actually. your IQ means moe than you expect.
People with IQs within about 5 points of eachother tend to reach the same conclusions when faced with the same data... I see it time and time again.... and it doesn't mean the ones with higher IQs reach better answers either... It kind of works in a cycle. Between this number and that you miss some aspects of an issue that might have swung your view, then between that number and another it switches, and back and forth.
I haven't ever seen any statistics or anything.... this is just something I have noticed looking at all the people I have met and what their IQs are...
Grey and I both have IQs around 140 and we agree a lot.
Wol, while I don't mean we are right cause we are smarter... your IQ isn't the -same- as ours and you disagree.
I see it all the time.
Since IQ is a measure of how well you can see all the aspects of a problem and make logical choices based on it, it makes sense that people with like IQs will be able to make the same deductions.
I find junk like that interesting.
I think... if this data was correct... it would prove something that is a secondary effect of what I am talking about...
There are some issues that from a certain IQ and above everyone agrees on... I think that is when the issue has actually been resolved and a real logical answer has been found...
Unfortunately there aren't many people with IQs over 140... thats already 1-2% of the population..
Wol... I feel bad for you... I know how hard it is to be in your situation.. only you must have got it worse in some ways and better in others... My brother was never tested, but he is between 90-100... and i have an IQ of 140.. bout the same distance apart as you and your sister...
You must of had a harder time because the numbers were lower.. but an easier time with school..
What grey said is right... very few people with IQs over 130 end up well balanced.. It depends highly on the education system they are part of...
Most schools aren't equiped to, not know how to, deal with kids that have very high IQs... so from an early age we get bored in school and stop paying attention and goof off... and a lot of us have other learning disabilities... myself: Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, ADHD and others.. easiest to notice online is my poor ability to remember things by rote. Spelling, grammar, dates, and things like... you guessed it, code syntax and vocabulary, also languages in general... they all are very very hard for me.
So.. compound those together and most of the High IQ kids eventually end up in the Special Ed classes... Where they get even more bored and on top of that don't learn ANYTHING.
so... yeah.. You and I, WolRon, have a lot in common...
