Whether or not you can beat me in dark souls determines your intelligence. If no youre stupid, if yes you have no life.

At most, it tests a certain kind of intelligence. It doesn't consider other types of intelligence, such as emotional intelligence.

I mean there is no objective measure, but for measuring your ability to use logic, reason, and problem solving, it's pretty good.

Whether or not you consider that to be intelligence is another story.

A lot of people keep it vague so that they can just decide if someone is smart or stupid based on if they agree with their opinions or not

Nah, but there's at least some correlation. If you're consistently scoring really low on an IQ test, for example, that is definitely not a good thing. There is a correlation between lower IQ and higher crime rates and things like that.

Do you mean a real IQ test, or the ones on the internet that make everyone think they're genius level 130+?

What's an emotional intelligence?

Where can I find evidence of this correlation?

It's just funny because if you ask on here, everyone's at least 120, most in the 130s. It's not true whatsoever. A 130 is a full out genius but you ask on the internet and it's as commonplace as a Starbucks on the corner.

Your intelligence quotient (IQ) is meant to be your capacity to learn and hold information. A high score doesn't necessarily mean that you know a lot or have wisdom, but that you have the ability to.

I've met plenty of people with high IQ, but low EQ. When they have one and lack the other, they make really stupid decisions.

I met this guy a few years ago who scored the 2nd highest in some statewide test. Incredibly intelligent, but his emotional intelligence was lacking. We got into a bit of an office tussle and he basically imploded when he couldn't get his way.

140 is genius. And we had a topic a long while back, everyone here has a 160+ IQ lol.

There is a strong correlation between IQ and how successful you become in life / how well you perform at challenging jobs involving logic / math / critical thinking / abstract thinking.

So it is definitely a useful measurement, and has gone up consistently over the entire planet as people got more access to ample food/water/shelter.

This is a semantic question and makes no sense. You cant ask whether IQ measures intelligence without first defining what you mean by intelligence. Even then it would be highly subjective.

i dont think an iq test is a definitive measure of intelligence, but a more intelligent person will probably do better on one than a less intelligent person lol

This. Whether actually IQ measures intelliegence or not is inconsequential to the bigger point that IQ tests shows high IQs generally do positively correlate with various predictors of success such as income.

I'll say again... one's IQ just determines if a person is entirely ignorant or not.

Anyway I know allot of people with a good EQ, but yet are as dumb as a wet empty box sitting in a ghetto alley.

Also people with high IQs are seen as insane because of their unorthodox ways.

If the difference is massive then sure. Like I fully expect someone who scores a 100 to be far more capable than a person who scores a 70. Like 5-10 points? Not really.
