Also, you might want to see if there is any correlation between your test subject's rank in their game(i.e., mmr in dota) and their cognitive abilities.
well years ago there was a separate mmr for playing with ur team or something
i think
86 and 87.44 score
I typed my email but froze I guess.. should I mail the email of the first page?
So let me get this straight. average IQ across the IQs of players from mentioned games is not less than 100, right? Sorry for my ignorance, statistical math isn't exactly my forte.
Yeah the averages were all around 100 i think? starcraft and CSGO were highest.
91/121.64 2nd to last pattern i just guessed tho rip.
96 and 115.16
Pretty cool hope you can find some cool correlation of certain things (also I hope to see an e-mail one day about the conclusion of your study)
Average player is below the North American average for IQ. Nice. Seems reasonable. Confirmed, games destroy your brain.
I scored 88% on my IQ test last summer when parents were debating if i should be put into an easier school. That's still above average
"how long have you been playing?"
1-2 years
3-5 years
what if i played 2.5 years
"Give an estimate of the total number of hours you’ve spent playing Dota 2."
i'd rather not
"How often do you engage in the following activities in relation to Dota 2
-Visiting forum"
Yeah the averages were all around 100 i think? starcraft and CSGO were highest.
91/121.64 2nd to last pattern i just guessed tho rip.
i was 97 and 116something and i'm pretty sure i had at least 5 pattens correctly rofl
anyway it proved me again that i'm a retard
funny is, that i was getting nearly 130 on most of the tests when i was younger but now i hardly ever get over 120
i guess i'm dumbing down, whatever. maybe if i play enough dota i will be classified as mentally impaired
A 20 question test like this probably has huge margins for error, still sad to see dota significantly below csgo.
116.13

would be really interesting to see how IQ and MMR are correlated
I got 75/92 IQ. I kinda suspected this happens to people which become isolated from society and do nothing but play video games all the time. Could also be caused by me sleeping longer than 24 hours ago, but I doubt that. I just hope it's possible to recover from, I too, had about 130 IQ when I took an official test in my childhood.
I'm so fucking stupid..
I didnt get full score because I answered 2 (sqr(5)) on the 5 sequence instead of 5^0 LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! Was thee first question so I kinda didn't realize xDDD
I want full pot!! why the fuck can't I go back :D
edit:
I think this shit is broken.. (got the same shit you got)
86% percentile on the first test, but I used a calculator because I didn't want to do have to do all of the math in my head and the 2nd portion of the test said that I had an IQ of 98.7
I have a Vitamin B12 deficiency along with a thyroid problem and I'm currently sleep deprived on a 700 calorie diet.
I also dropped out of middle school.
why is so many of us taking the iq test that seriously
that says something about us, maybe this was the point of the survey
Well, after a two attempts I had managed to score 88% on a first test with different numbers, so I guess it's not reliable for telling your IQ. What's more intriguing is that the averages seem to even out exactly like the common sense/perception would make you think - LOL players have lowest average score, while Starcraft 2 players have the highest.
v It was just a number for me. 130 was considered above the above average score in my country, I think
How do IQ tests work for your area? As far as I could remember from primary we were only given classifications such as "average" "above average" and "exceptional" or something like that and no number. The last IQ test I took was when I applied for a Japanese shipping agency and I scored an "exceptional" and even got an interview from the psychometrist, probably to check if I'm insane or having any mental issues I presume. Happened for like the past 4 tests I took including the one from the Jap company and for each one I took every year before the school year. But for this test it says I only have 93something IQ. either games indeed destroy your brain or IQ standards for this country is just dogshit low.
Edit: Also I only had 3 hours of sleep since the past 24 hours but I doubt it made the difference either. took screenshots of the problems I couldn't wrap my head around to see if I could solve them with enough sleep.
depends if you're from peru (joke not joke :D) or some shitstain country like that :D ^
Job opportunities, contacts, having that shit on your CV. And the rest :p, better ego and shit
Well, after a two attempts I had managed to score 88% on a first test with different numbers, so I guess it's not reliable for telling your IQ.
now i know this shit isnt broken. (sry no offense)
Why would any serious psychology student do a "study" like this?
This seems tailor made to target the innate narcissism in this community. You guys are falling over yourselves to input data into an unverified site.
Why is this study taking place by students at a prestigious university like Cambridge? Why are 3rd year students running a study when they haven't even received their undergrad degree yet; that's the kind of work for Masters, Doc, and Postdoc students.
I find no mention of the "study" on the official Cambridge page. There is no information on the PI, the researching fellows; no identification of any sort.
Anyone with knowledge of security that can find out where the page is hosted?
Edit: okay I see they list the PI and fellows, but it's quite easy to spoof that info.
It's poorly made and I doubt it's from Cambridge but still.. Didn't spam us with shit and the questions seemed legit :p
you can always search up the people that are lsited there and ask if it's legit or not
Principal Investigator: Richard Mills
Student Researchers: Madeleine Wong and Sheralyn Loh
Study Centre: University of Cambridge
Could be her, but I won't bother confirming if it's legit https://uk.linkedin.com/in/madeleine-wong-a025b97b

Hello! Are you interested in knowing how the cognitive abilities of someone who plays a MOBA like DOTA 2 compares to the cognitive abilities of someone who plays an FPS like CS:GO?
We are third-year psychology students at the University of Cambridge and we’d like to invite you to take part in a study exploring relationships between video game play and cognitive abilities.
We are looking for people over 18 years of age who currently or used to play MOBA or MMORPGs. This study should take 15-20 minutes and will require you to answer a few short survey questions related to gaming and then complete two cognitive tests. Upon completion, you will receive feedback on your test scores and see how players of different games performed on average.
To take part, please follow the link below:

Thanks!
