    Yeah I was doing different tests and I thought this was the one that didn't bug you to join all kind of shyt.

    Sorry about that. I just clicked on pass until the damn thing finally sent the result to my email.

    156. Red must have scored higher than me due to the obvious liberal bias in that test.

    But seriously, how do they determine a one point difference on a 20 question test. Obviously has to do with age but maybe amount of time to take it.

    Not sure how they score them but this one made me feel smarter. I took one (non web-based) 3 months ago and I scored a 152. It had about 40-45 questions.

    I scored 157.

    Anyone else think there may be a problem when every one of us scored into the genius level?

    I'm not sure, but I think anything over 135 is considered borderline genius, and anything over 150 is up there with the NASA scientists.

    • Over 140 - Genius or near genius
    • 120 - 140 - Very superior intelligence
    • 110 - 119 - Superior intelligence
    • 90 - 109 - Normal or average intelligence
    • 80 - 89 - Dullness
    • 70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency
    • Under 70 - Definite feeble-mindedness

    Yep, that's a good question. It's all relative anyway. In the district where I teach, students move in from rural districts from time to time and tell the district their child is "gifted." The problem is that the "gifted" designation is given to kids who are two standard deviations higher in IQ than other children in their district (two standard deviations below is special ed.) A standard deviation is around 10 points, so we're talking 20 IQ points above "normal."

    Plano is home to many doctors, lawyers, etc., so the average IQ of students in the district is a little over 112; therefore, to be a "gifted student" in Plano, a kid has to have an IQ of 135 or above. This frustrates many a parent who brings in a 120 IQ kid from another district, wanting to be in G/T.
