what does an IQ level of 162 mean?

So proud.

<< To have an IQ of 162 means diddly-squat unless one knows which test was used. >>

I think the better statement is &quot;To have an IQ of 162 means diddly-squat.&quot;

<< One excellent thing about being involved with Mensa is that you learn that a high IQ is not necessarily accompanied by good judgment, a diligent attitude, common sense, or an agreeable personality - all of which are factors that have more to do with success in life than an alleged genius-level test score. >>

You had to resort to joining MENSA before you finally learned that? What are you, a non-genius?

I don't believe this test is very accurate. Average Americans IQ is around 100. Genius is 135, so each point is worth quite a lot. 162 would be not just be an genius, but an elite genius. Albert Einstein was 210.

Hmmm, a 29 on the ACT seems fairly low, as well as a 1250 on the SAT

 

[vi edit]

Food for thought -

If you have an IQ of 130 - you are ahead of about 95% of the US population
If you have an IQ of 145 - you are ahead of about 99.7% of the US population
If you have an IQ of 160 - you are ahead of about 99.99% of the US population

spooky huh?

does anyone know a website with a fairly nice description of this sort of stuff?

I took three IQ tests as a child (actually low teens). I recall very litle of them, but I do recall they had a difference. One was given to me by the school to get my admittance into the gifted program, and two were given to me by a friend of my mom (acting as a school psychologist) because my mom was trying to figure out why I never did my homework.

Where can I read up on the different tests, and how their point values work.

145 = 99.7 percentile?
wow considering that it usually means 98 percentile in the world, I guess America must either: A. have less geniuses, or B. have a lot of dumbasses. hahaha I think I pick..... B

tests online are fake. I've taken one saying i had a 190. I'm pretty smart guy like 99tile SATs but 190 is a bit outrageous.

i think i read somewhere that Geena Davis is a Mensa member.

 

[Raspewtin]

Mensa meetings are fun sometimes, but what's sad and pathetic is how it's a little badge of honor for so many people. Whenever I see a bumper sticker I laugh my a$$ off b/c this person has such low self-esteem, he needs to convince others via a bumper sticker that he's an especially useful member of society.

 

[StageLeft]

Online IQ tests are quite meaningless, I've gotten well above 100 before, and also gotten as little as about 65-70, and since I know I have an above average intelligence that just ain't right!

<< Online IQ tests are quite meaningless >>


All IQ tests are meaningless. There's no way to measure intellegence, and there never will be. :Q

Snake: That was like too easy.

Book smarts don't mean a thing if you're a social vegetable. I'm thinking starting a thread titled &quot;what does an IQ level of 162 mean?&quot; comes pretty close. Like those people that insist including &quot;PhD&quot; on all their documents. Uhhh... yea... who cares if you wrote a discertation on &quot;Great 12th Century Literature Written By Guys Named Slav&quot;.

That test really sucked because I got bored and started clicking on random items and came up with a 155.

I took a whole class in the Psychology core about why these tests don't mean anything.... and then a course how to apply these meaningless tests in Industrial Psychology, which is another way to say &quot;Human Resources&quot;

I studied to become Catbert!

Buahahahahahahah!
