The 16 people with the highest IQ's


My ex is a is a therapist, and took a few school psychology courses. One included learning how to give an IQ test. As you said these a much different than the comic book tests given online. She tested our kids for practice and as homework for the class. I think one of my sons tested around mid-130's (in 5th grade), but I forget exactly.

Don't feel so bad, at least you didn't send them the $4.99.



...did you?

LOL...
No, I didn't. I do think I got 100%, but don't know how the time factors in.

Here's an IQ test question for you.

When someone gives you a free IQ test, this means ________.

a) Both the test and the results are free.
b) Only the results are free.
c) Only the test is free.
d) :2mad:

Obviously, in this case, C.

The test is free, but the results cost you money.
 

My IQ was once tested even higher than that. I will not say how much, because nobody will believe me. It was above the 99 percentile point (99 percentile is an IQ of 135), but I will not say where. Suffice it to say, mine is better than being in the 1%.
 

I'm not impressed with IQ tests in general because there really are different types of intelligences and also because what matters is what you do with what you've got.

As for Mensa, ugh. Back in the '80's one of my younger sibs and I took the test. My score was one point lower, a 149, because of this question:

Choose the one that doesn't fit: (a) beef (b) fish (c) chicken (d) liver (e) pork

I'm STILL not over this, but I have continued all these years to ask others. So far, the vote's been 50/50. I STILL say I'm right.
 
Well it seems pretty obvious that it's liver. Why didn't you pick liver?

Or are you just being stubborn like Marilyn Vos Savant when she screwed up the infamous Monte Hall problem?

Got it from his Mom did he ? Lol...Just Kidding. ;-)

Jacob's test ( my Aspie son ) was done in a clinical and controlled setting by proffessionals and it wasn't to determine what he lacked, it was to determine his potential.

We knew he was exceptionally intelligent but aspies have a characteristic that puts people off sometimes.

They're not really designed...at all, for a lack of a better description, for any social sitiation.

I have a uncle who has it, brilliant man but when my Aunt died some in our family didn't understand his reaction. It was cold and indifferent, and didn't rise to the level of the emotions expected after that kind of loss.

But thats an Aspie for you. They tend to focus on certain subjects almost to the point of obssession and have the IQ to comprehend it on a multidimensional level.

Meat an aspie, find HIS interest and ask him about it. There is no greater expert on the subject than the person standing roght in front of you, whose just morphed from a quiet awkward individual into a excited teacher.
 
I tested with a doctor when I was diagnosed with ADHD (squirrel!), I made the Mensa cutoff (Stanford-Binet) but really was terrible with the algebra questions. I would have had to re-take though to submit, and I didn't really want to do it, I hate the math, but I love the language and critical thinking questions. Confirming that I had ADHD really helped me, just wish I was diagnosed as a kid. I did Catholic schook K-12, so I really was forced to learn, and the education was great (the religious stuff was bunk). When I went to college, I blew it off, but still got the degree, damned if I remember any of it... In my job though, I maintain certification which was a really tough exam, and I have to keep taking classes to remain certified. High IQ will not mean you are successful, but if you find your niche, it will help greatly.

I did pick liver. Mensa said the "correct" answer is fish.
 

For such a high-IQ guy you didn't figure out where the free IQ tests where...
 

The answer is fish.

beef, chicken, liver and pork are all meat from land animals. hence... fish doesn't fit.

Liver isn't exclusively a meat from land animals. Fish have liver too.

Beef, chicken, fish and pork are all meats from a single particular type of animal. Liver is not. Liver doesn't fit.

Lamb .. yum!
 
The answer is liver. All the other options come from muscle tissue.
 

Actually, the higher the IQ the more likely to have some kind of "achilles heel".

And many are too busy thinking big thoughts to care about money.

Never have been sure how being successfully acquisitive became the primary criteria by which people are judged anyway.

When the merchant class replaced nobles as the top tier of society after the fall of monarchy in Europe.
 
I took that one too. Mine didn't give a precise number. It just said "above 145". I knew I'd do well on it because when I took the Stanford-Binet IQ examination many many moons ago I totaled a 158, which is well into the top 99.99th percentile.

 

I can google pictures, dl them, crop them and make **** up too.



 

but they all belong to multiple societies touting how intelligent they are~!!!

People with IQ of 145 don't waste time discussing politics. They spend time making something worthwhile. And they don't call themselves muhammad and have a picture of the profet with a bomb on his head.

Tell-tale signs really.
 

Why should intelligence equate to accomplishment. Many great academics and thinkers have not aspired to greed for money and in fact choose another way of life. I'm surprised you thought that is must and this is a some sort of measure.

Recognition requires .....? Which many intelligent people will not stoop to do or have no desire to.
