The way IQ was explained to me. It’s more a measure of how easy it is for you to learn and remember/apply what you’ve learned.
Why couldn’t you train yourself to think this way? I would think you could boost your score by a few points.
On those free internet tests, I get a halfway decent score. I always just assumed it was because I had a good education from K-6th. Don't bother asking what happened from 7th on.. lol
Makes it easy to understand...
IQ is Intellectual Age / Chronological Age
As we get older, our ability to conceptualize and rationalize problems, improves. The rate at which we learn to do this, is an indicator of our IQ. IQ does not measure aptitude towards striving to success, merely the ease with which the mind can grasp and expand on new ideas. Examples would be story problems, number progressions, how a shape folded along certain lines would look in 3D, etc.
How about how a room would look redecorated? I don't understand people who can't imagine a space, or a project or an outfit or a party plan. I didn't realize that there are people who cannot make pictures in their heads.
I am ranked as Bright, but have no clue how to imagine a room with a particular color with trim. I can appreciate it when it’s done. But am not the person you want picking colors.
I defer to my wife for these choices
That's interesting to me and probably makes your wife happy. Lol Maybe there is a level of practice involved.
