I see you have put links into your comment, but they appear to do nothing to back up your claim. Maybe a paste typo.

  sigh So far, you've done little more than compare with a completely different form of measurement. Nice timing on that. Here you might find a chart that shows the differences between IQ ranges. You might notice how you could be 10+/- and manage to find yourself in a completely different range: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_reference_chart http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_reference_chart And finally, to "back up my claim", check out a few other criticisms of IQ: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_quotient#Criticism_and_views http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_quotient#Criticism... A personal favorite: A 2006 paper argues that mainstream contemporary test analysis does not reflect substantial recent developments in the field and "bears an uncanny resemblance to the psychometric state of the art as it existed in the 1950s." In other words: fooey. Successful 90 average entrepreneurs invent, evolve and innovate while there are 110+ middle-aged "geniuses" living in parent's basements. Of course, the opposite is also true. An IQ test doesn't reflect who you'll be, if you'll be successful or if you'll change the world. "There is often a stark gap between the abilities of the gifted individual and his or her actual accomplishments. Many gifted students will perform extremely well on standardized or reasoning tests, only to fail a class exam." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_giftedness#Underachievement http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_giftedness#Underac... IQ test is more of a religion than science. Like any religious person, you might allow your belief to overstate purpose.
