Yeah, average people get all the pussy. :-\If only you were smarter.

I'm with Mupepe.

I say it's because extremely intelligent and extremely dumb people both have a tendency to be extremely fucking weird.

The site where I stole the graph from speculates that it is because of assortative mating. About 66% of the population are within 15 points of a person with an IQ of 100, while only 12% are within 15 points of a person with an IQ of 130.

Hey! It's a description of the normal curve distribution! I think this is the first time on EB where something actually relevant to my profession has been mentioned.
So PD is the Rain Man I would assume?PD has had a date more recently than I have. :'(

I'm a school psychologist at an elementary school and a middle school. One of my duties is administering IQ tests to students as part of special education evaluations.

IQ tests are meaningless. How could psychometricians create a valid measurement of intelligence after only one century worth of studies? Why, they would need 5000 years at least. Plus how do you measure such important indicators of intelligence like... um bodily-kinesthetics?

Don't give yourself an IQ test.

What is the threshold for mental distinguished mentally-challenged by the way? I'm just asking because I think Shake's school board missed something.
That explains alot. You see im a fucking genius.

132 isn't that high. pffttThat explains alot. You see im a fucking genius.

Wouldnt a genius be smart enough not to be lazy?
It's in the top 2% of the general population and enough to get you into Mensa. It is odd that Mensa accepts people who scored over 170 on the LSAT. A score of 170 is in the top 1% of all test takers and only college graduates, generally with high GPA's, take the LSAT.132 isn't that high. pffttThat explains alot. You see im a fucking genius.

top 2% of the general population > top 1% of college graduates trying to get into Law School.
Mensa needs to give itself an IQ test.
Have you seen a child with an IQ of 68 or below who actually didn't have "skill deficits"?I think it's 75, maybe 70. Actually, distant should know, I don't know why I'm replying. :-\
A full scale standard score of 70 on a measure of cognitive ability places an individual in the extremely low range. However, mental distinguished mentally-challenged is not determined by a mere IQ score, at least, not in Washington state.
For someone to receive services as an individual with mental distinguished mentally-challenged, they need to:
1. Display such a deficit in cognitive ability that their full scale standard score on a standardized measure such as the WJ-II Cog, WISC-IV, WAIS, SB-V is at or below 68.
2. AND demonstrate adaptive, social, and/or academic skill deficits.
So legally, if one were to have an IQ at 68 or below, BUT did not demonstrate skill deficits in their social, adaptive and/or academics, they would not be considered mentally distinguished mentally-challenged.
Whoa, I can get into fucking mensa? Hell yeah, surely I can then get some job if I just drop into the interview like a little tidbit, "oh and I got into mensa the other day".
That's the tits.

I think an employer would roll his eyes. But you can save money on your auto insurance if you're a member of Mensa.
How the hell is everyone here so smart? :lol

How the hell is everyone here so smart? :lolI have an IQ 500, but in my Galaxy that's borderline distinguished mentally-challenged. I fled to Earth to feel better about myself. Think of Tom Cruise visiting pygmies.

It is not a pass/fail test. I canceled the score results, ignorant to the actual results.Didn't you fail the LSAT? :wagHow the hell is everyone here so smart? :lolI have an IQ 500, but in my Galaxy that's borderline distinguished mentally-challenged.

cuz were pretty awesome lolIQ and income moderately correlate, but which is the cause and which is the effect? A study of siblings raised in the same households showed that siblings with higher IQs had substantially higher incomes in adulthood than their duller siblings. Since they both shared the same SES and family background the income difference was a result of intellectual difference between the siblings. Mind you a recent study out of France showed that parental income of adopted children effected the children's IQ. The researcher's of this study also has access to the IQ's of the biological parents and found that heredity was nonetheless more decisive in determing the childrens IQ.
I was actually in the Eastern magnet program, and Mandark was a year or two ahead of me. I think what that experience showed me, besides how to get the Montgomery County public school system to almost expel me, was that parents' income is directly tied to their children's intelligence the vast majority of the time.

Oh well, administering IQ tests is but a tiny portion of what I do.
I think that measures of cognitive ability are pretty worthless on their own, but when it's one part of a large collection of information collected on a student (developmental history, academic skills, social emotional skills, adaptive skills, etc.), they're awfully inciteful and can be helpful in designing specialized instruction programs.
