Ranking of intelligence of poly posters

If your post style is any indication, you've wasted a lot of money on your "tutorials."

They're free, and it's not

That probably wouldn't be massively high in a poly comparison. There are some seriously clever people on here! We probably have at least 10 graduates of the top 10-20 universities in the world on here, not to mention some people will sillily high IQs.


While I understand KH and Asher are pretty smart people, when not trolling the hell out of everyone else, I'm wondering on what basis you'd put the order? For example Krill goes to one of the best universities in the UK. Dauphin got a 1st from the best technical university in Europe (we're talking pretty close to MIT level here, better for undergrad, some might say).

I'd really love to see, after KH has ranked everyone who wishes to be ranked, some kind of objective indicator to see how closely they match (like SAT/GRE score, IQ, degree level/institution/GPA, etc.) Just to see how close KH's idea of intelligence is to everyone else.

Oh, and feel free to add me

I'll say this now when drunk, and I'll say it again when sober for the +1.

I'm an idiot.

A 171 may not be higher than someone with a 170, however a 175 is still almost certainly a higher true IQ than someone with a 170. Much above that nothing can be said. The difference between a 200 and a 190, for example is often entirely subjective, and flips around when doing different tests.

I think you're probably overstating the measurability at that level.

I don't know if any real "test" can determine the difference.

I consistently tested at around 127. Far from the 160 plateau.

ive never taken a IQ test and i dont want to. i KNOW how i can put it down...

[KrazyHorse]

By the way, 1 in a million is actually >171.3 if the erfc calcultor I'm using is accurate.

I truly do doubt their statistics at that level. That's 60 people on your tiny little island. Only ~30 of them are actually in the adult age range (old enough to have reached their peak, young enough not to have passed it).

175 is 7 or 8 people who have a measureable adult IQ higher or equal to that in the UK...

(all done assuming 15 SD)

[Berzerker]

you can rank me

I know people who are smarter than me. None of them have shown up yet.

I nominate Rufus

[Krill]

KH, why is it that you rank me 6th from bottom BTW? Not particulary bothered, just interested in why you dropped my that much.

[KrazyHorse]

Honestly, Krill, no idea. Most of the people up there are based on something solid I've seen. You're one of the ~20% who were just sort of tossed in there.

[Krill]

Fair enough.

[KrazyHorse]

Krill: I've never really interacted with you, strangely enough. I don't think we generally inhabit the same threads.

About the only thing I know about you is your avatar, which is pretty amusing.
