<p>i would be interested in seeing the relationship between everyones iq and sat score. </p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>No i will not!!!11</p>
<p>As a side note, I think that this thread should not be a platform for debating the validity of the two or one’s relationship relative to the other.</p>
<p>Wow, this thread didn’t receive any responses. I personally have never taken a valid IQ test (I don’t have a very high impression of any ersatz measures that claim to quantify such an abstract quality) so I cannot respond. But even if I had taken one, I would not really want to post my score. There has been some research on IQ/SAT associations, though. Here is a website based on that:</p>

<p>The problem with this is that it’s difficult to get IQ scores. I took a test but was never given a score, only a percentile.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>^ This. Due to ceiling bumping and scales that differ across tests, it is very difficult to obtain an exact numerical representation of IQ. But I took the Mensa admissions test at age 13 (your IQ has to be in at least the 98th percentile to qualify) and made the cut. They never told me my exact percentile, though. So let’s just assume my IQ’s precisely at the 98th percentile. I have a 2120 sophomore SAT and a 2290 junior SAT.</p>
<p>its ridiculous.</p>
<p>I’m convinced that there is a direct relationship between IQ and SAT score. I’ve simply witnessed it amongst my classmates</p>

<p>I wouldn’t say that there isn’t somewhat of a relationship because I have seen such, but I wouldn’t say that there is a direct relationship; some people study for the SAT, but you can’t really study for an IQ test.</p>
<p>I have 150 IQ and a projected SAT scores of roughly 2190. I think my either my test scores should be higher or my IQ should be lower.</p>
<p>I took an IQ test in psychology class and got 150, but my SAT is in the 1700’s. English lets me down.</p>

<p>You can study for an IQ test. Just like there are SAT practice tests, there are also IQ practice tests
Both tests are coachable; however, the SAT’s are more coachable because there are only three subjects that you have to study for: math, critical reading, and writing. In contrast, an IQ test will test a variety of topics: analogies, patterns, sequences, etc.</p>
<p>my IQ is around the 140 area and I just received my January Score, It was a 1910</p>
<p>145 iq; 2260 sat</p>
<p>IQ: 125-150
SAT: 1750 [about]
ACT: 27/28
Not too shabby. The range accounted for the discrepancy with my age or something :rolleyes: . IQ testing is a veery imperfect science at the best.
Also, quoted from the CollegeBoard themselves, there is a high correlation between IQ and SAT, however, there’s a high correlation between height and weight - doesn’t mean they’re the same things. hehe. x</p>
<p>I mean SAT score w/o studying is directly related to IQ score. I’ve seen it</p>
<p>IQ: Around 110-115 (If I remember correctly)
SAT Score: 2280</p>
<p>IQ tests are garbage.</p>
<p>I don’t know whether to be amazed or disgusted by this thread. A few points, first, if you have not been administered an IQ test in person, one-on-one, with a psychologist your scores are meaningless. Online IQ tests are garbage as are those administered in a group format (i.e. mensa). </p>
<p>IQ is simply a global measure of someone’s cognitive abilities. It’s their capability in certain areas, with everyone having strengths and weaknesses. It is absolutely not intended to be a measure of “smartness.” IQ tests should only legitimately used for diagnosis of learning disorders or brain dysfunction, although I’m aware that they are used for placement in some schools, which I find reprehensible. But since cognitive ability does have a lot to do with learning and reasoning, a higher IQ probably will correlate in a general sense with higher SAT scores. It’s not a pure relationship, though, since preparation and effort have nothing to do with IQ, and those things are essential to scoring well.</p>
<p>So get back to work everyone. You don’t have any control over your IQ, but you absolutely have control over how well prepared you are.</p>
<p>IQ:42
SAT:2270

Indeed - I meant that too.
I don’t know if the CB is touchy about it and seeks to remain egalitarian but…
the President did say there was a high correlation between IQ and an SAT score. However, weight and height have a high correlation and are NOT the same thing. I’m just saying that yes, there is a correlation, but they are <em>not</em> analogous. [:</p>
