What is your IQ?

[Torie]

And it's biased to some extent. It helps to have a huge vocabulary and have a lot of practice in categorization. And of course having nurtured your mind, which is muscle. My IQ numbers on the test in other words are inflated. Yes they are. As a kid I was off the charts. It was ludicrous!

Why don't you ask my Mensa bumper sticker?

Presumably its number if they are issued in chronological order is higher than JJ's, since JJ got it first! I never applied to Mensa. I might not have made it!

Also, 80% of respondents so far are in the 98th percentile.  I have a lot of sedans to get to stealing!

Welcome to Lake Woebegon (sp)!  I must admit that I voted.

I took the IQ test when I was a kid and my Mom refused to tell me what my score was.

However, I did a quick online search of correllations between GRE scores, SAT scores, and IQ's. The resulting estimate from that is what I voted on.

That's an interesting variant. I doubt that it works though. My GRE score would predict me having an IQ of about 150 (and that should probably be a low estimate since having English as 2nd language presumably drags down my verbal score). And I'm certainly not up there IQ-wise. I'd guess my IQ being somehwere in the 110-130 range or so.

What he said.  The SAT/GRE is even more biased of course.   Let's see. I got about 792 on the verbal, with a perfect score 800.  I'm a genuis I tell you - yes genius. 

By the way, I think I may have lowballed Muon2. You know, it is hard to fully appreciate the subtleties of a physicist's mind. Sorry about that.

The idea that intelligence is linear and can be represented by a single number is epic fail, as is most of psychology.

Yes, there are multiple forms of intelligence, and IQ measures but one. It is a poor measure of creativity for example.
