Could IQ scores be a false indicator of intelligence?

Researchers have determined in the largest online study on the intelligence quotient (IQ) that results from the test may not exactly show how smart someone is.

"When we looked at the data, the bottom line is the whole concept of IQ -- or of you having a higher IQ than me -- is a myth," Dr. Adrian Owen, the study's senior investigator and the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience and Imaging at the university's Brain and Mind Institute said to the Toronto Star. "There is no such thing as a single measure of IQ or a measure of general intelligence."

Kids who score higher on IQ tests will, on average, go on to do better in conventional measures of success in life: academic achievement, economic success, even greater health, and longevity. Is that because they are more intelligent? Not necessarily. New research concludes that IQ scores are partly a measure of how motivated a child is to do well on the test. And harnessing that motivation might be as important to later success as so-called native intelligence.

IQ tests have many different purposes, notes Joel Schneider. He is a psychologist at Illinois State University in Normal. Some IQ tests have been designed to assess children at specific ages. Some are for adults. And some have been designed for people with particular disabilities.

But any of these tests will tend to work well only for people who share a similar cultural or social upbringing. “In the United States,” for instance, “a person who has no idea who George Washington was probably has lower-than-average intelligence,” Schneider says. “In Japan, not knowing who Washington was reveals very little about the person’s intelligence.”

sets claned your clock so many times that Ill bet its a prpetual motion machine by now.

You have too many verbal tells when you are in too deep.

I have fun with your Trumpy boasts of infallibility and intelligence.

Just this AM I watched your visual posts about Trumps inauguration celebration in the Mall.

You compared Trump with Trump,

but not with Obama.

(That was Trumps lie) Trumps lie was that "he had the biggest attendance to the swearing- in ceremony of any president"> It wasnt about some "Deep state photographer who photo-shopped and reduced his attendance by camera tricks"

There was no comparison twixt Trump and Obama's first inauguration. Obamas thick crowd went all the way back to the Washington Monument.

Trump had empty bleachers, near the tidal pool.

It doesn't bother me--it affords me a great deal of entertainment when I see the uneducated drivel you post,

and then defend with that bullshit story about your "IQ."

As I once pointed out in great detail, the Stanford-Binet test does not indicated intelligence, it indicates enculturation. That's exactly what Binet wanted when he created the test.

Keep 'em coming, Einstein, I can always use a good laugh.

In the first place, I think you're lying.

In the United States, "IQ" tests are administered in high school.

Your story about a professor ordering such a test because you were always right

(one of your more pathetic fantasies) has the unmistakable stench of bullshit.

Here are some articles on the subject, read 'em and weep, slick:

Black woman shot and killed after Kentucky police entered her home as she slept, family says
A black woman was asleep in her Louisville, Kentucky, home when three police officers forced their way inside, "blindly fired" and killed her, according to a lawsuit filed by the woman's family. Breonna Taylor, an EMT worker, died on March 13 after officers with the Louisville Metro Police Department executed a search warrant at the wrong home, the suit states.

Race baiting is never out of the question. All it does is make people victims vicariously, accompanied with virtue signaling from one who only knows half the facts.

Race baiting indeed. It is clear from the video of the incident that the jogger charges around the front of the truck and attacks Travis McMichael, and it takes two shotgun blasts to the chest to make the jogger back off his attack.

Out of curiosity (regarding the woman who was killed when police did executed a search warrant at the wrong address) - don't US Police officers all have body worn videos? I checked some news sites but didn't find anything about that.

It is an awful tragedy for everyone involved.

...now obviously being stalked by two white guys (who resemble rednecks), armed with (at least one shotgun) firearms.
