<p>That’s a very broad generalization you’re making. How can you tell the difference between someone who is “smart” opposed to someone “studious,” and why do you think this applies to all CCers?</p>
<p>Also, more importantly, what’s wrong with being studious? I’ve seen those who are studious go much farther in life than those who are smart and waste their talent.</p>
<p>I’ve never actually had my IQ measured but I’ve always liked to think that it’s around 140. But I don’t know.</p>
<p>And to throw in my two cents: although SATs do most likely have a strong correlation with IQ, the fact that studying can significantly improve your score demonstrates that that correlation is no where near 1.0</p>
<p>Probably like .8</p>
<p>And it will be worse on this website for the simple reason that most CCers prep for the test more than the average person.</p>
<p>There’s a life outside the SAT Prep forum of CC. After being on here for a few months I’ve talked to people on CC and out (no not in person that’s creepy, but on aim) and I must admit I’ve “met” a few bright people, who are both intelligent and studious. On the other hand, from what I’ve seen most kids are just studious. Thriving to get a 2250+, studying for hours on end, etc.</p>
<p>So maybe I might be wrong but it’s just my personal opinion. And I never said there was anything wrong with being studious.</p>
<p>I should add that it’s rather inappropriate for you to insult a rather heterogenous population of people, many of whom are genuinely intelligent and studious (something I don’t find negative). Aside from the rudeness and baselessness of your point, it’s at most tangential to the thread’s purpose, which is admittedly potentially harmful in itself.</p>
Yea, cool story. But anyway like I said, nothing against studious people. </p>
<p>I’m not sure if you think my insults were when I said “I have a feeling everyone is lying here,” because frankly I think they are (okay maybe I exaggerated when I said everyone). Or when I said “There’s a life outside the SAT Prep forum of CC.” I actually meant High School Life, which is an ultimately different world than this SAT sub-forum.</p>
<p>And lastly, wow don’t take anything on the internet too seriously. Some of my posts here on CC are completely nonsensical.</p>
<p>I started this seemingly controversial thread for a reason. This kids at my school have like 145’s and they all received 2350’s on their SAT’s. I think someone in the 140’s and over will have a really easy time getting above a 2300 on the SAT. Lower, hard work will be necessary.</p>
<p>To see if people on CC also had the 140+ IQ and 2300+ SAT score relationship. You, for instance, fit into this category. You talk like a scholarly philosopher as a high school junior and did better than like 90% of the people on this forum as a 14 or 15 year old on the SAT.</p>
