Im suspicious of these results... We have 5 people claiming be in the smartest 2.5% of the population (>130) and the lowest result is a 108, well above average.

Lets not have a circlejerk that our IQs are so high because of some internet test thats designed to boost peoples egos.

I'm surprised it isn't higher. I'm very high IQ and I visited 2 subreddits on reddit. DAR and heredity. These were the only two subreddits with high intelligence and interesting discussions, at least in my opinion.

There is a reason that not a single community can debate us on youtube or any other platform. We have high intelligence and we speak the truth. How do you beat that? Censorship.

I agree on Mensa Denmark. Those results should not be taken too seriously. As for TRI-52 I cited sources on its .77 correlation with WAIS-III.

This test was normed with a significant sample size. It's not something designed to "boost peoples egos." It just isn't nearly as good of an IQ test as WAIS-IV, WAIS-III, TRI-52, or Stanford-Binet.

Fair enough.

How many questions are on TRI-52?

It shouldn't be surprising. Such a dissident movement would naturally attract very contrarian people. high iq, high inquisitive people that can cut through vast swathes of BS to reach the truth. I would not be surprised if on a political sphere, the alt right was the smartest faction. e The 2nd smartest would be neolibs and the dumbest would either be cuckservatives or communists

Communists would score the highest on verbal IQ, I think.

I am pretty confident that I am 130+, or not far off. I've finished my first year of college working towards an engineering degree and I'm definitely part of the top students in my classes.

I also think I have an advantage with nonverbal intelligence tests. I am looking to become an engineer because I know my strengths are, and my strengths are what I enjoy.

To come to the conclusions we have, one has to be less agreeable and less willing to simply accept the socially acceptable opinions, along with being intelligent enough to evaluate arguments on their own. I'm guessing that the scores are inflated, but not by an especially large amount.

It is clear at least that we are skilled at noticing patterns.

For reference, the Nuremberg boys had a median IQ of 129 or so I believe.

I'll be the first to say that I don't think I'm all that smart, or disciplined, or refined. I'm taking the TRI-52 and pretty much stuck on Q23. I did take the other ones, though: iqtest.dk from 2015, mensa.dk from yesterday.

Don't read too much into IQ. It's a limited metric.
