It's interesting that the SAT-IQ "conversion" formula is (.095 X SAT Math) + (.003 X SAT Verbal) + 50.241 = IQ and that therefore one SAT math point is "worth"

It's interesting that the SAT-IQ "conversion" formula is (.095 X SAT Math) + (.003 X SAT Verbal) + 50.241 = IQ
and that therefore one SAT math point is "worth" quite a bit more (about thirty times as much!) in IQ than one SAT verbal point.
(The formula seems suspicious, though -- 800 math, 800 verbal converts to an IQ of 129, and 500 math, 500 verbal, which is supposed to be the average college-bound student, converts to 99. The average college-bound student should have an IQ higher than the average person.)
- tedunangst 17y agoDisagree that college bound students have higher IQs than average. There are many factors that determine one's interest in college, and means and motive aren't tied to IQ.
