SAT and ACTs are better measurements of intelligence...they're much more rounded.

And I'd guess that a majority of people on this site are above 100...simply because they're gamers looking up sales stats, something that a hick in the country doesn't do...I assume.


 The ACT has significant cultural bias, making it relatively weak for a general purpose IQ test. The SAT is not much better: The math is trivial, and the verbal component is so formulaic it can be coached. Neither one of them is really all that effective at measuring intelligence.

In all honesty IQ varies according to your activities etc . In 1990 when i was at St Andrews University my iq was 160 , however i got it tested last year and it dropped to 142 . I sadly expect it to keep dropping as i get older lol and spend too much time gaming !! When im 70 IQ=4 lol .

Gamer till I die

My IQ is |--------------This Big-------------------|

Seriously though, back when I was in University one of my fourth year math professors warned us to never put much stock in IQ tests because after 3 years of math courses we had already learned most of the concepts that IQ tests were based on and if we didn't score in the top 1% we didn't learn the material ...



I don't get it I have 127 and I was invited to be part of a special group in College, now you are all over 120... C'MON!!!!!!!!!!!!11



Hey i will tell you something , having a high iq means absolutely nothing to me i would much rather swap it for common sense gaming ability . I am totally fed up of charging in like a maniac in RFOM and getting totally wiped out ! SO IQ=nothing lol

Judging from the replies, we have at least a dozen of potential Nobel prize winners here! Truly fantastic for a video games website :P

Yeah, we've got what... a sinlge answer bellow the 98th percentil? :P

Edit1: Sorry, scrap that; 3 answers bellow the 98% precentil, but 2 of those are well above the 90th percentil.

Edit2: And they're fast posters too, fast enough to catch me a typo.



Reality has a Nintendo bias.

 *raises hand awkwardly* If by hick you mean country folk, then I am.  We're not all stupid.  I got a 129 at birth (real IQ test) and I haven't taken one since.  Online tests are generally higher than what they should be.  Oh, and the results on this thread are ridiculous.  Most of you are saying 130+, but that IQ is generally only found in 1% of the population.



145 when I took the test they gave me in school last year. Online tests vary greatly from that, I've gotten as low as 60...

 i know. video games should truly be banned--cure for cancer would have been discovered already if so.

or perhaps, there's a better, more logical interpretation...



the Wii is an epidemic.
