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 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.
