Ha me to. Except Im in calc 4 right now

what is calc 4? my college only offered up to calc 3, which i thought was MUCH easier then calc 2, what does calc 3 cover for you, in 3 we had all the tripple ints and dervitives and all that fun stuff

we only have through calc 3 as well.

i call shens.
 
142 or so when I took the test back in the 8th grade. Got in the gifted program so I guess it was good enough.
 
146, high school drop out, went to ucla, dropped out, own my own business, make bank, trying to find supermodel to complete picture before I head back for 10 yr high school reunion. Don't believe me? Check my grammer. 😉

i would say 110-120, but points the same.

noone here is over 150.

Pffft! Back in my teens, I took two "official" proctored tests. One trouble, though, was that the tests were badly mimeographed, so part of the challenge was figuring out what the questions were, but I got 160 on those, which was a bit below what I'd gotten on the ones I'd taken in psych class, but close enough.

I don't know that IQ bears much correlation to real-life success; back then I joined a few high-IQ societies and they seemed to be populated mostly by bright but flaky people. Then I let the memberships expire; it doesn't take too high an IQ to figure out that they don't actually serve any purpose besides collecting dues and giving you the occasional newsletter you can leave lying out in case you want guests to think, "oh, he has a high IQ."

I could go for a nice t-bone right now. It's been months since I've had a good steak.

I have some beautiful Delmonicos in the basement fridge.
I'll be chewing on them tomorrow.

136-138.

Yeah, except I'm a high school junior.
 
God, I love these polls. Apparently we have the greatest world concentration of certified geniuses posting on these forums.
 
our school board put students with IQ's supposedly higher than 160 in the gifted program, the testing was pretty cool, all these weird questions, so unlike the iq tests you see on the web

i remember applying for a summer job at a packaging company, they made me do an IQ test, i was debating whether to fully try, if you score too high they might be a little wary
 
My IQ is 120. My brother's is 165.

By "Asian standards," I should be comparatively dumb. Shocking! I didn't get an 800 on my SAT math like the rest of my Asian brethen! That makes me absolutely un-Asian! I wouldn't be so pissed off if the rationale was that both my parents and my younger brother are mathematical geniuses, I should be too. That, is more reasonable. And they are. But I'm not.
 
I honestly do not know. I was in the gifted program for like ever in Connecticut, but Flint has no gifted program to speak of. I did some online tests back in the day, and I got between 163 and 180, but I figure those inflate about 20 pts or some.

My reading comprehension when I was young was WAAAAY above average. We had to take these stupid tests every year from about 4th grade to middle school, and I never scored bellow Post High School in the reading comp. Grammar? different story, only like 10th grade by the time i got to 8th grade. Math was PHS too. But I'm really good at tests. Not sure how that correlates to real life. I mean, I got an 1170 on the SAT (the real high school one, not the PSAT) in 8th grade. My dad was all suprised, 'cause the stats said i did better than 75% of graduating seniors. I said, "Man, graduating seniors must be pretty stupid."

As much as I'd like to think it was 160+ I'd estimate around 140.

EDIT: being left handed means that supposedly I'm right brained, but I'm good at both kinds of tasks. so what ever side being lazy is in, thats me😉
 
hahaha, according to the poll, 60% of the people that post here are geniuses.

We all know ATOT is full of crap but this thread really puts it into perspective.

Our Calc 4 is div, curl, and some differential equations.

 
Anything more than calc 2 is teh boring. After linear algebra, group/graph/set/chaos/topology/number theory is much more interesting.
