How many people have 160 IQ

When I was a kid I was obsessed with this.

I did so many of those tests and eventually I became very good at them.

Once you understand all possible patterns at wich you are tested, you just test the possibilities from one method to another.

At some point I felt like they were not properly evaluating anything anymore and then I disregarded them at all.

But last I remember I was always in the 150-16x. None of the test I did actually went beyond those values I think.

When you go through life, you actually met a lot of intelligent people and people with all sorts of distinct traits at different levels. I ended up humbled and "satisfied" never more to care about this subject.

I'm in the above average bracket, using both sides equally. A lot of people on here overestimate themselves.

WOW that's sad......Great for your daughter though:)

I'm average and proud of it :)

From what I have seen, The people with "High IQs" are mostly eccentric misfits with not on ounce of common sense.

Probably some form of Autism.

OP clearly you don't...

'how many people have a 160 IQ'...what is that? are you going to tell us how they do? or are you asking a question?

GPA does not go over 4.0.

yes it does in schools that give higher weighting for AP classes.

indeed...and 'IQ' has nothing to do with emotional IQ...there are two tests. emotional intelligence is just as if not more valuable to me than intellect, though i do score high on that.

no one here

so is that a part of the 'no child left behind,' where they lowered the standards so kids would get higher scores in lesser intelligent communities? never heard of it.

144 to 148 (My range on four seperate tests from grade school to a couple of years ago). 140+ is considered Genius, though I think individual talent should be taken into account (There are musical and mechanical genius' that might only have a 120 or so). 160 is MENSA smart...

I took a internet flash iq test. I answered 3 question and on the forth I has to figure our a simple but confusing picture, as I stated at it... The exorcist slut popped up sending my heart ok nto heart attack mode! Then the score came out, 6 iq.

That makes you a regular idiot, algebra is a 7th grade topic. Advanced algebra (whatever that means) in 7th grade is right where you should be. Most of the mathematically gifted kids I know were learning calculus well before high-school.

"Animals are naturally timid and mistrusting because they do not feel safe. This is how they learn to develop watchfulness, cunning and intelligence. But of course, the form of intelligence that fear develops in creatures is a faculty that is very low on the evolutionary ladder. Nature approves it in animals, but when it comes to human beings, it is different; for them, nature has planned another form of intelligence. The fear that makes human beings clear-sighted and intelligent - fear of losing their money, their home, their health, their job, their reputation - is merely an animal form of intelligence. However, since human beings are destined to progress further than animals, a different emotion must come to replace the fear in them. This emotion is love. Love dispels fear. Once human beings are driven by love, true intelligence, divine intelligence begins to awaken in them."

"It is said in Genesis that God created man and woman in his own image, and, since God is also the universe, man and woman are therefore in the image of the universe. Of course, when you take a look at most expressions of humanity, you tell yourself humankind doesn't amount to much. Yes, but at the same time, like God, a human being is the entire universe.

Our intelligence, which can only conceive of the world as three-dimensional, is incapable of grasping the immensity of a human being. What we can see, touch and hear of them is only a very limited aspect. We do not know the true human being; all we know of them is the covering: like a diver dressed in a diving suit or an Eskimo covered in animal skins, humans are clothed in several skins - their different bodies -, and these are what we are more or less familiar with. If you know, in a manner of speaking, how to remove these skins one after another, you discover a tiny point, an atom of light. But, at the same time, you understand that human beings are immensely great and embrace the entire universe. Both these statements are true at the same time."

"How many opportunities are we given to transcend the mediocrity of daily life! But who bothers to pay attention to these occasions? The silence of the night, the starry sky, and the immensity of space offer us the best conditions for distancing ourselves a little from human affairs, for reflecting on other worlds where beings more evolved than we live in harmony and splendour. All of our preoccupations mean nothing to them; they are insignificant events. You will say: 'But what do you mean, insignificant events? Famine, wars, and murders are terrible!' Yes, they are terrible, but in the eyes of Cosmic Intelligence, they do not merit much attention. For Cosmic Intelligence, only the events of the soul and the spirit are important. If human beings attached more importance to those events which could take place in their soul and their spirit, instead of giving material affairs priority, there would be far less misery and tragedy on earth."

"Most people conduct themselves with astonishing thoughtlessness. Indifferent to the examples before their eyes, they learn no lessons from them and continue to behave as if their acts entail no consequences, now or in the future. They transgress the laws of nature and upset the work of the elements, without realising that by their anarchic attitudes they provoke forces which will eventually react in order to re-establish order. Nature is not an indifferent, lifeless, or unfeeling matter which we have the right to treat as we like; it is alive, intelligent, and sensitive. Of course, it is also very patient, but each time human beings go beyond the limits of what it can bear, it retaliates."

Sounds about right.

Those so called high-IQ people are really dumb. They can't even tie their own shoe laces and speak in code to try to fool normal people into believing they are special. I am glad that my IQ is a nice normal 102 and that I am sane.

I have been told I have, I havent noticed

Eff you.

you're awesome.

closing the thread now, ugh.

102 is dumb.

No it's just that Americans like to lie about their IQ as shown on this thread. If they knew how small the percentage of people with IQs above 130 really are, they might not be as prone to lying about it.

It is above average. If Im so dumb why does the government pay me so much to stay at home and play in the internet?

I know someone that was tested by the mensa gang and scored over 200.

Its over 9000!!!

My total score is 125-132 on a wisc test done when I was a child.

I also did the Kaufman assessment battery for children and that revealed some interesting things about my profile. Interestingly enough there is a huge discrepancy between my verbal/comprehension abilities and my math ability. My verbal IQ was at 147, and by second grade I was reading and comprehending at a college freshman or sophomore level.

I'm also ADHD, hyperactive is the word, and I generally don't test well. I dropped out of school in the middle of my third grade year, and didn't go back until high-school, even though graduated HS I barley went to class and I hated every second of it. Then I went to college and got a degree in physics and I hated every second of that too. I think I made the right choice when I dropped out.

Incidentally, I think IQ tests are bullshit, and the online ones are weapons-grade bullshit. I have taken online IQ tests and scored between 150 and 200. I think they are scaled high to make people think they are smarter then they really are.

smarter than Einstein and several others.. if not all.. You should rethink your tests...

IQ testing is just a baseline anyway. As I said, talent is not taken into account. I've known people who were musical genius', artistic genius', and mechanical genius' who tested very average on standard IQ testing...

98 on the asvab 149 on the intj

146 here but to be honest common sense and a mechanically inclined mind has always served me better than he ability to say the next word in a pattern.
