The weird thing is everybody has given their IQ scores.

I posted a thread asking what your IQs were and I only got 2 actual answers. The rest were just discussing the validity of IQ.

There's nothing weird about a highly intellectual subject attracting only highly intelligent people.

Um, yes, there is something weird about this. But it is not only weird: it makes no sense whatsoever

Highly intellectual subjects attract highly intelligent people, but that's not all of what they attract.

But what is this about 'intelligence'? *sigh* This is about IQ.
And it surely wouldn't make sense for intellectual subjects to only attract the people with the top 2% in IQs. Especially when dealing with something this quantifiable, intellectuals can be found at virtually any IQ level, at least surely in the 75+ bunch. And I am almost willing to bet that intellectuals cluster more at around 110 than around 150 or some other insanely high number.

I don't think everybody has given their scores, and I suspect that some of the people who did give a score were not giving their own score (it is nearly impossible to test above 240, and it very unlikely for someone to be able to discuss typology on a computer with a valid score of under 40.)
As I sort of said, there have been so many threads on IQ here that I diversify my response each time. I have endless things to say on the topic, it is just more difficult each time because I've already run out of the easier things to say.
