Fuzzy bears!
IQ is not the same as wisdom. They were taught how to survive in extreme drought conditions. IQ can't be taught.Agree, I have always done well on IQ tests and would have answered 5I would say the person that can diagnose why a car keeps stalling....and other car malfunctions is pretty smart. However, that ability often comes with experience. I think the answer to the question above is #5, but I have a lot of experience at taking test and recognizing patterns.Someone who can answer this question may be considered to have a high IQ
But someone who can figure out why a car keeps stalling is not considered high IQ
But while I can correctly answer these obscure IQ questions, I am unable to figure out why my car has been stalling.
Someone in Africa may fail miserably at these types of IQ tests but can tell you how to survive in extreme drought conditions
It's actually arguable that IQ can be taught, at least to an extent. I've read some articles/research that people with more education have higher IQs. For example: Study: More Education Increases IQ Score
While it's not directly teaching IQ, being taught may raise IQ test scores.
