My God, these two brainlets jerking each other off. It seems they had someone read the article out loud for them, but he omitted or changed some words to fuck with them.

Let me make one last final simply worded attempt at clearing things up lest you embarrass yourselves if you ever go outside.

The link I provided said the original, historical, formula isn't used anymore. "Mental age" is nowadays used only when dealing with kids and not on IQ tests, which use a variety of formulas, most commonly the one mentioned in the article.

Now let's step back to another Wikipedia article and do some quoting:
Reliability and validity
Psychometricians generally regard IQ tests as having high statistical reliability. A high reliability implies that – although test-takers may have varying scores when taking the same test on differing occasions, and although they may have varying scores when taking different IQ tests at the same age – the scores generally agree with one another and across time. Like all statistical quantities, any particular estimate of IQ has an associated standard error that measures uncertainty about the estimate. For modern tests, the standard error of measurement is about three points. Clinical psychologists generally regard IQ scores as having sufficient statistical validity for many clinical purposes.In a survey of 661 randomly sampled psychologists and educational researchers, published in 1988, Mark Snyderman and Stanley Rothman reported a general consensus supporting the validity of IQ testing. "On the whole, scholars with any expertise in the area of intelligence and intelligence testing (defined very broadly) share a common view of the most important components of intelligence, and are convinced that it can be measured with some degree of accuracy." Almost all respondents picked out abstract reasoning, ability to solve problems and ability to acquire knowledge as the most important elements.

IQ scores are used for educational placement, assessment of intellectual disability, and evaluating job applicants.

"Not used today"
"Unreliable"

What other buzzwords will you throw up?

So you're saying that all this time you were referring to general testing of intelligence and not ''the'' IQ test that gives a single number as metric for intelligence? So every time you were referring to ''IQ'' you were actually referring to modern methods for testing intelligence quotient and not the original IQ test? Because when people talk about ''IQ test'' as a noun it almost always certainly means the old test; otherwise they'd say an IQ test in which case you'd be right. There are many tests considered reliable measures of intelligence but the IQ test isn't one of them.

EDIT: Forgot to add this in, be careful, it has 2 pages : https://www.webmd.com/brain/news/20121218/iq-test-really-measure-intelligence#2 :

''John Gabrieli, PhD, professor of brain and cognitive science at MIT in Boston, reviewed the study for WebMD. “This is a really compelling study of an extraordinarily large number of people taking tests with a careful data analysis. It makes the case against the idea that IQ is localized in one part of the brain. We imagine that there is THE test of intelligence, but you can measure it in many ways. One measure may make a person seem super-intelligent, but if they picked another, they may seem average. There are multiple kinds of intelligence that can link to various tasks and different parts of the brain.”

And lol for the funny names kid.

So you're admitting you can't read and were arguing semantics all this time about something no one cares about or refers to when they talk about testing one's IQ?

Do you have autism on top of everything else?

Lately I've noticed a lot of low IQ posters on this website. I decided to compile a list of games which objectively require a high IQ in order to play. This way whenever people complain about any of these games being "stressful," "unfair," "tedious," "broken," etc. we can easily identify said person as a low IQ brainlet.

In no specific order:
11: Nier
10: STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl
9: Thief Gold (Bonus IQ point if you appreciate the superior pacing of Thief: The Dark Project without the missions added in Gold.)
8: Deus Ex
7: Demon's Souls, if you don't have a PS3 then Dark Souls will do
6: Siren
5: Fallout 1 (With the time limit.)
4: Pathologic
3: King's Field
2: Gothic
1: Quake (1 and 2, not 3.)

Feel free to propose some other high IQ game candidates.

Most of your shit isn't particularly brainy. Here's some, in no particular order:

1. Orbiter
2. Anything Zachtronics.
3. Kerbal Space Program
4. Factorio
5. Dwarf Fortress

If you're a low-IQ mouthbreather, you simply can't successfully play any of these games, because you're too fucking stupid.

2. Chess
1. Go
These games no longer have a point as the computer is better at them than any human is. Therefore, you have already lost, so it is pointless to play: Winners never quit, quitters never win, but those who never win and never quit are idiots.

Pretty sure the point of the game is to have fun/compete against your peers, not to be better than a computer built specifically to play the game.

Sooner or later a computer will be better than a human at doing everything, so whats the point of anything by that logic?

I feel like you're just looking for an excuse to suck at those games.

It's okay, by then we will probably also BE computers. Games will no longer be necessary when all are now Borg.

Elder Scrolls 4 is a High IQ game.

It tests you to see if you think it's any good. Only dumbasses think it's any good.
