100 sounds right like 100-110 I think Smalls is right

my mum gives those tests.
i just asked her... if you are older, you likely have "crystalized knowlege" and you'll score higher. numbers vary on what test you take, and apparently those who score between 120 and 130 tend to do more successfully in career, etc. according to studies.
below 55 trainably retarded
55-74 is educably retarded
75-99 low average
100-110 is average
110-120 still average (i forget what type)
121-130 is high average
131-140 gifted
and it goes on... some tests say 150 is genius some is 160

Just out of curiousity, how was that conclusion made?
If IQ is supposedly measured best when someone is a child, what did they do? Get a bunch of children from all over the world, make them take an IQ test, and then guess that the rest of the world must be the same?
Oh yeah... do you know of any online IQ test whose results may be even remotely comparable to that of the Standford-Binet test? I am curious about my "actual" I.Q., since I do consider myself to be at least "somewhat" above average intelligence (*grin from ear to ear*), but, due to that "somewhat" above average intelligence, I'm not going to pay somebody to tell me how smart I am.

Sorry, I must have missed that. If you got mid 160's on this test, that is understandable, seeing how inaccurate it is.
It is possible velvett scored this high, it just screams bs, thats all. A 160 IQ is very rare. If you say you scored 160 on the S-B test I would not believe you.(without proof) Not to say your not intelligent, just that your probably not a genius with 160 score. .009% of people can claim 160, which probably works out to like 10k people in the world. Do you really claim to be one of those 10,000? Are you a MENSA member? Do they harrass you to join? They would if you scored 160 on the S-B.
Smalls: There are several tests, with a bit of variance. The chart I quoted is correct for the Stanford-binet. Dunno what test your chart is. I am pretty certain that children score higher than adults on the stanford-binet test.
Warik: There isn't an internet version of the S-B. It is taken in person, one on one(no way to cheat). It is also timed. I am sure there are some somewhat accurate IQ tests, but I don't know of any that come close to the ones that matter. Might try Brain.com, they have quite a few links to IQ tests.
The 1% is based on an average of people that score that high. Of all the people that take that IQ test, only 1% of the people get 135 or higher. The link I thought I posted that had that quote must have gotten misplaced. I will repost it.
On the Internet, anybody can claim anything. You want me to believe it, prove it.

Not really. Assuming 'individual success' is defined by the accumulation of monetary wealth - a high IQ increases the probability an individual will be able to efficently integrate and process increased amounts of information associated with working in a capitalistic economy.
Take the two extremes. Which individual is more likely to enjoy monetary succecss, a person with a 60 IQ or a 160 IQ?
Yes, a high IQ doesnt cause people to become successfull. But a high IQ *significantly* increases the probability individual monetary success will be achieved.
Btw, current IQ tests do not test purely factual knowledge, or historical knowledge. I just find it really hard to believe some people (corn, velvette) have legitimate 160+ IQ scores. Possible, but hey.

I don't take well to being called a liar - so believe me it will be MY pleasure to try and prove it. Could take a while, would mean I would have to speak to father whom I have not spoken to in 4 years, entering a house 3 hours away but let me tell you it will be so worth it.
Oh and btw epimetheus - Hofstra University was after me to take more tests for some time - but if you knew anything about me you would know that to me at that time the whole situation meant being different than everybody else and what most teenagers want, is to be just like everybody else.
SO, in laymen's term YOU DON'T KNOW JACK, Jack.
