Yeah. And by the way, this doesn't mean that IQ tests are completely useless either. They still have some value. An IQ test can illustrate that someone, for instance, has difficulty with pattern recognition or word association. We're not saying that they aren't intelligent, but we can identify areas for improvement.
Maybe a kid has got calculus down but needs help with creative writing. I think the takeaway here is that intelligence is complex. It's a concept that we should remain skeptical about when attempting to quantify, especially into something as simple as a single number.
Are you asking what is ChatGPT's IQ?
Yeah, in fact, a guy by the name of Akaroy Vaynin from Scientific American copied the exact questions from the Wexler Adult Intelligence Scale and he tested ChatGPT with it.
The verbal IQ of ChatGPT was better than 99.9% of the standardized sample of humans.
Maybe. But like we said earlier, there's a lot of nuance when you're talking about intelligence. As they mentioned in their article in Scientific American, ECRA asked ChatGPT, what is the first name of the father of Sebastian's children? And ChatGPT couldn't get the answer. I tried it when I was researching this and it couldn't get the answer either.
Full disclosure, because chat GPT is getting better all the time. And perhaps somebody from chat GPT read the article in Scientific American. I did it right before you and I started taping. It got the answer.
Oh, perhaps you're struggling with riddles, but you're crushing pattern recognition. Doesn't mean you're not intelligent.
Yeah. I'd say that the Wexler one, the Stanford Benet 5, Raven's Progressive Matrices, the Cattell Culture Fair Intelligence Test, those are the most highly recognized IQ tests out there today.
Exactly. Don't take it to heart. Even though IQ tests have certainly come a long way, they still have a lot of limitations. Real world scenarios, emotional intelligence, unpredictable situations. These are all things that can't be measured really in any of those tests.
AI systems are great at applying patterns based on its training. And obviously, a computer is naturally going to be very good at math. But that doesn't mean that they have the kind of broad adaptive intelligence that humans possess. Crystallized intelligence, if you will. I told you only Master Yoda has crystallized intelligence. Man, such nerds.
Yeah. You just won't get into the triple nine society. Which is their loss at this point, I think. I don't know. Exactly. I agree. But in all scenarios, I think what's important is that intelligence is incredibly complex. It's more than a simple three digit number or in some of our cases, two digit number.
And whether it's emotional intelligence, creativity or problem solving skills, there are many ways to measure it or more accurately to try and measure it.
Now that you've put it that way, I kind of feel bad that I kind of labeled my friend who took the IQ test eight times as dumb.
That said, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and we all need to be very cautious and skeptical about putting too much stock in any single test or number.
While IQ tests can offer some worthwhile insights, they're just one piece of a much bigger puzzle. They can help us understand certain cognitive patterns, but they can't and shouldn't define who we are or what we're capable of.
Exactly. And take AI, for example. ChatGPT may ace the Wechsler test, but it doesn't have the same holistic intelligence that we humans possess, at least not yet. Human intelligence is much more nuanced than that.
Sounds like maybe you did take one of those tests.
I say go for it. Just remember, it's not the end-all be-all. It's just another way to get to know yourself and help your intelligence grow. I couldn't have put it better myself. And who knows? Maybe you will be inducted into Mensa or the Triple Nine Society. Or maybe you'll just take pride in being a great podcast host, Jordan.
