Maybe more. Can you identify them?I would bet there are more than 10 posters here north of 145.
The questions. Some of the things that are asked are not known to all cultures. Try giving the same test we use here in America to villagers in poor African countries.How so?
What aspect of it do you think was controversial?
IQ is definitely the best measure of overall intelligence. However, early childhood development is critical in maximizing your intelligence. Environment, nutrition, etc. are critical in realization of potential.
You can make up for it later to some degree, but there is no replacing a proper environment from the formative years(0-6).
Some tests are better than others at measuring it, but I don't buy the idea that they are racially, or culturally biased(excluding language barriers of course).
Any facts or studies to support this?
That he was able to admit IQ is a real thing and a good measure of intelligence.
He even said the he doesn't believe the tests are racially or culturally biased in nature. I was genuinely surprised and impressed because his side and some of his friends would never say that.
I would bet there are 10x more posters who believe they are north of 145 than are actually north of 145. I also bet that post rate would correlate with believed-to-actual-IQ ratio.I would bet there are more than 10 posters here north of 145.
Going by just daily posters I would agree, but there are lots of extremely smarty pantses that drop in here time to time, or who haven't posted in a year or two.I would bet there are 10x more posters who believe they are north of 145 than are actually north of 145.

I do agree that for a non-academic forum, this place does have a critical mass of intelligent or otherwise sensible people. It's not mathoverflow.net, but it's not bad.Going by just daily posters I would agree, but there are lots of extremely smarty pantses that drop in here time to time, or who haven't posted in a year or two.

Well we can't all have 60k posts.
I dedicate more time to sexually satisfying my wife so she doesn't leave me for her high school crush.
Props for this post. It might cost you in your circle but you spoke the rational truth here.
Who are we talking about? Maybe the guy you're talking to and Zank? Just wondering if I'm missing some good stuff.
Don't worry dude, you make the cutWho are we talking about? Maybe the guy you're talking to and Zank? Just wondering if I'm missing some good stuff.

Something to look at might be the lower end of the IQ range for people who are considered successful. If that's considerably higher than average, even if it's significantly short of genius, I think that pretty much answers the question.
Dochter is one I think. Very strong thinker.No, I mean who are the pop-ins that you're referring to? I'd consider myself an addic--er, regular.
