... HS ... Stop stiring on people
Actually who cares where those who got more than 120 got more than 120 !!! ... (it won't change anyonce life ) The only problem would be that they feel so intelligent that they miss "the real thing" or disregard those, they think are less intelligent GLOBALY than them ! ... That's all ... again only their loss then ...

FrenchbabyFace,
Actually who cares where those who got more than 120 got more than 120 !!!
There is no greater liar than the person who lies to themselves. I have seen so many of IQ threads on this board over the past four years and they each have the same pattern. I am just trying to ascertain what is so shameful about having an average IQ. Civilizations are built by the average and endangered by the brilliant.
And of course, I like to stir things as well, as you note.
Best regards - HS

Jeannie,
Good Grief, Hillary. Why are you so worked up over this that you would call people you hardly know liars?
I am worked up over this? If so it is news to me.
I am not calling any individual a liar, I am just asking for evidence of their claims. Is that not allowed.
A frightfully and rightfully honest - HS

I've noticed the same thing.
The average IQ in the United States is usually set at 100 . Groups within the US score different average IQ's, such as 115 for college grads or 85 for African-Americans. Similarly, average IQ varies from country to country, shown in the 2002 book IQ and the Wealth of Nations:
National Average IQ's based on Britain = 100. (USA lower at 98) Click 3 nations for more on Chinese, Jewish, and Hispanic IQ's:
Hong Kong 107 Korea, South 106 Japan 105 Taiwan 104 Singapore 104 Austria 102 Germany 102 Italy 102 Netherlands 102 Sweden 101 Switzerland 101 Belgium 100
China 100 New Zealand 100 U. Kingdom 100 Hungary 99 Poland 99 Australia 98 Denmark 98 France 98 Norway 98 United States 98 Canada 97 Czech Republic 97 Finland 97 Spain 97 Argentina 96 Russia 96 Slovakia 96 Uruguay 96 Portugal 95 Slovenia 95 Israel 94 Romania 94 Bulgaria 93 Ireland 93 Greece 92 Malaysia 92 Thailand 91 Croatia 90 Peru 90 Turkey 90 Colombia 89 Indonesia 89 Suriname 89 Brazil 87 Iraq 87 Mexico 87 Samoa (Western) 87 Tonga 87 Lebanon 86 Philippines 86 Cuba 85 Morocco 85 Fiji 84 Iran 84 Marshall Islands 84 Puerto Rico 84 Egypt 83 India 81 Ecuador 80 Guatemala 79 Barbados 78 Nepal 78 Qatar 78 Zambia 77 Congo (Brazz) 73 Uganda 73 Jamaica 72 Kenya 72 South Africa 72 Sudan 72 Tanzania 72 Ghana 71 Nigeria 67 Guinea 66 Zimbabwe 66 Congo (Zaire) 65 Sierra Leone 64 Ethiopia 63 Equatorial Guinea 59So, on average, IQ is roughly 100. This makes sense because it stands for intelligence quotient. Oversimplifying, it is your intellectual age divided by your chronological age. So, 100 is by definition average. There are variations that can be caused by social-economic conditions, language, or cultural differences.

above 174No limitations Shakespeare, Goethe, Newton It never ceases to amaze me that the vast majority of participants in on-line discussion boards are in the top 1% of the population. In fact, there are usually a handful of Einsteins in the group. I guess we must just be smarter than everyone else.
By the way, don't trust online IQ tests.
