@wolfgang59 saidPeople giving such IQ scores have not understood the test. The IQ scale ends at 145, which is a score which is reached about 1 time in 10000. Higher scores are not statistically relevant.
Young lad from East London has 162 IQ.
Hope it is not wasted.

So the guy has >145 which is quite a number. However my good wishes are with him, since very high IQ-scoreres often have problems to be succesful...

@ponderable saidThen is the reverse true?

@great-big-stees saidThe reverse of what?

The IQ is defined roughly as follows:
* Intelligence follows a normal distribution (Gauss), 98% of people are between 70 and 130.
The smallest and the highest percentile are distributed along the next 15 points. To establish a test to distinguish between people with a probability of less than 1/10000 is not really worth the effort.
The interesting thing is that people today score over 100 on a 50's test.
@ponderable saidwhen i read this i searched for and took an iq test...

-Removed-I've never been tested (for my IQ anyway) but if I were to guess, thinking 145 was really "good", ya know like a score in bowling (high), mine would be...what? 43 or 44?
Edit I had originally given myself a 65 and on further thinking I thought "Nah. Lower Stees".
@great-big-stees saidGenerally we talk about different kinds of intelligence. What is included in our IQ level?

@great-big-stees saidNo it won't. 110 to 120 is well to advance in life
A low score would make it easier to be successful.
