Don't you think it's odd that essentially everyone you've ever met has an IQ of at least 130+?

IQs became the topic of discussion amongst my circle of friends yesterday, and many were quick to point out that theirs were well into the 150s/160s.

I tried to keep my mouth shut, but the blatant circlejerk and outright lying was making me cringe hard on the inside.

Why do people lie to themselves/others about their IQs? Is it integral to one's psyche?

It is human nature to want to feel superior to one another. Just look at /sci/.

the tests are dumb. you think doing tasks like a rubic's cube or pattern matching or triangle peg jumping is a mark of intelligent?

it depends how much practice a person has with the techniques, concepts, and strategy or a "game" to succeed at it.

i'm good at Mario 1 and beat it in like 5:16 seconds but that's because i practiced...if an IQ test was playing a game like mario 1...i'd have a 200 IQ or some shit number....but just because i played it a lot.

you think someone who can match a few patterns or answer arbitrary questions on language (english is highly semantic language with multiple correct answers at many times) is really going to invent the next invention that helps humanity?

no.

fuck iq tests. value-less silliness.

Could be because they genuinely believe it because of all the flawed internet tests. I've found that the internet tests adds 15-30 points compared to real tests being performed by the military in my country and psychologists.

According to all internet tests my IQ is between 128-140. According to shrinks who performed an IQ test on me during the draft said it was somewhere between 108-112.

Depends. What tier are they studying in? If they have a 4.0 in God or Top tier I'd believe them.

Anyways, most people I've met don't even talk about their IQ. Even I don't talk about my IQ online so I think it's just your group OP.

well having a high GPA *can* correlate directly with a high IQ.

I'm more likely to believe a 4.0 GPA student has a 150+ IQ than any other schmuck claiming it.

The grades you get, regardless of the rigors of a course or program, demonstrate little about your intelligence. There are too many factors that play into what intelligence is, such as social capability and emotional awareness, to say that just because someone has very good grades in a highly math dependent program that they are necessarily also very intelligent. They are probably just very good at math and otherwise slightly above average intelligence, according to all the statistics that exist.

How reliable is that SAT to IQ table? According to that, my mother and I have roughly the same IQ (the SAT scores being from different versions of the test). Seems plausible to me.
