From then on, most people answer things like “Quantitative Intelligence”, “Intelligence Questionnaire” and the like.
However, towards the end of the video someone appears with the right answer. In the images, it is possible to follow the exact moment when an interviewed man answers “Intelligence Quotient”, when questioned.
The expression Intelligence Quotient, or IQ, as it is known, refers to an average of intelligence that is extracted from people, so to speak.
To measure this quotient, a questionnaire filled with questions specially designed to supposedly measure an individual's cognitive ability is used.
At the end of the questionnaire, an average of errors and correct answers is issued. This average is represented by a number that serves as the IQ of the person who took the test.
Just by way of comparison, Albert Einstein, one of the greatest geniuses in human history, had an IQ of 160, the same score obtained by the co-founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates.
Few people know the real meaning of IQ
The experiment carried out by the aforementioned tiktoker highlighted a fact: most people are not sure what the acronym IQ means.
Upon discovering the meaning, “revealed” by one of the interviewees, many other users showed astonishment in the comments on the video.
“I figured it was Quantity Intelligence,” said one. "I always thought it meant 'Intellectual Quotient', however, as there are many variants, I was still in doubt if it was right," said another.
