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

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."
Short term memory is not long term memory.

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

@DrakonicStriker: Try the mensa test
But both are tested in a full IQ test. There's what we call "fluid intelligence" and "crystallized intelligence."

By "cognitive profile" I mean the profile of your brain. What kind of smarts you've got.

one of the links (not the IQ test) goes to something made 4 years ago

Yeah, it's from when the people on Codeforces did this test.

ohhh the coders?
Yes, and you'll notice consistently strong memory and/or spatial abilities among coders. So if you wanna know if you'd make a good coder, you probably would if you've got memory and/or spatial IQ in the 130s.

So far, have you seen a high IQ in the reports you were given here?

Yes, strong showings in memory and/or spatial IQ so far.
I don't believe I'll find it, but I'm hoping to find someone with average memory and spatial abilities. I really do wanna believe I could be good at chess if I put my mind to it.
Then again, it's like, if I was ever gonna be good at chess, I would've started playing chess when I was a kid. I don't like chess. So I can never truly be good at it.
