I don’t think 165 is impossible. I’m in the 140s and there are plenty of people smarter than me. Probably depends on the test quite a bit though.
It's not that 165 is impossible, it's that statistically 165+ should be less than 1 in 100k people, so in a class of ~100 to have 4 is a as likely as getting hit be lighting every day for the rest of your life.
Take 20-25 points off any reported score and it will be more in line with reality.
Ah. You didn’t mention how many people were in your class. I was imagining the typical American high school with 1000-2000 students. Even still, a class of 100 has a small sample size that can skew pretty far in one direction if it is white/Asian and/or particularly wealthy.
What’s your IQ? Ever been tested? Are you white?
I remember the test because I was one of the 165, we were confused as to why we several of us got the exact same score and they told us that's as high as the test went.
As I said I wouldn't trust any of these numbers. There is no standard test that everyone takes that's then scaled so IQs fit in a standard distribution, so you're kind of comparing apples to oranges. You got 140s, take a different test and it might put you in the 120s or 160s. To the extent that you can get a real number I'd suggest taking one of the Mensa approved tests.
I've only ever taken 1 IQ test my husband pulled up, it was some weird german test that said I was 110. I remember it had a lot of pattern recogniton, some random math, etc. I always thought that I'd at least score a bit higher but didnt know if different tests have different scores but for sure now I do realize. I'm only half white so I guess I blame my native side for being so dumb. 🤣
You did sell your women for glass beads and smallpox. Not surprised
It's ok, I got the whitest irish man I could find to manifest destiny my ass and bleach my children, Im an honorary wheat wife while incognito in clown world because I could always pull a race card, kek. 👌
