If he was rational, he would understand that companies like this have a huge incentive to inflate the score of anyone participating.
If he had got an 87, do you think that he would have posted his score?
Absolutely not, then the company would not get free advertising, costing them business.
I don’t believe it is fully fake, but I would not be surprised to see them rounding up any edge cases, this goes for the entire industry
I got 135 once as a kid, and then as an older kid, younger adult, studied up on and learned many of the flaws with IQ testing, one of many being that… you can study for them, and perform better.
That’s not supposed to be possible if it is measuring some kind of fundamental, inherent quality about you that cannot meaningfully change.
Good point. Ultimately this leads me to question the existence of some fixed quality of intelligence. People are growing, adapting, and learning through their lives, so a fixed number defining general intelligence is likely a moot concept.
On top of the prior point lies another major issue with any sort of “general intelligence” test: defining “general intelligence”. Intelligence comes in many forms: linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, visual-spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic, existential intelligence, and more. The IQ test does not test all forms of intelligence.
This being said, It is likely impossible to test all forms of intelligence in one test; and even if we could create this test, how would this test handle differently abled people. For example, a completely blind person would fail the visual intelligence portion every time (for obvious reasons).
“Answer sheet for all 29 questions.”
So for only $45 you can have a certified 200 iq I guess.
Being charitable I assume this is after you complete the test, but you can just look up the answers for free!
By posting this to boast, it demonstrates that his IQ is much lower as he is unable to read the room.
By taking a paid IQ test he failed the test.
