Guess the IQ of the Previous Poster

130 or so for Super as a guess. (Don't know Polar from Adam who posted an intervening post while I was typing.)

Guys, with respect, we have a lot of very bright folks here, but the numbers above are way inflated. Al Gore had an IQ of about 130. Almost nobody has an IQ above 140, except maybe Bill Clinton. Here is the percentage range of IQ's. If you are at 135, you are in the top 1%. By the time you get to 150, you are in the top one tenth of 1%, or maybe top one hundredth of one percent (Edit: Actually a 150 IQ is in the top 99.957% range )  Carry on. 

IQ   Percentile
65   01
70   02
75   05
80   09
85   16
90   25
95   37
100   50
105   63
110   75
115   84
120   91
125   95
130   98
135   99

Before the Musgarave poll: 135
After the Musgrave polling: 150

You relativist you! You must be liberal!

135.  I gave Sensei an extra 10 points last week when he said he was a math person. That always impresses me.  You just can't fake that talent; it has to really be there.

very wise fellow, but I don't know if wisdom has much of an effect on IQ. But he's  a smart guy, besides, so 130-140.

That is actually about right.  Few lawyers are above 140. When you get much above that, it gets pretty boring.

Skip me. I'm done.

125-130
