Pattern recognition isn't the be all end all of intelligence, y'know?
give me a psychometric that is taken more objectively by psychologists
But like
even the...
Vocabulary may be biased
umm... what?
everything you're saying amount to "this test isn't perfect"
we already know that
More
we're arguing that it's the best test we have, even if ti's not that great
"The test is complete garbage and fails to account for a large number of things"
Just look at gardner's multiple intelligences
or... any number of other proposed metrics
IQ is only around because it was the first and enjoyed brief popularity among eugenics movements
is the test complete garbage when I consider differences of 20 points? or population differences?
Basically, what you're saying amounts to
"No, the test is completely okay and reasonable, any issues don't matter because it exists"
no, my agument is that if IQ tests go, so does all of psychometrics
So...
created over a century ago
iq was found to correlate with greater success, albeit not perfectly @Alice Redacted
By someone lobbying for eugenics
it's the best psychometric test
Isn't accurate
Dismissing it as "garbage and only liked because it was popular" is just stupid
The research shows otherwise
due to cultural bias, not accounting for other factors, not accounting for other intelligences, etc
we dismiss a whole slew of tests
Like
That it is a good predictor, albeit an imperfect one
tell me
what have ya got against gardener?
Also, shen
if you want to argue that psychometry is currentyl underdeveloped , fine
As I've mentioned
It correlates with wealth to a large degree
@Alice Redacted Thing is between races we do see agregate differences regardless of the tests, whatever it is measureing its showing a difference.
The issue is many scientific associations will dismiss the differences with assertions rather than actually look at the evidence.
The evidence shows at times differences from 2-20 points. There is a difference however minute becaue regardless it shows differences. But the issue is does that 10 points, lets just assume we have 10 points differences between races in any arbitrary stack lets even make blacks the best. It would demonstrate a difference in learning speed. Interestingly what I notice with IQ is that as urbanization increases, regardless of area, IQ increases. Compare rural vs urban IQ and its interesting. Generally it sees that IQ might simply be a priilage of urbanized civilizations. But there are reasons some got there faster than others. And the genes might influence the mentality that gave rise to urbanized societies.
but dont tel me IQ tests aren its best tool
Those more affluent have higher IQ scores
