They once had me take one of those horoscopes and one part of it was a rorschach test. How is that not quakery.
Another part was to have me write a short text wich fair enough.
fill in mulltiple choise questions that were deliveratly obtuse and ambigous.
The only part that i would expect to corrrelaete with intelligence was when i had to memorize a string of numbers and repeat it after a while. But even then this is an ability you can train.
You won't find any of those things in any reputable IQ test. I'd be surprised if you found them even in a bullshit online test.
Maybe you just had a particularly bad experience and it has given you a false impression of what an IQ test is.
Maybe yoy just dont remember it well because you are not ver smart.
What's funny is I got an IQ test in 5th grade and absolutely nothing you listed was in mine
Maybe you just dont remember it well because you are not very smart.
Don't know why you're trying to start shit with me but please go fuck yourself.
You are the one trying to start shit here. If you had a more nuanced response. In this case, an example would be descriving your experience. You would get a more nuanced response. See the other guy.
But im glat i touched a sore spot for you.
All I did was say I took an IQ test that didn't have any of the elements in yours. You came back calling me stupid.
Elaborate on how I started shit with you. Explain yourself. How the fuck do you envision yourself as being justified. How the fuck do you explain your perception of me starting shit with you.
IQ is bullshit in the sense that as a measurement of cognitive abilities it doesn't really work, but that doesn't mean the only factor influencing intelligence is social upbringing either
i mean, say what you will, but i could have the most supportive environment on earth and i'm pretty sure i wouldn't ever be the second coming of messi (or michael jordan for you gringos), same should go for newton, knorozov or whoever
