I went to that truetest.com site and when I finished answering 40 questions they asked me for $10 or $25, claiming both options used to be TWICE as expensive I like to think I actually passed by saying "oh suck my balls" and closing the tab.
Isnt 79 so low that he is legally mentally disabled?
Yes, IQ was developed in the US so that it could determine who the state needed to sterilize. Don't worry, we haven't done that since the 70s. What's scary is that in American courts, IQ can still determine if you live or die.
Slight correction, but IQ was adopted, not developed, by eugenics folks. It's original purpose in Europe was strictly academic, to determine who might have trouble and need help in schools.
It's a metric I don't really want to defend, but it's not useless; it does work in predicting traditional academic success. But that's why we have alternative teaching methods for people with alternate ways of thinking.
haha this cant be real its way too funny
The percentile seems pretty accurate for that score, but the scale on the bell curve graphic is laughably wrong.
