Two IQs I'd like to know:

Borodog: I'd put him at mid 130s.
Sklansky: Around the same.

Thoughts?

For the record, I have always tested at 135-140 on various internet tests (which I admit I find enjoyable).

It's worth noting that a lot of Internet tests cap at 130-140.

Really? Had no idea. How do you know this?

Edit: This would explain a lot. When you get all of the questions correct, I had assumed that your score comes down to timing, i.e. your score goes up the less time it takes you to complete the test. I think that is probably true, but some of those tests I basically aced in what I would consider to be fairly short order, and still scored 140.

I would still like to know the source for this, as I wouldn't want you to artificially inflate my ego any more than it already is. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Simply by looking at lots of people's scores and noting that none of themn went above X number and an awful lot were at exactly that number. I even saw one that capped at like 127.

Hmm. But being a bell curve, the number of people above 140 should be extremely small. That's almost 3 standard deviations away from the mean.

Ah, but I see by the wiki article that they admit that IQs much above ~130 cannot be accurately measured, because of a lack of enough very high difficulty questions. So that would explain why online tests might top out just above that.

Hence, I will assume my IQ to be the maximum. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
