There is new mechanism in bitcointalk.org, now before posting you have to answer a very tough question and that tells your IQ level. I see it something as to stop people from commenting too much or you can comment too much if you are willing to answer too many tough questions correctly. Is it something same like merit system

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

It's nothing serious, that's just a April fool's joke that theymos always do yearly. It's now like a tradition on the forum, we expect something unique every year, Read through thread to understand it's a joke; IQ testing now required before posting. Although this could be effective if it gets implemented, just maybe the question be more bitcoin related instead of general knowledge. Personally I have done some research myself in trying to get the correct answers just to get myself more enlightened because I have seem quite some interesting questions but before the research I just tick any random box. Now imagine if this were Bitcoin/cryptocurency related, pretty sure I would have gotten some valuable knowledge that could be actually useful even though this was just a joke.

In fact, April Fool's Day is to tell people that they must know their own stupidity. Only by learning can they make themselves smart. Don't be self-righteous, think that you are very powerful, and maintain a humble attitude.

Is it something same like merit system If it stays, and perhaps becomes the new norm, IQ level cannot be said to be same thing as merit system. Merits show that a user is not so new here and has valuable contributed in one way to forum, the other IQ Level is to validate per post that a user is not completely dumb, regardless of how long they have been here. I see it something as to stop people from commenting too much
This forum as far as i have known has always encouraged shared perspective on various topics as a means to learn, trying to discourage users to stop commenting seems like a deviation from that. At the end of April fools day, we will know the truth

That would be actually nice feature to be permanent, forces people to civilize themselves, and nice to see as your IQ increases post by post!!!

I was also caught by surprised, but I know that every year, Theymos is pulling some April fool jokes. So everything is just for fun and you don't take this seriously. [1] IQ testing now required before posting

I’d vouch to leave it permanently, with questions regarding Bitcointalk’s rules and etiquette + bitcoin/Bitcoin related questions. BIQ (Bitcoin/BitcoinTalk IQ) could then lead to perks (tbd) … While we’re at it, since adding the questions to the "Post Reply" box were feasible, I’d also leave a permanent visible reminder not to plagiarize on the forum, lest BIQ be brought down to a value of 0 on the offender’s account, leading to a permanent ban.

Today it's April fool's day. Theymos decided to throw a hard joke on us this early morning to at least shake the forum a bit. If this is to be real, a big catastrophe will happen in the forum. So many top members of the forum will be banned because of their low IQ test results even me

You don't have to answer them by the way. If you don't want to partake in the April Fools day joke, then you can just ignore it, and post like you normally would. I’d vouch to leave it permanently, with questions regarding Bitcointalk’s rules and etiquette + bitcoin/Bitcoin related questions. BIQ (Bitcoin/BitcoinTalk IQ) could then lead to perks (tbd) …
Yeah, forums rules is something I glanced over, but I previously thought that Bitcoin questions could be beneficial. There would be no real downside to implementing it, as it could be optional. However, as soon as you introduce a way of comparing yourself to other users, that's when the motivation factor kicks in. Its why gamification is used everywhere, and why old arcade games which were pretty meaningless had high score leaderboards, which people are still playing today to get higher scores. The only issue I see if generating the questions, and coming up with the answers. Although, I think this could be a ongoing community effort. Then, before they're published they're reviewed by others. So, theymos would just need to implement something that allows us to work together as a community to add new questions over time.

This. Nothing more & nothing less than theymos’s tradition to keep us guessing & mildly enjoy a bit of trolling at our expense on April Fools Day. Seems you fell for it, OP.

I see it something as to stop people from commenting too much or you can comment too much if you are willing to answer too many tough questions correctly. Is it something same like merit system Yes this new system has been initiated by @theymos to reduce the spam posting on the forum as he was unable to tolerate all the shit poster on the forum but i think you have qualified it already as the limit for IQ is 120 so you can carry on your forum journey mate. Just kidding this is the forum tradition of celebrating the April's fool day by @theymos so don't worry about it. I’d vouch to leave it permanently, with questions regarding Bitcointalk’s rules and etiquette + bitcoin/Bitcoin related questions. BIQ (Bitcoin/BitcoinTalk IQ) could then lead to perks (tbd) …
I am also comfortable if this system is implemented and it would be fun and chance to learn more about the bitcoin if the MCQ questions are only forum and bitcoin related otherwise if it is carried the current way some members can also participate in reality quiz show winning millions . A warning to members below the post would be great initiative to help them and avoid such mistakes that can force them to leave the forum.But will see how it ends. The only issue I see if generating the questions, and coming up with the answers. Although, I think this could be a ongoing community effort. Then, before they're published they're reviewed by others. So, theymos would just need to implement something that allows us to work together as a community to add new questions over time.
This could definitely be community oriented like for the first part the @theymos could set up few questions bitcoin and forum related that will be shown down the post reply box with options similar to we have here .This coud definitely start some motivational concept for members to increase their IQ level like they now wants to rank up with merit system. Later on one seperate thread could be made to submit the questions or some members could voluntarily take care this job to set up some more questions time to time.This is not some burden or way to restrict new members from joining the forum but they can learn fast and with self motivation to grow on the forum with knowledge and compete with others.But in the end the decision lies with forum adminstrator @theymos and current merit system is also very good..

The note says, "We are now only allowing smart people to post." so I do not understand how OP managed to post this question.
Looks like the system still has some bugs.

This IQ test is a very fun system and can increase the author's insight. but unfortunately it's just an April Fool's joke from Theymos which they always do every year at the beginning of April. (that's what the seniors told me). but I really took this joke and took it seriously. I even created a question thread for everyone ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5392437.msg59711259#msg59711259 ) I can't wait for next year. what theymos will do for april fools jokes in the coming year.

I think at this time even @theymos don't know what he will come up with next year April fool plan so forget about it because it still year ahead.The best part is to enjoy these things on time with excitement and after a day it's all over.As you can see now we all are having zero IQ again .
