Let's talk about IQ testing, /sci/.
1. Is it possible for a psychologist (or a team of psychologist) to develop an IQ test for IQ ranges higher than their own? How so? After all they're limited by their own intellectual capacity when creating the questions.
2. How much of IQ testing is actually testing intelligence and how much is social conformity? Many questions can be ambiguous or a sufficiently smart person can discover another nontrivial pattern. The goal however is always to find the simplest pattern.
3. Why is there only such a limited set of types of questions/patterns (rotations, unions, intersections, circular permutations, ... and combinations thereof)? Are there also some higher classes of less trivial patterns?
