holy shit, someone should invent an award for filibusting, because you just won something.
I'm tired of these debates on IQ

That's not answer to the questions I asked nor is it an informative statement about why the posts are bad. Just because you keep using the term "buzzword" to describe the posts does not mean it is a sufficient explanation to highlight why they are bad.
Well if believe the field is junk you best inform said organization about it so they do not have to waste any more of their time on such matters.

The IQ debate is really pointless to be honest. No one on this board even cares about IQ, what they really care about is how IQ effects them personally, "me,me, and me" attitude so to say. Why are you on such a crusade about IQ anyway, OP?
Let me talk about the relation of IQ and Mathematics. Having a high IQ in Mathematics allows one to see low level patterns quicker and thus apply their internalized definitions to get the answer. This is why a high IQ individual should be able to ace exams with very little revision, since questions on math exams are rarely ever deep and penetrating. A high IQ individual who seems to effortlessly pass his math exams with very little studying is just performing a kind of symbol pushing within a system; hence, such a person would flounder when asked to apply his knowledge outside of such a constrained system. From personal experience, it seems like there is another element one needs in order to come up with a key insight involving a non trivial research problem in Mathematics. If anyone wants intuition regarding what I'm talking about here, I would suggest reading about Alexander Grothendeick.

Because you obviously have a disease-infected mind incapable of rational thought anymore. It was more of an interest of mine to interact with such a diseased drone. More than anything I just feel pity for the fact you are low IQ and also infected with cloudy thought.
Lincoln Evans
Not the guy you are replying to but you need to neck yourself. You sound like an insecure kid who keeps using the word "buzz word" in order to shout down the opponents points. I hate people like you.
Cooper Bennett
Well I'm glade you graced me with your replies and presence user as they were so enlightening to me. I'm sorry my disease infected mind with a low IQ inconvenienced you.

More of a side effect of not understanding intelligence much. Humanity relies on it like a "magical force" instead of really doing intimate and detailed study. There are some approaches that can be taught for how to deal with unknown problems though. With ML, Neural networks, and everything related to AI/Neuroscience we will start to understand it better instead of viewing it as a sort of magic.
One of the best ways I've personally used is conversion of something to a very geometric form. See stuff like en.wikipedia.org
The most exciting thing is to imagine something not constrained by the human mind's infrastructure. Meaning our language capacity or visual capacity which is what we seem to use a lot for examining data. It will be amazing to imagine the creation of something that has a "brain" wired for intuitively understanding quantum mechanics or very complex mathematics.
Intelligence is the most important subject of interest right now.

Why is IQ such a highly debated topic when people here don't care about discipline/willpower/resillience which is more important for success?

People want to be told they had the "potential" to be the next Gauss because of some sequence of digits. Very unlikely if you have a bellow average IQ, but it's also impossible if you don't have the drive to try to take the shot.
Parker Nelson
Because the science behind it is denied.
