1159: IQ Tests | Skeptical Sunday

There's fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence. Crystallized intelligence sounds pretty cool. It does sound cool.

Actually, there are some organizations like that, only they aren't secret. Mensa, I know you've heard of that one. Yeah. For example, is the largest and oldest high IQ society. You have to score in the 98th percentile or higher on an approved supervised IQ test. They even have their own IQ tests. There's also the triple nine society. You need to have an even higher IQ to get into that one.

Yeah, that's right. And more than a few. We still use IQ scores when determining certain public policies. We still consider it regarding military service. And kids still take stuff like SATs, but that's not necessarily IQ, I think. That is just the idea that we can test people's intelligence and that is still alive and well, just with some healthy skepticism mixed in now.

Yeah. At a basic level, you'd hope that we'd be able to test people's intelligence just generally so we can try to make people smarter or find out what is hindering their development.

It behooves us as a society to try and figure out a way to gauge intelligence, at least generally speaking. I'm not sure breaking it all down into a single number is possible, but you'd like to think that we could come up with some sort of value.

Aha, this is the back and forth playing out to this day. And there are scholars, academics and psychologists, you name it, on both sides of the fence. Some have disputed the idea that IQ has any value at all when measuring intelligence. Others believe it can determine academic potential or has validity for clinical purposes.
