IQ is insanely US biased and only shows how well of an education you got in the united states.

That's why africans have low IQs, because it doesn't mean anything outside of where or if you went to school.

While you're right that the tests were designed within and for a society with basic education, and that applying it to a group of people who have never had any modern learning at all would be inappropriate, the number is designed to estimate a person's capacity for learning, not to test the knowledge they've already learned i.e. through their education.

I don't think it was published. I'm taking this from an interview from his sister, whom he lived with for years.

I think Dean and Gene are both around 115, which is "too smart for your own good".

IQ tests are le retard. I'm 170. Doesn't mean shit really. The majority of these tests are given to people when they're like 12. Anyway, just wanted to say that while Morrison was an ass and was lazy in his talent (with a slightly shitty work ethic to boot), he was also incredibly literate and well-versed in how to communicate his ideas and work to a mass audience. That takes smarts or at the very least, the ability to read people and give them what they want or else secretly want and sometimes the audience doesn't even know that themselves. Morrison was one of those people who just soaked up input like a sponge apparently and then spit it back out through his own framework. I can see a high IQ test score for him. It makes sense. But IQ is only part of the story, esp when it comes to art.
>>
I think you guys should all keep in mind that, past 135, the numbers are essentially meaningless due to diminishing returns.

There is barely any difference between someone with 130 and 150 IQ.

I'm not going to stay in the thread because there's literally no topic people have more vocal opinions on while being ignorant of it, but I'll just point out your mistake here. No, IQ does not become 'less important' as it increases. It very much continues to enable you. It's just the subjects the open are being more and more blurred in the average person's mind. For a person of IQ 100, there isn't any reason between postgraduate math ability (say, 140) and Tao or von Neumann math ability (180 or so). So to them, the 40 difference 'doesn't matter'. But in reality it does.

Notwithstanding the fact that existence of a test measuring an IQ != its existence, that's not true. No wonder that someone who doesn't even know about groups designing and standardizing high-range tests would wrongly, instinctively accuse me of a personal investment in defending IQ's validity.

Also, 5 s.d.'s of 15 are a rarity of 1 in 3,000,000. Perfectly possible to exist.

In short, good job being the brand of vocal while ignorant I referred to.
