Physics is like a ship without a sail.

Still working on that project on Scientific Racism. All in all, I have come to a conclusion: (Please state your thoughts) The IQ gap between races is, in a sense, both genetic and environmental; however, the differences we perceive as genetic, according to evolutionary theory, may have...

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...

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...

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...

Although I think that is a waste of time to discuss about IQ, since the high number of threads dedicated to this topic I pose the following questions: 1) Is (was) scientific research being directed by people with high IQ? 2) Does IQ measure creativity? And the most interesting (for...

While there's certainly a lot of sources that show a link between IQ and both academic and economical success, I was wondering if the members of this board could list sources on how IQ effects other aspects of life.

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...

Sloth's Army is made up of three corps. Each of those corps is made up of two divisions. Each division is made up of three brigades. Each brigade is made up of four battalions (well apart from one of them that is made up of five, but that's another story...) Each battallion is made up...

Highest IQ? I'm doing a project on IQ and for posters I'm doing some information on the person with the Highest IQ in the world. Unfortunately, this seems to be a difficult thing to determine. Marilyn Vos Savant is supposed to have the highest IQ according to Guiness. But Guiness isn't...

Are some people born with an "intrinsic high IQ" (that is, are some people born with a profoundly gifted mind that makes them "natural geniuses) where others are not?

I picked A because it seemed like you can pair up the others. Like Z goes with N because they are rotations of each other. And F goes with E because E is just one stroke short of F. Well, it turns out the correct answer was E because it's written in 5 strokes and the others are written in 4...

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...
