[QUOTE=livelonger12;17734462]Pattern recognition requiring knowledge. Also, we need to consider that not everyone uses their brain identical to others, and are therefore greater in one area whilst less potent in another, and how fast a trail and error period occurs [i](we don't always get something right the first time independently, and may require several tries before accomplishing our goal; completing a similar goal would thus depend on how that memory is retrieved (we don't all attain the same techniques for memory use and consolidation))[/i]. We can also consider stochastic processes occurring throughout the brain, creating a more ambiguous response; therefore, everyone with sustainable memory and knowledge for a test would have random outcomes, can all potentially solve the problem and ultimately, equal in problem solving [i](with the exception of prior experience; again, we don't experience life the same as everyone else)[/i]. In addition, we can consider how our mind synchronizes externally, and the time it takes to proportionally activate the relative part of the brain (mind) with the relative memory. To clarify, apply the kinaesthetic and cognitive requirements for using a rubix cube whilst removing technique, and have someone solve it. So ultimately, the more independent people you get whilst occluding social synchronicity [i](i.e. to stop them from thinking alike whilst retaining a relative thought process towards the subject)[/i], the greater the probability you acquire for calculating a solution.[/QUOTE] I love how many big words you used to seem intelligent.
[QUOTE=Tetsmega;17707133]I still don't get the first joke. "Because he's 'minute'"?[/QUOTE] It's because it's a shit joke.

[editline]03:14AM[/editline] In all seriousness, those were the words my brain routed for me; I didn't get them to sound "intelligent". Words are words; their size is irrelevant to their use.
[QUOTE=Hammertime;17729561]Yeah, IQ tests alone are not enough. And it's also important to keep these kids motivated and to monitor 'em, because tons of things can go wrong... The other kids might reject it because it's a year younger, different, or other reasons.[/QUOTE] Which is why I find myself irritated that time and time again IQ tests are seen as a replacement for looking at all the factors. And regardless, in pre-university education the use of IQ tests really do seem to hold too much weight, often appealing to parents that favour elitism. Basically, IQ tests provide an interesting approximation of how efficiently someone can think, but they're not by any means an indicator of success, and no life-decisions should be based on the concept. (I even had an interview recently where an intelligence test was required to progress to the interview! Do they not trust hard earned qualifications, prefering a 20 minute test?)

as many people have said mensa are wrong, look at nicola tesla, he was a nutcase and really clumsy, but guess what!? he was over a hundred years ahead of his time! he invented wireless electricity and made the biggest ever lightning bolt! even though he was an absolute nutter and had the power to blow up the planet he was still goddam clever
