Never done a test before but believe it's mainly to do with logic so think many fabbers would do well as practical and can work out many different positions

IQ tests are not all that scientific and don't give a full picture of a person, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Well, i did Google average male and female IQ's for the UK and i couldn't find any data. I assumed therefore that men must have a higher IQ.

Assuming 161 is high, of course, which I honestly have no idea as I’ve never measured my own IQ.

And the fact that I don’t know what a high IQ is probably means I don’t have one!

As above 100 is average, 161 is top 1% of the country

IQ testing is somewhat discredited - it also measures something that they propose is fixed, yet an individual can increase their results. Of limited value.

There are a lot of people here who seemingly show good intelligence. With thousands of users IQ results should probably reflect that of the general population.

Traditionally though less women have checked their IQ than men, believed to be because women are still struggling to compete with men in the world of work and IQ tests traditionally are encouraged within middle class male society

I'd think its the number of single men, divided by unicorns, subtract fake profiles multiplied by (Bi male divided by fab straight) + number of meets not attended x Pi

So about 55

It’s true that many of us ladies don’t say about our IQ as it’s still a very male dominated thing. But yes I was invited to join Mensa and I’ve no idea what mine is now as I haven’t been tested for years. X

Carol is also a proud member of The Nines Club...those at “Fenland Polytechnic” who receive a Third Class result in each of their three undergraduate years...as Edison said “genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration”...

To modern life, as others have said, perhaps something about EI needs to be added to the quote though. I work with quite a few highly intelligent people who cannot progress because they are terrible at dealing with people.

Do we need to put figures on IQ?

Yesterday one person was asking whether a police dog was paid a wage.

Another person was saying that all Acts of Parliament are maritime matters.

Sometimes you don't need to put a figure on a person's IQ to work it out!

True, IQ measures the ability to do well on IQ tests. Apart from bragging rights, not sure what else this is useful for...of course, it is correlated with other abilities that are more useful in life, but isn’t necessarily predictive of success. Which was sort of my point originally.
