How can we assess that IQ tests are accurate when you can train yourself to get higher scores? In pretty much any assessment we usually need to recognize a consistent pattern to make an accurate diagnosis, however it's possible for a person to get better at IQ tests the more they take it, thus could perhaps prove that IQ tests aren't very accurate since you can end up with different scores the more you practice on it.
It may be true that some people are naturally smarter or dumber than others, but even if that was true, we still have a limited and/or a somewhat inaccurate measure of intelligence, and our best measures of intelligence are IQ tests. However, IQ tests are fragile in terms of scoring and not consistent the same way you can measure other things like height, weight, etc.

You can't really train yourself to do IQ tests. It's like saying "I'm training myself to find a formula for a mathematical sequence like 1, 4, 8, 16, 32". If I give you the sequence 1, 4, 6, 9, 11, your training on the first sequence will be completely useless. Your raw ability to recongnize patterns can't be trained.

There's only so many patterns though and most IQ tests use similar pattern test
Learning the pattern for 2,4,8, 16 might not help you with 1,4,6,9,11 but both will help you when the next IQ test hast the question 3,6,12,32 and 5,7,10,12,15

But why would anybody repeatedly do IQ tests to increase his scores ? Lying to yourself like that is literally a low iq trait

Check my physics GRE score too.

There's this story about that military guy that did them for fun and got an insanely high score because they did a IQ test on him and they wouldn't stop offering him high ranking positions. Now while I can't confirm that particular story is true I remember when I got drafted and also did an IQ test and the military in particular is easily impressed by IQ tests. They recommended me pursuing a career higher military officer despite literally being a fatass I thought they were joking but they were absolutely serious

This is equivalent to asian students doing 1000 times all the problems in the textbook for exams. Bug behavior

Didn't you post this already?

If not, read the replies to that thread.
tl;dr: If there's a significant practice effect, it's irrelevant unless one is trying to game an IQ score for material ends (passing entrance tests, flaunting one's IQ Langan-style, etc.). If you want an accurate result, don't sit around all day "training" IQ tests. Simple as.

If I wasn't already in the top-ranking position, then I'd be dead, despite the jews' suggestions that there's some other reason why a million higher ranked people than me are unanimously, always leaving me alive, not in my hideout but in their dungeon where they control everything, to constantly be making outrageous problems that those million people all hate my guts for.

Maybe, but it does help in your career if the company is easily swooned by IQ tests

If you can game an IQ test then that should disprove it's validity or at least it proves thst IQ tests are basically pattern recognition. If IQ tests were very accurate you should get a very similar score everytime and it's impossible to game it. Excluding leg implants and steroids, you cannot game your height or muscle strength, you will eventually hit a plateu that you cannot increase upon.

IQ tests are like judging a vehicle by its engine's RPM.
In some way sure, there might be some correlation between its RPMs and power, but it's gwnerally rather meaningless, and in the end you're likely select for the lowest gear ratio, and you can score massively high by disengaging the clutch when you know THAT is what the test us about.
