Turns out IQ is being able to maximize things you can control while minimizing things you can't control.
so unfunny

Good reference I liked it

no one cares nerd
since the twitter drama, the juicer warlord is now reacting harder
he reacted so hard to this video ambatukam
It's crazy how XQC speaks with so much confidence on the concept of IQ when he has literally no idea what he's talking about
99.99% of people are like that and that includes you too
@@elconnidam2467 Why exactly when he only said he has no idea what he was talking about? He said at the beginning that high IQ doesn't make a difference while low IQ can make one etc. okay when he claims that did he talk with people from both parts of the spectrum? How is IQ even measured/what is it trying to measure? Why doesn't/does it make a difference in certain areas in life? What is the standard deviation of IQ from those tests, are they really accurate etc. is information he probably never researched one minute in his entire life before his ADHD kicked in talking about a topic he has little to no understanding about, and it happens all the time. It literally happens ALL THE TIME. You don't need to be an expert when it comes to IQ to understand that he is talking straight out of his ass (as he does for everything which remotely has something to do with science).

Funny and original comment
The user irirhdrko was being very rude to players in the game The Underground war. They were calling people special ed, telling people I hope your family dies, calling peoples avatars ugly, calling me and others monkeys, telling people to die, and many more hurtful and discriminative things. I hope you actually do something about this because so many people are getting falsely warned and banned on roblox, like me who got banned for saying "very fish" and got no explanation on how that is sexual. While players like @

In australia we have this thing called NAPLAN (National Assignment Program - Literacy and Numeracy) that would be used to test students math and english levels in different areas. Every student had to do it once a year in grade 3, 5, 7, 9. I honestly dont know what the point of it was since your result didnt change anything for you in school it literally is just a test to show if you're stupid or smart.
It's to help measure certain qualities in students based on various factors, such as the school they attend or region of the country.
It's administered by aliens. They're tracking human intelligence trends.
It was introduced to improve educational resources to schools that scored lower on NAPLAN. However, it seems to have become something that is used to compare schools, rather than improving educational resources. This undermines the original purpose of NAPLAN.

chat bidding xqc farewell after the iq to death correlation💀💀
My problem with iq is that it is meant to represent a single ability which explains achievement in completely unrelated cognitive tasks. Even though iq is very predictive of performance on these tasks, calling iq an ‘ability’ seems conceptually incoherent when you think about what an ability actually is.
In order for an ability to be exercised, there must some essential feature of that ability which shows up in all the tasks it is exercised in: for example, quantitative reasoning is an essential feature which shows up in all mathematical tasks, and thus indicates an underlying ability (mathematical aptitude). This doesn’t apply to iq, and the reason for this is actually by design - the g factor was constructed to explain the correlation between all cognitive tasks, irrespective of their relatedness to each other. But what this means then is that the concept of ‘intelligence’ in iq testing is inherently undefinable in terms other than its generality, which sets it up for failure if the goal is to measure an aspect of a person that actually exists.
There are subject exclusive evaluations. You can see your results per subject before they are compiled to find a mean g factor. This is a moot point.
@@mikedang3613 Not sure you’re getting my point here, I’m not denying that there are multiple subjects that are used in compiling your IQ score. I’m saying that your performance in those individual subjects cannot be explained by a single underlying ability, given the fact that the subjects themselves lack common elements between them, which is something you’d expect to see if one single ability is being used within each and every one of them. The whole premise of g and IQ testing presupposes the existence of this single ability, so the idea seems untenable to me from the get go.
He’s talking about how this is dangerous when it was used to find the kids who needed more help, like they just said in the video. Iq video’s absolutely trigger people with bad problem solving skills.😂

X really TRANSFORMED, this content, MOLDING it into something new!
IQ is the best predictor of success and intelligence we have. it's not 100%, but it's the best we have. Idk why people get so insecure and defensive when it gets brought up. It just is. Just accept that and work with it instead of denying it or going hard on it.
It's an uncomfortable truth that people aren't even equal mentally, on top of physically.
@@PantsuGod Sure, but that doesn't really matter in any aspect of life. An employer, for example, wants to know if you can do a specific job, not whether they can predict whether you can do said job based on a single score

It should be uniform by each country. Not necessarily by "culture". And you shouldn't adjust yours to suit someone elses culture whether made up or actual. Just know what it is testing.
The tests are weird cause I took on when joining the navy after I left highschool at 17 and got 146 but failed the medical due to a bad knee. I went to uni and got the chance to take another and because I was a uni it lowered to 132 because I had gone to university.

😂😂😂I saw 6 different levels of "G" on that graph. He mentioned 2.
"IQ doesn't mean shit"
90% of all genius in hystory: High IQ
IQ is useful on a population level but not very useful for most individuals.
If you’re not stupid (or a midwit), you realize that a score and correlations can’t possibly determine your ability, it’s merely a prediction. It can even be a good predictor, but why would you ever rely on a predictor when you can observe?
It’s like trying to determine your ability at playing basketball by height when you can just play basketball and figure it out instead of trying to predict. So it goes with its _correlations_ with income, academics, life expectancy, etc. It’s merely a predictor when an individual can just observe the variable in question.

I don’t think the economy rewards intelligence. I think it rewards passion. I am pretty sure in general passionate people are far more likely to make money in their profession than intelligent people, and I don’t think the two have much connection to each other.
rather then passion i think motivation and hard working but hard working isn't enough there need to be some sort i wanna rich that level and gonna work hard for it.
my example is my older brother we always thought he gonna be successful when he grow up.
@@rushyscoper1651 yeah. Motivated is a really good point too. I think they have a lot of overlapping qualities. The major difference is that motivation has a lot more independence from people than passion as a concept.
I think the way to add onto my idea of passion being a major mark of success is by adding that “good character” is needed to be successful. That’s not really true though.
To add onto your idea of motivation being needed, it is only important to have the right motivation. That’s really hard to find the right motivation though because everyone starts at a different direction. The right idea comes from knowing where their at and what works.
I think one thing that’s important to note though is that both any measurement of passion along with measure of motivation would correlate more closely to economical wellbeing than intelligence. Just passion has more of a financially profitable focus than the undirected idea of motivation, but motivation incorporates the idea of good character more easily to it. I am not sure how much character connects to success though in real life. I don’t really see that actually taking place.
Everything rewards intelligence, its what our species values the most. The capitalist economy particularly rewards someone's willingness for greed and deceit.
Intelligent people in my eyes already has higher standards in general, including passion and all qualities necessary in a given situation.
Also i dont see the need of making a distinction between passion and motivation

haven't started the video yet but one thing that gets overlooked is the EQ, or Emotional Quotient. like an IQ is about logic and reasoning, an EQ is about empathy and social understanding. and if you bank on one too much to do things in your life you neglect the other. Dr K has a great video about it
The whole vid is just gonna be about why IQ is fake and bad because it's a measure of intelligence. And we're trying to make everyone feel equal, so the concept of IQ can't be allowed to exist. It's just coddling.

I might be wrong here but isnt EQ like non-measurable? Like I mean we can (kinda) measure IQ and show it as a number, but EQ? How would you even measure that

Why isnt he reacting harder ?
The reactor 😂has returned!! 😊🎉
I didn’t know who this channel was, and now I do. Is it that hard to understand?
Among other reasons, a multiple choice question test to measure IQ is absolutely moronic. You have a 25% chance on guessing on an answer and getting it correct. Also the lack of knowledge hardly implies that you are less intelligent than someone else. Someone who hasn't had much schooling could have a much much higher capacity for learning than someone that has had the schooling. IMO standardized testing is hot garbage and needs to go away.
The standardisation removes the bias that comes from multiple choices. Your iq is showing when you say 25% chance of guessing correctly because usually there are 6-8 answers on these tests too. But it's not a tally of points, it's weighted to have a distribution. Do I need to explain more or are you understanding now?
I scored 183 on an IQ test. It doesn’t mean anything. What matters is what you do with it. I focus on the guitar. Not making money. Not school. Guitar and having a good time because that’s what’s important in life. Being real and healthy. A person with an 80 IQ that’s nice and wholesome is going to live a better life than a 130 douchebag.
Was this an online test/a written exam or one administered by a psychologist? Big difference
no real iq tests give scores over 160, they simply tell you your score is >160 since the tests in this range are very inaccurate. either you are trolling, lying, or have taken a fake test online which tried to get attention by patting your ego.
now that im rereading your comment maybe you meant that you scored 83?

Imagine how much better the world would be today and for the rest of humanity’s existence if we were willing to accept the risks of eugenics. Eugenics isn’t inherently a bad thing; it’s inherent qualities are extremely noble and productive. It’s just that in practice, it’s susceptible to corrupt motives.
There's about a million things we need to work on as a species, and I find the idea of eugenics to be somewhat of a low priority- especially when we're talking about the sweeping pretense of intelligence. And it's not as if eugenics doesn't exist in any practical manner, in the world of genetics and hereditation, it's a fairly open topic when it comes to diseases and genetic abnormalities.
Educating and improving our understanding of culture and geography will do much better than thinking about using a eugenics approach.
you can do away with eugenics and instead fund education which can improve the lives of everyone without sterilizing them
Eugenics is inherently negative as you'd need perfect selection of all positive traits to not boost undesirable traits. You'll run into the same issues as inbreeding.

What he says in the beginning, might be the same opinion for someone that has a very high IQ when looking at other people with average IQ 😂
the fact that having low IQ in our society means that you are a waste of time to teach is, like xQc said, more harmful to children and culture than not even measuring IQ at all. idk maybe if we worked on making specific tests for specific skills that would help kids see what they're good at, we'd have more grown adults who are good at jobs they love.
you're coping. if you have a low IQ score, you are dumb. That's just what it is. It doesn't hurt society knowing who is dumb

You raised a fair point and proposed an alternative gj. But you can’t dismiss iq completely, it does measure your ability to solve problems and how quickly you are able to do it. Intelligence is one of the most fascinating things and people dumb it down so much it’s sad
@@M00ONTAGE yes but people usually tend to relate iq to intelligence when they really shouldn't, someone smarter doesn't especially have a higher iq compared to a dumb person, those tests are there to calculate your "potential", your strenght and weaknesses, not so much anything else. It shouldn't be used to compare two people beceause it simply isn't made for that
@@PikChouk there is definitely correlation between smartness and IQ scores. many iq tests literally test your skills in vocabulary, mathematics, spatial reasoning, memory and so on and the score you get is directly dependant on your performance in these areas, so people with higher IQ are definitely smarter in general than others. nevertheless iq measurements do not grade your performance at individual tasks or skills, people who test higher IQs arent more skilled at everything, rather they are better at most things than people who test lower because they simply are better and faster at learning than people with lower IQs.
