How about it, to position everyone according to their I.Q.

Soviet_Guy said:Yeah, have no explanation about the influction of communists. My I.Q. is 137, but I'm still in Grade 12, for 3 more weeks anyway.
Soviet_Guy said:Really? Maybe I shouldn't have scheduled that I.Q. test in summer then, lol.
geek said:Not necessarily, RightatNYU. IQ can go up over time, depending on the experiences in between. I took one when I was 16 and got 132. I took another one about 3 weeks ago, and I just turned 18 yesterday, and I got a 148. It's still in the same area.. but there is a significant difference.

Soviet_Guy said:Yeah, I took my first I.Q. a month before turning 15, and since then I've learned a great deal more about Wordl War II, and every other important war since 100 B.C. but that's because I wasn't interested in war before then. Also, your mathematical knowledge should go up as well, and also your english skills, so your I.Q. should go up at least 10 points after 5+ years, until you reach 25 or so.
RightatNYU said:That's not what IQ tests test. True IQ tests (not the horrible online things) test ability to learn, not what you know. That trait is (as the theory goes) inherent and does not develop or decline as you age. Nothing that you learn affects it.
geek said:Er, no, they weren't online tests. They were test's I scheduled through my guidance counselor at my high school. I believe it was the same 'company' who made the two tests I took.
To say that you can't learn how to learn is silly. Your mind develops with experience and through obtaining more knowledge. I believe Arthur has a better understanding of the purpose of IQ tests.
http://www.pediatrics.emory.edu/NEONATOLOGY/DPC/faq.htm#5IQ is an abbreviation for Intelligence Quotient. “Intelligence,” as measured by IQ tests is rather narrowly defined. An IQ is intended as a predictor of the level of abilities a child will need to be successful in school. In the general population this score becomes relatively stable after about four years of age.
