actually no, thats not true at all.
80-120 range = average intelligence
121-150 is above average
150+ is considered to possess a genius-level intelligence, but is NOT a genius
180= Genius
you can also be a genius is the 160-180 rabge, but more often than not you simply posses genius level intelligence, but are not completely there
Really? According to WHAT test? Internet tests? Bah, do you really think MENSA is going to accept an Internet test, bolstered up so that numbers look and sound impressive? To make the test taker feel good about themselves?
The leading scale used is the Standford-Binet scale. According to this
site the scale is similar, but the percentiles are wrong from what I even put.
85 - 114 Average
115 - 124 Above average
125 - 134 Gifted University
135 - 144 Highly gifted
145 - 154 Genius
155 - 164 Genius
165 - 179 High genius
180 - 200 Highest genius
>200 "Unmeasurable" genius
And I quote from this site:
Only approximately 1% of the people in the world have an IQ of 135 or over.
So people on this site follow the current trend. (8 inch dick, 250 5% bf, 150 IQ) LOL, please. Sure, all you putting 130+ fall into that 1%. Some of you sure, its possible, but I doubt most people posting here fall into the 98th percentile or higher, otherwise you would be a MENSA member. Hell, some of the LAW students here have terrible grammar and can't spell or use puncuation, and Law students are supposed to be the Creme de la Creme. I doubt they are anywhere near the 98th percentile.

The IQ test is wrong. If everybody here, except one or two people had the score they claimed, this would be the MENSA message board, not the Elite fitness chat board. Again, that inflated stat thing strikes again.
