Guest Preston Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 A friend of mine has created a logical iq test for me and I am trying to norm it. I would appreciate your participation. You can find the timed test (max: 25 minutes) at http://www.geocities.com/uiowa52405/iq.htm and click on logical iq test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atinymonkey Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 No, don't want to. Don't know you. Only one post from you. Monkey no like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I thought this was an IQ test? It only tells you the percentage of answers you got correct. Anyway, if it helps I got 87.5% (2 incorrect answers). Some knowledge of what value a dime has would have helped, but then I'm not from the US so I don't care what crazy coins you people use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mattson Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 1 wrong-->93.75% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Which one was it? The other one I got wrong was one of those crazy probability questions which I couldn't be bothered reverting to primitve fractions for... that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Tom Mattson Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 It was the one asking "If a family has one girl, what is the probability that she has a sister?" I said 2/3, and it was 1/3. :slaphead: Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavajoEverclear Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 IQ test as I see it are not entirely efficient. I mean they do obviosly show certain levels of thinking, but are we sure at all that the types of thinking it judges is the most important measurement? Apologize, tho I know the problem, I don't know that answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaKiri Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 IQ tests aren't a test for anything except aptitude for IQ tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1917 Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 So if lots of people take the same one then its a reasonable (not definitive because no test is) assessment of intellect and appreciation of different concepts which the iq test is made up of - word association, simple mechanics, mental arithmatic etc. My only grudge is that often the majority seem to get above 100, which is preposterous because the whole point is that 100 is the average IQ, thus there should be no imbalance above or below this figure.

JaKiri Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 It's not a demonstration of intellegence though, so it's not really an 'intellegence quotient' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavajoEverclear Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 MrL_JaKiri--- I so agree with you. (they measure aptitude for the test) Greg-- i know what it measures, but its existence neglets the point of the billions of other possible skills the mind could be utilized to master. It also implies limitations is not benefit to progression. I'm sure any ordinary person could be trained to know what is needed to master the test, but what is the purpose of these things? When purpose of the order is forgotten is when true intelligence is lost. IQ tests do not promote progression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you don't know how an IQ test really works then. It takes the amount of aanswers you got correct in a certain period of time to figure out your mental age. It then divides that by you true age, then multiplies that by one hundred. that is why the average IQ is 100. Your mental age SHOULD be your real age. If we had a perfect IQ test, which practicly impossible if I might add, and had everyone in the world take it, the IQ from the whole thing would be near 100.

The value of a dime is ten pennies. Or 1/10 of a US dollar. A qarter is 1/4 of a US dollar, a nickel 1/5, and a penny 1/100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intellegence is assumed to be a normal distribution with a mean of 100 and standard deviation 10 (if memory serves [about the sd bit anyway]). Tests measure your aptitude at them, independent of your age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHinfcube22 Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Then explain why a good IQ test asks for your age, and usualy states that If you put above 16, when you are truly under, that you score would change dramatically. And by the way, my IQ averages to about 166, ranging from 150 to 171. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because mental developement is theorised to increase to 16. ps. I'm afraid your scores show that the test is not a good indicator of intellegence. I'm sorry, but it's true. You're not one of the most intellegent 0.001% in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have taken like seventy DIFFRENT IQ tests, with each one within 150-171. And where I got what Intelligence Quotient ment is from some Natioal Geographic magazine, orwas it the Discovery Channel? I don't remember... But I can tell you for sure that my IQ is in the 160s, wether you believe me or not. I can finnish a 30 min. IQ test in 5 min., with practically every answer correct, pus I'm only FOURTEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So hah!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/b] a nickel is 1/5 of a quarter.A nickel is 1/20 of a dollar.A dime is 1/10 of a dollar. You should keep the same progression. Sorry I just had to say this.
