lol.
if anyone tells you their IQ is higher than 140-145 then u should get suspicious.
if they say 150 or so, very very likely bullshit, unless its steven hawking.
AND, an IQ test online isnt valid. To join mensa you have one shot at it..one test, and not allowed to do the test again.
they issue a certificate also.
not sure if the beth howlett thing is taking the piss, but not a snow ball's chance in hell she has 188.
id bet my house that she's not 145 either.. 145 IQs cant follow the logic that goes against narcissistic ventures.
they might dabble, but going all out in pursuit of physical prowess just doesnt compute.
Individuals with IQs above 140 don't usually brag about their score. They know that, socially, they have a lot more to lose than gain. However, individuals with IQs above 140 are fairly common the higher one moves up the cognitive food chain (and if it runs in one's family). I'm pretty sure the
average IQ of PhD-level physicists and philosophers is 140. What I find more interesting is there was a study that tested the IQs of run-of-the-mill university math professors against the IQs of prize-winning mathematicians. The scores were well within, and overlapped, each other; practically no difference. What this suggested was that,
ceteris paribus, there are factors apart from what is measured by standardized IQ tests which help to explain success in academic mathematics. For example, motivation, stamina, focus, stability, imagination, synthesis, fluidity, and other things.
