The political compass survey just made me think how little I’ve actually thought about politics. I kept saying “What? I don’t know!” so I skipped that one.
One thing concerns me.… How the hell does IQ drop 20 points over four years without my having a concussion or stroke or something? I have at times subjected myself to gnarly sleep deprivation. Maybe my ADD is worse. Maybe the higher score reflects verbal aptitude. (And if so, should that count towards “true iq”?) Can anyone tell me what seems to them the most likely?

IQ tests aren’t all the same and can be a case of apples and oranges. I doubt you’re comparing your iqtest.dk score to a previous iqtest.dk score 4 years ago, are you?
No, that’s why I’m not freaking out. But I was a bit concerned over having different percentile not numerical scores. I figured they varied; but I wouldn’t have thought by THAT much. Can the “average IQ” statistic on these surveys even be at all meaningful then?
Anyway, I thought about it some more and decided I don’t care anyway. If I know I’m some degree of… smartish… I need not dwell on exactly what degree. It shouldn’t affect the things I want to learn and do.

You can compare oranges to oranges, but if you want to compare LW oranges to the general population’s citrus fruits, you’re going to need to do some work.

Definitely have a lot of research to do

Maybe you should rot13 the second paragraph, in case someone accidentally reads it before taking the survey.
Okay, sorry, I guess I forgot
