How can you tell if you or someone else you know might have an IQ in the range of 200+ without resorting to official testing?
Say, for example, you're someone who has scored the top grades across the board in your country's public exams with very little effort (less than two hours revision, five days a week, for three months prior to the exams themselves)? This might indicate a high level of intelligence, but what if you have a personal distaste for mathematics? Let's say it doesn't excite you and you never took it beyond high-school. Most people with incredibly high IQs seem to be strongly drawn to mathematics. Would you say this is always the case or is it just an example of board culture?

There's almost no correlation between grades and IQ. One of the few things IQ predicts is social deficits at high IQ's, 150+ I believe is when it becomes strongly correlated. Math is a solitary, cerebral, logical pursuit. It makes sense that someone with a very high IQ might be drawn to study maths. Also 200+ is unheard of as far as I know. Don't get hung up on IQ. It's not a bad assessment of some basic intellectual capabilities, but beyond that it doesn't determine anything.

He's referencing the show "Who's Line is it Anyway?" in which the opening lines are "Welcome to Who's Line is it Anyway! A show where everything is made up and the points do not matter."

>social deficits at high IQ's, 150+ I believe is when it becomes strongly correlated
Are you saying that people with 150+ IQs are more likely to be noticeably socially inept?

Yeah, go on Google Scholar and type in "high IQ and behavior." Some of the ones I just read argued a correlation of 130+.

See pic related.
No one on this board knows what they're talking about. Go find a passion for your work.

correlation vs. causation.
