not when the problems are novel + normed on a sample of people who take iq tests as a hobby
you cant make yourself improve 3+ standard deviations
it's like SAT prep, you can practice for the SAT but on average theres only a 50 point increase on a 2400 point scale after prep courses. practice helps slightly but it doesn't reduce the g loading enough to discredit the end result. that would be like a 5 point increase on an IQ scale.
i think you're just mad and edgy

on what measure? -
2017-01-08 at 10:42 PM UTCHow novel are the problems for someone who has spent multiple years of his life doing nothing but taking IQ tests? How do you know the test is normed correctly?
An IQ test can accurately measure the intelligence of a general population because most people don't spend years practicing, familiarizing themselves with the reasoning and developing strategies to attack the sort of problems they use. What you seem to have done is turned it into a measure of your test taking ability.
And then of course there's the eye test. Reading your posts have never suggested to me that you're anything more than moderately intelligent. -

Told you, sploo, I told you this a long time ago!The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

the problems are as novel as any vocabulary question or analogy would be. my comparison with the SAT stays.. people familiarize themselves with the question format and practice many examples. they see improvements that are mostly marginal in the majority of cases. also, my scores never deviated very much even after years. 133 and 143 were my first scores, and i've had 156 score on verbal tests so my general ability isn't influenced by practice effect. any new question requires a new approach to solve. taking the same test over and over is a different story, and 2nd/3rd attempts are considered valid. high range tests are often untimed and people have been known to spend months working on the problems. there is a standard error of measurement though, so scores between many tests can vary by 30+ points. i don't find you to be intelligent but my "eye test" you would consider less valid than yours. if a test truly has a high g loading it reduces the influence of any potential practice effect because high g loading correlates with question novelty.

wtf i want someone to refute this -
2017-01-09 at 12:23 AM UTCYour question actually gets at the heart of what is known as "intersectionality." Intersectionality, in short, is the consideration of the existence of multiple axes of privilege or oppression on which someone exists at any given time. The Smith children are black, as you correctly point out, so they lack privilege where their race is concerned. Willow is, in particular, a black woman, so she lacks privilege on at least two axes, while Jaden, as a male, has male privilege, but lacks white privilege.
They do have privilege along other axes. To my knowledge, they are cisgendered, so they don't experience all the bullshit that trans individuals are forced through. They also at least seem to be able-bodied, so they don't experience ableism and have privilege along that axis. They also, as you point out, come from a family of means, so they have a shit-ton of privilege from their socioeconomic status. I think they're also straight, though I could be wrong on that since I don't really pay attention to them, so they have straight privilege, or at least straight passing privilege.
Woah, hang on a sec. Passing privilege? What the fuck is that?
Great question! Passing privilege is privilege that one has based on other people's perceptions of their identities. I'll use myself as an example. I'm bisexual. However, I am dating a member of the opposite gender, so it's pretty easy for people to assume I am straight. Therefore, people will treat me as if I am straight because, by dating a member of the opposite gender, I am conforming to their ideas about what it means to be straight. Think of it as being able to put on a disguise, or make a choice not to take it off. Whichever works for you. Either way, that's what it means to pass.
In short, the Smith children are not privileged because they are black, but they are privileged for many other reasons, and their socioeconomic status is probably the main driver of their privilege.
When you consider privilege, don't make it just about one aspect of a person. You have to consider their identity as being made up of the intersection of many different axes of privilege and their positions on each of those axes. That's why it's called "intersectionality."
Hope that helps!
