then again, people with a low IQ could be extremely smart at cars, or more practical things. IQ doesnt mean very much, i think IQ is like how quick someone can pick up new things they never heard of before.
cardude2004From what I have heard, if your IQ is above 140 you are a genius. You need to have an IQ of at least 110 to graduate from college. The average Americans IQ is between 80 and 100.
Highest IQ - Most people say the person with the highest IQ ever to have walked on the face of the earth is Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (IQ 210 or even higher).
There is a woman called: Marilyn Vos Savant, she is supposed to be the person with the highest measured IQ (218 at adult age)
Einstein's is estimated in the range of 190-200.

MrktMkr1986According to the last IQ test that I took, I am "smarter" than these people:
George Washington, US President 125
Abraham Lincoln, US president 125
Nicolaus Copernicus, Polish Founder of modern Astronomy 105
I don't believe IQ tests are 100% accurate... I explained my reason here.
cardude2004Yours might be higher, they are just above the average in America. IQ tests can also vary on how well you take tests and on how you feel the day you take them. Some people are smart and take an IQ test and do poor because they don't take tests well. Just because you have a low IQ doesn't always mean you are dumb, you may have strengths in areas and IQ test doesn't test you on.
Where did you go to take your IQ test?
MrktMkr1986Whoa, whoa, whoa... hang on one second there...
When you said "you have a low IQ" who exactly were you referring to?![]()
Also, the national average IQ in the United States (as of 2002) is about 98. So if I scored 129 on the last test, that would put me above average. I also read somewhere that the average IQ of African-Americans is 85. That really 🤬 me off!![]()

cardude2004I didn't mean you have a low IQ, I meant the people who do poor on an IQ test, I accidentally put a period there to split the two and I didn't mean to.
cardude2004I saw your sign last night. Look at this graph -

I have to break the "spell" --- that misconception that Black people are intellectually inferior to other races.
cardude2004I should find another source, I don't know if I believe that one.
