What is the IQ score of the R[evol]ution?

EDIT: Everyone go vote in the other topic's poll because its a corrected one lol. Sorry for screwing this one up, I was trying to change the first options because I figured I should include more than I was, and then I accidently cut out some when I changed some numbers around lol.

[New and improved poll, here: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=113992]

I'm sure many of you are curious about whether our support is full of people with higher IQ's just like I am, so I figured I would post a topic finding out our IQ's.

You can go to www.IQtest.com to take a free IQ test, and it seems to be a good one out of the ones I have taken.

You DO NOT HAVE TO ACTUALLY TELL YOUR IQ.

So if its some number that bothers you, like you're low and wish it was higher, or you're high and don't want to come off as lying or bragging, or its average and you wished it was higher, or whatever, then just pick the right option in the poll and don't feel like you have to post your score on here for everyone to know.

But its not like people on here actually know you anyway lol...... so there's nothing to worry about anyway. And not only because of that reason, but also because IQ scores don't exactly tell whether you're dumb or smart anyway. Lots of people with high IQ's are stupid idiots, and lots of people with low IQ's are smart.

If we see an average above 108 then we can safely assume or guess our overall support probably does have a higher than average IQ score because 108 is the average score for an internet IQ test since its online. (Lower scoring people don't have as much of an internet presence as higher scoring people obviously, so thats why the average changes to 8 points higher online than offline)

100 is the average score.

A site with a free IQ test is: www.IQtest.com

And be honest in the poll please!

There's no point in voting in it if you're lying anonymously for no reason except to hurt its accuracy lol....

Last Internet IQ test I took came out to 153, I think.

Last paper-and-pencil IQ test I took was 17(?) years ago, and my score was 144.

167

That is one impressive IQ if you're serious!

It's been 27 years since I had a real, state-sponsored IQ test. I really don't place much faith in them, but mine was 145.

High enough to notice you left 120-130 off of the poll.

last time i had a test done (legitimately) I hit a 131.

Oops, did I seriously lol? I changed the numbers around to give more options and I must have went back and screwed it up.....

 

[justinc.1089]

Eh... it doesn't look like there's a way to edit polls either..... I see how to edit the title but not a poll... maybe an admin will see this topic and edit it for me lol.

I don't have the patience to take an IQ test. Also I have little faith in them. I like to think I am more a common sense guy than a "book smart" person. Even if a person is a member of MENSA doesn't mean they are not idiotic when it comes to what is best for our nation.

You left off most of the Superior range, 120-130.

By the way, that "free IQ" test is completely invalid. A true statistically valid & reliable IQ test is one that includes Verbal as well as Performance (i.e. task-oriented) subtests. The estimation of IQ from verbal-based measures is only used as a last resort for individuals who are unable to complete motor/performance tasks.

Thus the IQ of the posted 'free IQ test' is in the borderline range.

last time i was back in grade school. When they measured, and then they said I has a score of 79. I cant find the button!

 

[azzuth]

134

How about income? Are there correlations between IQ and income level? It would be pointless to have a high IQ and then be making an average income.

Well yeah of course its not anywhere close to being a great IQ test, I mean its just some free internet one. I just put it up because I have taken a bunch on the internet and that one was the best one I saw. And someone else mentioned I missed 120-130 too lol. I changed my mind about what ranges I was going to include in the poll and changed some numbers and apparently left a gap when I went back and changed some numbers around.

Why can't I go lower than 80?
