I.Q. is correlated with intelligence.  It would be a worthless test if it wasn't.  It has some merit but using it as a standard for intelligence is out-dated by 15 or so years.  That doesn't stop us from using it, of course, but saying you have a high I.Q. indicates nothing more than that you performed well on an I.Q. test.


... you are saying it has some merit but a high i.q test means nothing? It seems like for you to agree on a test being standard of intelligence in any shape or form it would have to include everything concievable in order to be valid. Anyhow psychology is pseudo science at best, it tells us a retard could subconsciously be hidding the outmost geniosity..

I think Bard is trying to say that having a high iq is definitely a good thing, but you can have a high IQ and be a useless fucking faggot meanwhile

nah, bard doesn't mean that but bard has a point which he masks in pseudoscience. Like the brain is simply built up by matter, which depending on amount, order and position these atoms make up the persons mind. What we percieve as intelligence isn't what it really is, different brains give cause to different thoughts and perceptions. Deciding which is the best is pretty hard since they work differently and it also becomes subjective in a way, which type of thinking is "correct" that is what he means, that the i.q test doesn't do all minds justice just one type of.

thats also why i said bard won't be satisfied unless the test requires everything conceivable because then you can actually compare the results objectivly but even then it is basically impossible because the answers will be in different shapes and forms. Like solve math question A, one does a graph another one does it with some painting shit etc atleast this is what i think bard is talkin about if not, it is what counter arguement i would use

I'm saying that the I.Q. test is a correlated but ultimately useless metric, similar to comparing being tall and being good at basketball.

That is one aspect of why the test is a poor metric, but there are many more reasons. Like I advised the raging rando, crack open an intro to psych book and it should cover several criticisms of the I.Q. test.
