I assume the IQs people are quoting reference a 100 point mean, 15 point standard deviation, and normal distribution curve, correct?

If so, on that scale I would estimate my IQ to be not quite one standard deviation below the mean, or about 90. That's despite the fact that many would assume my IQ is greater (who don't know me personally) based solely on my educational/career background. (I have a PhD in aerospace engineering.) It just shows that diligence and determination can count for a lot.

Similarly, I'm not very musically talented, but I've nevertheless managed to play bass in good, gigging bands most of my adult life. I love music and was determined to play an instrument in a band.

Too bad that determination hasn't (yet) resulted in profits at the felt. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
