So for example, an IQ of 100 would give that person 100 votes whereas an IQ of 70 would only give that person 70 votes.

That is the most intelligent thing I've ever heard anyone say. Ever.

Well, there is more than one measurement for intelligence. I assume you mean raw brain power.  I have lived long enough to see 11 presidents in the White House. Without a doubt, Clinton gets my vote.  The guy really is extremely intelligent.  Not only does he have a lot of brain power, but unlike President Carter, he was pretty smart in the political gamemanship too.

Well since they don't put any money into the economy, how about a quarter vote instead.  \n\nOr how about to make it fair we give everyone IQ tests and you get a number of votes equal to your IQ, then you can have your two votes.

If you have taken an IQ test, you will notice that it is strongly math based.  Blacks for years have been denied equal education.  You would score lower too if you were forced to have an inferior education.  Remember that slavery was not long ago, and slaves were mostly illiterate.  They could not teach their children, and so forth.  It will take a long time to undo this injustice.  Meantime, I'll bet Colin Powell has a higher IQ than you.

because he's IQ is just slightly more then yours.\ndoes that make any sense.\nas simple as I could.

You're right in that there are other variables than just the Full-Scale IQ score. Remember that the FSIQ derives from other scales within the test (whether it's Stanford-Binet, Woodcock Johnson, Wechsler or whatever), such as verbal ability, general reasoning and a bunch of others. Plus, if a Verbal IQ score is in the retarded range and a nonverbal score lands in the low average range, the full-scale score should be considered unreliable. \n\nRetardation also takes into account a person's daily and adaptive skills--their general ability to deal with activities of daily living. So a person with a FSIQ of 70 can have higher adaptive scores and therefore not be considered retarded. \n\nHaving said that, my experience with special education students is that scores in the 70-85 range--and I'm thinking about nearly all standardized scores, here--would be in the realm of what we think of as a "slow learner." Most of these students will do well with some simple accommodations or modifications in the classroom.

I've taken a couple of online IQ tests (I don't remember if I've done the iqtest.com) and my scores seemed to be off from my 'real' scores (as of 2nd grade) by about 10 points in either direction.  Ten points is actually less than the standard deviation on an official IQ test (between 15 and 25 points, depending on the test), but may be the difference between the 25th and 50th or 50th and 75th percentile.\n\nEven 'real' IQ tests are not really very acurated measures of intelligent.  They test vocabulary (which is very much a reflection of education, and very much not a reflection of ability), and not creativity (which is probably the most important aspect of intellectual ability - accuracy is worthless without originality!).\n\nBTW, I generally score between about 125 and close to 140 on those things.

It's counted as a normal vote because it is a normal vote. It's just a different method of voting.

It's higher than average.  But don't get conceited.  Many major criminals (Ted Bundy comes to mind) had high IQs.\n\nUltimately, it isn't your IQ that determines your success in life.  It's what you do with what you have.  I've seen barely average people do extremely well simply because of their determination.

100 is by definition average, but it's all right here.\n\n\n\nhttp://www.intelligencetest.com/report/1.htm

Einstein and Newton didn't use their brains to the maximum extent.  They just used a lot more of their brains than most people.  Also, an IQ test can be used to test ones "brilliancy", but only if it is a good one.

Judging by the spelling and the bigotry I see on yahoo answers, I would say that most of the people who post on here have an IQ way below 100.

IQ tests follow a sysetm of normal distribution. If the IQs of the entire population were put into a graph you would get whats known as a bell jar curve; a symmetrical line peaking in the middle. The value at this mid point would be 100. So the average IQ score is 100. A bit long winded, I know, but I thought just writing 100 looked a bit thin!

Well the variance of the 3 results is pretty small so you can safely say 131. But what's the point, anyway?\n\nInventor of IQ test answer to what is intelligence was: "it is what my tests measure"

The average IQ is not much age variable.  IQ's within one standard deviation of the average can be considered "normal."  However, IQ is profoundly racially variable.  Here are the averages of IQs for several races.\n\nAsian: 104\nWhite: 102\nMestizo: 92\nUS-resident Black: 85\nAfrican Black: 70\n\nThe standard deviation for all these races is somewhere in the range of 12 to 15 IQ points.

IQ tests are almost never given as group tests.\n\nBy the way, I am not an idiot, I am in school to be a Special Education Teacher...my 4th year...and I have a 3.8.  \n\nIowa tests are not IQ tests...they are achievement tests.  Good try though.
