IQ-I read recently about people's IQs estimated based on ACT, SAT or GRE scores. Where can you find formulas?

Answer 1

Yes, conversions do exist...the new SAT usually isn't used to estimate IQ though, but it can be.

The new SAT is probably the least reliable conversion, mostly because it's very new and conversions are still not properly formulated.

Even when looking at these charts, it should be noted that they're ESTIMATES of IQ, because the SAT CORRELATES to IQ. So you can get a score your IQ is around, but it could be quite a bit lower, or higher than the value given.

Answer 3

You are correct.

Mensa accepts SAT and GMAT scores as proof that a person is enough of a "genius" to be accepted into Mensa.

Doing a quick Google search, I found the following:

Converting SAT scores into IQ scores: From the Boston Globe:

To convert SAT scores from 1996 through this year to an IQ score, Professor Douglas Detterman of Case Western Reserve University provides this formula: (.095 X SAT Math) + (.003 X SAT Verbal) + 50.241 = IQ

For SAT scores before 1996 -- before the "recentering," which raised the average SAT back to 500 -- Detterman provides this formula: (.126 X SAT Combined Score) - (.0000471 X SAT Combined Score X SAT Combined Score) + 40.063 = IQ.

Answer 4

Based on these answers, I would be in the same range as mentally handicapped people and I know for a fact that my IQ is higher than what the conversion indicates. I wouldn't trust the answers you've gotten so far.

Answer 5

That just doesn't sound right. How can you guage IQ on those tests? Some people freeze up during testing and come out with lower scores than they expect...does that mean they have a low IQ?
If there are formulas they have to be bogus.

I really want to see Michelle's SAT. My son was turned down by Princeton, Harvard and MIT with a 1570. I sent an email to Obama's campaign asking him to publish his and Michelle's SAT and LSAT scores. I've offered to donate the maximum to his campaign if Michelle's is within 250 points of my son's and his is within 150. Reading Michelle Obama's senior thesis from Princeton, I'm convinced that her's was no better than somewhere in the 1100's, tops. Edit: Since my initial offer to Obama, I've sent another offer to contribute if her score is within 300 points. I'm still waiting for a response. As for the comment of Colt .45 below, my son got his degree in Nuclear Physics. I don't think his SAT score was simply retained information. As for street smarts, I grew up on the streets of Detroit and my son is currently in Iraq. If you want to play "one up" with non-academic qualifications, feel free to post some more. I spent 20 years in the Army so I can pretty much trump your experiences. Putting people ahead of others simply because of skin color is pure racist bull crap. The practice is indefensible.

Answer 7

for just plain IQ tests? or the IQ based on SAT, ACT, and/or GRE?

IQ = mental age (score on IQ test) / chronological age
