How the hell is that an IQ test?

Anyone see that shit? It's just counting.

You can't expect to get an accurate account of your IQ on the internet. Besides that, IQ tests are bullshit and favor privileged white kids.

Not true Vaspim.

I said two different things - specify what you find is or is not true, thanks.

To make it easier for the both of us, I'll sum you up a response to both:

IQ tests are far from accurate on the internet because first off they only test a small portion of your IQ, and an actual IQ test measures your verbal ability, arithmetic, auditory memory, et cetera. Most IQ tests only test your logical reasoning skills, which is by no means a complete test. Besides, why would it ask your age and gender to begin with?

IQ tests IMO are bullshit and very flawed for various reasons. Give the same test to "A" in the Hamptons and another one to "B" in Compton, of course "A" is going to get a higher IQ because education-wise he's offered more in contrast to "B."

Of course they are flawed because Stephen Hawking would score as mentally retarded, but I'm pretty sure skin color has nothing to do with it, I mean my Pre-Cal teacher is Black so I don't see what race has to do with it.
Although I do see your point of where one is raised...

I don't think you understand what you said.

Not so much about skin color but considering blacks (minorities for that matter) tend to have a lower socioeconomic status, it doesn't benefit them because their schools tend to be poorer where they live in contrast to those who live on a higher status.
