Hi! I'm conducting research on the topic of perceptions of IQ. I would be very grateful if you could answer these very quick questions! Thank you!


Q1.By comparison with the national average IQ score of 100, what do you estimate your IQ to be, should you take one of the standard, objective tests?

Q2.What do you estimate your mother's IQ to be, should she take one of the standard, objective tests?

Q3.What do you estimate your father's IQ to be, should he take one of the standard, objective tests?

Q4.What is your age?

Q5.Are you Male/Female?

Answer 1

I've taken different I.Q. tests. I usually come in between 135 and 142.

My mother was a very smart woman, smarter than myself. I'd say she was at 150.

My father was a smart man too, maybe 130.

43

Male

Answer 2

1) When I took the test to qualify to join Mensa (back when they told you your score), I came in at 138, 99.9th percentile.

2 & 3) I'd say both my parents would have been in the "above average" range, 110-115.

4) 54

5) Male
