    The actual test she took was not standardized and was given unsupervised. And interpolating someone's actual score based on age is flawed. By her own admission, later in her life she retook a supervised test and scored 178 which is still quite high.

    • @mr.boomguy
      @mr.boomguy หลายเดือนก่อน

      Also, the score, if I'm right, get pushed down a notch every now and then due to the average IQ increase of the general population. So even if it was corrected back then, it must've still been around 200

    • @jhpjhun
      @jhpjhun หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      @@mr.boomguy The average IQ is set to 100 so it gets pushed down every few decades. For example, if the global average IQ was 150 for the past decade, that would be set as the new 100 IQ score. The increase in IQ is mainly because nutrition, better testing standards, and because developed economies naturally deal with complex issues which makes people think logically. So an IQ of 178 is still ridiculously high. Einstein had an IQ of 160.

    I perhaps had the lowest IQ in the schools that I had attended. But still, when in my 40's, I managed to independently derive the Special Relativity mathematical equations on my own, despite having dropped out of school and thus also having no prior physics education at all. So the point is, even though you have a nasty low IQ, that still can be misleading.

    I think there is an easier way to explain the door problem. The host picks a door and it is a goat or anything else. Regardless, the probability of the host picking the car in any case is 1/3. If a goat is picked and the host recommends another door the probability of it being right is also 1/3. So, the probability of the other door being correct should be 1 - 1/3 which is 2/3.
