Random What’s Your IQ?

What a great lad that’s awesome. I hope it’s a good outlet for him. Without the Gym and Guitar id be a headstone.
Yeh he doesn't go to the gym but he picks up new acoustic songs in 30 mins or so
He has gotten to the point now that at Xmas time when everyone else is steaming drunk he is made to play all night just to keep them happy
He doesn't sing though (he might but I've never heard him)

So awesome, that’s the problem with doing covers is someone always wants another!

Gotta write your own so people leave you alone!

Yeh he has a few of his own ,he's just discovered Elliott Smith so can play 7 or 8 of his songs
He keeps his Taylor tuned for playing Nick Drake
He plays all the music I like but only cos I've introduced it to him

I can play all the chords and I taught them to him years ago but I cannot play 1 single thing that even reassembles a song
I can't strum (the guitar) with my right hand ,only just make a racket

I’m more a strummer/picker but I play weird stuff and listen to weird music just a self taught stoner way of playing (put the e string a step down and just essentially play bar chords, switch to 2 fingers if feeling fancy)

I find it boring to play other songs but it’s how I learnt, I always wanted to make something as I never found something as expressive as my own music it’s like a drug

Yeh we got him lessons but it got to the point where the guy said there's really no need in continuing
He does alot of finger picking and uses his plectrum alot
He also uses his thumb on the sixth string which I find baffling
If I was on a desert island with food and a guitar I still couldn't learn it

I think it's a talent your born with

What sucks is my dad plays banjo/ mandolin/ guitar
So does my uncle and there father before them but it missed me out lol

That thumb thing is crazy I’m going to have to try that blimey I can’t finger pick well at to so that’s proficient.

I have seen people who awe me with their clear “god given” talent,

I had zero but perseverance led me somewhere. I’m not a great player, but I have my own style through sheer practice..

I’d always suggest bass, 4 strings, many beautiful songs that are really easy to play. My favourite are Joy Divison.

I’d honestly give bass a go my friend, it’s a great way to learn to play guitar.

PIL-Public image is 2 notes on the bass for the main riff..

I love Joy Division ,I go through periods of constantly listening to the same artist over and over again and they were one a few months ago

Don't get me wrong ,he makes mistakes but your right it takes talent and more importantly perseverance

I relate a lot to Ian Curtis. It shocks me I am now older then he ever was. Timeless art and amazing music,

Just some working class lads and a good example of what I mean, they were all talented but they weren’t amazing to begin with.

Yeh in his case its really sad ,your right you can't be the finneshed article when your still wet behind the ears ,I'd hate to think of how many bands have slipped through the net before getting a real chance
 
115 but Intelligent quotient tests ,I was 130 tested pre med ,but yeah math,memory,processing speed reading play in to factors for many due to health conditions,education,environmental factors ,often correlated do to culture,there's great debates.I was a smart mart lil fukkah,but I grew out of it.

Are you allowed a calculator for the math part ,I can add ,subtract ,multiple, divide all showing my workings but gave up on long division years ago
 
"Null", i allredy told this story but when i was tested for ADHD i had an IQ test. My attention span by itself would have made me mildly retarded but the linguistic test results was above average and the spatial intelligence test was far above average which ment my IQ could not be determined due to the extreme inconsistences in my test results.

Exactly

Can't use a calc, you're asked to solve word problems in your head. Like "John had 10 apples, Alex has 5 more than 3 times as many, James has 5 less than Alex - how much does James have", might be in the first couple of questions.

Some fun ones (non math) were like, "what does a poem have in common with a statue". So there are interesting questions.

To Robi's point, there is vocab so some of it depending on your school requirements you already have an advantage or disadvantage.

They make you remember a series of numbers, and repeat it back high to low, low to high, and exactly as they say it. That was my best score.

Processing speed, like each number 1-9 has a symbol that correlates with it. Then they give you a piece of paper with the symbols and you have to write the correct number that it's the symbol for, see how many you can do in a certain amount of time.

Problem solving, having to solve a physical puzzle.

I took the test at like 6am after a night of getting stoned, and my working memory and processing speed was so different that my court ordered therapist thought I was acting slow on purpose. But really I was just exhausted. But that went into my medical record, that they thought I might be trying to deceive them.

I should probably just answer the original question: I don't think it has a correlation. Not to be a Debby downer, just my opinion.
