<p>The giga society isn’t very impressive to me. They are terrible at web design.</p>

<p>Doubtful. Otherwise, everyone with a 2400 on their SAT would have an IQ of 200. That’s a big statistical no-no.</p>
<p>SAT to IQ conversions are unreliable anyway. SAT scores can vary greatly with each individual sitting depending on the amount of preparation the student puts in, the nature of the questions, and just pure luck.</p>
<p>well, i have an IQ of 150
and i don’t feel any different from my friends with IQ of 100
which is the average.
since 150 is in the midway between 100 and 200
i don’t think 200 is that hard to exist.
also, i once met someone with a legit 180. 200 is only like 20 points higher, so again, 200 shouldn’t be that impossible!!</p>
<p>So I decided to reply to this thread when it brought up the horrifying possibility that someone somehow somewhere was smarter than me.</p>
<p>She’s lying.</p>
<p>what sucks is that most brainy people don’t do well in group environs, best left to their own devices imo.</p>
<p>starbucks08…your impression of the distribution of IQ is, I’m sorry to say, completely wrong. There is not an equal (or even roughly equal) number of people with each of the possible IQ values. IQ is supposed to be normally distributed (i.e. its distribution is a bell curve). The further away you go from 100 (in either direction), the number of people with that IQ decreases.</p>
<p>What I’m saying is that you can’t reason that 150 is the midway point between 100 and 200 and so it isn’t unlikely for a person to have an IQ of 200.</p>
<p>Regardless of what and IQ test really measures, a score of 200 is just utterly insane. I wish her the best!</p>

<p>Indeed. I wonder if he got his IQ score from one of those online tests? ;)</p>
<p>99.7% of the population has an IQ of 130 or less. That’s 997 people out of 1,000. Let’s keep that in mind. People with an IQ of 200 or anywhere near it only come around once in a lifetime; these are people like Da Vinci, Newton, Einstein, etc.</p>
