<p>Pretentious much? I don't like these discussions of IQ/intelligence, creativity, giftedness, etc. You do your best, aim high, go with the flow. Artificial constructions are really just ends in themselves. What's the point of identifying, categorizing, and quantifying "intelligence," whatever that is?</p>
<p>IQ test measure</p>
<p>Quantitative and qualitative processing
Knowledge
Working memory
Visual-spatial processing</p>
<p>There are many types of gifted people. Most gifted people fall into the lowest range of 125-140 IQ. The next level is the highly gifted range of 140-160. The next range is the profoundly gifted, which range from 160-185 IQ. And, at last, there are those who fall in the Genius range of 185+ IQ.</p>
<p>Not all gifted are these socially mal adjusted zombies?that is a myth. It is somewhat true that the higher the IQ, the more social problems a person might have, but this is mostly from hot housing the ones talents and not developing other aspects of their personalities. This is a mistake most parents make when raising profoundly gifted and genius children. If time is taken to develop the whole person, the results can be amazing.</p>
<p>There are different types of gifted:</p>
<p>Mathematically gifted</p>
<p>Artistically gifted (Art, Music, and Athletics)</p>
<p>Intellectual leaders</p>
<p>Verbal talents (authors and poets)</p>
<p>But, those who attain the profoundly gifted and genius ranges usually have a combination of abilities.</p>
<p>I, for one am a Math prodigy with an artistic talent.
I am a self taught pianist. I taught myself to draw Disney characters at age 4. I also completed advanced Algebra at age 9. I was reading at age 2.</p>
<p>The only real difference between the bright normal learner and the gifted is that we learn and process information faster. The myth that we come out knowing is incorrect. We still have to learn.</p>

<p>Stanford-Binet?</p>
<p> [quote=brightkidsathome] -SB-IV - Stanford-Binet 4th edition -SB-LM - Stanford-Binet form LM Individual intelligence test. Both versions are designed for ages 2 to adult. The newer version, normed more recently, has a ceiling of approximately 160+. The older LM version, normed most recently in 1972, also has a ceiling of 160+, however it allows for calculated 'ratio scores' well above that level, for children below a certain age.

<p>That being said, I'd take the IQ over the professional success any day -- success to me is discovering absolute moral ideals logically derivable from a small set of widely accepted axioms (or proving that such do not exist). And there's no way I'd be able to get that with an IQ of 92. I can't see myself martyring intelligence just for a better spot in the workforce.</p>
<p>I'd take being a successful Ivy-grad with a below average IQ.</p>
<p>As for genius, who needs it? I'm profoundly talented at art. In fact, I taught myself to draw comic book characters at three. And I've routinely been a better artist than my art teachers since the second grade. And yet I hate to draw. I don't practice, I don't study. I don't care. And neither do you.</p>
<p>Ivy grad definately.</p>
<p>Haha, bexline, you make me sound like an idiot... my parents were so proud that I could read a few Chinese novels when I was four... haha... wow... no matter, they think I am a failure now.
Btw, what kind of medium do you use as an artist? I've been trying to find someone who usually use the same as I do and am failing miserablly. Amazing considering mine are some of the most common. :)</p>
<p>High IQ... Ivies are just names.</p>
<p>It would be a good idea here to look up some information about IQ tests and how they are constructed. </p>

<p>I love doing ethnic portraits. I use oils, chalk, and charcoal. I am probably the most traditional in my art class as far as mediums are concerned. There are people in my art class that I consider to be a lot more talented than I. I am mainly a copier. I just got comfortable with coming up with something right off the top of my head.</p>
<p>What is your special medium, and I'll tell you if some one I know is exploring it.</p>

there is no full score.</p>
<p>any test that has a ceiling is not done by a professional.</p>
<p>did you do it on the internet or something? that's not your iq.

<p>I'd take the IQ any day. I love learning and being able to approach complex problems logically and analytically. Success with "hard" and "complex" problems correlates extremely well with IQ.</p>
<p>In fact, I'd say I'd prefer more IQ over any other physical attribute.</p>

Meet George Bush lol
[/quote]
George Bush's IQ is actually 112. That's above average. He's smart, he's just never applied himself.</p>
<p>My IQ was 128 while my SAT score was 2000. Do they co-relaTE</p>
<p>So basically you're asking if we'd rather be George Bush or Stephen Hawking.</p>
<p>
Ladies and gentlemen, you may cease to reply to this thread. The purpose of this thread has been fulfilled.</p>
<p>people who chose Ivy most likely have an IQ of 92 to begin with</p>
<p>I have a high IQ and go to a no-name school, so give me the average IQ and the ivy.</p>
<p>ivy grad without hesitation
a person with a low IQ wouldnt understand what the people with higher IQ are capable anyway, you dont know, therefore, it doesnt matter</p>
<p>Im going to Oxford University as of October, but my iq is decent but isnt cosmic, (around 148)</p>
<p>I personally would rather lose the iq than the university and the chances it will offer me.</p>
<p>An IQ of 148 is merely decent?</p>
<p>You are so modest.</p>
