I read here http://www.eoht.info/page/Genius that henri poincare got a 35 on an iq test. I think that is really interesting, if its true! I've heard that people with mental deficiency score in the 60's, so 35 would be really low! I used to think iq meant something years ago, but I dropped...

Hi Guys, Whats the next picture in the series?

IQ is supposed to be the measurement of your "natural intelligence." IQ is supposed to be the measurement of your "natural intelligence." However, can your IQ vary on how much brain activity you're doing? For instance, during the Summer a person is lazy and not doing any studying or anything...

So there was a thread: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?p=2847138#post2847138 about IQ and being successful that I think is an interesting topic and is worthy of discussion so I thought I'd start a new thread here. The reason for doing so is that I was recently reading Malcolm...

These are some questions that I found on an online test. 3. 5. 9. 11. For three, I believe that the answer is A, since both of the other shapes have a large, medium, and small version. A again for five, since each of the first two cells in every row total the same as the...

This suddenly came up in a MRI class. I kinda understand IQ modulation (both amplitude and phase are modulated). But how does IQ demodulating a signal help, specially MRI signal. In case you don't know a MRI signal, its just a exponentially decaying sine.

I had to conduct a survey, and so my topic was Iq's of certain jobs but the most interested I'm in is a physicist. So my question to you if your a physicist is what is your iq? Also, do you think you need a higher than average iq to become a physicist or to study physics? And feel free...

hello i read the other guy's post "Do you think this guy in Iran would be name a genius if he was in USA or first world?" and two questions came to my mind, "why nearly everybody tries to relate success in science to IQ while there are people that don't have high Iq and they are success in...

Sure they say that if you love what you're doing, you will excel at it. But how well does that apply to math/computer related fields? From my personal observations, I have noticed that math depends more on IQ/genes for success than any other subject. That's a strong correlation, but certainly...

Hello smart folks! I am developing an IQ test and is currently bringing all the tasks together, for one complete test. There will be no time limit on the test and it will be "culture fair", i.e. un-biased in terms of education, cultural upbringing etcetera. I am going to organize the tasks in...

What exactly is the purpose of IQ?

Back in 1988, after moving to a new area, I thought I'd take a British Mensa IQ test to find out my IQ and then perhaps be able to get in touch with intelligent people. On both the practice test and the supervised test Mensa said that my Cattell-scale IQ was 161 (equivalent to about 141 on...

Do you know any IQ tests online that has been used in mensa tests? I've taken one previously (119), but it wasn't a very good one.

Yay! another IQ test! http://www.intelligencetest.com/ 30 questions in 15min, the test ends by itself. Not the most accurate, but fun nonetheless. Result given right after you are done, and a very lame "multiple" intelligence analysis too - all free. My score: 115. You?
