SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers around the relationship between IQ and success in engineering careers. Participants assert that IQ tests, particularly online versions, lack validity and do not accurately predict professional success. The conversation highlights that different engineering disciplines require varying skill sets, and IQ is not a definitive measure of one's capabilities in these fields. Additionally, anecdotal evidence suggests that many professionals, including engineers, do not find IQ scores relevant to their careers.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of IQ testing and its limitations
  • Familiarity with various engineering disciplines and their requirements
  • Knowledge of critical thinking and reasoning skills
  • Awareness of the cultural influences on standardized testing
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the validity of online IQ tests and their psychological implications
  • Explore the different types of engineering fields and their skill requirements
  • Study critical thinking assessment methods used in job testing
  • Investigate the impact of cultural factors on standardized test scores
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, job seekers in technical fields, educators, and anyone interested in the implications of IQ testing on career success.

Refer to a few posts back, these internet tests aren't actually IQ tests, just for people that have enough time to waste, like me.

Yes that's what I mean, if he feels dumb at ~300 give or take IQ..he's being too hard on himself :D
..unless of course his room temperature is low enough to turn oxygen into liquid or even solid form.. whether he can survive in such environments is another matter.

Its 0K here...

and before there was post #57 there was post #40 with the first imaginary IQ of this thread.

Now who has an IQ matching Graham's number?

My IQ is equal to Avogadro's number :p

6.02 * 10^18 19 give or take, was it? Not bad, I'd say
e: no, 10^24? 23? even better

I think it was 6.02*10^23 if I remember correctly

Then it would be missing units, rendering the number meaningless!
