A rare time you see Lex interrupting his guest for a whole long minute, basically to say that yes he's heard about the MMPI test
Comment from : Mircea Chiriac

this interview kind of made me think Lex is less smart than I thought🤔 I think he still doesn't get what dustbowl empiricism is He kept asking how they come up with good questionsthey are random, Lex Random questions They measure which ones are good with statistics

Dust Bowl empiricism

As someone who likes puzzles I did a IQ test online once and it's like the best kind of puzzles ever I highly recommend !

I’m just trying to figure out what the G factor is

Fascinating chat Thank you
Comment from : gbickell

I visualize a phone dial and I can remember the pattern frontwards and backwards Does that mean I’m a visual learner and is that cheating?
Comment from : Christopher Ozar

Regarding the light testbrbrYou see this is another example that what we call intelligence is just Clockspeed:brbrHow fast one thinks; which causes a subjective slowing of time More time to process info and more time to make a decision
Comment from : bob mcbob

Working memory and vocabulary which is essentially correlated with a diversity of known concepts Pretty easy to understand why that would be two of the highest indicators for intelligence Both of these things are improvable as well

I'm not 18 yet but once I'm 18 I'll do my IQ test

IQ test are a shame they don't test on street smarts!!!!
Comment from : MONK

I casually take these stupid IQ tests, almost like a speed run, I end up with 140 minimum, it scares me how high it would end up given I try harder……
Comment from : J Martinez

It is more simple an IQ test measures how one compares to other people in a group/population on a list of cognitive tasks The resulting tests correlate somewhat to one's intelligence but not very strong The test are getting better and better though over the years
Comment from : Maktiki

Algorithm
Comment from : Mike Hunt

So chess can also be a measure of IQ? (holding information on different variations, finding the best variation, time management, etc)

"I quit" 😂
Comment from : Ron Ray

I would have ask Haier about Ravens progressive matrices test Would have been very interesting
Comment from : Hugo Lachs

the MMPI definitely does not ask random questions such as your favorite presidents this guy has clearly never taken it
Comment from : swiftyswifster2

Very informative On the topic on reaction time, perhaps this is why FAANG interviews are so caught up in having a time limit for their algorithm challenges It’s intense on the interviewee but as Richard mentioned, it’s a way to put a spotlight on those who process information quicker

What a disability has to do with knowing what regatta means?
Comment from : bobocpe

It looked like Lex was really thinking deeply about a lot of things during this interview squinting so much too cute
Comment from : Amy Daubeney

Lex had been unusually proactive in this clip

After this I am certain I am pretty dumb
Comment from : dmaxcustom

No tiene sentido en una prueba hace años saque 90 y tantos y ahora que tome el test he sacado 122 como aumente mi IQ
Comment from : Dario Goutier

Academic BS Lets please be honest If it weren't BS the amt of changes to it would be rare because it would test intellect from basic principles
Comment from : Jesus Martinez

I can't help but suspect that composure under stress (testing IQ for example) has a significant impact on test outcomes; some questions produce significantly more stress than others, such as repeating in reverse a string of numbers--on top of the underlying stress of taking the IQ test because if what the test taker feels is at stakebrDid Newton or Einstein have a time limit on their discoveries? The deepest and most complex problems cannot be solved by imposing "time limits"! Therefore, what do IQ tests actually reveal? Geniuses produce original work--how many with those of very high IQ's produce original work, as opposed to and distinct from merely being "successful " in social and economic terms?
Comment from : Robert Buratt

Lex made me feel better when he did not know what regatta was

I imagine that high iq people have vivid imagination notepads/realms
Comment from : Kyler Richmeier

"Too far afield is actually one of the names of this podcast"brYou come out with a lot of great one liners Lex Very entertaining
Comment from : Mo Jo

IQ like a ruler or a scale or a barometer or a speedometer is a measuring tool (of cognitive power) If you have to add an extra factor to it ( time limit) in order to increase its accuracy and validity, it means your measuring tool is flawed!! brInstead of taking time into account, you must make better questionsbrThank you!!
Comment from : William Flaherty

If you have a bucket that holds 2 gallons of water and another bucket that holds 3 gallons of water, how many buckets do you have?
Comment from : William Flaherty

every challenge will always have some structure to it, thus prior familiarity can never be eliminated as a factor in solution finding nothing is innately novel

Lex saying he sees himself as a psychiatrist because he loves robots, is so fkn telling of what kind of guy he is, hahahahha WHO SAIS THAT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE HOW CAN HE BE SERIOUS hagahahha jeeeezuz christ 🤣 thats the mist autistic thing anyone said ever

This Minnesota thing sounds a lot like spurious correlation Alarming
Comment from : Matteo Girelli

I've hired/interviewed a lot of different people while working as a software architect and as a consultant Personality, previous experience, etc, everything just pales in comparison to intelligence and industriousness Intelligence definitely coming in first place Because intelligence is exponential, someone with 130 iq learns many times faster than 115 iq Same thing with 145 iq vs 130 No one wants to spend 10 times as long teaching someone
Comment from : William Hewitt

The difference between causation and correlation is crucial If you have causation, you already have half of the scientific theory Correlation, however, might mean something, or it might mean nothing 95 of psychometrics is correlation
Comment from : immortaljanus

I still don't quite understand how a high vocabulary correlates with a high IQ To me, it seems like a vocab test is a test of crystallised intelligence, whereas I think IQ should be a measurement of fluid intelligence brbrTake an uneducated kid from a poor place anywhere in the world IQ does not discriminate, intelligent people are everywhere This person would likely score significantly lower on the vocab test and as a result, would be measured as being less intelligent I understand the other side of the argument but I overall think it's an extremely poor measurement
Comment from : daniel

Ok Lex your slipping! Even I knew what regatta meant… hit me up and let’s chat brCliff
Comment from : Cliff P73

This aspect of time is interesting, I wonder how general this is, because I know some people who will take their time thinking about a question or problem, and respond with a brilliant answer or solution, and others that will respond near instantaneously or come up with say a programmatic solution very quickly and although relatively sufficient, the longer processing method wins out in the end almost every time And I genuinely find the slow thinkers to be some of the most intelligent people I know
Comment from : Emil Klingberg

So how do I test my IQ?

Who the hell are you to consider yourself whatever the hell you want
Comment from : Abbas Alhadad

It makes me think of the IQ correlation to Wordle but you still run into the whole "regatta" problem Although a five letter word is not a big hurdle
Comment from : By Way Of Deception

If everybody is telling you you are stupid, you don't have to do this test
Comment from : Sara Dobravc

Sincerely do not want to know my IQ score
Comment from : esj8341

I think IQ test have gaps that do not measure certain aspects of intelligencebr For example long term planning, deciding between a thousand choices by seeing the big picture, not just choosing from six pictures in a test, which you are limited for time brWhat about long term memory, applying information you have aquired in an intelligent way to make a 'big picture' decision in the present to get the best solution in the long term What about using all your acquired long term knowledge to merge learned information to form creative solutions to a current problem, or even just to make something unique and creative like a work of art, or an engineering masterpiece IQ tests do not measure this which is a very important aspect of human intelligence that is used for the things that really matter in life, such as career choice, financial planning, family planning and more There seems to be a lot of focus on speed in an IQ test which in day to day real life is mostly only beneficial for trivial decisions I think this is probably why the majority of psychologists believe that an IQ score is not a true measure of overall human intelligence brI think it is handy for measure certain areas of intelligence, mainly reasoning

How many kilometres from Washington DC to Miami? Let me tell you, there is small state in the southern most India called Kerala, with a population of 34 million, where quite a a big number of people have contemplated this question at some points in their life 😀
Comment from : Vincent Joy

How many kilometers from Miami Beach to Washington DC? That is a classic dialogue from an Indian movie I must share this all of my friends immediately, that is so funny on so many levels!!!
Comment from : Andoga

I knew what Regatta meansbrbig hello from Henley by the way
Comment from : Phil

Adding a time limit, though, also provokes a stress reaction, which can worsen the performance
Comment from : Elite7555

Wow really impressed Lex also considers himself a psychologist

The answer to the question in the thumbnail is 1, 3, 5, 6 and 9 if you think of the grid as being numbered 1 to 9 and the answer being the blue squares
Comment from : ASMR Chess

This is the 2nd video I watched by Lex F He said: "I consider myself part psychologist because I love human-robot interaction and half of that problem is a psychology problem" This ONE QUOTE demonstrates he is a pretending, that he's ignorant of complex topics (like psychology), and probably has dominant narcissistic featuresbrbrImagine someone claiming "_I consider myself partly a particle physicist, since I love sand and sand are particles_"brbr[and for those unable to see his strong narcissism, examine his "write-up" for this video's description (click "SHOW MORE"): he has bONE sentence/b about his guest, and b22 lines/b about himself!]

We all have a limited capacities different from one to another & the successful one’s use their abilities to it’s limit & intelligence/environment/upbringing/opportunities are all variables

I love to see Lex puzzled!

IRM if you aren't affraid about the truth and the money^^
Comment from : empGaming&Music&Movies

That point Haier makes pertains to the complex emotions that are expressed in the differential sequenses of human thought and emotions that hug and tug at IQ outside the bounds of the EGO experience of Life
Comment from : Jorge Landell

When I took my IQ test I scored really high and got a -199 and I was so proud of myselfbrPeace
Comment from : TheSoulbrother

I thought the best measurement of intelligence was disheveled hair and a total lack of common sense 😋
Comment from : chip mchugh

The only thing IQ tests indicates, is whether you're good at taking test
Comment from : Far q Sideways

They are not mutually exclusive but I think that being curious is just as important as having a high IQ The thirst for knowledge is its own reward
Comment from : metaspherz

Lex should really pay some attention to JR and stop interrupting his fucking guests 😑

I am interested to know what is " excellent testimony " To me its just testimony info to be weighted with all other info
Comment from : Edward Macintosh

So basically doing stimulants like Adderall raises your IQ by increasing the speed of information processing? No wonder everyone does them
Comment from : Gerardo ZG

If IQ measures speed of processing what measures maximum attainable speed, it looks like iq is a test of the minds torque, but if we were to give a series of questions with no time limit that got increasingly difficult so as not be able to Solve them within the standard measures of time allocated to traditional IQ tests, would people who do well on IQ solve these problems any better than most of the population

p̷r̷o̷m̷o̷s̷m̷ 🙃
Comment from : Nicholas Carpenter

Who has looked into the schmuck who originally created the iq test? The purpose of it's creation? Something about trying to validate a concept dubbed the great white burden To qualify a certain superiority Or how later the questions were stacked (as alluded to in this clip, re regatta) against certain classes of society In particular to try and justify parts of the eugenics program im the US You know, the government regulated and court sanctioned sterilisation etc of the low bred stock? I see many people using the comments section to boast their score, subtly or not The might want to use some of that superior grey matter to learn what they are boasting about Another tool of division
