But anywya, everyone stopa rgueing about smart people's IQ! There are hundreds of tests and all of them yeild different results. 150 on one test may be more impressive than 300 on another.

Don't let numbers fool you -_-v

Think about it a little harder. Analyze the world we live in. You might understand his point a little bit better.


Nice trolling, what makes you think your pathetic mind has a better grip on reality then mine?


Well, I wasn't going to claim that I did, but now I might as well because of your quick desire to fire needless insults.

Edit: In case you didn't understand my original post, I wasn't claiming you were dumb or anything, just that you misunderstood his point, whether it was right or wrong.

first of all guys!

_there are different iq scales_

three different actually, and one says 148 is top 2%, and the other I think are 131 and 126 for top 2%.. (not totally sure about the numbers, but they are around that area anyway. )

considering the rather large differences, it's quite obvious that if someone scores 180 on the 148 scale, his iq will not be close to 180 if he had gotten it measured on the 126 scale.. it would in that case be closer to 150.. taking this into consideration, you might some places see that einstein had an iq of 160, other places he might have 200, but either way the fact is just saying a number is pretty fucking useless unless you also include what scale was used to measure..

as for the person in this story, an iq of above 200 is enough to classify you as a "fucking genius" no matter what scale is used to measure, but its far more impressive if measured on the 126 scale..

oh and this was taken from some official mensa site:E

eri, are you in mensa?

it's strange that an iq of 200 (an any scale) should statistically be so rare that a handful of people out of everyone who ever lived should be that high, yet there are seemingly dozens of stories about people getting such iqs

btw i think iqs are a very bad measure of intelligence for individuals, measuring how "smart" someone is on a multiple choice timed test is impossible

Hey, if these people are just guessing that his I.Q. was 250-300, then wasn't it exactly that? A guess?

you measure iq by giving a test. the test is statistically normed so that approximately a certain percentage of the population will get lower than a given score. you convert the percentiles into an iq scale. the "iq" measured on tests is actually not the intelligence quotient but something called general intelligence.
