What does IQ mean anyway

http://onemansblog.com/2007/11/08/th...he-highest-iq/

Make sure you catch the video about Bobby Fisher.

I imagine a high IQ as a double edged sword - if you have a specific task to focus on great - but left pondering the madness in the world ... probably takes its toll. It did on Bobby.

I'm currently reading "On Intelligence" and if you're at all interested in the above you should really check it out.

That's the one. There's an extremely active message board devoted to this book.

To the best of my knowledge IQ is completely irrelevent after about 10 years of age...The reason being is that it takes your mental age and divides it by your actual age- multiplied by 100....so if an 8 year old scores as well as a 12 year old his IQ would be 150 (12/8*100).

But...for somebody that is say 24 years old they would have to score on level with a 36 year old for a 150 IQ.....which is to say that your intelligence does not continue to grow....making it worthless...
