<p>is there anyone here with an IQ of 160 thats been verified by a pretty legit test?
and if so what school do u think is the best for people with IQs over 160?
IQ 160 (15 SD) rarity of 1 in 31560</p>
<p>I will chance you back I promise</p>
<p>You should know the answers to this question… its not that hard to find out the nations best schools.</p>
<p>I have a 159 verified by Woodcock-Johnson. IQ doesn’t mean anything, its just a measure of your cognitive abilities and doesn’t take into account savants. What are your stats? You can have a 190 IQ and not have accomplished anything.</p>
<p>Yes, I agree, IQ tests are becoming less popular because they are just measures of cognotive abilities and abstract thinking. Just because someone has a higher IQ, doest mean he is smarter than the person with a lower. A lot of perceived intelligence comes from effort and hard work. The people who learn and enjoy learning are the ones who accomplish things, not someone with just a high IQ.</p>
<p>I think the op is just trying to boast about his IQ. What a loser.</p>

<p>Just having a high IQ is not a guarantee of acceptance, it depends on whether you have kept your grades up, participated in extra curricular activities, and have done well on SAT/ACT. And money can be a factor, of course.</p>
<p>A lot depends on what you want to study, and whether you want to be at a larger university or liberal arts college. A couple of schools that have a more intellectual bent, and attract very high IQ students are Swarthmore and University of Chicago. But both are expensive and offer very little merit adi.</p>
<p>How can a guy with a 160 IQ not know what schools smart people go to… And i really don’t think that there’s anyway to measure one’s IQ. The range of the mind’s abilities are too great for any one single test to measure</p>
<p>No one takes IQ into account, I can tell you that. If that’s all you have, the admissions committee will laugh as they throw your app into the rejection pile.</p>
<p>What is your GPA UW
What is your class rank
What state are you in
What is your ACT/SAT</p>
<p>It was not really a boasting exercise but a curiosity
I am not a loser at all…far from it
and no its not that obvious because SAT/ACT are only moderately correlated to IQ the math section has the highest correlation
this question was asked because I am wondering whether
Stanford Harvard Columbia Yale Princeton or MIT
has the highest average IQ
I would guess MAT because they have by far the highest math score range and math is most important part of SAT</p>
<p>my SAT score was 2380
ACT:35 (but really pretty much a 36 because I scored a 36 on each section besides the reading where I scored a 33 so a 35.25 average which is just .25 below the 35.5 cut off
class rank: 9/27
GPA in high school: 3.54 (2.7 first year and a half 3.96 last 2 and half years)
GPA in college: 3.72
states: Colorado and California</p>
<p>but yeah this is primarily about which school values intelligence above all else
and which school has the smartest people and smartest professors</p>
<p>my overall WAIS-III score was 158 but I got a perfect on Vocabulary, Similarities, Arithmetic, Matrix Reasoning, Knowledge and Comprehension</p>
<p>my Stanford-Binet was 162
I recently took two high-ceiling math sequence IQ tests
172 and 175 </p>
<p>but yeah I really think IQ is an outdated measure
and is really imperfect and can be used to justify racism
and I think some sections are pretty useless like the one where you try to recognize what is wrong with a picture, the one where you try and organize pictures into a story sequence and measures which stress processing speed over ability to make conceptual leaps</p>
<p>but yeah I am curious what school is the smartest
a 159 on the woodcock johnson is the highest I ever heard
congrats you should be proud</p>
<p>Yeah I wouldn’t think of putting my IQ on a college application
but quite honestly the obsession about SAT scores at Ivy League schools t
indicates they do not laugh about people with very high intelligence
and quite frankly even if you did put it on resume it would probably not hurt your chances if it was really high
but yeah high IQ people sometimes do not accomplish much
because they sometimes get depressed and alienated
and depressed about what the perceive as the futility of the human endeavor
some geniuses often turn to drugs
because they perceive hedonism as a logical path</p>
<p>I have 50 iq and am 5/700 in my high school class. Am I smart enough for you?</p>
<p>Actually, the only correlation between IQ and SAT is with the reading comprehension questions. SAT math is a joke… I had many 8th grade friends scoring 800 on it. SAT writing involves only knowing a few grammar rules and reading a lot of books to pull examples out of. Reading comprehension is where the logical thinking comes in, especially with the inference questions. That’s why reading comprehension is so hard to improve, just like improving your IQ.</p>
<p>Schools don’t admit based on IQs. Home sounds best.</p>
<p>yeah devrybound the SAT math is ridiculously easy I could finish a section 8-10 minutes in
but my beef with the critical reading
is a lot of the questions are not a matter of fact
there are some questions which subjectively might be right to some people but the answer might be different for others
I think reading comprehension is flawed
some questions are much more IQ geared than others on critical reading
Soniccare idk but I guarantee your IQ is over 120
I dont really discriminate based on IQ
if your in the top 1% of your class
chances are your IQ is in the top 1% of the population (135 or higher)
but yeah thats just my take on it</p>
<p>^ not true there are plenty of highschools where a 3.3 gpa puts you into the top 1% and the average SAT score is a 1400 (CR+W+M)</p>
My professor at UCF Trig Johnson has an I.Q. of 170. He went to Oxford University in England.
