Now onto the "4 component model" this guy proposes to measure his own intelligence and "profound giftedness"
Component 1 is to literally just use existing tests. There are 3 of them. A mainstream test. The extended test by the NAGC. And some random ass test that even this guy claims is garbage. Why use the last test which is considered trash? Um ....
Component 2 is just to do item response theory, a theory this guy did not invent. Item response theory appears to me as genuinely interesting and useful, and this is likely because this guy had nothing to do with its invention
Component 3 says ... combine components 1 and 2. I thought that was already implied and didn't need an additional component, but who I am to criticise the paper padding techniques of this 276 iq individual?
Component 4 is to do long term studies of the life of high iq individuals, a thing which is already done by some research organisations which this guy points out.
All in all, I am amazed. This guy's entire contribution to the field of intelligence measurements is ... to say that we should do techniques that other people invented and are already using.
This is more impressive than it sounds. Making an 18 page paper out of doing fuck all really does take skill and finese
Somewhere along the way, I forgot that this paper is likely a bit and I took the paper way too seriously
Hear me out, ice cream is delicious, and so is chili, we should do them together.
Could we try chocolate and salt together as well, or is that pushing it?
Statements that only come from the utterly deranged.
I'm loco ese
If liking fleur de sel chocolate is crazy, I don't want to be sane
I'd eat chilli ice cream.
I've had it.
It was okay but basically not spicy
Probably needs some chilli powder sprinkled on top
I thought about it for like a minute after I clicked "post" and I said "you know what, I'd really like to try that!"
