What do you think the average Shroomerite IQ is?
#11848060 - 01/17/10 04:26 PM (14 years, 2 months ago) |

I'd say slightly above average- perhaps 105-115.
There are some very intelligent people here.
There are a lot of dumb fucks here.
Most are somewhere in the middle, but definitely above the common American level of intellect.
Edit: My original guess of 105-115 was too generous, I forgot about the Off Topic forum which is the Shroomery equivalent of the short bus.

129 here, according to the online IQ tests...which means I know a most likely wildly inaccurate semi-worthless measurement of my intelligence.

I don't trust online IQ tests. One of them informed me that my IQ is ~150-160 which I am virtually positive is bullshit. Maybe 120-130 is more accurate, but I really have no idea. I'm pretty sure NONE of them are accurate, but some are more accurate than others.

I don't think there is one thats "legit" although they probably have similar questions as the real one. IDK, search for "online IQ test" take a couple and average your scores. Thats what I did.

Actually, by taking the phrase "common sense" as its literal translation, it infers that "sense" is indeed common, not uncommon as you suggest.

It's a paradox though. Most people do not go by the literal meaning of the words, rather that common sense means something that is "obvious" although many things which are generally considered common sense are, in fact, not held by most people.

Hard to say.. I haven't been very active on here, but I feel like I tend to see a lot of very intelligent people on here, and a lot of pure dumb asses. There seems to be more people that fit those two categories rather than just average. But overall I guess the average would be.. well, average (so 100 give or take a few).
I've always wanted to get my IQ tested. I've done online ones more out of boredom than anything else, but I really don't think they're accurate at all. I've done several and my scores have been all over the place, highest being 154, lowest being 122.

These threads always make me
People dont realize how rare higher IQ numbers are, its not like 130 is just a little more than 115, or the average 100. 110 is not just a 'bit above average', its 75 percentile, half way between average and the highest percintile anyone can get. Most of us arnt a std. dev. away from the mean, I know Im not.

I've wondered this myself, and considered starting a thread on it, but I imagined it'd probably turn into one giant pissing contest. For that reason, I thought about posting it in Anon...then I thought again.
Interesting question, though. You do get a lot of fuckwits on this site (you know who you are! ), but you also get a lot of genuinely smart people-it's part of the reason I spend so long on this site-it's a chance to converse intelligently with some pretty awesome peeps!

online IQ tests are nothing, if you're taking a true IQ test (takes a couple of hours) you should always score the same. I believe mine's around 110.

I think what's more important than cognitive speed is a persons ability to utilize their resources efficiently and effectively. You can have a high IQ, but at the same time be a bad decision maker.

I took an online one once. It had a lot of reasoning problems and clearly had some range in the high end. It also produced roughly similar results to what I have gotten on other tests of IQ. Unfortunately, I can't remember the testing group. They did a whole lot of tests, too.

i did some studies on IQ tests, and yes, online ones are very inaccurate, but so are many of them...There are so many things that factor into what you can score on your test. The same person can take one test and score say a 112, then take another, and score a 125, which is a big difference. The wiki article on them has some good info in it if anyone is up for the read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_quotient
In the end, your measured IQ is really only a score of how well you can take IQ tests, and doesn't necessarily have any bearing on how well you can solve problems, or really even how truly 'intelligent' you are, its just the best way we have at this time to put a quantified value on a qualitative concept.

I know someone who took four real IQ tests, and scored exactly the same on all of them, which is how it's designed to work.

No, they were all seperately ran, but that's how legit IQ tests are supposed to work. They test your IQ, why would your IQ change (in the period of a year anyway). All these shotty 100 question internet tests are not properly designed, the real ones take many hours to successfully do.

Each test is different, especially in the case of different testing institutions. If he scored the same hes either bull-shitting you, or it was a coincidence.

I took a real IQ test when I was about 16 and it was a 142, and I got to join MENSA. But yeah, I would assume the average IQ around here is about average.

I took an online test that scored me at 145, which while flattering isn't accurate. Probably more like 120's. But being smart has nothing to do with how successful you are.

There are some very intelligent people here.

Most are somewhere in the middle, but definitely above the common American level of intellect.
Edit: My original guess of 105-115 was too generous, I forgot about the Off Topic forum which is the Shroomery equivalent of the short bus.
Actually more than half of them are pretty smart, they just may seem stupid. I'd say the average IQ of a shroomery member is the average IQ of the U.S population.

Yea, just because there are limitations to models like IQ and BMI doesnt make them bullshit. People who do cry bullshit are probably stupid/fat, thats what I always assume at least.

While there may be problems with it for athletic people with a high proportion of muscle to fat, I'm dubious of someone who would make this claim. I'm inclined to think that's it's a way for Americans to shift what is considered healthy so they can say, "See, I'm not a fat-ass; I'm normal & healthy!"
Open your favorite search engine and type in either flaws IQ or flaws BMI, and take your pick.
IQ tests don't measure intelligence, they measure your knowledge base. Intelligence has yet to be properly quantified, so labeling this test as a measure of human intelligence is as idiotic as calling a polygraph a lie-detector.

You can quantify any subjective thing. Just because its subjective doesn't mean its completely invalid.

Id say average here is 110-115. We have some idiots, but a lot of really smart people too. I always scored in the top 1% on standardized tests when I was younger. I spent 10 years not giving a fuck about school and abusing lots of drugs, so these days I don't do as well as I did when I was young. I still score 120-145 on online tests (but as people have said, they aren't exactly accurate)
The most obvious example to me is that I can do more complex math in my head than almost anyone I know. I don't particularly enjoy math or study it, it just kind of comes naturally.

This. Because participants on online message boards will generally be biased towards the more literate/text-minded portion of the population, and I expect that group to have a slightly higher IQ than the overall average. In addition, I have the impression that students are slightly overrepresented in our 'sample', and I hope that students generally score significantly above average in terms of IQ.

Yup, just like how a 1 to 10 scale ratio can represent "good" and "bad", both subjective experiences.

I know that you scored way way below me on that NHIQS test that I posted and I consider you to be far more intelligent than I am.
Like I said I dont think intelligence can be quantified, and to all of those who say only people who do poorly say that according to that T3 test I have an IQ of 147.

It's pretty silly to consider these tests to be totally accurate, but to totally deny they can measure intelligence at all is funny as well. You are probably not a 147, but do you think that the average American, uneducated and feverishly religious would repeat such a score? The simple fact is that some of us have inherent capabilities that are greater than the average population. Not to say these skills are inherently "good", but these things are measurable, and some people score far better than others. It doesn't make you any better than someone else, but there ARE IQ differences between people, and they ARE measurable.

Thanks brah.
I dont dismiss them completely but I also dont put much stock in an IQ score.
Like I said DieCommie didnt do very well but he has a B.S. in physics and is currently a graduate student (I think).
I'm not sure if you have ever read his posts but he seems really intelligent.
I know that's just one outlier but there are many others like him out there.
I might do well on IQ and other tests but I can barely dress myself.

I took one on Iqtest.dk it seems pretty legitimate. It is all about processing, 39 questions in 40 mins. A 140 is highest score if I remember, mensa level. I got 114, it was easy at first but the end of the questions get harder.

whether intelligence can be quantified or not is not up for debate, I'm afraid. Just scroll up and read my previous post.... You can quantify anything. You're referring to accuracy- and yeah, it's pretty much impossible to accurately quantify a phenomenon such as intelligence, that draws on many different aspects of the human mind(visuo-spatial, neuroplasticity, mathematical, etc.). Esp since when we take IQ tests, there are plenty of variables that can get in btwn us and the results(time of day, food we've eaten, drama in our lives)

The average IQ of the community, I'd say would be 5-10 points higher than the average American IQ.
