Would you be willing to take an IQ test, to show me what cognitive profile you need for chess?

Are you really a doctor. I am willing to be an experiment what happens a mid 40s year old will only train and plays chess tournaments.

I'm not "medicine smart" so not really.

I thought that it was more or less consensus that IQ tests are meaningless at this point. Like, pretty much anyone can achieve huge scores on those tests if you just study a little bit the patterns of IQ tests beforehand. Their results are pretty much meaningless.

That's cheating, you're not supposed to do that.

Would you be willing to take the Open-Source Psychometrics test?

then why ur flag chinese if u not a chinaman?

I don't really like showing people where I am from because I don't really like my country, so I just put some random flag.

I could use the "international" flag, but that's just lame. I rather have some weird flag like the Chinese one, or North Korea or some random island like Tuvalu.

MANIJAM_GAMEZ was banned for abuse, my goodness. Does this happen a lot on this forum? Because it's twice now that it's happened in my thread.

In other news, I have the power to post images now.

I can post pictures.

And I have the power to quote.

And post links! So, once again, with a little more clarity, everyone go take this test.

And go see the results of this test over on Codeforces.

Chess is not related to IQ. It's been proven many times before.


Has it, though?

People point out that Hikaru scored close to average on that Mensa test. But what they might be neglecting is that the Mensa test doesn't really test memory. And if there's a kind of puzzle Hikaru is good at, it's memory puzzles. Memory is a kind of IQ.

Memory is not IQ. IQ consists of very specific tests that do include shirt term memory. Mensa is a test similar to IQ but not an IQ test either. Only short term memory is linked to intelligence. Long term memory is just that. Having more is great, especially for chess i guess, where you can remember positions and preparation. But it has no bearing on one's intelligence level (which is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills).
Therefore, i question the point of your so-called cognitive profiling. Remove the IQ part of it. Chess does require several different cognitive abilities but they are not related to intelligence, per se.

Memory isn't IQ, but IQ tests have tests that evaluate your memory? Not sure I understand. This sounds like saying "Speed isn't the ability to run fast, even though speed tests take place on a track and measure how fast you complete it."

I tested iq in 2019(when I was 15 years old)in hospital.My iq is 142.Now I am 20, working for a mathematics Phd. But my performance in chess is bad..

That's the kid test, they go by different standards. Try the Open Source Psychometrics one.

What test was that? Would you be interested in trying out the Open Source Psychometrics one?

Sure
