Chronos said:IQ is an excellent way to quantify your ability to correctly respond to the test questions of that particular test. Does it translate into the ability to perceive and respond to real world issues? That relationship is not well established.
ModusPwnd said:Then why do psychologists use it to test people who have trouble with real world issues? Of course that relationship is well established. People who end up at a psychologist or therepist because they have trouble with real world issues get tested because the results of their IQ test are meaningful in framing the issues and devising a treatment plan. You act like its just made up nonsense... Its not. Maybe the fake IQ test taken by the original poster is. But "real" IQ tests do provide meaningful results that are used by health professionals.

Good guess, the OP is the sockpuppet of a banned member.phinds said:Interesting. The OP had 5 or 6 posts yesterday, today has none but this one and even yesterday his name was in italics indicating banned. Must have been found to be a sock-puppet (with a low IQ).
ModusPwnd said:Evidence of what? That health professionals use IQ tests to aid in their diagnosis and treatment? Or evidence that their usage of IQ tests is efficacious? I am not a health professional, I don't read research papers on any health related tests, IQ or otherwise. It is used by professionals for a reason though. If people are confused into thinking that an IQ test's role is something else then that confusion is their own problem, it doesn't devalidate the IQ test as used professionally.
(I took an IQ test from a health professional once. It was to look for learning disabilities. The psychologist I saw normally worked with people who had head injuries and were trying to rehabilitate.)
Student100 said:Evidence that they can accurately relate anything is what I was looking for.
Student100 said:It seems that such tests can do more harm than good. How many false diagnoses does it result in?

An IQ, or intelligence quotient, is a numerical score used to measure a person's cognitive abilities. It is typically measured through standardized tests that assess various skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and memory.
An IQ score is typically interpreted as a measure of a person's intelligence relative to the general population. The average IQ score is around 100, with scores above 100 considered above average and scores below 100 considered below average.
Many factors can impact a person's IQ score, including genetics, education, and environment. It is important to note that IQ tests are not a perfect measure of intelligence and can be influenced by factors such as test anxiety or cultural bias.
While a person's IQ score may change slightly throughout their lifetime, research suggests that IQ is relatively stable and does not drastically increase or decrease over time.
No, IQ is just one measure of intelligence and does not encompass all aspects of intelligence. There are many other types of intelligence, such as emotional intelligence, creative intelligence, and social intelligence, that are not measured by traditional IQ tests.
