I refused to take the IQ test in High School because it’s a creation of the white establishment to use as fodder and proof of their superiority over other races Fuck the government, the intellectual elite, the Rockefeller foundation, and the Carnegie institute who sponsor and advocate such testing Hotwater
So I take it youre not interested in mensa... I agree it's pretty lame to attempt to affix a single number to something as dynamic and layered as intelligence.. and at least in the early stages of intelligence testing, the tests were completely culturally biased and eurocentric. To the point a lot of mexicans were labeled as borderline retarded. And also a shit load of europeans were denied entry at ellis island. Haha, eugenics anyone?
i'm pretty sure that if i had to take a french iq test, or a mexican one, i'd be institutionalized for profound retardation.
okay, on that shape one i got a 150. i don't see how pattern recognition makes you a freaking genius.
and i know there's doubters: http://nicologic.free.fr/Classification.php but it's total bs. because how many people here think i'm a genius? show of hands?! *crickets chirping*
i got 127 i stopped caring after i finished #9 - got them all right (1-9). 10-15 i got wrong, but didn't really give a shit to take a look at haha
I took some or most of an IQ test when I was being evaluated for ADD before University. My highest scores were in the 98th percentile for higher order logic / reasoning, communication / language skills and all that good stuff, but my lowest score in a certain category were in the 35th percentile for simple memory-recall tests like having to say the word "acorn" whenever I heard the evaluator say "ladder". I wanted to take the 13 hours of testing off any and all of my meds, so any IQ results were not going to substantiate any real representations of my intellectual capabilities. I think I have it in my filing cabinet, though.
Are you suggesting IQ tests were developed by men who had penis envy i.e. I have a bigger IQ than you do. hmmmm. Perhaps you're onto something h
