I took an actual IQ test administered by a psychologist and all that jazz, and earned a result of 145. My brother did the same and tested at 160, and is an idiot who leeches off of other people and wouldn't know a (academic or otherwise) work ethic if it kicked him in the nuts.
But they do give us an indisputably accurate assessment of a person's intellectual abilities, noone here is questioning that claim, is that right?
Your personal IQ does not change over the years, this is a basic rule of IQ testing. You ARE getting "cleverer" until your late twenties, and you will get "duller" afterwards, but your score should remain the same, since properly supervised tests compensate for your advantages and disadvantages based on your age alone. Your IQ is calculated based on your efficiency on the test AND your age.
Can you cite any research that shows that such tests exist and are possible to institute? Can you cite any credible research that is supported by scientific consensus that states that a person's IQ does not change? Or are you prepared to admit that you just 'made it up' or 'read it somewhere, don't remember where'?
.Though the range of difference is usually less than 5-10 points.
Where is this data coming from? INTJcentral?
