I thought it would be quite interesting to pool as many of you guys' IQ as possible just to prove that collectively we chess players are probably the most intelligent board game players around! I'll get the ball rolling with my own which according to the official MENSA test is an impressive 156.

Admittadly, I had used more drugs than the average touring funk band and I was downing pure vodka as I made the test.
Still. You can't use drugs as an excuse.

"In addition, IQ tests like the Wechsler were not intended to reliably discriminate much beyond IQ 130, as they simply do not contain enough exceptionally difficult items. (2)"
(The Wechsler test is the standard IQ test model, btw.)
