It seems people are scared to take the cubes test. You should be. Preliminary norms suggest the test is VERY VERY VERY hard. Of the readers who have taken the test so far, nine of you reported scores on either the SAT or the Wechsler. SAT scores (reading + math) were converted to IQ (U.S. norms) depending on the time period they were taken. If someone reported scores on both the SAT and the Wechsler, I took the average of both.
I found a 0.48 correlation between raw score on cubes (out of 17) and reported Wechsler/SAT score. After correcting for range restriction, the correlation increased to 0.58. By lining up the cube raw scores from highest to lowest beside the Wechsler/SAT scores from highest to lowest, I found the following rough equivalencies. Do not extrapolate beyond these norms as the relationship is anything but linear (as commenter Fraz predicted).
cubes score (out of 17) | IQ equivalent (U.S. norms) |
11 | 144 |
8 | 136 |
7 | 130 |
6 | 128 |
4 | 127 |
2 | 103 |

RaceRealist said:
The fact that IQ tests are “validated” against other IQ and achievement tests, which shows the circulatory inherent in them. See also Schwartz (1975). Also the fact that they have similar content.
“For example, IQ tests are so constructed as to predict school performance by testing for specific knowledge or text‐like rules—like those learned in school. But then, a circularity of logic makes the case that a correlation between IQ and school performance proves test validity. From the very way in which the tests are assembled, however, this is inevitable. Such circularity is also reflected in correlations between IQ and adult occupational levels, income, wealth, and so on. As education largely determines the entry level to the job market, correlations between IQ and occupation are, again, at least partly, self‐fulfilling”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5538622/
“achievement tests are often validated using other standardized achievement tests or other measures of cognitive ability—surely a circular practice” and “Validating one measure of cognitive ability using other measures of cognitive ability is circular.”

You’re talking as if “fluid intelligence” isn’t learned too. For instance the Raven is perhaps the most enculturated test of all.
So back to the original point at hand—cross-cultural assessments tap learning, not “intelligence.” So if IQ and achievement tests are different versions of the same, can anyone tell me what the correct entailment is?
pumpkinperson said:
There’s a lot of overlap between the two and they can often be used interchangeably, but achievement tests typically measure that which is explicitly taught in school while IQ tests measure that which you learned implicitly or inferred during the test itself.
illuminaticatblog said:
Because fluid intelligence is not about the tests dumbass.
Fluid intelligence is about spatial awareness and getting things where they need to be to solve problems.
You fucking turd, if that is not what intelligence is then you need to specify what it is.
I did so.
And learning needs to be specified as well because not everyone is good at learning.
Learning is about following rules to get certain results from following a procedure.
Not everyone can memorize procedures to get results.

The inference to draw is that those tests will not test true intelligence.
One needs a different mark to test true intelligence.
That makes specifying intelligence important.
and i did do that.
it is getting things where they need to be

then you can infer what they do when you move them

It’s incoherent because your source literally only stated the contradiction and referred to Siegal a few times without actually addressing the argument.
And that’s a bad analogy. It’s clear that they’re different versions of the same test, and the knowledge content on them matters since that’s all they are. There’s no distinction between academic achievement tests and IQ tests. So to answer the question for AK since it seems like he doesn’t understand entailments, the correct entailment to draw is that since IQ and achievement tests are different versions of the same test, then performance on both tests are due to learning—what has been learned.
pumpkinperson said:
The definition I gave was my own, not from a source.
All tests measure knowledge but not to the same degree. The psychometric tests that are most sensitive to schooling are the ones we tend to call achievement tests. The psychometric tests that are least sensitive to schooling are the ones we tend to call IQ tests.
Of course there are exceptions but that’s a good rule of thumb.

If neither IQ tests or achievement tests actually test intelligence then we need a different kind of test.

Right, except the very definition of knowledge as an abstraction itself, which needs no context, and is what implicity forms the measure of “general cognition”.
RaceRealist said:
Why can’t that be learned?
“General cognition” isn’t a thing.
RaceRealist said:
N-back tasks show that memory can be trained.
Lurker said:
It can’t be learned because it is a finite limit. “Memory” being trained might be evidence of actual mental/brain changes in their discrete finite limits or simply existing storage being used more or activated more for a specific task.
Of course, there is a reason why our physical brains are so large and vulnerable instead of being small and easily protected and nourished, which obviously has to do with the direct relation to the apparent discrete limits of our minds.
RaceRealist said:
I mean it’s a pretty robust finding that nback training has both near and far transfer. So memory is therefore learned and trainable.
pumpkinperson said:
no far transfer is not a robust finding:
The potential that working memory (WM) training can transfer to untrained tasks that differ substantially from the training task (‘far transfer’) has generated substantial excitement with regard to better understanding the causal relationship between WM and related cognitive processes1,2,3,4,5,6, as well as to applied domains where such training can benefit health and well-being7,8,9,10. In particular, the effectiveness of WM training to improve fluid intelligence has been a controversial and highly debated topic, with some meta-analyses showing a small but significant positive effect on fluid intelligence11,12,13,14,15, while others argue that there is no evidence of generalization to fluid intelligence after training

Cognitive load is the buffer under which a person can only hold so much information before losing it.

I’m unsure how that’s supposed to refute what I said about FT and WM and the fact that cross-cultural assessments tap learning (and by identity so do IQ tests due to what I argued above). Interestingly enough, there’s a small pilot study showing that those in the online modules had higher intrinsic cognitive load (one’s effort associated with a specific topic), germane cognitive load (memory used to integrate new information, basically how easy it is for someone to link new information to existing information), and lower extraneous cognitive load (difficulty of processing new information which is extraneous to the learner). This stuff is also used quite a decent amount in the medical field.
PP on suicide watch, Lynn’s “imputations” of “IQs” based on “neighboring countries” blasted:
“To our mind, however, a fatal flaw in this and other work that attempts to produce international measures of intelligence (e.g., Lynn and Becker, 2019; Lynn and Meisenberg, 2010) is that he and co authors “impute” scores for countries without estimating by as singing them the scores of neighboring countries. Their rationale is that countries in proximity to one another will have estimates that are “closely similar.” Just a few examples — using PISA 2018 results — suggest that such an approach is patently wrong. For instance, neighboring countries Malaysia and Indonesia earned reading scores of 415 and 371 respectively. On the PISA scale (with an historic mean and standard deviation of 500 and 100), these countries digger by nearly half a standard deviation in reading performance. An even more extreme example is between Malaysia and Singapore, the latter of which is among the very highest performing countries with a 2018 reading score of 549. Here, the difference is over one and a half standard deviations on the PISA scale. Clearly, it makes little sense to blindly impute scores from neighboring countries, regardless of the sort of measure (i.e., infant mortality rates, achievement, or per capita GDP). Nor is such an approach justified anywhere in modern missing data literature (Enders, 2022; Little and Rubin, 2002; Ludtke et al, 2020). This sort of data adjustment is a common feature in such studies, where changes in scores are made which are either poorly or not justified and that often remains opaque to readers.”

I am one of the people who took the cubes test and reported an SAT score. I found the test to be very difficult (although admittedly spatial reasoning is much harder for me than matrices, for example). However, part of the challenge was the quality of the graphics. One of the pictures looked liked it should have had two rows of stacked cubes, but based on the perspective I wasn’t sure if it was supposed to be one or two. Eventually I imagined it was just one row. Based on the correct answer, I should have picked two rows. There was another image that looked like an optical illusion to me. Sometimes it looked like the cubes were stacked vertically, and other times it looked like they were facing to the right. So I had trouble interpreting how the cubes were supposed to look. On the other hand, maybe that is part of the test!

Have not decided yet. You can always calculate full-scale IQ at any point but the more tests one includes, the more accurate it will be.

Cool. I used vocab, puzzles, PATMA, knowledge, comprehension, picture arrangement, and cubes, converted IQ scores to “scaled scores” with mean 10 and SD 3, prorated the 7 scores to 10 and then used your rough formula to calculate a WAIS-like FSIQ from 10 scaled subtest scores. Sounds about right?
Amazingly, the score I obtained is spot on when compared to my FSIQs from respectable online sources.

Fascists are kind of like that where they have skills but can’t self actualize either so they want certain people 2 put things in order.

The other day Puppy admitted he was an AA hire. So no surprise he backs up Oprah and Bill Cosby. Shameless.
pumpkinperson said:
1) The only affirmative action Oprah got was for a job she got as a teenager and she ended up getting fired from the news business anyway. The rest of her success was pure free market capitalism during an era of real anti-black racism.
2) You’re very naive if you think other races just get ahead by relying only on the free market. In fact one of the biggest ways high IQ people adapt to their environment is by manipulating politics to their advantage. Jewish Americans manipulated government so that their Wall street billion$ were protected during the financial crisis. Why do you begrudge black Americans (who worked for free in America for hundreds of years) using politics to get just the tiniest slice of the American pie (in Oprah’s case a job on local TV making only $22 K a year)? That’s how the game works. If anything blacks are held back by too many of them believing in the conservative pull yourself up by your bootstraps mindset.
The Philosopher said:
First of all affirmative action is wrong morally and legally. If you want equal treatment under the law, the courts, employers and universities, then equal means equal.
And anyway, I don’t even believe in civil rights equal results personally. I think ‘seperate but equal’ is fine.
Second I burst out laughing when you said Oprah and Cosby was free market captialism. These two evil clowns were purposely promoted by the jews to ameliorate black-white relations at a time when there was a gigantic crime rampage in America from you know who. The fact Cosby ended up being the worst example of black on white crime is even more sickening/hilarious. Putting Oprah and Cosby on tv was basically the 1980s version of quotas in Hollywood. Back in the 80s the jewish studio heads couldn’t possibly push movies with black leading actors and actresses so the next best thing was putting blacks into tv roles. At the end of the day people have to listen to the news, not the person reading out the script. The fact Oprah failed as a newsreader is the most damning evidence that she had no basic talent. She then descended into Jerry Springer type clickbait entertainment. To this day she encouraged a C list black actress to accuse the Queen of England of being racist for the clicks and the benjamins.
Today black celebs are more talented than earlier ones like Oprah and Cosby. They are genuinely athletic or musically talented or funny. Oprah and Cosby are basically the earliest and shoddiest examples I can think of affirmative action. I’m an expert in celebs and hollywood so I doubt I’m forgetting anyone.
pumpkinperson said:

But you have no problem with all the white and Jewish bankers stealing trillions of dollars from the middle class and virtually none of them going to jail. Meanwhile a black guy gets years inn prison for possession of drugs. How is that equal treatment under the law?
Second I burst out laughing when you said Oprah and Cosby was free market captialism. These two evil clowns were purposely promoted by the jews to ameliorate black-white relations at a time when there was a gigantic crime rampage in America from you know who.
First of all, Jews would not be promoting blacks unless it was good for them too, so this is just another form of free market capitalism except the customer is Jewish elites. It shows Oprah’s genius that she was able to exploit the opportunity.
Second many Jews hated Oprah when she first started because they thought she pandered too much to white women and did click bait shows that promoted anti-semetic tropes. In fact there was an oganized Jewish campaign to take her off the air after she did a show about Jewish devil worshipers. It was only AFTER Oprah achieved wealth and fame and thus now wanted respect from elites that she started behaving in ways that gained Jewish praise.
Putting Oprah and Cosby on tv was basically the 1980s version of quotas in Hollywood.
Complete nonsense. Oprah was put in syndication because her low budget local morning talk show in Chicago became the first talk show in TV history to beat Donahue in the ratings. As a result, two gentiles, Roger and Michael King, wanted to syndicate her to make themselves rich. Her success was 100% grassroots, an immediate blockbuster success with the public. In fact her show was so successful she literally ran Donahue out of town. The #1 talk show in America had to leave Chicago and host his show from New York because a low budget local show had so overshadowed him.
Back in the 80s the jewish studio heads couldn’t possibly push movies with black leading actors and actresses
All the more reason why the black entertainers who made it in the 80s had to be twice as good
The fact Oprah failed as a newsreader is the most damning evidence that she had no basic talent.
No it’s evidence that her talents were in the more improvisational and creative field of TV talk shows
She then descended into Jerry Springer type clickbait entertainment.
Because she was smart enough to know what the public wanted
Today black celebs are more talented than earlier ones like Oprah and Cosby.
The exact opposite of the truth. Today media companies are so desperate to prove they’re woke and avoid social media backlash that there aren’t enough talented blacks to fill the enormous demand. Back in the 1980s, it was just the opposite. There were so few opportunities that only the best and brightest blacks got to dominate the culture: People like Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson, Tracy Chapman, Toni Morrison, Bill Cosby and above all, Oprah. These are some of the greatest entertainers in the World!
As one reviewer said “Oprah Winfrey is sharper than Donahue, wittier, more genuine, and far better attuned to her audience, if not the World”
Another said “She’s a roundhouse, a full course meal, big, brassy, loud, aggressive, hyper, laughable, lovable, soulful, tender, low-down, earthy and hungry.”
Anyone who knows anything about broadcasting will tell you Oprah’s a once in a generation meteoric talent though your severe autism may prevent you from seeing that:
Lurker said:

I don’t think so, plus that is filtered through extreme Dunning-Krueger to where many blacks think simply smiling and projecting confidence is working hard and hustling.

Quoting your own reviews of her shows. So embarrassing.
So you don’t find it very weird how an ugly obese black woman with no qualifications was given a newsreader role? Do you think you would get a job like that?
Then in her first show a jew chaperoned her and got her the job as well as held her hand and mentored her.
She then used her partnership with Weinstein to get into Hollywood. Producing drivel and getting herself roles in the big screen. So shameful. Once the Harvey thing became known she offered to give him an interview to prove his innocence LOL.
Todays black celebs can be AA hires sure, but the vast majority of musicians, comedians and athletes are there on merit because its basically really hard to shove these down peoples throats. But other stuff like Tervor Noah and Don Lemon and other retarded hosts and ‘models’ and ambassadors and politicians…yeah theyre all AA dumbasses.
The bottom line is the AA has to stop. It was never a good thing. The supreme court striking down Brown v Board of Ed and segregation was a horrific mistake that cost thousands of lives.
pumpkinperson said:

Those are reviews written by TV critics that appeared in newspapers when her show went national in 1986
So you don’t find it very weird how an ugly obese black woman with no qualifications was given a newsreader role?
No because she had already been hosting a black radio shows since she was 16 and had won two major beauty contests (Miss Black Nashville & Miss Black Tennessee) thanks to her talent for dramatic interpretation. She also lied and said she had experience with a TV camera etc. She was also young & thin when first hired:
But yes, there looking for black talent because TV news was 99.9% white in those days so they were under pressure from civil rights groups to stop discriminating. That job was the only affirmative action she ever got & she performed magnificently. It was only when she was recruited to work in a bigger market in Baltimore that she got fired from news.
Then in her first show a jew chaperoned her and got her the job as well as held her hand and mentored her.
After she was fired from her news job in Baltimore, they put her on a local morning talk show with a co-host who happened to be Jewish just to run out her contract. It wasn’t meant to be permanent, but from the very day Oprah knew it was where she belonged and to everyone’s shock, the show became a massive success and Oprah spent her twenties as the Queen of Baltimore. The show was such a hit, she was offered a job hosting her very own local show in Chicago against Phil Donahue. Everyone warned her not to go, saying it would be a suicide mission to try to compete with the king of talk shows in his own backyard. They said Chicago was a racist city and that she was too black and too fat stand a chance.
But she decided to go anyway and to everyone’s shock, she utterly clobbered Donahue in the ratings.
“The difference between Donahue and me, is ME!” she explained.
She then used her partnership with Weinstein to get into Hollywood.
No she entered Hollywood back when Weinstein was still a nobody trying to break into the industry himself with cheap Friday the 13th rip-offs like THE BURNING. Quincy Jones happened to catch her show during a trip to Chicago and thought she’d be perfect for the overweight character in THE COLOR PURPLE. The performance won an Oscar nomination and that combined with her later status as Queen of the World allowed her to dabble in acting as a once a decade side-hustle. Sucking up to Weinstein didn’t hurt either.
Todays black celebs can be AA hires sure, but the vast majority of musicians, comedians and athletes are there on merit because its basically really hard to shove these down peoples throats.
It was harder in Oprah’s day because America only had tolerance for one or two super successful black entertainers at a time, so it was Michael Jackson in 1983, Cosby in 1984, Oprah and Cosby from 1985 to 1993, Oprah alone for the rest of the 1990s etc. Because there were so few slots, it was survival of the absolute fittest. Today it’s just the opposite, there are so many slots for black talent that even third-rate talent gets exposure. Also, back then the media was controlled by like 72 different companies. Today it’s only six, so it only takes a few elites to push one person across virtually every platform, from youtube to CNN.
