Does anybody know how? I plan on doing a series of brain exercises next term during school. Does anybody know how to specifically target the IQ as well? I'm also interested in taking an IQ test before the term begins, and as well as after to see how things compare. Although I should...

Have you ever taken an actual standarized IQ test? Not the online ones, those are not accuracy. See this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gifted When I was younger, I was in special ed because my english was bad. However, in high school, I somehow got great talents in mathematics and science...

http://cognitivedaily.com/?p=137 Important findings: self-discipline, as rated on a number of scales, appears to be a more significant predictor of academic success than IQ, particularly for GPA (grade point average). Also, self-discipline and IQ, as measured in this study, were independent...

Difficult "IQ" test This is a very interesting IQ test. You are basically ranked against all the others who also took the test. There are 20 questions total, but it calculates your percentile as you go. I answered all 20 this afternoon and got 94th percentile, answering 13 of the 20...

Is there a limit to how high a persons IQ can be without outside influences like nano technology and genetic engineering. Is there a limit to how smart humanity can get with eugenics?

I read on a site once that higher IQ is found amongst Atheists, and I also heard that SAT scores were also correlated with religious affiliation. Does anyone have a reliable source that suggests or proves an Atheism and IQ correlation? Thanks.

I took the High IQ Society's Culture-Fair test. It's very basic. Many people have claimed that this particular test is the most accurate out of all on-line IQ test. I wholeheartedly disagree, the Mensa workout is far more accurate. All of the tests on HIQS's site are a part of an obvious...

Today, what tests are considered standard for IQ testing purpose? Thanx, God blesses you if you help Howard

This post is made mostly in fun since I don't believe that IQ directly translates into intelligence. I do believe, however, that IQ results provide us with an indication of potential. So, in response to all of the board talk regarding IQ, and admittedly, to take a tiny jab at the liberals on...

Damn i hate IQ tests, aparently I am in the top 0.5% IQ of people my age (15) Well that makes no sense, because it takes me about 3 weeks to write a 1000 word essay, and a lot of people i know my age can do that in an hour. These things are so in accurate, does anyone actually believe the give...

Do you think it will ever be possible to ever gain a true grip on someones intelligence. I mean I know people who get 4.0 (gpa scale) who get good scores on ACT and SAT who are just plain stupid in many areas. My personal feeling is that there will for sure never be a written test alone that...

Yes, I have declared it, so it must be true...the whole concept of an IQ test is sort of silly, and should be ignored. I should know, I've been subjected to about a dozen professional IQ tests over the years, and countless online tests(scores ranging from 150-170). The thing is, there's a...

I've met a few people who are what people would consider genius. And from my experience I have noticed that it is only people of marginal intelligence who obsess about IQ tests. Majority of genius aren't that concerned with eugenics, they are much to busy conquering the world, making money, or...
