IQ or Intelligence Quotient measures your knowledge base against the norm. For instance, if you are 10 but know what most 12 year olds know, your IQ would be 120, or 12/10. Therefore, the average is roughly 100. IQ tends to follow a bell curve with most people being roughly average. IQ is not a measure of good manners, success, or wisdom. When I was young I was more peculiar than now. In Kindergarten I was doing long division and writing in cursive. I was tested then and often, and scored 168. I was placed in a special program, and asked to skip high school and go straight to college. As a small boy who started Kindergarten at 4 and lived in an abusive home, the thought of having normal male desires and being 4’11” and going to college with fully developed women was more than intimidating. Instead, I stayed in regular school to try to develop social skills.
It was tough, and even today, I can be extremely annoying. Others say I have had a successful life, but the pressure on smart kids is like this, Teacher and Counselor say to 6 year old – “You can’t be a writer or a stand up comedian, with your brain you have to cure cancer or bring world peace.” If you think I am exaggerating, I am not. It is frustrating to be very smart and have such high expectations placed on you. I wonder if other smart people always feel like failures who fall short of their “gift.” My wife is very bright as are my kids. Both my kids were also put in special smart kid programs. My son is studying bio-chemical engineering right now and often feels the same anxiety and pressure to achieve that I do.
Today, I try to lead my life as just me. I try to put aside all those years being told I owed the world something great. I try to just focus on friends, family and writing – all of which I love. So, when I came across this chart, it talked to me. I hate to admit it, but yeah… On Myers Briggs I am an extreme ENTJ. It tells me I should be an executive, in the military or in politics. All of which oddly I have done. Can one change their own stars? That is what I’ve been trying now for nearly three years. It has resulted in a decrease in free floating anxiety and my heart rate and blood pressure are back under control, so something is working.
IQ Percentile and Rarity Chart
These are IQs, their percentiles, and rarity on a 15 SD (e.g. Wechsler) and 16 SD (e.g. Stanford-Binet) scale. They were calculated using the NORMDIST function in Excel. The number of decimal places for the rarity was varied in the hope it might be useful. You can see why presently nobody should be able to get a deviation IQ higher than 195 (or 201 on the 16 SD scale). There are not enough people in the world to ‘beat’. Note that rarities given are of people that have a certain IQ or higher. Some people might find it more useful to know the rarity of people that have a certain IQ or lower. In that case use this example as a guide: If you want to know how many people have IQs of 84 or lower, look at the rarity of people that have an IQ of 116 or higher. (100 – 84 = 16. 100 + 16 = 116).
