How would one test for Entropic Intelligence?

How can you have a negative IQ?

@ragingloli By having one’s I.Q. make a situation worse… whenever a person with negative I.Q. thinks they make the situation worse… even an I.Q. of 1 or better makes the problem that one is trying to solve better… A negative I.Q. always makes your situation worse when you think… mostly likely a mental illness could cause it… Or “Entropic Intelligence” could be a illness in its self… Or even a A.I. computer mental Illness.

Multiply regular IQ by the square root of -1.

Your definition of Entropic is: a process of degeneration marked variously by increasing degrees of uncertainty, disorder, fragmentation, chaos, etc.; specif., such a process regarded as the inevitable, terminal stage in the life of a social system or structure.

What you’re trying to do is measure how one person’s influence has a negative effect on a dynamic situation or task? If you want to take ONLY IQ’s in to account, then you get two groups of people with equivalent IQ’s but in one group throw in a person who has a mental disability of some sort, where they’re IQ is much lower. But I don’t think you are going to get the result you want.

You’re working with personality types, not just IQ’s. I’ve known PA-LENTY of very highly rated people IQ-wise, but they were more disruptive and would miss the point of exercises completely and waste time and piss people off to the point people left projects before they were done.

Wait…. are you GAMING? Is this for an RPG?

So if I understand this, the person with this characteristic would be less likely to choose the right answer than if they chose at random.

The example that comes to mind is rock-paper-scissors where a good player (or computer program) has a positive expectation against a weaker player, but no advantage over answers chosen at random.

IQ scores are ratios comparing certain intellectual skills to a norm. There are no negatives.

“Worse” is a judgment that is made in different ways, depending on the judger’s goals. An action may make a situation worse in one person’s opinion and better in someone else’s. This is a meaningless concept—sort of a semantic parlor game—so there is no way to devise a test for it.

Except perhaps in a science fiction novel. Maybe there are positive and negative entropic intelligences in the same way there are electrons and anti-electrons. I.e., if you crash them into each other, there is a huge explosion.

Maybe there would be some kind of IQ explosion if you brought people of opposite IQ valences together. Like their heads would explode and their brains would become useless. If that were the case, you test would be to bring the two people together and see if that happens. Very humane.

Isn’t the Stanford-Binet scale just an average of 100 and 10 for each standard deviation away from it? So -10 would mean 11 standard deviations below the norm. It could happen.

Not likely, granted.

I’m still interested in this topic. @all thanks.
