This story is amazing, because it has a lot of subtle elements that match my personal experience. The father (who represents the scientific consensus on IQ, because his mathematical interpretation of IQ graphs is perfectly explained) is presented as authoritarian and abusive, rather than calm, rational, and informed. It is, and was, impossible for he non-genius son to accept IQ information without taking it personally, and becoming resentful. The female teachers who administer the IQ tests are portrayed as callous and out-of-touch, even though they CORRECTLY explain the scientific consensus on IQ by stating that you can't raise your IQ score more than about ten points. Like before, it was impossible for the non-genius son to hear this IQ information without taking it personally, and becoming resentful. The non-genius (older) son is presented as the hero of the story for BOTH refusing to open the envelope AND learning to forgive his abusive father. However, whenever an abusive father exists, the most logical conclusion is that he abused all of his children in some way. So if the non-genius (older) child is a victim of his father's abuse then so is his younger, genius brother! There is no heroism in rejecting valid scientific conclusions about IQ, especially when you lose empathy for your younger brother. The older brother's resentment prevents him from saying things like, "My little brother was so young and vulnerable when my father started abusing him. It was my job, as an older brother, to protect him - but I was too focused on my own pain to even try." Or, "I cannot undo my past failures with my younger brother, but I can make an effort to understand his side of the story WITHOUT judging him, so he can hopefully stop being depressed and find love." Still, if the story was written to highlight how normal-intellect people come to resent intellectually smarter people, then it did a really good job.

Hi David, you really did a great job analyzing the video. Thank you for sharing this. Yes, it is a very complex and emotional subject. And for once, as kind of an experiment, we tried to show the emotional side of it too, and not only the factual one. I wasn´t always sure we did the right thing by bringing in the emotional side, but after I read your comment I am very glad we did. It´s great to see how it triggers reflection and discussion since this is the only tool we have to deal with facts. Facts are always seen through our personal eyes. An open discussion is an opportunity to get a glimpse of something else. Thank you so much!

The commentor was saying how this video is biased to those with lower intelligence, and neglecting the point of view of those with a higher IQ.

Doesn’t mean it’s a bad story Edit: for all you people who are so concerned with whether or not it's true, does it really matter? People lie all the time and you have a 50-50 chance of guessing it. Sure, let's just say it's fake and get over with it if that makes you so happy. The point about stories and things in general is to learn things and you're supposed to take this story as a note to not let certain things stop you from being happy, especially if it's not major. Why do you care so much on whether or not it's true? Even stories that are "based on a true story" have exaggerations.

Bro, he's not saying us "don't measure your IQs!". I learn a little more about the concept of inteligence, the way that it's measured, about what it implies (and what it doesn't) and, much more important, that the IQ is not related with our happiness at all. So nobody should be afraid to do some IQ test, cause the results will not determine your future. Edit: When you simplify an idea so much, at a certain point you change it. So you can't summarize the full video in "the IQ doesn't matter" (well you can, but is a wrong idea).

I think measuring IQ is important but whether you can accept you inborn gifts is another matter. The benefits of measuring one's IQ include choosing one's career, have an idea of one's social capability, create more receptive environments for our children. Let's say you have an IQ of 90. You have a low chance of attending college so it's better that you prepare yourself for work. Let's say you have an IQ of 140. You may need help with socialising, and there should be proper channels for you to do so. Research like this shows that hey, I'm not a genius, but I'm like 50% of the population, or vice versa. It also shows how much your opinion may weigh against others, and how incapable most are in mentally challenging decisions. It destroys the belief that everyone can be a genius, and proper action must be taken to have us fully accept our abilities, and fully use them

I was identified early on and that info was in my school records. Every time I was in a new school, the new teachers had an expectation of me to score A's across the board and when I didn't they didn't take it well. I imagine it made them look bad but I had one teacher in particular in the 8th grade take me aside and chew me out for my grades (which, while not tops in the class, were above average) forgetting that I was new to the school and was trying to figure out how to fit in. For my own kids, I've always explained that IQ isn't a measure of what you know but how adept you are at putting logical conclusions together with the info you have. It's more like mental gymnastics than a proof of knowledge. Insofar as school goes, hard work will ALWAYS win out over natural intelligence if that intellect is married to slack work habits.

Hi @@vishalkalotra7631 So to find the volume of any cuboid, you have to apply the formula length × breadth × height. V = l×b×h. In other words, l × b × h = V In this case we have the volume, length and breadth but no height. Thus, following the formula: l × b × h = 64 8 × 4 × h = 64 32 × h = 64 h = 64 ÷ 32 h = 2 Therefore, h = 2 Or 8 × 4 × h = 64 h = 64 ÷ 8 ÷ 4 Let's work it in order h = (64 ÷ 8) ÷ 4 h = 8 ÷ 4 h = 2 To cross-check our answer, we can multiply the three factors, and if we get 64, we're right, otherwise there's an error.

If your friends don't value you for who you are they are the bad ones and you don't need the company of such people anyways so don't worry mate! It is always difficult to find genuine friends. Even the people you see being friendly might just be staying together to increase their reputation that they are friends with someone smart. These friendships break the moment they discover the other person has nothing to offer them. I am sure you will find great friends in life who will value you for who you are instead of for grades(which usually do not measure intelligence at all and often measures the ability to mug up). So most likely you are a good student and the way the tests are designed is bad. Also there are 8 other types of intelligence such an spatial, verbal, musical, natural etc which you might be very good at!

Kind of a sad story. My parents were obsessed with IQ when I was growing up, and they knew that over-stimulating a child will increase his IQ. It worked, but as a result I was not smart enough to be in the "genius" class, while at the same time being "too fast" for the normal kids (If I wanted, I could reply to any question any teacher asked before he could even finish it). I spent most of my time in school in isolation. The first years were very painful because it was involuntary. But hey, at least it prepared me for the cold world. And college was a lot easier than school, so one thing for the other I guess.

i had to take an IQ test when i had to go to a psychiatrist due to depression and aggression problems. i always knew that my mom, my dad and my sisters are in the top 3% of the world and when it was my turn to take the test i was scared. i wanted to be so much better than my sisters and i was convinced, my mom would treat me as less, if i wouldn't be as smart as the rest of the family. i started to cry on the way to the psychiatrist and told my mom about everything i was worried about. she assured me that it would not be the case and she was right. also, my parents don't want me to know my results until i'm 18 and i can make my own decisions.

Heres what I got. 1. We know the length of the package, but since tests like these seem to rely on trick questions a lot, the box is larger than the package. Therefore, we don't know. 2. Theres overlap between group a and b, and between b and c. This does not guarantee an overlap between b and c. The answer is no. 3. This should be 4 but I feel like theres a trick. 4. Art is on the wall. Cups are on the cupboard. 5. The series is n^4. 4^4=256

@dynex_4189

Digaddog For the first question, the answer is 2. It gives the length, width, and volume of the box, so you take 4 and 8 to multiply them which gives 32. The volume of an object is length times width times height, and since we have length and width equating to 32, the height must be 2 since 32x2=64

So, now that your brother is suffering in his life, turn your attention to him. Give him love and let him know you are there for him. There's a lot of suffering involved in a gifted person's life.

If you consider the whole story, the reasoning is pretty strong. The majority of his life has his father boasting about IQ making him feel inferior for not reaching the quota his brother did. Him not opening the envelope signified his defiance to not be a slave to it. To not be bound by a number because of an exam. Because he started to believe in himself to be more than just a number his father would've given him. What would knowing your IQ ever did for you? Make you realize your smarter or dumber than everyone else. The same variable can apply to strength. You can be weaker or stronger than the general average. Although you can work your ass off to make yourself stronger than possible you'll never surpass the guy with good genetics. It all boils down to talent. No matter how good you are, someone will always be better than you. Not wanting to know your IQ is just like not wanting to bother being in a competition. Everyone is good at something. Beating yourself up by thinking your dumb would only limit your opportunities. What's the point of knowing something as inevitable an IQ? What would that change?

Having a low IQ is an unfortunate sign that one will be limited in what they accomplish in life. This is a hard reality that many try to refute, because while IQ is just a number, it represents genuine raw mental performance that translates into real world capabilities. When it comes to visualizing concepts in computer programming, you need a decently high IQ to wrap your head around the unique concepts faced when writing code as efficiently as possible and managing computer resources in order to run and troubleshoot your code. With that said, IQ and the mental performance it represents doesn’t predestine where you’ll end up in life. There are tons of high IQ individuals out there that have ended up as serial killers or have toiled away at research that doesn’t accomplish anything significant. You can have an average IQ and still do SO MUCH good for the world, to the point where your name could wind up in the history books. Figures like Jesus Christ, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Gandhi, etc. didn’t do anything that required a high amount of intelligence, even if they did possess it. They merely had the courage to do something no one else was willing to do, despite being capable. You don’t need a high IQ to refuse to give up your bus seat. You don’t need a high IQ to understand the power of non-violent protests. Sometimes you just need the initiative to do something that no one else was willing, but capable, of doing in order to be a hero…

I really liked this video! I am a high school math teacher, and usually start the year by telling my students that there is a very good chance that they are more intelligent than I, but I most certainly surpass them in wisdom. The comments I read seem weird and harsh, but I like the message here and what you took from being in a very unique situation of having a genius brother. IQ is the best metric applicable within social science, and can be a huge predictor of life success...but after a certain score, probably around 105, a person’s conscientiousness, interest, and motivation become more important in predicting future success. 1. 2 2. Yes 3. 4 4. Cupboard 5. 256

Well the IQ matters, for survival. Because of the evolution theory we can understand how IQ matter in the face of survival. Because you are so much smarter and better at solving problems you can also survive with debilitating chronic and or acute illnesses, either mental and or physical. But in today's society it might not work out being smart, and being able to solve problems, because today you have to go to work everyday to stay in a job and you have to be consistent everyday with everything. Well what if you're sick half the time, can't sustain a job or social relations because of the illnesses your genes has carried with them on top of the high IQ, your IQ might work against you instead of being a benefit. Having only high IQ might have worked to survive up to this point but now you need to stay healthy (never be sick), look good and be smart to do well in any kind of work, and most people that have high IQ has some kind of mental or physical illness that they struggle with on a daily basis impairing them from being able to achieve the job that fits their intelligence making them depressed and self destructive because of their unhappiness with their lives

I don't think the intent here was to smear much. Maybe appeal to the satisfying, popular (and true) notion that IQ does not correlate with happiness, and that you can have a good life regardless of your IQ. That's quite a good endeavor. Not to downplay the importance of IQ in other areas mentioned at the beginning of the video, which are factually correct. Aside from the alleged new assessment with empirical support that the video's subject took in school (will have to read the research on that one), the video did a satisfying enough job in painting a picture of IQ and it's relevance to our happiness. At least in the 11 minutes it had. This is obviously not a comprehensive video. There's state-of-the-art books summarizing the whole of the field for that, and even those can be unexhaustive.

When I was in the 1st grade I had difficulty reading. To the point where my teacher actually called me stupid in a parent teacher conference. A series of events led me to getting an iq test and good news I’m not stupid, I had an iq of around 107. But it was explained to me that there are two different skills they test for. In simple terms a reading and math/logic section. In the math/logic I had an iq of around 132, but in the reading it was something like 86. I was also diagnosed with dyslexia. Luckily, I had parents and teachers that helped me and pushed me. Idk if I would have ended up where I am if she didn’t call me stupid, or if my parents just blamed her teaching and said nothing was wrong. I eventually developed reading techniques and with hard work I excelled through grade and high school and graduated with a BS in material science and engineering.

“IQ is meaningless, heres 5 obvious questions so that everyone can be validated by their intelligence!”

Wow, that is just... do not do this format ever again. You laced this thing with a lot of toxic and misrepresented data.

When I was diagnosed with dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADD and autism, I was given an IQ test that said I have an IQ under 80. This was before even trained professionals really understood how learning disabilities can give false scores due to the disabilities making those with it very bad test takers. For years I thought I was just absurdly stupid. Even my parents thought I belonged in special education, which I didn't. All I needed was a teacher that knew how to teach children like myself. I'm not non-verbal, my cognitive abilities are great, and I'm even so aware of my body that I'm a natural dancer. I can take care of myself with almost no struggle as well. But unfortunately, after being told I have disabilities that will cripple me all my life and my IQ is very low, my confidence was crushed because of this and the fact that my public school teachers were abusive and so were my classmates, I never made it past the 9th grade. To this day I'm still technically uneducated. I've tried getting a GED 6 times in ten years and the years of cruelty and self hatred always come back to hurt me. People around me try justifying it all by saying "pain purifies the soul" or "you have your entire life ahead of you." While both statements may be true, I was a child for the first 18 years of my life I knew nothing but pain every day. And isolation. And I may have a life in front if me, I had one behind me too, and while most everyone around me was enjoying their time, getting A's without effort and getting in pictures with their friends, I was just trying not to have a panic attack and worrying about disappointing my parent's further. I'm 28, chronically depressed, bitter, I've never had a job that pays more than $10 an hour, I'm stuck and I dont think I'll be around much longer.

He isn't disrespecting anyone. Highly intelligent people often suffer from depression, anxiety, low self esteem, and even have a tendency to underestimate their own intelligence. Having a "normal" IQ is probably better for you than being "gifted".

@@BenjiM514 I can see your point. If he lives in a country like the USA, where your insurance can cost more if they know you suffer from depression, it's easy to understand why his brother might not want people to know. I suspect that names have been changed to protect privacy, and that they're deliberately "vague" about some of the details for the same reason. Personally, I was looking more at the moral of the story, because he's warning people against assuming that a high IQ means you'll have easy success (something that actually tends to lead to "imposter syndrome" in "gifted" people), so I read "dissing" more as interpreting his mentioning his brother's struggles as him taking potshots out of jealousy, and so missing the point he was trying to make. Looked at the way you put it, it does raise issues that arise when commenting on someone else's life. For all we know, having only the narrator's point of view, his brother could just as easily be gay or asexual, or doesn't want marriage and children like his older sibling, rather than not having "found the right woman yet". And in contrast to the conclusions we might draw too hastily (the absence-of-relationship-and-children comment just before the "outing" concerning his depression could be a non sequitur), his depression is probably due, at least in part, to a lifetime of trying to live up to other people's expectations, rather than taking care of his own needs. All of which, as I'm sure you agree, it's his business to disclose or not, particularly on the Internet.

For the people looking for the answers: 1. Just find the cube root, so 4 2. No, It didn't mention any bargles being munhatsens. Otherwise, Yes. 3. 4 divide 7 by 2 = 3.5, round it off, we get 4 4. Cupboard, Being the place you usually put your cups, as art is to wall respectively. 5. 16 find the square roots and add '2' to the addends of each number like: (1)+3=(4)+5=(9)+7=(16)+9=(25)+11=(36) the numbers inside the parenthesis are the square roots, as you can see the addends gradually increase, thus, we have our answer. Some people might have gotten the answer already, but i'll put this out just in case.

Rephraseit I just took the Weshler(?) IQ Test, and it was surprisingly a 116-125, yet I act incredibly stupid and am. It really doesn’t matter if it’s high or not, but rather, what you do with it.

I needed this story. Thank you

1. 2 cm. The formula for the package, which can be assumed to be a cube or rectangular prism shape, or similar, is length times width times height. We know the length to be 8 cm, and the width to be 4 cm. Multiply those two together, and you get 32; the equation becomes 32h = 64 cm. Divide 64 by the 32 from the left to isolate h, and we find that h, or height, equals 2. 8 cm x 4 cm x 2 cm = 64 cm 2. No. It is completely possible for none of those bargles that are chongos to be munhatsens. 3. 4 trips. 3 trips would take care of 6 doors. You need 1 more trip to get that last door, so 4 trips. 4. Cup goes with cupboard. A piece of art may be placed on a wall, and a cup may be placed in a cupboard. 5. The missing number is 256. Each number in the sequence is, in order, a number from 1-6 to the 4th power. 256 is the 4th power of 4, which is the missing base number.

“Wechsler IQ” takes the Wonderlic.

IQ represents the part of our intelligence that can be measured quite reliably. During our research, we came upon very different opinions on this matter. Some of them very controversial. We aim to be as neutral as possible and only to present the facts. We decided to try a new first-person format, what we call “a story based on scientific research”. Instead of presenting facts or studies we embedded all information into a first-person narrative. We think that this could lead to an increased retention rate and hence improved the learning experience. Thank you for your feedback and all insightful comments!

Great conclusion. Yeah, I remember when defining someone's potential, success and future was strongly based on IQ tests. However, as time passed by, this way of thinking has changed, now we are more focused in Emotional Intelligence, EQ. I think that it doesn't matter if you are gifted or not, what really matters is to know what you really want, how can you live and manage yourself in the world to be happy, and not caring about the labels society gives nor let others decide about your life (as long as you respect others of course). One thing is to have talent, high IQ or a high capacity at something, but another thing is how it is nurtured and how are you developing in other areas different from your speciality. What the elder son did was more important: he though for himself and outgrew his father, something that many outgrown adults haven't overcome yet, still caring for their parents' opinion. However, it is still not late as long as one is still living.

If tat really happens, it goes to show iq test is not important (as the author proudly claims) or the test is constructed poorly and has poor validity.

My high iq didn't help me at all in life. As a kid, i got a score around the 120 mark. My mother confessed this to me at a very young age, similar to the boy in this story. But the information didn't help me at all, it made everything even worse. And remember High IQ doesn't measure every aspect of your mental capabilitys. After all there is also an EQ now. And in the opinion of many, this one is the real important one!
