People who boast about their I.Qs are losers -Stephen Hawking.
3 IQ higher than a math YouTuber? Miracle!
14:30 When I joined the military in 2000, there was no IQ test.
So I find this specultive at best.
Show us the evidence!
23:39 Don't try to tell me that our school's our some how better they used to be.
Have you seen what their focusing on these days?
It's not the actual subjects.
There's a whole lot of conjecture going on in this video.
And I got a 17 out of 36 on the ACT.
I haven't taken the SAT or GRE.
When I have taken the IQ test, it's always about 131…for me.
I love learning, but it's not like any of your school tests.
No matter how well I know the material, I ALWAYS get something wrong.
I tried to get A's and B's, but instead got B's and C's.
Algebra simply doesn't agree with my brain, but I love spelling (never got the chance to be a Spelling Bee), history, and government.
I do like numbers and lists.
That's me.
I wouldn't mind being a test subject for those attempting to figure out IQ's.
9:00 I think this one has two answers because 20 could also be right. It's weird to see a question that has two right answers an an IQ test
I'm just as dissapointed as Derek here.
My uncle was a MENSA member, worked for OMSI and a manufacturer of streetcar/trolley/trams. He also studied off & on at DeVry. And let me tell you, I learnt a hell of a lot about how bunk and bogus IQ is, and MENSA itself is. You may assume that means I'm suggesting he was dumb, but it's actually quite the opposite. It's his insights into both and my own experience and research that has proven to me how factual this is. It truly is useless and total quackery.
The irony one these "experts" stated that excelling in school work and high IQ effectively made someone so much more intelligent and successful, when that's bogus too. The school system is there exclusively to make you into a good cog in the corporate industrial machine. Nothing else. They teach you endless excess no one will ever use in the first place because it is genuinely useless information they've wasted your childhood away forcing you to "learn". You only need to learn beyond the most basic in each subject unless you specifically have a interest and want to get into jobs associated with the advanced studies of the associated subject(s). Say you want to become a accountant or a architect, you'd only then need and desire studying beyond the basics in the subjects needed.
Truther the timed aspects are further proof it has nothing to do with intelligence and knowledge at all. That is a unnecessary, arbitrary aspect needlessly added to "make it more challenging". That's it. And nothing they have in ANY IQ tests have any knowledge or intellect associated with life skills. Nothing at all. Exclusively the usual bogus psychology and curricular crap.
I thought I was stupid most of my life, because of undiagnosed autism. Because of this, I didn't try very hard in school (I can't learn surrounded by others… even if they're quiet)…. every year I would ace the placement exams, then fail my classes.
During my Dx process I was given the Stanford-Binet and scored a 137. I was shocked to find out that I WASN'T stupid, and became a voracious autodidact. Armed with the new belief that I COULD learn anything I put my mind to, and started to lean heavily into my autistic special interests….
After about 15 years of this, I run intellectual circles around my classically educated friends.. and they always get angry and try to prove me wrong when I speak on my A.S.I.s… and then get visibly angry when they can't. I also make unique connections because of my homegrown knowledge set.
I see solutions others don't, partly because of my autistic attention to detail, partly because of my auditory/tactile synesthesia, and partly because I wasn't taught in a class or by a teacher… I will say this about me… my "why, why, why?" phase has never ended and Im 39.
I don't know how accurate they are on the whole… but if not for the one I was given, I might still be a waste of life… and Im thankful Im not.
Just tested mine and it was 106. Just about 10 points higher than the average American. 🤷🏻♂️. Oh well. lol😆
This is literally something i hate i took my IQ test. Scored 124 or something . But the generalized areas. Weren't even a speaking point like id like to have it thrown in my face so i can learn better
This is BS. You're telling me correlations of 0.2 and 0.3 are significant? Seriously? When i was studying economics my teachers used to say "if you find a correlation of 90%, you're officially an economist. If you find a correlation of 95%, you're gonna win a Nobel someday. If you ever find a correlation of 100%, you are God." This 0.2 and 0.3 (20% and 30%) correlation is BS, especially if you research enough to see that in the medical field there's no relation between brain size and intelligence.
Beat you by 5 points.
nice flex

I have forgotten where i heard Sierra leone former this week .
IQ can best be explained by reaction speed. thats all it is. If you're a very good player on FPS games then my guess is your good IQ wise.
sounds odd but thats all you need to know.
High IQ is worthless without the ability to communicate 🙁
This video contains sooo much more, interesting stats and scary history events.
Thanks Veritasium.

IQ is a fking meme
If you're so smart then why arent you fking rich?
Damn, that Eugenicist judge was on to something.
Now we have 30million american idiots roaming the country
Funny you dodged the IQ and race. Which is VERY CLEAR btw lmao.
American IQ 😂😂😂😂😂 please check the european one
Every video on IQ attracts a flood of self-serving life story comments from neglected geniuses
16:00 does income show a high correlation because of state redistribution of wealth? if two people have an income of $30k but one is receiving 50% of that from the welfare state and the other is working for all their income then the IQ difference wouldn't be represented in their income
Quality and efficiency of answers are an important factor of test taking strategy when taking an IQ test
12:42 an SAT score of 1330 is 86.53% percentile which equates to about an IQ of 116.5, not even close to 130 lol
Which face is prettiest killed me. Thats how to seperate the smart from the….not smart?
@12:57 the ans was c
There is some validity in that for instance below a certain range and the military won't take you. Above a certain level and some places won't let you be a police officer saying you will get board and quit….It matters. But it is also flawed, test anxiety, literacy, lots of factors can effect scores.
Men and their fixation for G factors. Oh, and, of course, their inability to find it.
NO, do NOT take much stock in IQ tests. The world is full of people with very "mediocre" level IQ levels who are highly successful and there are also many people with high level IQs who are not successful. Are IQ tests trainable? It really doesn't matter. Automatically assume that all IQ tests have inherent flaws built into their structure.
IQ is just a segment – an important one but just part of a toolset. If you just have high IQ you likely won't be very successful without some of the other tools – work ethic, dealing with people, ability to focus on a direction, creativity or adaptability. Certainly is a useful tool though. Mine is 130's – high but not stellar but I present well and get on with people so people think its way higher than what it is. If only I had the work ethic and sense of direction.
Next: test Вidеn.
