What Does IQ Really Measure?
sciencehabit writes "Kids who score higher on IQ tests will, on average, go on to do better in conventional measures of success in life: academic achievement, economic success, even greater health, and longevity. Is that because they are more intelligent? Not necessarily. New research concludes that IQ scores are partly a measure of how motivated a child is to do well on the test. And harnessing that motivation might be as important to later success as so-called native intelligence."
On the upside, you got to post on Slashdot how really smart you are.
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
Oh yeah? I'm fairly certain my high IQ score is the cause of my intelligence.
Hah, I got 100.
Perfect score, bitches.
Yes, I'm sure you only scored a paltry 156 because the test was so easy that you got bored.
Ugh, the indignity of taking something designed for normals.
"Am they slow or am I just not making any sense?"
Emphasis mine. That's kinda funny really.
One last thing: Sometimes I wonder; "Is that someone's signature? Or do they type that at the end of each post?"
Oh yeah? I'm fairly certain my high IQ score is the cause of my intelligence.
I'm fairly certain your intelligence is the cause of your high IQ score.
And all this time I thought my intelligence was the cause of my high IQ score.
Flawless double whoosh.
Q: Is intelligence determine by genetics or environment?
A: Yes.
