Default Re: Average SMP IQ.

I have a big problem with timed tests. IQ tests are suppose to strive to be objective. How does an IQ test writer objectively decide what is an appropriate amount of time for a question to be answered? They don't, they just put an arbitrary number in there and say "Answer it in ____ seconds because that's the standard that other tests have used".

That being said, every test I've taken has me in the 125-135 range. Never take those damn internet tests though. Like somebody else in this thread already pointed out, you can randomly pick answers and get an IQ over 120.

It doesnt matter how long they give you, as long as everyone has the same amount of time its an objective test. You could use your same reasoning to demonstrate that no test could ever be objective because how do they arbitrarily decide which questions to include?
