What is your IQ?

Post Reply New Topic

142

This poll sucks, because I've no idea what standard deviation is considered. IQ of 130 SD 15 means something different than IQ 130 SD 24. The first one is Mensa level (percentile about 2%), the second is slighty above average. The poll about percentiles would be much better and more accurate.

Even more problems.

IQ is the ratio of your mental age (relative to the average standard of people in your region) to your actual physical age.

The oldest person in a country by definition cannot have any IQ greater than 100.

But more importantly:

Because you're not asking where we're from, the results are generally of low precision. Someone from Libya and someone from Norway with the same IQ scores and age will have vastly different mental abilities.
Because you're not correcting for age effects. The younger you are, the higher your IQ can be; the older you are, the lower your IQ will drop with no difference in your mental ability.

I was tested on the Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale III for my age the average is 76 points at 16 years , I scored in proportion to my Verbal Abilities it was over 130 to prevent snobbery and audaciousness however overall my score was much lower at 111.

Thier is a blatant problem with your poll , it using the Terman's Stanford Binet I-III since mental age was dropped in Revision IV in 1986 and instead used Deviation IQs at 16 , reducing the overall giftedness scores and astronomic ratios. Preferably I would stick with 15 as a standard deviation but none of the less this societal stratificating concept stigmatizes too many , especially Aspergoids who would score lower in formal , standardized testing. Hopefully Brain Imagery technology will replace this beaucratic tool.

Mine is 124

I'm not sure which category to vote for. I've gotten anywhere from 120 - 150 in various IQ tests I've done before. The 120 was official, though even the doctor admitted that since that test was done in my third language, and included things like vocabularies and general knowledge, it's probably not accurate. The 150 was from a "culture fair" test which included mostly shapes and no language at all, which I don't consider accurate either. My guess I'm somewhere in the middle, not sure if it's above or below 130, though.

I voted between 110-130. The first test I did gave me the result of 124.

My IQ is 106.

It fluctuates though.

148 (ds15).

That's a funny way of saying it: Getting in touch with neurotypicals.

For me it has always been more about avoiding them. I mean, I don't have to contact them, they're everywhere.
Weren't we all born right into their midst?

This forum and the high IQ fora I attend are the only places I do not meet neurotypicals. Oh, I do meet a few here, but they're not really that typical - in a nice way.

mine is 106, I am at average intelligence and pretty happy about that lol

The last official supervised test i took was in 2003, I was 33.
Not exactly sure which test it was though. I want to say it was the WAIS 3 test.
I got a 144, it said I was in the 99.8th percentile.

None im as dum as a house har hah!
