    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.

      They haven't invented an IQ test yet that Ben can understand.

        And with that, the notion that high IQ and a high SAT score are correlated is blown completely out of the water....

        Either that, or the notion that a high IQ means the same as being rational and capable of logic.

          You guys brought up SAT as a measure of intelligence, not me.

          I think it speaks volumes that you view intelligence as the sole domain of those people who agree with you on the political spectrum.

              I love it, an academic like Gepap talking about intelligence. The hilarity of it is almost too much to take.

                Yup, academics are rarely very intelligent. Go to McDonalds and out to the pig farms. That's where the genii are at.

                    Yes, I agree.

                      This is one case where the average is the same as the mean.

                        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.

                          No, I'm saying the mean poly poster is the average poly poster.

                            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.

                                I seriously doubt that as I believe he'd consider certain people on the right or center-right to be intelligent.
