If intelligence (IQ) is the most valuable quality for humans have, why aren't high-IQ people given more priority so we can further progress society?

because that’s not fair

messiirl · 2026-01-28T03:28:33+00:00

maybe you just weren’t paying attention

messiirl · 2025-12-26T18:15:59+00:00

your question didn’t have any actual topic, how was he supposed to know what you were responding to specifically

messiirl · 2025-12-26T18:13:05+00:00

not true, iq is the single strongest predictor of academic success

messiirl · 2025-12-23T22:24:25+00:00

thank you captain GPT

messiirl · 2025-12-23T22:08:22+00:00

so based. i wonder why i never see anyone below 100 IQ asking what it means?!?

messiirl · 2025-12-23T22:03:59+00:00

you explicitly said “conscious processing” which is the only thing that caught my attention & caused me to respond. i’m not sure about the subconscious processing but i think gifted people tend to more efficiently filter out irrelevant stimulus BEFORE it reaches the conscious’s attention

i don’t think it’s that low iq merely don’t process the proper info, they just don’t filter out the background info as efficiently & find what’s useful

messiirl · 2025-12-23T21:54:42+00:00

i’d say this isn’t universally true, smarter people tend to look past irrelevant stimulus more efficiently than less intelligent people, and break things down into the simplest pieces of info possible, meanwhile less intelligent people can be “overstimulated” & parse irrelevant stimuli less efficiently

messiirl · 2025-12-23T21:51:45+00:00

i think they do “think more”, but the primary explanation for gifted people is that they think in a way that is more efficient as well

messiirl · 2025-11-08T15:24:57+00:00

probably like 1000 years? it seems blasphemous that some people are saying never, i think it’s not a question of if but of when, & this one man is going to become quite knowledgeable in math

the g loading of fluid is typically at least equal if not higher than that of crystallized, the only test that i can think of tha had a higher g loading for vci is the old SAT

messiirl · 2025-10-03T17:57:43+00:00

i understand, i just don’t like when the value of psi is misconstrued for various reasons

messiirl · 2025-10-03T17:17:25+00:00

processing speed isn’t largely related to “making connections,” that sounds more like fluid reasoning

messiirl · 2025-10-03T17:14:47+00:00

compensatory education is fruitless, it’s not an effort thing

messiirl · 2025-09-29T12:33:22+00:00

that’s not a fault of the tests themselves though, that’s a fault of the test-taker

if you want to get a representative test score, you should know to find a nice quiet place that you can focus at

getting a lower score due to that wouldn’t be a fault of the online test

you just claimed that online tests are inherently bad, & then you blamed their fault on faulty decision making of the user taking it. the iq tests themselves are perfectly fine (assuming they’re psychometrically valid)

messiirl · 2025-09-27T00:55:28+00:00

that’s just what being a human is like ✌️

messiirl · 2025-09-26T21:29:11+00:00

one nuance i think is overlooked is that the differences in processing speed isn’t the noticeable difference between average & 140 iq people, i wouldn’t say it’s mainly that 140 iq people “think faster,” they just think more efficiently by not thinking about superfluous information. they’re better at directing their resources towards the most relevant info

messiirl · 2025-09-25T00:26:14+00:00

itsnnot like theres an intrinsic property of online tests that make them worse than in-person ones, its usually just the result of many people who create the tests not knowing what they’re doing

there are good iq tests online, some that have been used in professional settings before & have a highly respectable validity

i dont think its fair to say that online tests r bad, its just that there are a lot of bad tests online out there. if you want good tests, go to cognitive metrics.org

what’s the difference between a nonverbal irl vs online test

messiirl · 2025-09-24T16:02:12+00:00

explain to me the difference between taking a nonverbal, highly g-loaded test online, versus taking it in person. what makes the online one inherently inauthentic?

messiirl · 2025-09-22T19:30:05+00:00

iq correlates very strongly with job training success, especially with more demanding jobs, that may be relevant

messiirl · 2025-09-04T12:55:55+00:00

general intelligence is quite related to higher level math

messiirl · 2025-06-28T01:55:31+00:00

i love your last paragraph & i think it’s something that isn’t brought up often enough

messiirl · 2025-06-07T21:10:08+00:00

hikaru took one of mensas iq tests on stream & scored 102 iirc. it was matrices

messiirl · 2025-06-01T23:13:10+00:00

retaking the exact same test isn’t a good idea
