IQ tests.

[Chobham]

So who ever JE is, she/he has fixated on the subject. Me? I think there's some trauma in her/his background there, but back on subject.

Ever since the 1960's the assertions of racial bias has polluted the science. "Those tests are written by white me."

Fair enough, but it seems to me that if a test is biased in that manner that it's easy enough to concoct a test that's biased in an entirely different manner. Where is that test?

 

[pecksniff]

Psychologists are no longer certain of the existence of a single general intelligence factor g. See the theory of multiple intelligences -- one would have to devise a different test for each axis.

 

[Chobham]

Where's the test?

 

[AlexBailey]

The IQ tests I'm familiar with have three different sections. Someone can score high in two sections and low on the other yet still have a fairly high IQ. I'm not saying they are perfect but the tests do make some considerations for scoring parity of different kinds of intelligence.

They do Alex, but that avoids the core issue of bias, an argument that has persisted since the 1960's.

My hypothesis is simply that if someone can concoct a biased test, then a counter test can be concocted as well.

Where's the counter test?

 

[ll74]

Why is a "counter test" needed?

 

[Dribble]

Why is a "counter test" needed?

Because he took one and only got a 92

 

[Biggs_Darklighter]

IQ tests are bullshit and most people who claim to have taken one haven't and almost nobody who takes a real one knows their score.
It's a pointless argument from the getgo.

So are you indicating that in order to eliminate biased IQ tests a black person should concoct a test for black people and a latino person should concoct a test for latinos? Sounds pretty divisive to me. I've taken many and always thought is was a measurement of a human's intelligence. Maybe we should diversify the IQ test even further, maybe include transgender or a whole range to accommodate LGBTQ.

Another thread about race?

Triggered boomer much?

How do you think this idiot scored on IQ tests?

You people are still alive?​

I figured The Vid had killed all you old fat fucks by now.

Well cheers to surviving against the odds!! Depending on the odds maker you use I guess…

The cost of COVID-19​

​

• Unemployment estimate of 20mill plus
• An estimated 10% of 30mill small business to go out of business.
• Disaster Distress Helpline ran by the US Department of Health and Human Services has seen a spike in calls of 891%.
• National and State suicide hot line are reporting increases in call volumes in excess of 300%
• Local and State law enforcement are reporting increases in domestic violence calls ranging from 20% to 35%.
• Historical data based on prior economic downturns/recessions suggest:
o 35% increases in drug and alcohol abuse
o 28% increase in depression
o Drug overdose death rate increase from 20.7 per 100K to 23.8 per 100K
in 2021. An estimated increase of over 10K per year.
o Suicide death rate increase from 14.2 per 100K to 16.7 per 100K in
2021. An estimated increase of over 8.7K per year.
• Unquantifiable increase in neoplasm and cardiovascular deaths due to delays in treatment and diagnosis.


But hey...on the bright side, we have gone from averaging 50K deaths a week to 40k. Mostly due to auto accidents and elective surgeries.

and maybe, just maybe. All the idiots will take a honest look at the difference in national and private healthcare in terms of both being prepared and results......

For Posterity

Since this is what I do for a living (well, use to before becoming upper management) <---(LMAO)

Here are the current results of my model:

I have a current prevalence of 5.4%. So 17.8m cases, 38k deaths, .21% mortality
By the end of year prevalence will be 6.97%. So 23million cases, mortality stays constant for 49k deaths. W/O social distance the numbers would have been 37mill and 78k deaths at a prevalence of 11.34%

This compares to the flu at 35mill and 34k deaths.

So now you all can come back in 2021 and laugh at how wrong my numbers turn out because you don’t understand how models work...

Wear a mask!

OMG Spike spikes spikes!!!

Sure... there is certainly some spikes. But how would we know the degree?

Testing has increased dramatically. The CDC publishes guidelines on including "probable" testing in the actual results. People are taking multiple tests, being tested coming in and going out of hospitals. All results are counted. Even if it is the same case. Labs are reporting 1005, 80%, 90% postivity. Impossible numbers. Admitting they are not reporting negative cases. Reporting procedures vary from state to state and lab to lab...

All while the deaths continue down...

That just stupid! Deaths lag!

Sure they do... by 10-15 days. Yet we are 5 weeks in to this spikes.

Well hospitals are overwhelmed. Capacity is exceeding 80%!!! Death and doom I say!!

First of all. 80% plus bed use is normal. If hospitals do not have 80% plus bed use they go out of business. Second, while the media screams ~80%. What they do not tell you is ~60% of that ~80% is not Covid.

For the all citizens we have a disease a little worse than the flu. For those under 65 with no comorbidity we have a disease less dangerous than the flu.

So at the end of the day. Deaths decline, mortality declines, no one is overwhelmed.

But yet it is a election year. So for a few more votes, to get the sheep in line...

We destroy the economy. depression increases 300%. Drug and alcohol use and deaths increase. Domestic violence increases. The damage we do to are kids is severe and will be felt for years.


Shame....

That certainly would be the case. But more to my point is there a test that can be given, world wide, where Asians consistently score poorly but Latin's are at the top. Reshuffle the races any way you want, but the results HAVE to be consistent.

[HisArpy]

Where's the test?

It's called the MMPI II.

 

[mayfly13]

interesting how they made Zimmerman's face light brown, and his wife and kids Asian looking. Then White men turn up on his posh doorstep

what would Lit. be without the trolls....
I see that bb alts, Luk alts and philthy are still alive and kicking hard.

They are swirling the bowl of the toilet of history and trying very hard to avoid their impending fate. You can observe this by seeing how deperately they're lashing out in their effort to get noticed and responded to.

Don't.

RAPEY responding to the alt-making retard about people who actually don't make alts is a carb-based fuck up.

This is the same idiot who thinks Luk and Phil are the same person.

The denominator is the human race. I guess there has to be a constant to measure against. I took a few in grammar school ( 3rd and 7th grade ) and not even my parents would tell me the results.

Actually, a battery of psych tests administered to gay and non-gay folk helped remove homosexuality as a mental disorder from the DSM.

I'll keep hammering away. If a test, or in this case multiple tests, can be designed to be biased in one direction, then those same tests can be designed to be biased in a completely different direction. The very act of being able to design the tests in such a manner will absolutely prove that the tests are biased and forever end the debate.

Where are the tests?
