I saw a question on here that made me laugh.?

If someone has a supposed IQ of 159. Do you really think that the person would not know if it's good? It's like me saying I know how to literal think better than 99.999% of the population. Yet I don't know what an average IQ is.

Just taking a gander here. Do you think the person who asks if 159 is good really has the IQ of 159?

    Maybe that person misplaced the decimal in his/her IQ score.

    I think it depends... I don't think people from Ireland and the UK (and maybe Europe) really measure IQ. I don't know what my IQ is and I don't really think anyone I know does. Measuring IQ seems to be quite a North American thing....

    So, with that in mind, some people who don't really know how it is measured and what the scale is etc could legitimately ask 'is that good?'

    Obviously not, and you didn't need me to tell you that. =p

    Einstein had an IQ of 160 and was busy working on his theory of relativitiy. Do you really think that a person with that IQ would even be on YA. I would think it would bore them to tears.
