I would agree that the numbers given in those charts were pretty absurd once you got to the 99% of SAT scores, which seems to be anything above 1400, which shocked me - I would have thought the 99% would have been at a higher score on the old 1600 scale.If you don't like reality, change it! me

And with that, the notion that high IQ and a high SAT score are correlated is blown completely out of the water....Originally posted by Ben Kenobi View Post1560 SAT, btw.
Either that, or the notion that a high IQ means the same as being rational and capable of logic.If you don't like reality, change it! me

You guys brought up SAT as a measure of intelligence, not me.And with that, the notion that high IQ and a high SAT score are correlated is blown completely out of the water....
I think it speaks volumes that you view intelligence as the sole domain of those people who agree with you on the political spectrum.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Yup, academics are rarely very intelligent. Go to McDonalds and out to the pig farms. That's where the genii are at.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

But not helpfully so. The distribution of IQs is defined to be a Normal distribution, so the mean, median and mode will all be the same. It doesn't actually tell you anything about the underlying distribution of whatever it is IQ measures.Originally posted by Aeson View PostThis is one case where the average is the same as mean.Participating in my threads is mandatory.

About two thirds of people are within one standard deviation of the mean, 95% are within two. One and a half standard deviations above the mean would be 122.5 IQ (assuming mean of 100, and sd of 15) and would be around the 93rd percentile.Originally posted by Berzerker View Postwth does that mean in english?John Brown did nothing wrong.

I seriously doubt that as I believe he'd consider certain people on the right or center-right to be intelligent.Originally posted by Ben Kenobi View PostI think it speaks volumes that you view intelligence as the sole domain of those people who agree with you on the political spectrum.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.
