Jordan Peterson - Controversial Facts about IQ

11:25 wow, that water drink after the exposition was cold
I think there is a Multiple Intelligence.
Certain types of competencies may develop differently at certain ages and environments.
For example, music training in early childhood can develop absolute pitch ability.
Additionally, children can learn several languages as their native language before specific age, but after that, other languages are learned as foreign languages.
And according to epigenetic theory, the attachment relationship with parents during infancy may seriously destroy the development of a child's emotional intelligence and social abilities.
Some people may be familiar with growing plants and animals and may be excellent at repairing machines.
Therefore, multiple intelligences exist because these differences are possible.
9:22 lol, not him briefly forgetting the word emotional
IQ is a test that gives a set period of time to complete. But as Einstein proved , staying with a problem longer than others enabled him to arrive at the answers they could not. I know some real dumb people with IQs that suggest otherwise.
Took an american IQ test for the first time, turns out I have an iq of about 2 football fields and a couple of feet. I'm not sure what to feel about my result
I once had a student that had an IQ of 76. He made a 24 on the ACT & got a basketball scholarship to a school in NC & now plays in the NBA. Couldn’t spell his name but could dunk a basketball.

Read about László Polgár for anyone interested in educational psychology, and to find out Peterson is wrong.
I believe the ultimate goal in life is to be happy, and intelligence is the capacity to attain and maintain happiness. It might seem silly on the surface, but think about it. The way reinforcement learning AI works is by having agents do random things, and then rewarding them when they do good and punishing them when they do bad. And look at what amazing things that has brought us! Whether it's solving a maze or living a life, the best performing agents will always be the ones that were rewarded the most and punished the least. For us "reward" and "punishment" are simply the neural processes responsible for our emotions. I believe that to be the most elegant quantification of intelligence, though I am no psychologist.
Your problem is with the phrase 'University Success' -- presumably that means your final grade. But most people never practically use what they learned for their degree, its just a random passport into a particular range of jobs - so what real value does a degree have?

Best skip the whole education thing and recruit people at 14 based on their IQ. University is substantially pointless as far as work goes - just a way of academics picking the next generation of academics...

This basically suggests that university degrees are just IQ tests... the course is just familiarising yourself with domain specific jargon.
I've taken 3 iq tests over the span of 7 years and scored anywhere from 89 to 110 and i can say from my personal experience it is something that changes I'm not saying it's not a accurate measurement of intelligence but that it changes and Jordan Peterson has argued basically that it doesn't change that much throughout life unless there's a brain injury or of old age but i disagree from the study's I have read it changes quit a bit in childhood and adulthood and thats why he is wrong now when it comes to the accuracy of the test i truly don't know if it is or not but on my last test which I scored 110 i will say i believe it to be within what i expected but you should not let a test choose your worth you are worth more than the number on a stupid test
He won me at 12:40 "real individual differences"
IQ tests are racist.
Wow. Just wow.
I have a 107 iq but I identify as someone with a high IQ. So there
Controversial?
Directly correlate to race.
Directly correlates to culture.
JPs assessments mean nothing for anyone between the IQ of 95-125. He is correct regarding the potential global pandemic of stupidity we will soon have to deal with, the fact that so much of the world is below an IQ of 90 is extremely worrying.
If you are able to go to an university you can easily expand your IQ by Training etc at least until 120 or even above. I was in university and had a result about 108 or sth without preparation or anything. However with some preparation I randomly had about 129 or sth in dealing with numbers... so it is all about training, preparation, and determination if you made it into an university with a solid Reputation if you want a high IQ
When you know their strategy its time for you to make a worse deal for yourself than they can imagine
