didn't vote cuz I have no clue what my IQ really is

Very nice, I got a 117 on that test
People are fucking up the poll by assuming a random internet IQ test is accurate, on 99% of online IQ tests I've taken I've scored 145+. This test, on the other hand, is VERY challenging and is 100% patterns/puzzle solving.

In a test with only symbols&math about 130, with language a bit lower. Sp probably around 125 in a real test. 133 on the mensa.dk test, evenso I must admin a guessed at several of the last answers. Quite a hard test.The test on mensa.de is too easy, you only lose points there if you make stupid mistakes.

That's so far from the truth it's not funny. You are vastly overestimating C-. I scored 119 on that test that drone linked (I'm C), that test probably overestimtaes IQ a bit, seeing as how everyone taking that test seems to be scoring 130, so in actuality I'm likely to be lower than 119.

I guess I'm the dumbest person playing at my level, seeing as how everyone at my level has AT LEAST 120 IQ.

fuck it. i was about to bitch about how lame those tests were (mensa&hiiqsociety or whatever) but it's not worth it. (mensa-121, highiqsociety-127; i can reach 135 on iq tests in my native language)

so instead, i'm gonna ask if any of you has a link or knows where one can take the Amthauer intelligence test. i could only find 'pay for' crap. it's supposed to be teh shit as far as intelligence&psychological characteristics tests go.
And my fury stands ready. I bring all your plans to nought. My bleak heart beats steady. 'Tis you whom I have sought.

IQ = raw power and is NOT a guarantee of success.
Hard work, tenacity and normal intelligence always outplay raw intelligence and laziness in the long run.

There are so many people who are good at specific things, i.e. chess, starcraft, other mental activities, that are only average(maybe slightly above average) at everything else. I would agree that you need to be at least 115-120 IQ to be amazing at SC or chess, but you certainly don't have to have a 120 IQ to be C- on ICC, that's nonsense. Same with being an expert at chess, there are a lot of players who are 2000+ that aren't really that good at anything else.

The thing people don't realize about chess and starcraft is that they're (for the most part) merely skills. You don't have to be a genius to memorize chess openings and endgames, and you don't need to be a genius to be able to solve thousands of tactics problems over and over until you're decent at the middlegame. I think anyone who has slightly above average IQ could get to at least 2000 in chess. Of course the best players in chess and starcraft are way above average in intelligence, but this is true of nearly every field, even sports.

EDIT: Got 126 IQ on Physician's test. I have no idea what my actual IQ is, but that test is bullshit. There were at least 10 questions(out of 26) that were factual, which has nothing to do with how intelligent you are.

Also, all of you who keep bitching about not seeing a bell curve in TL's IQ statistics: STATISTICS SUCH AS STANDARD DEVIATION FOR THE GENERAL POPULATION DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE STANDARD DEVIATION FOR A SPECIFIC SUBSET OF THE POPULATION. Holy shit you people are dumb T.T

I took an internet test, told me 156, which is obviously false.
Never taken a real IQ test.
People who fail to distinguish Socratic Method from malicious trolling are sadly stupid and not worth a response.

I haven\'t read this thread yet, but why did I not expect to see a bell curve while the page was loading?

On a side note, I really do think I\'m above 130, but ill actually take the test again to see if thats changed.

I knew the poll was gonna be bad, but I didn't know it would be this screwed up Haven't taken a real one myself, although I'd like to. I think I'm about 110 to 120 max.

And you base this on ? Absolutely nothing? My thoughts exactly.

You do NOT need a high iq for starcraft, for christ's sake what makes you think that. The thinking part of sc is cooking up a strategy and understanding what counters what etc. This can be done with the help of other people and within plenty of time. Why anyone thinks you need a high iq for sc is beyond me.

And stop naming sc and chess in the same sentence, it's fucking rediculous.

Has anyone ever said that you sound like a jerk?

p.s. a high iq would help.
