Top 10 Chess Grandmaster Hikaru takes an IQ test

If the #1 blitz chess player scores 102 then you know the test is dogshit. Hello Everyone. Sorry for inconvenience but i had to change channel, new clips will be uploaded on:

It's funny how the average IQ is 100 but every time the internet talks about it, the average IQ of the people in the comment section is supposedly 135+ What a joke.

[mack]

Bro I didn’t know the video ended and I thought he was just staring in shock hahah

[Salamialayksuwp]

I'm 99% certain that this guy is 130+ but he just forgot the time and also forgot he was taking a test and not playing bullet chess

[yoshiz]

I doubt that this is his actual I.Q. but if it is then that goes to show how much of a hard worker he actually is, his extra-ordinary ability to concentrate and his unrivaled discipline.

[schnitzelfilmmaker]

0% chance that’s his actual IQ. Anyone who does that “takes takes takes” bullcrap undoubtedly has cognitive ability far higher than 102 is capable of.

[ONEMADKILLERx]

People saying he was trolling and had no time. The test is timed, he obviously took too long on the rest of the questions so had no time left for the last few. If he used all the time he was trying to do well

[waltwhitman]

he was flagged by the test guys he literally doesnt care

[SerbAtheist]

It's far from highly inconceivable that the best chess player in the world would have an average IQ. True, IQ does determine the rate of pattern absorption, but on the other hand, other factors also come into play such as affinity and enthusiasm and in chess primarily the length of exposure to these patterns far outweighs any factor dependent on IQ. A 110 IQ grandmaster would trounce a150 IQ novice any time of the day.

Average comment here is all like "I got a 140 on this IQ test but I'm so dumb - much dumber than Hikaru. Just goes to show that IQ as a measure is meaningless." lol quit the humble-bragging yall.

[Carwasher-jf]

He is trolling for content .those milked xqc viewers love it.

[kinarast]

IQ doesn't matter much to him. He's already a GM

[renehenriksen]

Man I find it amusing that Hikaru Nakamura is at the top of the chessworld and when one sees him here he acts as unseriously as Bruce Willis in his Die Hard movies and still manages to save the day. If only we all could do like that. I wonder if he could be worldchampion if he was as deadserious as Kasparov when preparing against Karpov in their worldchampionshipmatches.

Hikaru à penser qu'il jouait une bullet

[AlexandrBorschchev]

This isn’t a good environment for him to take an iq test. No focus, a camera in front of you, no preparation at all, thousands of people watching you. Some takeaway though would be that talent!=iq, but there is definitely a relationship. Also, regarding talent, it is usually the case that talented people are less likely to try or accept new intellectual challenges because of the expectation that they will always win at their own game no matter what.

[vfxjmb]

i really dont feel comfortable having more iq than him on the same test

[slli]

highly doubt this is his actual IQ lol. Hikaru fits every criteria of genius there is, from the child prodigy to massive working memory. Goes to show that IQ tests can be improved with iteration. If he'd just studied for it, or taken even a brief primer on how most of these work, we would be seeing a higher number

[magnusjensen]

This comment section sure does have a lot of IQ experts... xD

[DavidM_]

Well it proves he wasn't even trying or online test are shit. I believe both.

[tibofordeyn]

I've done actual serious iQ tests in elementary school and scored 135, yet the stuff in these clips made little sense to me ngl

[vasudhamaru]

he is like i have no time, i have no time he is not even trying
