There is no publicly available information on CicadaSC's IQ. However, based on their performance in StarCraft II, it is likely that they have a very high IQ. CicadaSC is a professional StarCraft II player who has been ranked in the top 100 players in the world. They have also won several major tournaments, including the 2016 DreamHack Open Austin and the 2017 WCS Global Finals. IQ is a measure of intelligence, and it is generally considered to be a good predictor of success in competitive games. In StarCraft II, players need to be able to make quick decisions, think strategically, and react to changes in the game. CicadaSC has demonstrated all of these skills at a very high level, which suggests that they have a very high IQ. Of course, IQ is not the only factor that determines success in StarCraft II or any other competitive game. Other factors such as practice, dedication, and natural talent also play a role. However, CicadaSC's IQ is likely to be a significant advantage for them, and it is one of the reasons why they have been so successful. Congrats on the Dreamhack, WCS wins (2017 global finals no less! One of the highest prize pools!) , and likely very high IQ  For fun, you can look at some of the other drafts, which list the accomplishments as...

WombaT is a well-known figure in the StarCraft community, and he is considered to be one of the most intelligent players in the world. However, his IQ has never been officially measured. No doubt that you are still a genius. | ||

My guess is that that talent only vaguely correlates to IQ. A fast thinking 18 year old with a IQ of 105 would probably beat a professor with 130+ IQ if they both have played the same amount of SC2. This is a useless comparison. Reflex is inversely correlated to ageing. That has been already studied. Buut, it isnt the only variable that determines on how effectively one plays starcraft. To analyse solely the impact of IQ, you would have to compare elements of the same age, with different IQ's. Then you would have the answer if IQ determines how well you play. And I guess we would find that it does affect significantly, because how you play is determined by how you practice and study the game. Serral has said that, often times, he studies the game by just thinking and speculating possible situations on the game. I would very much like to see a longitudinal study like that. | ||

Haha yeah I'm aware, I clicked on the thread because I was interested in both the findings and where you'd get pertinent information from in the first place. There was a certain iq test that destiny took on stream few years back, it was a culture fair test by mensa.no (they probably have a version of the test still up on the site). It was intended as a "practice test" but general consensus seemed to be that it was "good". So one of the pro players who was watching Destiny's stream shared the test in one of the Pro-Player private chats for shits and giggles, I remember at least a good 6-7 high level pro players taking it (or at least sharing their results with the group). Obviously, this test was not administered by a psychologist, as such, it couldn't be "validated" and I'd wager the type of person who must heavily rely on hard boundaries and rules as important precursors to their reasoning, would likely quickly dismiss any findings on those grounds. But *if* we choose to give this test any sort of credence, for the fun of it, then without going into details or specifics, from this small sample size the average was (somewhat considerably) higher than your ai's seemingly completely random guess. This is why I was curious to see if there was actually a study, as a means to compare it to this prior experiment. Personally I found the test to be a good design on the basis that it poses simple and sensible pattern-recognition problems, whereas I've encountered other tests (or parts of tests) that are focused on problem solving / associating ability, but only after passing a "cultural" or "social" "knowledge" layer, which (imo) defeat the purpose. I never cared to look into where the information gathered to spill the gaussian curve it gives you at the end with your results came from, so I wouldn't think of the results as anything definitive but rather just a fun anecdote/experiment; even just personally considering the test to be well structured and without caring for the results relative to the globe - different people within the group, obviously, scored differently at this specific type of task. | ||

Having a good work ethic and a bit less ego would have served me better and got me farther than some extra IQ points. | ||

Lol can't believe we built an AI who can't even figure out your deeply repressed love of Rogue. ''Their writing about the game suggests that they are a fan of players who are innovative,creative and unpredictable'' The IA was so close too. | ||
