Well, I sorta disagree, there's more to goal achievement than IQ and the probability that someone with an IQ of 85 is even remotely interested in Physics to even entertain or attain an under-graduate in it is null, plus there's a whole lot of problems with IQ literature, we are barely just scraping the surface, look at Bredesen's work with Alzheimer's research for example.

But it's really the best way to sum it up.
Low scorers cope by imagining that there is a large group of people who just breeze through the test half-asleep.
Einstein famously said it's not that he's smart, it's that he stays with problems longer.
The truth is everyone stops seeing patterns. Everyone gets tired and confused.
The difference in score is based mainly on whether or not you keep pushing.

You are only saying that because you have no idea of what people less intelligent than you are capable when they focus. In the real world, high achievers are a mix of really smart and average people, and both groups push through a lot to make it.
Don't fool yourself thinking that there aren't intellectual thresholds where both high and average IQ people don't get stuck.

The speed of problem-solving is part of intelligence. There is a reason we call dumb people "slow".

Also laziness is a meme. You either engaged in activity or not. Being stupid prevents you from being engaged in intellectual activity because it's above your ability. Elementary school kid is not lazy for not getting calculus.

Not the same guy, but like you said yourself, speed is only PART of intelligence. Depth is equally important. It doesn't matter if you are quick if you can't go deep in concepts. You'll just go in circles around stuff without ever truly grasping their meaning.

i usually score between 140 and 145 on these tests (mensa no, mensa dk, JCTI, raven, wechsler, that spacial test from Cambridge and that Spanish test) although i haven't been tested officially, i'm pretty confident.

i actually live a pretty harmonious life. i've also been raised in a rich household, by the way (this is important because it may have impacted the iq to some degree).

I feel dumber than when i was about 14-18 when i effortlessly excelled in everything. People i know consider me smart but i can feel my cognition has slowed.

On the other side theres the fact you are surrounded by retards in school, and smarter people in uni, even smarter people postgrad etc etc so you dont feel as sharp by comparison.

>The authors' findings refute the claim that people are generally prone to greatly inflated views of their abilities, but support two other tenets of the original Kruger and Dunning research: (1) that self-assessment skill can be learned, and (2) that experts usually self-assess more accurately than do novices. The researchers noted that metacognitive self-assessment skill is of great value, and that it can be taught together with disciplinary content in college courses.

what that retard means that hes finding a pattern along a diagonal in the 3x3 figure set we see
so the one used in his example is the rectangle in the first row middle and diagonal to it on the right is the figure which is formed when you take the lines of the rectangle ( smaller ones) and join them at the base
so by his logic
the diagonal leading to the answer is the inverted triangle which is to under go the same operation where the base breaks in the middle and drops down from each of the vertices forming the "M" hence the answer

hope you found this explanation to your satisfaction because his logic is unsatisfactory and gay

I did solve this, but was not trivial at all. I had to use my gut because I couldn't figure it out entirely by analysis. You are either pretending it was easy or just being arrogant. Eitherway, you're being insufferable.

>>10938556
>>10938558
Look at where the middle figure is pointing at. That's where the bottom one should be pointing to too.
The middle one acts like a compass, defining the direction the bottom one should go.
Take the time to look at it and think deeply. It's not trivial like the other anon said.

To a certain extent. The Dunning-Kruger effect is more relevant with those with iq's 85 and below, especially the "kangz" i noticed not your average to below average white.

..I scored 93 I can say I always struggled in academia starting from a young age I was diagnosed with ADD. A lot of it was lack of interest, discipline at home, and I have always noticed a brain fog effect when a suffering a bout of depression even to this day. That being said i am and was always aware of my cognitive ability and it's limits. I never have claimed to be smarter than anyone else. Although i have never been quick with numbers and the sciences I am very good manipulator. I have a meme degree 2 years out of college made 57 last year which is decent in Florida doing time share sales, which i hate. I don't care about IQ, I do find this board interesting to read rather than watching TV and I do know my place in life. My only skill in life is talking and the lack of one passion, rather than juggling multiple interests at once is what I hate most about myself.

thank you for trying to explain, but i'm still not getting it.
lets number the figures like that :

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

So you're saying that e.g 8 points in the same direction as 5? and 7 points in the direction of 4?

it really doesn't make sense to me

>> No.10938722

I thought it was just grouping. If you XOR 1 and 6, you get 7. XOR 3 and 4, you get 8.

It is a good idea to increase your aptitude for solving 3x3 grid puzzles by constantly practicing 3x3 grid puzzles.

Here's how I see the pattern, it may be easier but I think most can understand this, I did not get it right when first taking the test

Look down the top-left to bottom-right diagonals (there's 3 if you can think of the wrap-around).

Notice each has a common shape (from left to right, the V shape, the horizontal parallel lines, then the inverted v shape).

Notice through each diagonal, there is an added variation to each shape (in a cycle, these are the V shape, a upper horizontal line, and parallel vertical lines)

Thus, if you move down the central diagonal, with the V base shape, you start with the v and v superimposed, then the v combined with the horizontal line, then finally v with the final variation, two vertical lines, answer choice D.
