[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can prep for an IQ test.  In an IQ test, there are a series of questions.  If you memorize the answers you can prep.  (or cheat).  Note that this does not mean you are smarter.  It does mean that you are dishonest.[/quote]
Illicitly peeking at test questions and memorizing their answers is clearly cheating.  This can't be compared to familiarizing oneself with the[i] types [/i]of questions to be on a test.  Regardless of your views on prepping, it does no good to equate the two. [/quote]

If the questions being studied in advance are so similar that only a few words have been changed it is essentially the same as seeing the test itself.

Someone who has studied the questions on several practice tests is exhibiting a different kind of intelligence than someone who can look at a puzzle or problem for the first time and solve it quickly. It illustrates one area of intelligence to be able to study and memorize how to solve a type of problem; the person who looks at  problem s/he has never seen before and solves it quickly and easily is exhibiting a different area of intelligence.

This.  And this can be why certain cultures seem to emphasize memorization compared with creativity.  In the US, we value creativity.[/quote]

Judging by liberal arts salaries you are incorrect[/quote]
