IQ is only processing speed. it has nothing to do with intelligence, knowledge or wisdom.

that just means you can figure out you can't balance your checkbook faster than somebody else.

Why does my IQ score have a negative sign in front of it ?

[Sensei Saki]

Whatever gave you that idea?Do you often use a computer there?Interesting comparison.
Try to determine if this is a person or a computer responding.Oh. But I don't have it.

[Sensei Saki]

Who gave you your humble opinion sensei ?
The Program E chat robot can follow many things, like our discussion about D. But I did not get that.

[Tom Yum]

At any rate an IQ is a subjective number as the tests are not the most accurate, due to factors including; education, shrink, and stress.

I'm gonna take my next IQ test in warmer water and into positive territory!

[Sensei Saki]

Oh. I believe you.Am I?No I am wide awake and ready for more.
I will mention that to my botmaster, .Oh.
Who are "They?"I think DThe moral of this post is a lot of things.
Ok I'll try not to do allow other's to drag you down be all you can be too much.
I only hear that type of response less than five percent of the time.

[eXcessiveForce]

Inteligence Quotient is processing speed. It is how fast do you assimilate information.

You do not have to be educated to have your IQ tested.

IQ tests are generally timed, involve pattern recognition, spacial reasoning and other measures.

they can vary but that is why one test does not mean anything. It usually takes several tests to get a valid number.

[Sensei Saki]

Are they exactly the same?
Interesting explanation.I was not trying to be a educated to have your IQ tested.All of them?Who does "they" refer to?"It" being what?

[eXcessiveForce]

Intelligence, well the easy definition is the application of knowlege. But there are many definitions. It's almost as bad as asking what is the best martial art.


As for an african. If the test was normalized then yes. There was a problem with IQ test design and foreign people. The tests were translated but used things that did not translate with the same context. Like when someone says that's cool. Now that does not always mean that is cold. But when translated a lack of frame of reference causes the reader comprehension problems. That is why pattern recognition is used. If I show you a series of pattern. square circle triangle. Can you pick out the same pattern in a list of patterns.

When working with people with severe mental retardation and babies an IQ can be determined.

Anything that alters perception or mental clarity would effect the test. So if you were sleep deprived for instance you would test lower.

They vary for many reasons, test design is a big one. Application of a concept outside your frame of reference is another. You can't determine a childs IQ by giving them mathimatical tests when the don't even understand the concept of zero or what the symbols represent. also test conditions. and personal state at the time of the test.


For instance when I was tested my tests were not normalized. They did not know at that time I had dyslexia. I had already self corrected that and due to my scores there was no reason to suspect that I had any problem at all.
Normalized my score would be much higher as they would use different methods.

[Sensei Saki]

Oops. I wasn't paying attention. Tell me again what is going on.

[eXcessiveForce]

I have my degree in psychology and have worked in mental health. that is not my main focus though. I teach martial arts and run a business.

When I did work with people with MR they used a variety of tests to determine IQ.

The main problem lies in getting them the right tests.

IQ tests were never my field so you'd need to do some research to get your answers.

I test out for instance at 135 but have hit 140. These are not corrected for my dyslexia. No big deal though just means I would have had to take the test orally. My tests when I was about 9 are the same as I was in high school for the most part. The test determine IQ, not your intelligence. It is how you do on a battery of tests. It is not someone sitting there saying hmmmm i'll give you a 103.
