A better benchmark would be to simply take an SAT (or graduate level standardized test like the LSAT) and use your percentile from that test to figure your rough percentile on the IQ charts. I have a very high IQ based on numerous _professional_ tests, but tickle apparently thinks I am the smartest man alive.Joexcnxhttp://digileps.biology.nsysu.edu.tw/groups/2ab84/weblog/27b34/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-57329283565646053822012-08-29T10:49:25.289-07:002012-08-29T10:49:25.289-07:00The big band fans' IQ scores may be artificial...The big band fans' IQ scores may be artificially low due to the high prevalence of senile dementia. <br /><br />I love big bands, but I'm in my 40s and a musician.

None liked it a lot, 5 liked it, 5 had mixed feelings, one disliked it, and none disliked it a lot. The corresponding percentages for hetero men were: 7.4, 28.8, 32.5, 26.5, and 5.7.
