Re: how high is your IQ?
I'd actually say OS itself is a VERY legitimate IQ test. Wander up to any of the sports games forums and I can tell you almost immediately who the idiots are. I can also tell you who is a genius, which is easy because, thankfully, they always let you know...Last edited by DickDalewood; 10-24-2010, 10:04 AM.Comment

Re: how high is your IQ?
No one day I was talking to someone (Honestly I forget who) and they were telling me about their friend of a friend who had like a 240 IQ and he got a job as a college professor and he forgot to wear his pants on the first day of class and could not make out full sentences when he talked, yet he was like one of the smartest people in the worldComment

I don't remember (was a while ago), but I remember it was good. Never had much common sense, though.Rose City 'Til I Die

Re: how high is your IQ?
The official test I took in 2nd grade was 130
I don't believe a lot of the scores here, if you haven't taken a real test, the number is probably wrong. Anything over 160-165 is getting into the range of having problems dealing with the real world.
Online versions are only half the test and allow guessing. That is usually only the first part and the rest involves taking it with a psychiatrist and doing puzzels, oral questions, and reviewing how you solve problems.Comment

FWIW, I took the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children in 2nd grade and scored in the mid 120s.I write things on the Internet.

Re: how high is your IQ?
Are these scores from legit IQ tests that take hours to complete or from online versions because a lot of the scores being posted on here are better than guys like Einstein? Maybe we just have a lot of geniuses; I don't know.
Of course, the average score would appear higher than what it really is since people with low IQs likely are not going to be posting about it whereas people with high IQs are more likely to reveal their score.
Grade Range Percent
Genius 144 0.13%
Gifted 130-144 2.14%
Above average 115-129 13.59%
Higher average 100-114 34.13%
Lower average 85-99 34.13%
Below average 70-84 13.59%
Borderline low 55-69 2.14%
Low <55 0.13%Last edited by superjames1992; 10-25-2010, 02:30 AM.Comment

Re: how high is your IQ?
Mine was probably lower than what I originally said. I was in the gifted range but that was awhile back. I thought the scale was different, oh well. Could I get that high now, I doubt it, my brain likes to fade in and out on tests.
Do these things even matter much, I never thought much of IQ tests. Also if anyone just took the internet ones and posted on this that's hilarious.Originally posted by BlueNGoldI feel weird for liking a post about exposed penises.Comment

About 1 in 2,000,000 people have an IQ of 173. There aren't even 200,000 registered members on OS and if you're adjusting for frequent posters, that number might not even be in the thousands.
Statistically, it's very, very, very unlikely that someone on OS has an IQ that enormous. I don't think that poster even realizes what that kind of IQ would entail. You'd be reading by 2, using computers by 5-6, and graduating high school and attending college by 12 or 13.Last edited by Chip Douglass; 10-25-2010, 02:55 AM.I write things on the Internet.
