"<a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hppbxV9C63g&amp;t=33m12s"">33:12</a> It disturbs me when they put a time limit on an IQ test and then decide that speed of thought is more important than ability to keep thinking your way through a problem eventually reaching an optimal  solution. <br><br>They need to develop better tests that can discriminate between individuals whether or not one individual took 30% longer to finish the test. <br><br>There are test problems", academic challenges, jobs or careers that are so complex it doesn’t matter how much time you give to a person with a low IQ, they’re never going to get it. Tests need to be designed in order to prevent those people from getting into those jobs or schools where they completely lack capability for achievement. <br><br>When you give people more time to complete an IQ test you’re also measuring their conscientiousness level. People with low conscientiousness, even when given no time limit, will make little extra effort to solve a difficult problem. For many jobs or careers, conscientiousness is a better predictor for success than IQ. In fact, if you look carefully at the job market, companies reward people more for conscientiousness than just for having high abilities.,(reply>), @nehorlavazapalka your comment is rather vague and unhelpful. Yes, I know Dunning Kruger is.<br><br>I am an ex-Mensa member with a high IQ measured in the 98th percentile. I only scored that high because of my speed of thought as I could complete all the questions on test faster with more accuracy than other people could. <br><br>However, that score didn’t help me pass college calculus because at that time I didn’t apply myself to it. <br><br>The problem with measuring IQ or “intelligence” or “G” is that once you measure it, people want to use it for things like deciding who gets what career or who gets into what school. However, despite being an important measurement, IQ is not the only measurement we should be using to predict life success.,(reply>), Dunning-Kruger in practice. They know exactly what and how to time it.
