Wonder if a child with a name beginning with the letter "I" was ever given the nickname "I" by his friends. "Hey, I". Come to think of it, I guess we all have that nickname; it's one we give ourselves all the time.
Isaac seems to be a good name for genius. You have Isaac Asimov, Isaac Newton, Isaac Singer. Wonder if that skews the IQ distribution for people with that name?

According to the Stanford-Binet system, mine is 161. Is this good or bad compared to the average person?
EDIT: what is it like compared to the average chess player?
No one believes what anyone posts about themselves.
At best, they just use it to make fun of you.

Probably the answers are already there but I put the main facts together:
* IQ is presumed to be normally distributed (Gauss distribution)
* the median is set to be 100.
* Normal IQ tests measure between 70 and 130 to obtain results out of the boundary you need specialized tests (e.g. the MENSA test which measures from 115 to 145 reliably).
*Values ...[text shortened]... swer the questions:
a) I am member of Mensa
b) IQ and chess ability are only losely related.
