Knowledge is not IQ

[@NancyPollyCy]

Although knowledge is part of it. It is mental age divided by chronological age. That is, if at age 15 you know/have learned as much as expected for someone age 20, your IQ is 133. You're right, though, that this doesn't measure IQ because there are no reasoning or analytical questions. I had 44/50 and I know my IQ . It's not 160.

[@NancyPollyCy]

@@tonybmusic1166+While your teacher has a point, that myth about Eskimos and all the words for snow was debunked long ago.

[@oh515]

@@NancyPollyCy Knowledge helps, but a person that get 10 out of 50 can have higher IQ then a person who get 50 of 50. Myself got more than 50% but I don’t consider myself to have high IQ. Not 160. Questions like this is more about interest. It doesn’t mean that I e.g. can figure out multiple connections between the questions or answers and put it all in divers complex matrices.

[@dixonpinfold2582]

Logically speaking, the channel did not claim that it is. Not even indirectly.

[@bushputz]

@@dixonpinfold2582 The channel DID make that claim. The thumbnail stated "YOUR IQ IS160+ IF YOU ARE ABLE TO GET 25/50!" That was an assertion that your performance on this quiz could be linked you your IQ.

[@dixonpinfold2582]

@@bushputz Well, it probably _can_ be linked, can't it? I can safely assert that nobody with an IQ of 87 is going to score 50. And that nobody with an IQ of 170 is going to score 4. But that the reverse of those two things could nonetheless be true. But just saying those three things still doesn't amount to an assertion that it's an IQ test. It's still just a quiz.

[@Kiddman32]

[@kgbgb3663]

@@derekmills5394 Yep. On the "room temperature" question I was surprised not to be given celsius equivalents, but remembered what the Farenheit recommendation in my country actually was, as I'm old enough to remember such archaic measurements. I was astonished when they gave as the correct answer a temperature I would regard as uncomfortably warm, if not actually sweltering. So I checked my country's recommendations, and they were indeed as I remembered them, but converted to Celsius. Do Americans not wear clothes indoors?

[@kgbgb3663]

If you said May, give yourself the mark. It's the correct answer in almost all countries. Only the solipsistic country south of Canada would be so arrogant as to ignore 90+% of the world's population when setting a quiz, and then put it on the web as if it applied to everybody.

Especially as their "silly" answer (treating the numbers as Fahrenheit) would be the correct answer in Celsius, which almost all the world uses.

[@pickleballer1729]

How much can a question about room temperature be considered as science anyway. It's more of a cultural thing. But, as you noted the difference between F and C, I noticed something a few years ago you might find interesting. Did you ever wonder why 98.6 F is considered body temperature, even though virtually no one has that temperature? (Mine is usually about 97.4). I think it's because it was established in research done outside the USA and therefore is in Celsius, and is the maximum normal temperature not indicating a fever. Converted to C 98.6 is exactly 37 degrees. I don't think that's coincidence and I also don't think it was meant to be an average, but a max normal.

46/50 WHY give the click-bait of "IQ"? This isn't an IQ test. Just a memory test. Yeah, I've got a good memory, for many things. OLD guy here. Missing two history questions. Which airplane? Really? They ALL had extensive use! WOW! Which English King was one year old? WHO TF Knows? Had NO IDEA where Amazon began but guessed California, wrong. And number of countries in Africa. Had to pick 53 or 54, so I picked the wrong one.

[@kgbgb3663]

Yes, the time for the Africa countries wasn't nearly enough -- I can draw a map of Africa with all the countries named, but I couldn't count how many countries there were on my mental copy of that map in a few seconds! [Actually, it wouldn't have worked -- I've just done it and I only got to 50 because I was only counting the countries actually on the continental landmass, including Spain, plus the mini-continent of Madagascar, but not including the oceanic island nations nearby.] I managed 38/40, leaving out the section on (mainly American) trivia, which shouldn't be in a quiz of this sort without saying it is specifically about the USA. I didn't know which company produced that sound* software, or which king was crowned at one year old. (And I got the aeroplane question "right", i.e. the answer they said, but that was pure luck as I knew that all three answers were actually right and chose one at random.) Including the trivia section, I got 44/50, also missing the music question, the whale question, the boxer question and the counting countries question. Oh yes, and I gave myself the mark for the "room temperature" question. I gave both the correct answer for my country, and the much higher temperature that I guessed that an American quiz would say. * Bobbins. I've just looked at that question again and seen that it said _visual_ effects, not _audio_ as I unaccountably read it. I actually thought to myself "It's not [right answer]; they concentrate on graphics."
