So you know what your IQ?

Do you believe intelligence can be measured?
SeaGlass · F
Yes, and yes it can be approximated, however... a person's IQ is not static. The ability to reason can be improved or diminished at various times, for various reasons, over one's lifetime.

The ability to reason…for various reasons…

I see what you did there. 🤣
SeaGlass · F
@RedBaron Oh, you mean using the word 'reason' as a verb and then a noun, for various reasons, in order to form a reasonably reasonable comment? I guess I did do that 😏
RedBaron · M
@SeaGlass For some reason, reasonable or otherwise. 🤷‍♂

I don't think standard IQ tests are a great measurement of intelligence. I think it's more nuanced and complicated than that. I think maybe you can measure or test for certain traits of intelligence, but I don't think you will necessarily get a full picture of a person's intelligence through an IQ score.

From my exposure to the mainstream medical and psychological sciences at this point, I have come away with so many doubts that I don't put much stock their paradigm anymore.

I have a high enough IQ that I could be part of Mensa. I am also smart enough to not be part of Mensa.

I’ve never been tested… I’m sure I would most likely fall in “average range”.

That being said, there are different types of intelligence, and I’m not sure all or any can truly be measured by a test. But what do I know?… Haha… probably not enough to achieve a “high score” 🥲

Around 95 Out of 100% IQ.
Intelligence can definitely be measured, but no one really knows what that measurement means.

163 there are tests but idk if iq is the most accurate in terms of learned behavior\experience.
It can be gauged approximately...
I was tested at the beginning of third grade in september 1978, along with the rest of my class in the district, I scored 148 at almost eight and a half years of age, at a time when IQ was still considered important.
@thisgenericnamehere I hated school by that time.

@NativePortlander1970 Yes. Me too, took me a decade to get back to it. I eventually did.

Thank you for sharing.
@thisgenericnamehere You're so very welcome.
