anyone got any idea what the highest iq ever recorded was?? |
Marilyn Savant has an I.Q. score of 228, the highest ever recorded for an adult. Savant's parents decided to withhold the information from the public in order to avoid commercial exploitation and to assure a normal childhood. Bored with college life at Washington University, she left after two years to launch a career in stocks, real estate, and investments. Her real interest had always been writing but realized that she first needed a financial base to support herself. Within five years, her personal investments afforded her the financial independence to become a full-time writer. Savant wrote novels, short stories, and magazine/newspaper pieces, mostly political satire, under a pseudonym. Savant's attempt at anonymity ended in 1985 when the Guinness Book of World Records obtained her I.Q. test scores from the Mega Society, a group whose membership is restricted to those with only the highest I.Q. scores. The members' I.Q. has to be higher than 99.999%. Savant's I.Q. score was more than double the person with normal intellect and 88 points higher than the genius level. Savant has published books like I've Forgotten Ever ything I Learned In School and Hard Facts About Its Absence In Our Lives.
I got 124, although I didn't understand some questions since my mother thongue is dutch |

Geena Davis (star of Thelma & Louise, A League of Their Own, and Beetlejuice) is a member of Mensa. |

Its all good.. Marilyn vos Savant writes an article every week for PARADE magazine. I read it occasionally..usually its letters that people send in with questions to stump her, but she usually puts them in their place. Most of the time its those questions that Diginut always asks..
"4 people with black and white hats are in a room, but they dont know what color hat they have on, how can they find out..etc etc etc"
She's pretty sharp about those kind of questions..:eyes: ;) |

Congratulations, Tjerk!
Your IQ score is 127
which is pretty good considering I am Dutch and I do not understand all words, so I can do much better when the test is in Dutch |

IQ tests can only be administered effectively at a young age. after about 10 they become pretty much meaningless. go look up how they grade IQ tests to see what i mean...
a 33 year old with an IQ of 200 would have the intelligence of a 66 year old....
see? it's ed up. only works for kids. |

He meant what he said. What you just said makes no sense. A 33 year old with an IQ of 200 would have the intelligence of a 66 year old because IQ tests are related to age but the equations become meaningless for adults as demonstrated. |
