    I've been teaching my kids that effort is more important than talent. I always tested well growing up, and I've also aced puzzles and things of that nature. I knew the solutions to these pretty quickly. But I'm essentially a janitor, because I never applied myself. I was too anxious and afraid of the effort required to try and become anything complicated. I squandered my intelligence. If I impart anything to my children, it's that being smart isn't worth piss if you don't direct it with some sort of ambition in life.

      As a Sr. Tech Manager in a very competitive field (AI) - It's getting harder and harder to find the "right" people to join my team. I use a variation of these types of questions in my screening interview. As you mentioned you do well on tests, and puzzles, but I mix in the stress of the interview, I distract the people during my timed pop quiz, and it's been extremely valuable in my screening process. But let me tell you from over 20 years of experience in management and hiring top people. You just don't know how people will work until you work with them. I say it to my kids, you can't teach ambition and work ethic. Either you have it, or you don't. At least at the level I'm hiring for. It's possible to learn what it takes to work hard at a young age, from your parents or other mentors, but it takes years of effort and making mistakes and learning what to do and not to do... By they time I'm hiring you, you either have it or you don't.
      Edit: Wanted to add, that stress tolerance is equally important to general competence. Without a high stress tolerance, many "smart" people are too afraid to try. They get left behind, and quickly.

But if I hadn't been able to pause or if I was sitting in that class, my mind would go into overdrive and I wouldn't be able to find the right answer due to the many external pressures (time ticking, social pressuee, distractions, racing with peers, knowing its being recorded, lack of focus etc).

    for question 3. The triangle will be black because every row has unique color of triangles. As for the lines, for every yellow horizontal line, there is only a blue vertical line possible. Similarily for blue horizontal, black vertical and for black horizontal only yellow vertical is used. Hence option 3 is correct because it has a black triangle, yellow horizontal and blue vertical.

      There is another answer, which is 7.

      Both 3 and 7 could be answers, depending on which logic rule one applies.

    For Q3 option 7:
    Each row and column has 3 diff colour triangles so must be black triangle. Excluding options 1,2,4,6,8.
    Each row and column has two vertical bars the same colour and two horizontal bars the same colour.
    This excludes option 3 as the vertical is blue and horizontal yellow meaning the row and column would have three different colour bars whereas the other colours and rows have two of one colour and one of another. Excludes option 5 as horizontal is yellow. Option 7 gives all criteria above making a pattern.

    @abrown6539 Před 2 lety +2558

    Here's the problem with this sort of IQ test: in order make the questions more challenging, you have to increase the complexity. But past a certain threshold of complexity, there is no longer necessarily a unique right answer. There is the pattern the test maker intended, but there may be others that are equally valid, and the IQ test is no longer measuring IQ, it is measuring the similarity between the test maker's mind and the test taker's. For example,
    Go to 3:56 and pause the video.
    The answer (the test maker says) is #3. There is a triangle of each color, blue, black, and yellow in each row and column, so the missing figure must have a black triangle. The crosses over the triangles are vertical yellow over horizontal black (appears three times), vertical black over horizontal blue (appears three times), and vertical blue over horizontal yellow (appears twice). So obviously, the answer is #3, a black triangle with the "missing" cross over it. BUT....
    Let's start with agreeing that the triangle in the answer must be black. Looking for a pattern we notice that the prompt can have exactly two color-matching horizontal bars in each row, exactly two color-matching horizontal bars in each column, exactly two color-matching vertical bars in each row, and exactly two color-matching vertical bars in each column... but the only answer that will serve to create this pattern is #7. Choosing #3 creates an asymmetry in that the second row and the third column have one bar of EACH color (both horizontal and vertical), unlike the others.
    So why is the first pattern correct and the second pattern wrong? It isn't, obviously. #3 is the correct choice for the pattern the test maker had in mind, but #7 is the correct choice for a different, but equally valid pattern. So if I give #3 for the answer and you give #7, is my IQ higher than yours? The test would say so, but the conclusion is unsound. This is an inevitable consequence of making the prompt richer in information - multiple patterns can be found and without any logically conclusive basis for the "right" answer, the test will give unreliable results.

    • @mcsynk
      @mcsynk Před 2 lety +207

      Nice find. I think that actually makes this question better. Answer 3 satisfies more patterns than 7. Answer 3 gives three vertical bars of every colour, and three horizontal bars of each colour. I think this is the most important pattern to consider. There are other patterns though.
      If you consider your colour and orientation matched bars par row/column, answer 7 makes for a less balanced pattern overall, because you get:
      - two rows with matching horizontal blue vs one black and no yellow;
      - two rows with matching vertical yellow vs one black and no blue.
      This is still a clean and beautiful pattern, but on the page it's distributed unevenly according to the diagonal logic established by the triangles, whereas if you look at the yellow horizontals and the blue verticals ... sorry I'm giving up. I can't prove you definitively wrong. I do want to thank you for bringing this up because it's something I used to think but now I don't (that the testers failed to see other valid patterns).
      Consider also that the wrong answer to the question might also be the one you take too long to actually decide on. Some extra intelligence can reveal possible answers that then slow you down - these questions may then be testing something like decisiveness. Also, maybe the testers take into account which wrong answer you chose... You'd have to be very high IQ to be interested in making these tests so I wouldn't be so quick to think you're smarter than them or that you saw something they missed! haha!

    • @prata6938
      @prata6938 Před 2 lety +82

      Well, I got 7 as well. However, after reading the first reply that u got from @mcsynk, i found a pattern that doesn't require rows or columns. If you look at it, each colour triangle has a different horizontal and vertical bar. Eg. the blue triangles never have a repeating horizontal or vertical bar colour. Hence, by that logic, the last black triangle would have a blue vertical bar and a yellow horizontal bar.
      In hindsight, I think no. 3 would be better if the test doesn't specify that the triangles are in rows or columns.

      @@mcsynk I think you've kind of just restated the reasoning I gave for #3 being the right answer to the test maker's way of thinking, but you looked at the bars individually rather than as a cross. But if the test makers had seen another pattern that was not logically excluded, they surely would have excluded it! The data from these tests is easier to analyze if we say the test taker either saw "the" pattern or they didn't, in which case the wrong answers should be distributed more or less randomly - which we would expect if they are all equally wrong. If you have a second answer that is actually right, but in a different way, how do you interpret the results? I think if the test makers were aware of this alternative pattern, they would have changed #7 to exclude it. Of course, with this much complexity, they might well have created another such pattern when they made the change. I think you're giving the test makers too much credit.

As a general rule, I think it is better to analyze deeply instead of just assuming what the difficulty level is and "guessing" accordingly (which is useful only to score better in a test, but serves no real purpose otherwise).

Went into HVAC-Refrigeration Had a service van within 12 months with no tech school experience. 2 years in making $35/hour and I’m flying up the ranks. Got thrown into the fire and passed with flying colors. I don’t think I’m crazy special but what Jordan said makes sense to me. Im not better than the old guys with lots of experience. But every time I see a new problem I troubleshoot it, ask for help if I need it, wrap my head around what was wrong, what could’ve been the variables involved that lead up to that going wrong. And what the techs before me had done wrong or should have done as well to prevent it from getting there or to fix the cause not the symptoms. Then I file away that knowledge and next time I see that probablem or anything similar I bust that knowledge right out and fly through the service call. So I’m just learning faster than most of my peers. My father is also in the trade and got a BS from UMASS Amherst with a 4.0 GPA. He flew to the top ranks at TRANE before he even finished his apprenticeship he was already running BEMS jobs in 25 story sky scrapers in Boston. 500 Boylston st for example. He planned, and oversaw the entire HVAC install job there. So the intelligence aspect is definitely hereditary.

    for the last IQ test, im pretty sure its No.7 and not 3, let me explain why:
    Triangle:
    There are two ways to figure out what triangle it is, first you can see that if u look at the diagonals from right to left, all the triangles match, so you can figure out that the missing one is black, you can also find that every row has every colour of triangle.
    Rectangles:
    we must compare the horizontal rectangles and the vertical rectangles separately, but they have the same pattern. If you see the rows, out of the 3 rectangles, 2 are the same colour, and one is different. Same pattern applies to columns, Now if you check the second row, the vertical rectangle can be either yellow or black, same thing goes with the 3rd column. checking the second row again, the horizontal rectangle can either be black or blue, same thing goes with the 3rd coloumn
    I think that's enough evidence that its No. 3.
    Note:
    Now stating that, we must also consider that there are millions of different ways to correlate, group, and associate data, maybe there's another pattern or different way to look at this pattern.

    2. The second is the third triangle is the colour not used by the first or second triangle, and you never have all three colours of vertical lines, and never have all three colours of horizontal lines, and the colour have the same number of colours used in each pattern. This gives you the answer 7.
    Answer 3 seems better if the lines are to be viewed independent of each other as it can be extended independently.
    Answer 7 seems better if the patterns are to be viewed as a grid as the rules work horizontally and vertically
    I can also make a argument for a black triangle, yellow vertical, and black horizontal. That would work taking the diagonal pattern bottom left to top right. (This would look great as wallpaper.)
    This is like asking what comes next 2,4,6,? The answers 8 and 10 are both right.

    What's interesting about these examples is when I was in graduate school, the psychology department did a cohort study, on IQ, with students that were taking heavily intensive math courses (topology, partial differential equations, differential geometry, group theory, advanced mathematics of physical scientist, and so forth). At the end, we took a final IQ test upon finishing our dissertation and defense examination. Of all the mathematics courses, one in particular, was found to correlate a small but a significant enough change in IQ scores: group theory. We utilize group theory, to make molecular quantum mechanical calculations much easier to deal with. Group theory is all about symmetry, rotations, inversions, and pattern recognition. As soon as I looked at one of those pictures, I instantly started thinking about group theory and group theory problems.

    The first problem could be solved in another way, imagine that the shapes are moving in the right direction, and the dots are moving in the left direction at a step. So with this, you can basically predict every other new row without needing the other 2 shapes alongside the question mark.

Besides that I have worked many jobs, and I have a really long list of interests and hobbies and some of them I have occasionally turned into money-making sources.
      So yeah, IQ tests and speed at which you come up with correct results aren't reliable. I am also not the smartest or most intelligent person out there without a doubt and yes, it doesn't bother me nor do I think that I am.

      Wait explain I'm confused what u did in ur head so the shapes go right the dots inside go left so how does that enable the prediction of the question marked shape? I think what the test does is measure ur response time to indicate how intuitively you see patterns and recognise them, as in 3 of every shape except triangle, every shape has 1 2 3 dots except triangles having 1 3 dots so ur missing triangle, 2 dots

      @Josh-cd3zf Před rokem +3

      I solved it that way too, but I think that your approach is substantially better than Peterson's approach. For example, the third question which he presented can be solved in about 30 seconds by noticing the diagonals going down and left. From observing these diagonals, we can see that the color of the triangle will stay the same, but the color of the vertical and horizontal line will change through each diagonal. By process of elimination, it thus must be a black triangle with a blue vertical line and a yellow horizontal line. This leaves only choice three as the answer and, since speed matters on this test, this method is superior.

    Maybe it’s because they’re aware of the camera, but you rarely see students following the prof around the room, let alone having their heads up in general. As a uni student, only interesting lecturers get an attentive classroom. I’ve had soooo many courses where the vast majority of students are not actively paying attention to the prof and not because they don’t care but mainly because the prof is just reading off slides, word for word. The only times I’ve been in classes where the majority of students are actively paying attention and following the prof around is when they show passion in their lectures and at least act like they have something important to share, which I think Peterson does a good job at doing

    Idk why people get all hung up on IQ tests. Jordan perfectly explains how it is only a tool to see how fast one can produce intelligence and crystallize it. (From his wording, I interpret that as acquiring, storing, and recalling knowledge) Almost all people can do that, but people with higher IQs are able to do it faster. That is why he likens it to a race, and the higher the IQ the faster you are at running.
    That being said you have to be RUNNING to make that high IQ do anything for you. It is still up the the individual to work on acquiring knowledge, and they must have the wisdom to use it.
    It is part of the picture, but not the entire picture.

Also, I've seen highly successful people leave typos in different documentations on purpose and it kind of always made since to me. Like it will be their bio or something and sentence two say, "I've making a lot of progress..." for example. Very rare, but especially in STEM fields I've seen it enough times that it has stuck out. I think they're just sending the message that it's not important to them and they want to communicate that. Which is respectable, because then you continue to read on and they have 40 patents, 30 years exp, lead this that and the other, etc. Especially in a professional setting, if a person gets hung up that a tiny error, it really says more about them than vice-versa. As well as, for social media posts it's good to have typos sometimes, because it sort of creates friction to people scrolling through and can catch more attention. Then you get commentors pointing it out, or more likes just because the message sat longer in their minds.

      Dear Mr Wa vE.
      Thank you for your pathetic condescension. Although you may think otherwise, when I complimented Petersons lecture as "brilliant", I did not necessarily infer that everything was information/knowledge that I did not know myself. Unlike you, I am able to recognize and acknowledge brilliance without reflection of my own ego to condescend over others who may or may not know such stuff. Yes, there are viewers for whom Peterson confirms/validates suspected or subconscious knowledge. There are also viewers who Peterson is "waking up" for the first time. And yes, there are others who already fully know well some of what he has said. But those of us in the first and third categories do not need to blow our own trumpet like you do. Now fuck off and grow up you arrogant prick.

      A common thing in universities (I don't know about his one specifically) is that lecture slides are released and lectures are recorded. So the slides help students to recall what the lecture was about (seeing the visual can help recalling what he was talking about by association) and are generally good for notes depending on the type of lecturer/topic (not so much in this videos case but for say maths yes). And the main thing is that the lectures are recorded in many unis mine included so you can review it and take down notes on the second viewing

Peterson didn't just follow the tide when it comes to certain social issues. A liberal who didn't change much of their political views from 2000 to now will be considered a conservative by the modern left. if you think of politics as a spectrum, the right got closer to the center on social issues and the left is drilling a whole to escape the spectrum. A modern conservative has more in common with Bill Clinton in policy than a leftist has. Take abortion as an example. The left started the slogan "Safe, legal and rare". Now who is closer to that? The right is mostly trying to put limits based on a genuine debate over when a human life starts. The left isn't bothered by women celebrating their abortions on tiktok and we have to hear about babies still alive after an abortion, to the point where they could potentially survive if provided medical care. The left goes against legislation allowing doctors to save the baby. What does that mean? Women are having abortions so late that the child is already viable if medical care is provived. It doesn't happen often, but a lot of things that don't happen often are still well legislated.

    Simple explanation of the answer to the third problem:
    First, it must be a symbol with a black triangle, because each other row has one triangle of each color. That leaves 3, 5, 7 as possible correct answers. Now, it has to be a symbol where the triangle and each of the two bars are all different colors, since the other two rows both have at least one symbol where the three components are all different colors (and they’re both on the right side). That leaves 3 and 7 as possible answers. Finally, the vertical bar on the rightmost symbol in each of the two other rows matches the color of the second triangle in that row, while the horizontal bar matches the color of the first triangle in that row. That only leaves 3!

    • @hhjg8855

I've had made an IQ test when I was 5 to enter school a year before I would have normally entered. I've had a score of 132 and a few years ago I took another IQ test and scored 134.

But if I'm not motivated and something doesn't wake interest in me I can read and hear it and study a lot about it but I just can't remember anything about that longer than a day. That's why I often study for a geography-exam in the night before the exam at midnight or later so it is in my short-time-memory.

So a two hour test takes me two hours - if it takes someone else two and a half hours to get the same number of questions correct, they would score horribly. We'd both have similar capabilities, it's just that one of us would be 20% faster at relatively simple problems.

    3:55 interesting argument for answer 7. If you look at the third column in isolation, then answer 3 would be best since it not only creates symmetry that each ideogram in itself is made of different colors, but the colors are also mutually exclusive relative to the column as a whole, one vertical bar of each color, one horizontal bar of each color, one triangle of each color, for the whole column. but when you look at the rows you'll notice that suddenly 7 seems to be the best answer as it preserves the symmetry that each row has 2 bars of a color and 1 of another for both vertical and horizontal bars. the final bit of symmetry is to look at total number of bars per color, with answer three you get the symmetry that there is three of each kind of colored bar and triangle. this really is the most whole of the symmetries so the answer goes to 3

      The answer is 3 because there are 3 triangles, vericical, and horizontal bars of each color

      @@johnpettigrew9420 The answer is 7 because there can only be two (out of the three colors) on the vertical lines. It could only be yellow or black... NOT blue.

    The first question can also be done in columns, instead of rows. Works either way
