What is the average i.q. at GFY
 

Hmmmm

I've taken several IQ tests over the years, everything from comprehensive to basic, and always score in the 135-146 range.


but I'd say the average IQ here is in the lower ranges. There are some pretty smart people here though, but they are horrendously out-numbered.

Wow that's crazy I am consistant 129 which is very high considering I didn't finish college.

Maybe 119 actually shit I can't remember.

I usually ring in right around 140. Dunno how that happened...:glugglug

100 is average, so why is 100 - 150 listed as "Philosopher and scientist level shit"?

"100 - 150 Philosopher and scientist level shit "


100 = Philosopher and scientist level shit? mmmk lol

This is a special formula for GFY :1orglaugh

I added a curve

I never finished High School....... went to get my G.E.D when I was 8 1/2 months pregnant and made insanely high scores in half the time everyone else that was taking it made.... and I had been out of High School for more than 10 years. LOL

I have been tested in about every IQ test I can think of many times and it is always around 140-146....

BUT I would have to say that while alot of the ones here like to THINK some of these people suffer from low IQs, I would venture to say most all of them have a much higher IQ than one would think. Not in the highest category, but pretty high up there. :winkwink:

My IQ is 135. I would suspect most of the posters on GFY are in the 115-150 range.

Mine = 125

I took one once as part of college prep testing and scored a 149.

If you read some of the useless shit people post you'd think it would be pretty low.

The last time I was test it was around 140.

i took one a few months ago and i scored 153 or 156, something like that... there was a JBM thread about this subject and lots of poster's results are in it

offtopic but I found this interesting.

The study determined the following IQs of each president as
accurate to within five percentage points. In order by presidential term:

142 - Franklin Delano Roosevelt
132 - Harry S Truman
122 - Dwight David Eisenhower
174 - John Fitzgerald Kennedy
126 - Lyndon Baines Johnson
155 - Richard Milhous Nixon
121 - Gerald R. Ford
175 - James Earle Carter
105 - Ronald Wilson Reagan
098 - George Herbert Walker Bush
182 - William Jefferson Clinton
091 - George Walker Bush

In IQ order:

182 - William Jefferson Clinton
175 - James Earle Carter
174 - John Fitzgerald Kennedy
155 - Richard Milhous Nixon
147 - Franklin Delano Roosevelt
132 - Harry S Truman
126 - Lyndon Baines Johnson
122 - Dwight David Eisenhower
121 - Gerald R. Ford
105 - Ronald Wilson Reagan
098 - George Herbert Walker Bush
091 - George Walker Bush

The six Republican presidents of the past 50 years had an average IQ of 115.5, with President Nixon having the highest at 155. President George W. Bush rated the lowest of all the Republicans with an IQ of 91.

most GFY people (the ones that post enough) have great insight and must have a high IQ

hahahahahahaha... is that for fuckin real? LMFAO :1orglaugh

Nahh...... not necessarily. MOST I have dealt with that post the "bullshit" on here that gets your attention? They are mostly, not always, pretty damn smart.... they got your attention, didn't they? There are always exceptions, but they know what they are doing..... and it isn't an idiot that makes you watch their every single move... :thumbsup

Chaze pretty cool thread :thumbsup

President Bush Has Lowest IQ of all Presidents of past 50 Years

According to statements in the report, there have been twelve presidents over the past 50 years, from F. D. Roosevelt to G. W. Bush who were all rated based on scholarly achievements, writings that they alone produced without aid of staff, their ability to speak with clarity, and several other psychological factors which were then scored in the Swanson/Crain system of intelligence ranking.


Among comments made concerning the specific testing of President GW Bush, his low ratings were due to his apparent difficulty to command the English language in public statements, his limited use of vocabulary (6,500 words for Bush versus an average of 11,000 words for other presidents), his lack of scholarly achievements other than a basic MBA, and an absence of any body of work which could be studied on an intellectual basis. The complete report documents the methods and procedures used to arrive at these ratings, including depth of sentence structure and voice stress confidence analysis.

interesting, thanks!

i thought they were pure and true IQ scores

there's far more to intelligence than what a mere iq test can measure

Thanks My Man,

I can't believe how smart the people are here, I have a new perspective on all the gibberish that floats around :thumbsup

That republican thing is funny too, I hate to say it but I totally believe it.

Sometimes it's hard to be a republican.

I wonder Arnies I.Q.?

I think median IQ would be a more accurate result for this :-P ... theres a lot of smart people on here but theres a lot more "lets buy a tgp script and make $10,000 a month on 1K of traffic" idiots

i thought it was in the -50/100 zone :1orglaugh

my IQ tests average out to about 145.

I've never taken an IQ test

IQ tests I've done have given me a number of different results between 144 and 172. Unfortunately, the whole concept of a measurable "intelligence quotient" is laughable.

IQ tests measure a person's ability to quickly solve relatively simple mathematical problems (even the linquistic parts of iq tests are in fact mathematical problems rather than linguistic problems, unless they are so strongly culturally biased that they shouldn't be taken seriously in the first place) in a completely rational way.
Meaningful intelligence, on the other hand, consists of the ability to solve extremely complex problems in large amounts of time, often using intuitive insight rather than rationality as a starting point.

What IQ tests measure is much like the processor on a computer. Important, and problematic when it's lacking, but simply not the only thing that counts.
I for one would strongly prefer a computer with a 2.4 Ghz processor, 2 gigs of ram, two 160 gig sata harddisks and win XP over a computer with a 3.6 Ghz processor, 256 mb ram, a single 10 gig 5400 rpm ide harddisk and win 98 :winkwink:


Having said that, the IQs being posted here are ofcourse utterly ridiculous. The mean IQ is by definition 100 with a standard deviation of 15, and the average university student has an IQ of about 115. About 1 in 100 people have an IQ of over 135, and rarity increases exponentially as the results get further from 100. To be blunt, I simply don't believe GFY is one of the most intelligent communities on the face of the earth.


Oh, by the way, the "presidential IQ" thing is a hoax:

What does IQ have to do with college, or school of any kind?

I didn't finish grammar school and I still score higher then that.

Your IQ level is basicly a measurement of your brains capacity rather then your knowledge bank.

LOL @ all the people with 135+, do you actually believe yourselves? Online tests have zero value.

my shrink did my tests actually :1orglaugh

ya there's just there to upsell you to find out what your 'strengths and weaknesses' are

Do they still use IQ scores? I thought all the more recent tests issue values based on percentile. Unless you count those crappy online ones.

No, I won't post mine. Posting your IQ online is more or less equivalent to posting your dick size online: unverifiable and pointless. A simple blanket statement covers both topics: It's big enough!

I didn't take my test online. Well, I did that too, and it was higher according to the online source than the offline test I had. Both over 135 though. But that doesn't mean anything. IQ measures problem solving stuff, not intelligence. Well, depends on how you define intelligence to begin with. lol. :)

I believe there are different types of "IQ's" tho.

Finding patterns, problem solving and that shit would be the most common.

But there are also emotional IQ er whatever they choose to call it in English ... not that I've read up on the subject, but those tests are more about figuring out situations, reactions, consequenes. I've done those as well and it's a whole other thing then ordinary IQ tests.

Somebody please correct me tho cause I know way too little about the different types of IQ's to really be speaking about it. (Once again I just love to hear myself talk haha)

got 140

When I was 15 I was in coundeling and I asked if I could take one because I was getting bored during our sessions, and the coundelor said fine. I scored 142.

a real elite board here :)

(yeah, right)
