🧵 How to tell IQ empirically

Anonymous No. 16079815

I hear a lot about IQ in science, but can someone give me pointers how I can tell someone's IQ in practice? For example I watched this guy who has an IQ of 70 and in practice he just sounds like a coherent, self-aware, logical dude: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjDXvXACIEA

In practice: their command of language. If they can easily communicate a complex thought or topic discourse while using an advanced vocabulary then they’re very probably high-IQ. For example: https://youtu.be/861coSFLOvk?si=7FfJISkNT3RwKdXJ
I want you to pay attention NOT to what she’s saying, but rather the manner of how she’s saying it: cool, organized, succinct and communicative. Her high IQ allows her organize her thoughts and communicate them smoothly and effectively, interjecting extensions where desired to add emphasis to what she wants to emphasis without breaking her train of thought or structure of her statement. The slides are just talking points which her mind organizes full thoughts around and plans out their communication to the audience. It seems very natural for her, ie, un-rehearsed, because it IS natural for the high-IQ brain to operate that way; she doesn’t understand what it’s like NOT to operate that way.

Not that guy, but I think the basic idea he's trying to say is, intelligence is highly correlated with ability to abstract and reason on the abstraction.

This makes sense. For example, if you take a look at theoretical computer science, it takes at least above average IQ to really *understand* and *reason* theoretical constructs (as to why some idea is better than others, for example). This is because we are working on a level of abstraction (bird's eye view) and at the same time, implement a concrete "thing" using those abstract concepts. This pretty much applies to everything (information theory and its vast applications/implementations).

Whereas if you look at web-dev for example, you can even be a low IQ code monkey and still get into web-dev (which is why lot of people are doing it -- if something is easy, it means that doesn't require high intelligence).

In this same case, if you to implement a browser or contribute to Chromium for example, it takes high IQ (high IQ individuals "provide" for low IQ individuals -- most tools, (good) frameworks, etc. are usually written by high IQ individuals because they can abstract away and implement something that is concrete whereas low IQs use those tools, frameworks, etc. to build something that doesn't require high intelligence).

yes, that is part of reasoning but as far as your interpretation of the post you were explaining goes: I think you are most likely wrong about that.
That poster was raving about the orating skills of the woman he was posting.
like literarily he was saying "If they can easily communicate a complex thought or topic discourse while using an advanced vocabulary then they’re very probably high-IQ." <- you see that word 'communicate'? you see 'advanced vocabulary'? the focus is on the use of language, not on the reasoning part.

Analyze what they're saying logically, and you can get a general grasp of how logically exact they are, and thereby high IQ (do not appeal to information known by you but not them, or to your own arguments which refute the premise; just analyze the logical structure of their arguments).

Usually only works with people lower IQ than you.

And this is a great illustration of the contrast between low-IQ and high-IQ. When I tried to explain how someone communicates ideas illustrates their intelligence, a high IQ person can successfully identify the abstract concepts being conveyed without being told explicitly, just by making inferences based on the abstract concepts I was describing. What is "meant" vs what is "said". To a low IQ it doesn’t go past "she’s smart because she speaks well"; a low IQ is unable to grasp the abstract concept. Furthermore when the high IQ tries to break down his reasoning into concrete details, the low IQ can’t make sense of it and remains stuck on "she’s smart because she speaks well". To the low IQ it may seem like the high IQ is trying bamboozle him with confusing contradictions.

I gave it a few thoughts and this is my answer:
Adaptability. Intelligent people are good at adapting to their environment - and the smarter they are, the better they adapt. Thus - and this is more heuristic than real classification: If you find someone absolutely excelling at what they are trying to portrait chances are they are smarter than the rest.
That does not only apply to mathematicians and physicists but also to super market employees and bullies.
Reason is I know a few people who are by all account very intelligent and through and though able to hold their ground in topics usually deemed an exclusive metier of 'intellectuals' despite lacking any formal education - but who for the very reason of no formal education try portraying themselves as 'working-class-blokes' in an attempt to fit in - and when they do so they dominate the idiots in their automobile-obsessed idiocy (and all other fields of stupid working-class-obsession).
(and yes, language can be a give-away, but doesn't have to be ... but excelling at shit almost always indicates some kind of intelligence. even if it's excelling at idiocy. )

imagine you're having a bully. if you add extreme intelligence to him being a bully is he better at being a bully or not? obviously he's going to be better. now do the same thought experiment for every profession and or social role you can think of. you will find that as a rule of thumb intelligence increases your ability at excelling in the role you choose.
now consider the problem that not all intelligent people end up in academia. according to mensa (who very well may lie about it, but ... well let's just go with it) there are extremely intelligent people in every walk of life. from post-man to pimp or whore to something your elitist ass considers smart.
you will not be able to identify them as being smarties from everyday interactions since these are usually limited to a few formalities like saying 'good morning', which I am quite sure even idiots manage to do.
so as a heuristic: you look at the mean of post-men and those who excel at it will be more likely to be smarter than the rest as that is a common observation with all things intelligence. right?
so now that I explained to you my reasoning, please explain yours as simply saying 'it's equating having many children with high iq' is not only much of a counter argument but also grammatically incorrect. (and I say that as this guy: >>16080266 )

Not that guy, but I don't think that's what he was trying to say. Your definition applies to someone who is hypersexual but have low prefrontal cortex activation aka having more children despite not being able to afford to raise them all. Having more children isn't an adaptability trait, so your point doesn't make sense. Also, intelligence and "adaptable behaviours" doesn't really go hand in hand. You can be highly intelligent in one thing but absolutely retarded in another. For example, you can be highly intelligent but have very mental ability to regular yourself (there are many high IQ inventors that committed suicide or died by most fucked up shit). Few example that comes to mind is Hans Berger (who killed himself), Erwin Schrödinger (a literal pedophile who documented his pedophelia in diary), Ludwig Boltzmann (killed himself), etc. etc.

I don't know martial arts enough, but given that I spent the whole day playing around with different classification algorithms: if you accept a certain amount of uncertainty I am sure it works. I mean in the end you decide on a distance-metric and measure the distance to your closest ranking and than either go with that or you interpolate ... )

either way I am sure you can come up with a measure of combat-ability based on some arbitrary metric you deem determining for combat ability - just like with IQ.

I don't think so. You're right that high-IQ individuals can underachieve even compared to inferiors, but is it the rule? I think not. Of course you are going to have a certain spread - especially since IQ isn't the only determining factor for life outcome, but I honestly belief you will find that in the mean a higher IQ will correspond with more achievement (as determined by the oppressive beliefs of society).
Just like with boxing probably measures like amount of Fast-twitch muscle fibers, or training, or strength (I honestly do not know much about martial arts) might have a predictive edge in determining the possible career of a boxer.

> Gleick's bio actually puts it at 125. There are a couple reasons to not care about this factoid:
> - Feynman was younger than 15 when he took it, and very near this factoid in Gleick's bio, he recounts Feynman asking about very basic algebra (2^x=4) and wondering why anything found it hard - the IQ is mentioned immediately before the section on 'grammar school', or middle school, implying that the 'school IQ test' was done well before he entered high school, putting him at much younger than 15. (15 is important because Feynman had mastered calculus by age 15, Gleick says, so he wouldn't be asking his father why algebra is useful at age >15.) - Given that Feynman was born in 1918, this implies the IQ test was done around 1930 or earlier. Given that it was done by the New York City school district, this implies also that it was one of the 'ratio' based IQ tests - utterly outdated and incorrect by modern standards. - Finally, it's well known that IQ tests are very unreliable in childhood; kids can easily bounce around compared to their stable adult scores.
> So, it was a bad test, which even under ideal circumstances is unreliable & prone to error, and administered in a mass fashion and likely not by a genuine psychometrician.
> As the saying goes, the plural of anecdote is not data, and this isn't even a very good anecdote. (I charitably assume that Feynman isn't joking here about the score; Gleick gives no source.)

So far it seems intelligence is about abstraction. The guy in OP's video is logical but there's no abstraction, it's very hands-on thinking, so good for him for staying to what he can manage, but he wouldn't fare well in a subject that involves heavy abstraction. IQ tests are also about abstraction (patterns are abstracted from the images shown), this image (>>16080227) also hints at abstraction (hands-on vs reading), the language post (>>16080148) although focuses on language is in fact about abstraction.

Long story short, you can't necessarily distinguish high IQ vs low IQ unless the topic turns to something that involves some amount of abstraction.

I've identified a number of small defects that add up to some fairly clear "signatures" in their internal constellations, which resist being rearrange. A good example is this post >>16080148
He's operating on the ancient notion that logic and language are two sides of the same coin, that they're connected. There's also an embedded presupposition that the universe is rational and logical, which implies he doesn't understand cognitive sinks and basically doesn't know how to think, he just hears and recites. Which is why he thinks language is thought.

I'm just going to go with capacity for abstraction and mutability. Intelligent people are able to divide the mind and aren't slaves to language or a superficial and immmediate sensation of cognitive dissonance (ie deconstruction and gradual recombination), unintelligent people are not and can't do any of those things because they only have one internal "box" to work in. Once that working memory is tapped out that's it for them, they have to dump it all. They don't like loose ends, they have a default anchor reality which they need to be solid and singular, therefore they're prone to highly linear thought and thinking in binary absolutes, because it's the mentality a domesticated animal needs to think quickly and "good enough".

You'd be surprised as to how many things correlate with IQ. Even something like performance in a minimum wagie task like a McDonald cashier or cook is correlated with IQ. Credit scores are correlate with IQ, Income is correlated with IQ, educational attainment, vocab count (especially this apparently), etc. Any one thing may be a bad indicator of IQ as the correlation may be low but taken altogether you can get a good estimate, so you perform what basically is a rough bayesian estimator in your head and you could probably figure out someone's IQ well within ±10.

Another way to do this is that actually smart people will be perceived as smart on average. Some people might think they're dumb even though they're smart and vice versa so you have to take the aggregate and you can even get a rough estimation using that as well.
