Does IQ play a factor in your tetris skill?

Average IQ is 100 btw

Short Term Goals: Sub 35, piece preview

Long Term Goals: Sub 30, APM and LPM 50+, learn perfect clears, master T-Spins, 0 finesse errors (consistentl

It's not supposed to be an educational game, it's supposed to be entertaining and addictive.  See Alexey Pajitnov's answer at 2:54 in this video.

This isn't something meant to render godly spacial cerebration unto its host.  It's a game.

Who's talking about this being an educational game?

He's just asking if intelligence and Tetris skill have any correlation. There's no need to get all mad and pissy about it.

It could help improvisational skills.

EDIT: But it doesn't help the brain when you continuously do the same task. The brain thrives on doing new things. That could mean trying new tetris games for people here, but I don't know.

If you look up "grey matter" and "tetris" in google, you're sure to get results.

just because someone plays tetris and like it a lot , doesn't mean they're retarded or autistic and skill has nothing to do with those symptoms, my family plays and have no sign of either so not all people just some, it goes both ways and IQ doesn't count for skills in game, it is just a number, depends on how your mind works mainly but anyways so sorry but not ALL just some

My first post in this topic was a poor-taste joke, not a serious comment.  It wasn't meant to be analyzed because it wasn't meant to be logically rigorous.  Sorry for offending people, because it's clear that I did.

Well im assuming that most of us here have an IQ of over 100
Unless anyone here sets to prove me wrong...
If you do post your IQ score it cant be some IQ test from the internet it must have be taken with a psychologist

Damn. That's a mean IQ score. I can't even count to a 100.

Playing Tetris doesn't make you smarter. It makes you think your thinking smarter.
