Are you a genius?

Tested when I was much younger I had an IQ of 162, when tested again a few years back it was 145, so therefore I estimate that if my IQ continues to decrease at the rate it is doing now I will be completely retarded by the age of 75, which is about the time I will likely die of cancer from smoking if I don't pack it in soon.
 
Hmm, correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that IQ tests could only accurately measure IQs of up to 160, due to the bell curve and standard distribution. Of course, the accurate part is much debated, plus someone with a high IQ can be pretty damn stupid, while someone with a lower IQ can be intelligent, just bad at taking tests.

Interesting, didn't know that, would love to know where they got 162 from originally then :roll:

If I recall correctly, the majority of IQ tests are only valid for a certain range of IQ's.. Thus, if you take a test and score 150, you may need to take another test to narrow it down a bit. Likewise, if you take a test and score a 60, the people caring for you will probably give you another test so they can correctly diagnose you as mildly mentally retarded, moderately mentally retarded, severely, or profoundly MR. I remember listening in on the lower IQ tests.. "what sound does a cow make" is one question I remember.... and I don't think you'll find it on any test for a normal range.

Then again, if during the first examination, you scored a 145, why would you really care what it actually is? Simply knowing you're smarter than most of the people walking around you should be sufficient. BTW, OP - 200?! Bullshit.

Personally, I find that a lot of IQ tests that I've seen, particularly tests online, are very biased toward people who have strong math backgrounds.... particularly since those people have been "trained" at looking for patterns. Then again, I also feel that people with strong math/science backgrounds are smarter than the rest of you 😛

edit: if you were profoundly mentally retarded, you would not be reading this and would never score a 60 on any IQ exam.... my bad.
