Are IQ Tests Rigged/Biased?

[Jinn-Gon Qui]

I always wondered if such tests are reliable and worth taking, and what are they to prove.

I just did a actual iq test, done by a proffesional test taker in a psychiatric institution. Those findings where pretty accurate. But i wouldn't take on if you don't need it. I took it because they wanted to see what treatment would fit me.

If you do a online on then you won't get anything usefull. Even if it's paid, that's not a actual iq test.

Also, iq doesn't say a whole lot. I didn't get a score for example because i have bumbs and spikes in the score so you can't roll out a single number. And it's still tested in a save inviroment, not irl.

And one's IQ is always subject to change by their further education and gain in knowledge? It's like improving your profile?

Not at all. Your IQ can certainly decrease due to accident, heath issues or just aging, but it's pretty much impossible to increase it past early childhood. But remember than intelligence is a tool, not an achievement in and of itself. You use your intelligence to accumulate or discover new knowledge, but knowledge and IQ aren't one and the same.

In some games, the higher your intelligence, the more skill points you get per level. That's actually a fairly realistic representation.

Your IQ actually does change, a lot. I just took my third one. And they where all different. But indeed not so much on a later ago.
But things like the ability to do math are tested, which does increase, also things like memory, and of course social IQ. Something that's overlooked.. a lot. But is pretty important.

I think there are different testing methods though, for different purposes.

IQ slowly goes down with age after 20. So yeah it changes, but not for the better. If your not a genius at 18, your never gonna be one, ever.

But not all genius can LITERALLY be genius at something - and everybody can be a genius at something.

It's true that IQ doesn't increase in adulthood, but you're misinterpreting the data. On average, it decreases because some people suffer accidents, diseases or just don't use their intellect after high school. However it is entirely possible for someone to retain their intelligence even well within old age with healthy lifestyle, mental exercise and a bit of luck.

And yes, genius does take many forms, some of which aren't entirely represented by IQ.

Technically you're supposed to add the scores for multiple personalities together.
