Turtle Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 ___Some ancient dead still Greek guy whose name escapes me just now, said 'it is better to know useless things than know nothing at all'. Just look to the word "quotient", the Q in IQ which indicates taking a measure by ratio. As with much abuse of statistics in humanities, the troubles arise when you wrongly think you can now predict behavior or performance based on the distribution.___I too have taken several of these tests & in my case performed poorly always in memeory & truth table logic problems, while whizzing through the abstract patterns so fast I had time to doodle a few of my own.___All in all, the idea of measurable IQ is not inherantly flawed, rather the methods sometimes employed to asess it. Pick one up at a bookstore & take it by yourself for yourself. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
