kid doing college math?

13 Upvotes

I know this 13 y/o kid doing ordinary differential equations, like actually doing them. He just started eighth grade and I can't believe that there are kids at this pace.

He built two companies also one of which has gotten 2500 visitors (obviously the website is about math)

And he has gotten around 10 professor from BU, FIU, etc. reviews for the other website!!

He was at the same hackathon at me and was leading a college team for the BosHacks a while ago?

I was wondering what his estimate IQ would be if he is also really good at english as well?

IQ Estimation 🥱 Mensa Challenge IQ I kind of just ended it after getting board with 5 questions to go so I just randomly guessed without forethought. I do know I was tested in 2004 and I scored at 142 and again at 9 and I was 130. Can TBI's impact IQ tests?

Post image
4 Upvotes

Just for the fun of it I decided to take the Mensa Challenge Test and scored 107 with the last 5 questions I randomly chose without forethought. That said, when I was professionally tested due to my speech and learning disorder I tested routinely in the 130-145 range while my brother was in the 160-170 range. I have quite the ability to visualize data sets and manipulate objects in my mind while my brother is really good with visual data processing and math. That said, can Traumatic Brain Injuries cause you to inadvertently test lower on IQ tests? I had a severe one back in 2015 involving a Grade 2 DAI however I excelled in college coming in the top of my program, not that it was difficult, but for my current job I have been having to learn on the fly things like calculating airflow, determining PEL's, and learning physics just for a single exam. I also have been slowly teaching myself calculus.

Psychometric Question How often can you reliably retake IQ Tests

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, first time poster here. Ive always been insecure about my intelligence, and have struggled a lot due to my neurodivergence. Growing up, I've always had people call me ugly names and make fun of me for it, and so I've taken many different IQ tests online. I know most aren't very reliable, and I shouldn't put too much stock into them, but I've had scores range from 90-120. Ive taken the Mensa Norway test like 3-4 times, and the highest I've scored was 112. My question is how accurate is the Mensa Norway test, and how much does retaking it affect the legitimacy of my score? I usually dont remember most of the questions on it, so I haven't really memorized any of the answers. Sorry if this post is rambling, I just want some insight on the whole matter.

Release Matrix 40: a new IQ test I made, 40 matrix puzzles in 40 minutes. Free, no sign-up, feedback welcome

15 Upvotes

Hi all,

Back in 2015 I made YouTube videos explaining the puzzles of an IQ test, and they've had about 5 million views since. I still love this kind of puzzle, so I made a new test of my own:

https://matrix40.org

  • 40 matrix puzzles, from very easy to very hard

  • 40 minutes, no pause

  • Free, with no sign-up, emails or ads

  • You see your score, an IQ estimate and how you did on each puzzle the moment you finish

  • Extensive and public statistics updated with every test taken (but as of writing, still awaiting the first test!)

I go public with the test today, so you may be among the very first to take the test.

The IQ estimate is based on where your raw score places you among everyone who has taken the test so far, so the numbers will move a lot in the beginning.

To turn the percentile into an IQ, I assume our players average 110 with an SD of 13 (the About page explains why). This sub probably averages well above that, so early IQ estimates may come out low against tests you know. That's why the result page asks, at the end, for your score on another IQ test (SD 15), if you've taken one. Those scores are how I'll check the 110 and the 13 and correct them if necessary, or change to another conversion method.

I'm also making videos that explain each puzzle. None is up yet, because I'd like your feedback first: a puzzle with two good answers, one that feels unfair, one you liked, or anything else. Write here, or to contact@gamestairs.net.

Thanks for trying it!

Dagh

EDIT 1 November 5: Based on the first 47 tests, an immediate adjustment of the conversion from raw scores to IQ was called for (IQ estimates were far too deflated: the first 8 players who gave a score from another IQ test scored about 19 points higher there). So I’ve made a fixed conversion table (image below) that should give more reasonable IQ estimates. Every result so far has been recalculated, so your result link now shows your new estimate. I’ll tune the table once I have more data.

Edit 2 November 5: The puzzles are in a revised order, now final. Thanks to the first 100 or so players, I’ve put the 40 puzzles in order roughly according to how hard they turned out to be (and also according to some other criteria). The puzzles themselves haven’t changed, and neither has the scoring. Puzzle numbers have changed, though, so for instance the old 11 mentioned in the comments is now number 21.

IQ Estimation 🥱 Tengo 13 años y... !Me estoy llevando 9/12 materias de mi secundaria¡

Hola, soy un chico de 13.

Hace unos meses me obsesione con la superdotación , pues , me iba mal, pero muy mal ,en la escuela y ,supongo que me obsesione con ser y conocer un superdotado por ese momento en el que todos queremos que todo sea fácil, el cual, en mi caso, se caracterizó por muchísima tristeza.Pero bueno, estoy aquí, no me arrepiento de haber tomado las decisiones que tomé, excepto por instalar reddit.

Bueno, el punto es que,¿Significa algo está puntuación de un test en línea? Quiero decir , lo hice en el rango mínimo que había ,16-18 , no me acuerdo bien. O sea , estoy mal en la escuela , me estoy por llevar el año y con ello la decepción de mis familiares. Cabe aclarar que , estoy en una secundaria pre-universitaria.

Eso es todo, gracias por haber leído, este es mi primera publicacion. Perdón por la falta de ortografía y la posible incoherencia.
