Not only is chess Melao understands that, absolutely. He is self taught and has no academic training (he studied physics at USP for only four months), but is the author of works considered innovators in various fields of knowledge. In psychology, created the Sigma Test, currently available in 14 languages, published in seven international journals and recognized as an examination for admission to dozens of organizations from different countries. The Sigma Test is used, for example, to evaluate Ph. Ds (scientists, philosophers) and postdoctoral fellows from some of the world's leading universities, including Oxford, Harvard, Helsinki, Brussels, etc.. He is also author of the Sigma Test VI, harder than the Sigma Test and available in eight languages.
Melao is also the author of an improvement in the method used by NASA to calculate the distances to the stars, a correction in the formula used to calculate BMI (body fat), an improvement in the theory of evolution by Darwin and Wallace and also is the author of a method (which became the subject of lectures) to increase the notes of evidence, vestibular and contests, among others. If this were not enough, is the author of several innovations in statistical tools usedPsychology and EconomicsAmong others that can be found on the Internet or printed.
The Sigma Test is available on the Internet where you can find articles that describe the process of standardization and psychometric properties, plus a list of dozens of testimonials from prominent intellectuals from various countries on the impressions that had to be examined with this test .
The article on BMI was expanded and will soon be published in book form. The article on evolution of species should also be published in book formin partnership with José AntonioFrancisco. The method for improving the notes has been condensed in the form of speech.
How much is your IQ?
On December 18 last year, the program Fantastico, Globo network, made a report with melao and other "gifted". The article rightly spoke of people of high IQ (Intelligence Quotient), which had easily in specific areas. Among those who appeared in the article, Melao was the second to have the highest IQ, second only to Einstein, the father of the Theory of Relativity.
Terman's classification (more traditional), a "normal" IQ is between 90 and 110, and a person with an IQ 140 or above is considered "genius". To measure IQ to 135, just go to a clinic, take a test approved by the Federal Council of Psychology, and about an hour, the person receives the result. To measure IQ above 135, are called "hard tests" (difficult tests), which are much more difficult and can correctly measure IQ to about 150 or 160. To measure IQs above 160 there are no suitable tests, and determination is made by the IQ estimate based on intellectual production.
The number itself means nothing unless it is stated the scale at which the test is based and that the criterion of suitability for application is granted. Einstein, for example, had a score based on a test 156 in Wechsler, while melao 159 obtained in a test based on the same scale. However, as explained Melao, this does not mean he is smarter than Einstein, because the Wechsler test is not appropriate to measure IQs at this level. Correct these cases is to use estimates based on intellectual production.
In the case of melon, two international authorities on the subject have made estimates of their IQ: Yonter Baran, Turkey, President of Pars Society (group for people with IQ above 180 by the Stanford-Binet scale) and Alexandre Prata Maluf, a member of three companies international for people with IQ above 180 (Pars, Olympiq and Sigma V).
In the estimation of Baran, Melao IQ is about 200 by the Stanford-Binet scale and the scale 250 Cattell. The estimate of Alexander is numerically very different, but we must draw attention to one important fact: Alexandre is extremely rigorous in their assessments as to estimate their own IQ in the range 169 Stanford-Binet, although, like melao, member three companies for people with IQ above 180. For Alexander, the IQ of you Marilyn Savant, registered in the Guinness Book of 1990 as the person with highest IQ in the world, is 177 by the Stanford-Binet scale. Melao estimated IQ as equal to that of Marilyn, in 177 by the Stanford-Binet scale. According to his estimate, the IQChristopher MichaelLangan is 183, and Langan, in 2000, claimed to have the highest IQ in the Americas. Finally, Alexander argues that Einstein's IQ is 196 (244 Cattell's scale)."
