I took a test when I just woke up and my mind was fully charged and I got 124 IQ.
I took the test again on a day when I was very tired and late in night and I got 115 IQ.
I can see how your mental state and energy affects the results. Great video btw!
That's Great sir 😊👍
yeah. The first test I ever took was the mensa norway online and scored 125 while somewhat tired then the next year took the professional version of that style of test and scored 140 15SD. So my experience seems consistent with yours but idk.
Edit: Recently I took the new version of the mensa no and scored 131 and 130 for mensa dk its possible that these tests are harder than the official test but idk will have to look into this deeper later ig
@Skulltyx that's the place where I scored 115 xd
@@realPidge if you scored that high on mensa, you are most likely very sharp
@Skulltyx
It was late night and I was quite tired. If it was in the morning I would have probably scored a little higher.
Like you said, IQ tests are only a measure of an individual’s cognitive prowess. Intelligence though, can vary depending on how well they can adapt to change. Although, some people do not like to change, but still try to adapt to it. That only makes them a stronger person.
Also I'd suggest taking online tests with a grain of salt. I've scored anything from 94 to 180 depending on the test even though I'd say 105-115 is probably a bit more accurate 😅
I was expecting you to reference the study that shows IQ changes with respect to the environment and mindset one is in. They took IQ scores of farmers with crops that sold in one season and grew the crops the remainder of the year. Due to the stress of not paying bills, the study found that farmers IQ fell significantly on the “off season” and rose a great deal right after harvests. It just shows that there’s a lot of volatility when it comes to measuring intelligence and those who are struggling to make ends meet (those with an effective scarcity mindset) are in danger of this phenomenon. The fact is that critical thinking and reasoning is more influenced by the environment more than most people realize. This is why I think leading a healthy and happy life and living up to your intellectual potential go hand and hand and are on in the same!
Hmmm, So the 1st test the farmers took they had a lower IQ score, And the 2nd test they had a higher IQ score?
To me thats only prooving that they increase score the more and more tests they take. I have a high IQ in problem solving/ critical thinking, and I always beleived the 2 things that played the biggest role were, My ADHD, because I need to rely on logic to solve problems rather then memory. At least more often then those who dont have ADHD effecting there memory, And also that I've had a rather difficult up bringing in Harlem, So ive been confronted with more life problems then most, And these 2 things have put me in a position where ive had to use these problem solving skills more than normal, and like any skill the more you use it the stronger they become. So I guess i agree with the part enviornment can effect IQ but i dont know if i agree that hardship hurts IQ, in fact i beleive neccesity is the mother of invention, People use there critical thinkng and problem solving skills the most in hardship, And there fore they remain tuned oiled and ready to go.
You always seemed like a rather smart guy to me. I appreciate this bit "yes and no, more no than yes but there is some yes to it." It's the sort of answer that would irritate some but it shows discernment and rings true enough to my ears.
Well this is a video the INTJs haven't clicked faster on haha 🤓😁
I suspect your IQ is 126-146. I'll guess 136. I say that as a backdrop to say your generosity and graciousness in offering your opinion is admirable. As for IQ, I concur that intense training-to-the-test "games the system" in local episodes "one month or so" prior to re test. I do also believe that sustained multiple-session per week exercises and practices OVER 5-8+ months CAN raise the IQ of a person by as much as a standard deviation, especially from like 90->106. Going from 110-> 126 would be harder, and from 120->136 commensurately much harder. Neuroplasticity with smart practice over a protracted timeframe CAN lift someone's IQ fairly sizeably and permanently, if the person continues to use the logic/reasoning, auditory processing, visual processing and memory/attentional skills in intense academic and/or work settings thereafter. I call this the "Practice and Use" approach to cognitive skills development. PS. This is mostly doable from about 7 years old to 18, but is accessible for most ages, but probably not as well.
Your communication is absorbed 100% by my Infj ears. I congratulate on that. Often I find the addon information wich other youtubers add make me lose focus. But you keep it straight to the point.
I think a video on the impact of IQ on social development would be really interesting if you're willing to make one. Great video this week as well!
Your I.Q. can change. My son was tested when he was in kindergarten and he scored low. He was high functioning autistic and developed epilepsy. He got good accommodations in elementary school, junior high and high school. He graduated high school with high grades and got a scholarship for college. He's a sophomore in engineering, making As and Bs. I'm proud of him! His IQ was very low in kindergarten. He probably would test gifted now. Great information in this video! Thank you for sharing!
You missed the point of the whole video lol
@@kaliciusernameI'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say by low, they mean S.D below the mean in which case, even if they were to work hard and reach their cognitive potential, going by the video, it's unlikely that the child would all be somewhat above 1 S.D above the mean (what is typically required for engineering) hence their I.Q can change statement. Overall, I disagree that g factor can change significantly but there could be issues that occur during testing which could result in the IQ score not accurately converging onto the person's g-factor (practicing every battery on the wais, depression, adhd, being tired on the day, etc).
Watching the video I just realized that IQ is a population comparative score and, therefore, people should be compared only with other people who have had the same training as you on things that increase IQ scores. For example, if you are taking the test for the first time in your life and never had training on things that increase your IQ, you should be compared only to all other people in the world who have also taken the test for the first time and had no training. If you had some training or education in things that increase IQ scores and have taken the test 3 times in your life, you should only be compared with people with the same training and experience. That way, if you get 115 the first time you take the test and had no training, for example, you should still get 115 when you train and take it 3 times. The same thing happens with mood, even though it is very hard to account for, if all people with the same training, experience and mood are compared, that would be a much more accurate score than the average of all people in the world.
I think IQ cannot be dismissed as it has its utilities in varied aspects of society, but I indeed am inclined to care less about it, especially since most of the time it's brought up it isn't in ways that I believe are the most healthy and best for its use. I'm not in the field of psychology, so that makes the odds of stumbling with good takes on and applications of IQ even worse.
However, when thinking about intelligence overall, and IQ could function as a metric in here, I do reflect on this aspect of "change". In general, agree with much of what you said here. When I think about this is that an obvious simple case point of difference in IQ is the cognitive development, as you pointed out. I also think about the decline that often occurs as you get older, past some age, I wouldn't say I couldn't try to appoint people that seem to lose their capabilities by their 50s. So I indeed think that an important, fundamental aspect of intelligence would be related to continuous exercise, not that much different from manual skills, or training of the muscles.
I was wondering this as well. So as an INTP I started tracking my IQ tests over time on a spreadsheet. I had a section for general mood that day, notable events recently happening, how "smart" I feel at the time, whether I'm on my ADHD meds, etc.
Also as an INTP, I abandoned this project after half-finishing 1 IQ test. Haha...
(For the most part, my value of IQ as a concept has dropped significantly over the years as I learn more about it and how it's just measuring one aspect of brain function. Hence, my interest in Jungian psych!)
Does add have an affect in iq scores? Or mental health like anxiety and stress because almost everyone i met said no that anxiety or stress or negative thoughts have no effects on iq scores
@@no-de3lg I have ADHD and a high IQ in problem solving/ Logic (algebra as well but irelevant for my point) which makes sence since i have to rely more on logic to figure out problems rather then relying on memory...At least more so then someone without ADHD. Also ADHD makes us learn differntly but it does not limit how much, in fact if you can figure out exactly how your adhd effects your learning and tweak the teaching to fit you can learn faster then the othodox way of schooling.

7:18 this is blessed thank you 😇
I’ve met some not so bright people who have very high IQs. I wouldn’t get too hung up on that very limited measurement, even if you do have a higher than average IQ.
What part are we talking about here haha? Short answer No… long answer….
Excellent answer Chris, so much emotional wealth here too, great video!!!
really good ending thank you
I find this video kind of humorous. Very helpful too.
I wonder if IQ tests could also represent, to some degree, artistic gut and insights. Why some people experience their feelings intensely, and naturally come to develop what they have experienced into more sharable, universal formats, and some people don't? If I define artistic creativity as the desire for expression and the ability to really invent new forms, could the mathematical measurements of intelligence encompass such traits? (I personally have no doubt that Picasso, Bach, Beethoven had high IQ scores)
I think our mind, is more or less flexible. It's like measuring the number of drops in a certain amount of water.
Troubles, dysfunctions, stress, lack of focus, disinterest, physical/mental/emotional fatigue, psychic disturbances... many things can influence the score on the decline.
I translated the sentence at the end of my results :
" the dysfunctions have caused his total score to drop, which does not currently reflect the full extent of his intelligence. "
For the WAIS IV test, when there is a difference of more than 9 points between the extreme scores, seems there is suspicion of troubles.
I agree.
Cool topic dude ! Looking forward to this.. (please please be yes, hopefully I have a little more IQ than I think I used to have lol)
I had a practise online before taking a cognitive test with a psychologist recently. It makes a difference, eg. with 2 coloured balls moving over a grid I picked out the next in line from one ball only saying 'the other ball may be random' and i could tell by her microexpression that it was a win. But I'd learnt that that was an option so didn't delve into the lack of pattern which otherwise would have bothered me.
Wow, this was a much longer and more boring comment than I expected.
I want to re-take my tests, I grew up going to school in Harlem, and had a un maintained learning disability, I was given an IQ test around 8 years old and I remember being told I scored 119 on a Problem Solving / Logic area of the test, as well as above 115 on the Algebra portion(cant remember specific result), I didnt study nor did I even care when I took the test. I didnt realise what it was and even if I did, I was so bored with school that I didn't partake in many activities. I have ADHD and I feel like that actually helped hone my Logic skills, since ADHD really impaired my memory, (wait what was I saying, Oh Yeah...) when faced with problems I had to rely on my logic to solve it rather then going off a memory like a a prior solution, more than some one would without ADHD. So its a muscle I constantly use. Just a theory.....
P.s. Not sure how I did on the grammar part of the test. Probably low 80's if I had to guess...Lol
At first I did take an IQ test,I got 140,but then I took again after 3 years but I got an average score of 125.I am an INTJ.I also took the Mensa iq test and it was really hard and I got an average score. My head hurts after taking the Mensa iq test.
Mensa IQ test is the only accurate one
So is there any way to significantly improve one's abstract reasoning skills or is that pretty much a no? Could abstract reasoning be the measure of intelligence itself?
I have IQ 148 (Mensa test). Before my bf met me, he would want to have bigger IQ. After he met me, he changed his opinion. IQ isn't everything. In fact, the bigger IQ you have the more miserable you are probably going to feel. Just focus on your goals and happyness.
Is the auxillary function and tertiary function balanced.does that mean my te and fi is 50% and 50% or is my te more than my fi.90% of the time I make decisions using logic
He recently made a video about that question.
Discussion is good for IQ
It depends.. If youre doing discussion with people who loves to dance on tik tok then it will decrease your iq
Do all people who score high in openess like INT*s has gifted IQs
Weird. I didn’t know about this. I score extremely high in openness and also have gifted IQ. But I’m not a T. I’m an INFJ. Thanks for this interesting potential connection! I didn’t know that’s a thing until right now. You just taught me something new today.
The IQ can actually drop.... mostly because of neurotoxins
Also, IQ tests, done correctly with a psychiatrist, takes hours and thousands of dollars, so it’s not likely for you to take it a bunch of times. Thus, IQ score is not something to really rely on. You probably already know or can guesstimate how smart you are pretty well
But I want to do things that are difficult for me 😢
Yesn't
Brilliant
You're wrong.
because you didn't share the video on discord D:
What is your IQ AsuraPsych?

This topic about IQ, and human cognitive abilities is actually very interesting to me. I took an IQ test one month ago, the website i took the test promised to be quite accurate, and i scored an IQ of 134. My friend, that i regard as highly inteligent, and i considered on average more inteligent than me had an IQ of 122. I am a developer by profession and my friend studies law. So IQ of both of us were prety high on this test. But at the time, i was kind of tired and felt a little demotivated, so i took the test as some kind of a confirmation of my inteligence or cognitive abilities, just as something to keep me more motivated and productive at work. I didnt expect much at that moment, and felt that i could have done better. Luckily, just recently i got back on track and i found my motivation and life discipline again, and im feeling good right now. Currently i am studying for some programming exam, and im pretty high on motivation. So i was wondering, if i pass the exam, i will probably be very happy about it, high on energy and confidence, and if i take this IQ test again, well rested and feeling better than before, would my results improve dramatically. Like 30 points increase or something similar. It would be a cool experiment to try, since i kind of like the idea of measurable IQ potential, just to check is my IQ celing higher then before. My expectations are not to high on acheiving huge increase in points, but out of curiosity and for fun, why not try it again.
Would you think IQ tests tend to measure N and T? In which case why do INFPs rank so highly?
I thought infp was dumb im infp and they told me emotional people are dumb
Wasting potential. Yup that's me alright.
I did a legit in test when I was 11 and got 107 iq did it again a few days ago and got 122 I’m 13 now
And I actually felt like the patterns made more sense to me this time
i took an iw test and got 82 iq but i think it was rong
Iw tests aren't good for measuring IQ... try iq tests ;)
Well yes, but actually no
i just watched another video and they said that the iq settles at the age of 15-16 i don't agree i took an iq test at the age of 15 but i didn't have an important factor at that age and that is Focus ,i din't care what the test was it was no value in the iq test i did't know the meaning of it ,i think the iq settles on diferently on each person but not below 20 years ,even tho i scored above average then i feel more focused on a problem and i can solve it much more quicker ,so in my personal opinion the iq can increase but depends from one to another
