How accurate are online IQ tests?

No.13384641 ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
I took this one specifically https://mensa.dk/iqtest/ and it gave me a lower than expected score. Should I attach any actual meaning to it? I want to become a physicist or mathematician (neuroscience is interesting too) but now fear I'm too retarded to achieve any meaningful accomplishments in these fields.

What's bothering me is that it says the test is accurate for 18-30 year olds, but the brain only finishes its development at 25 (so naturally the same person will score lower when 18 than when 25). Also, 40 minutes and 30 questions seem a bit too scarce to precisely determine IQ, I'd say, as I've heard the tests administered by doctors are longer/more extensive.

I'm more than a little bit of a brainlet, so I don't know the actual TERM for this kind of number that I'm trying to puzzle out...

In this 2d array, each column will be pulled elsewhere in order to modify 5 numbers, and it modifies them with each row. So if it pulled the first entry there, then the first four numbers would be unchanged (modified by 0) and the fifth number would be increased by 1.

But in the second row, at the end there, I'm trying to put a type of number that will always move a total towards 0. So if I put a 4 there, and the number it was modifying was a 5, then it would SUBTRACT 4 from that to move it closer to 0, and if the number being modified was -5, then it would ADD 4 to get it closer to 0.

But I don't even know if there's an actual fucking TERM FOR THIS THING AHUGHGHG. So my question to you nerds is what the fuck do you even call this for me to google to figure it out?

Eradicating STDs

No.13388395 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Theoretically speaking, would successfully implemented and enforced and monogamy as properly defined, that being pairing with a single partner for life (not the current system of serial monogamy), have the effect of completely eradicating all sexually transmitted infections/diseases? Seeing as all the people who happen to have STDs such as herpes/have/HIV would be paired with a single partner for life, so even in the event of them infecting their uninfected life partner the disease would die off with them when they died, resulting in it not being spread further? Or is there a variable I'm overlooking that would continue to propagate STDs? And if it's the case that STDs would be eradicated, why is this fact not used more commonly as an argument for societally enforced monogamy being the norm?

Gravity

No.13390908 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Compared to 50 years ago, scientists have come no closer to finding the theoretical particle "graviton".

Will we ever find it? We have yet to observe it, but only hypothesize that it exists based on interactions.
