Evidently this thing is very impressed with any coherent language. Might be a sign of the times.

I've gotten everything from 78 to 159. I'd imagine if I average all of my scores for all of my emails, I end up right about average in IQ, which is about where I always thought I was.

Cut and pasted my graduate thesis (it sadly has a serious limit and doesn't accept anything past a certain length) and got a 146 (exceptionally gifted)

probably the most accurate assessment I can get.

not bad. i'll take it.

Is the Q thread archived anywhere?

I figure most on this board are slightly above average in IQ. I don't mind being middling.

I know for sure my IQ isn't 158.

Estimated IQ: 86 (average)




I doubt any president in past 50 years writes their own SOTU address. I also doubt a speechwriter for the president only has an IQ of 86. If you transcribed some of Biden's off the cuff remarks, I think he'd be lucky to score an 86.

I generally question the validity of these tests, but it would be interesting to submit some early 2017/18 Trump tweets (before someone on staff started cleaning them up), complete with his inherent grammatical errors, spelling mistakes and limited vocabulary. I don't know how he would score, but I'd bet it's something less than his self professed 157 IQ.

One thing that should be made clear that really isn't on the website: We all gear our messages by the intended audience. So the message you put on that webpage is more of a reflection of how you perceive the audience rather than an indicator of the writer's intelligence quotient.

It's really just about the writing sample itself, which makes it kind of fun to play with.

I ran a personal email through this because I'm particularly concerned with sharing work emails at an unknown site. Here are are my results:

153 for an off the cuff generic/standard e-mail.

If that leads you to suppose that I leverage scintillating syntax and meticulous messaging for my professional communications, that would be a punctilious prognostication.

Good day to you all

I'm going to start running OT posts through it.

Then I'll take the same posts and switch "You" to "Y'all".

Then I'm going to intentionally break syntax and subject-verb agreements one by one to isolate and identify how culturally biased and potentially racist the estimator actually is....

First you'd have to identify a grouping of grammatical errors and assign them to specific regional or racial language preference.

The OT can help you with that.

Lol. On one of my publications, I got a score of 168. I'm guessing this rewards the heavy use of technical language.

one fiddy one based on the 1st paragraph of my dissertation.

quote:

Numerical simulation involving complex geometries has long since posed significant challenges for engineers
and scientists. In particular, the construction of boundary-fitted meshes can be labor intensive or even a suboptimal
choice for the problem at hand (e.g. certain evolving interface/boundary problems, fluid-structure interaction
models with rotating objects, etc... ). This is especially true for high-order mesh generation where curvilinear
elements are warped to fit more complicated topolgies. Embedded boundary methods offer an alternative
approach to the discritization process, whereby the geometry is “embedded” into a fixed background mesh and
the boundary conditions are enforced numerically on nearby elements.


Then I deleted a couple of sentences and it gave me a 165 lmao. stupid.

Wasn't Feynman the one to say if you can't explain difficult concepts in layman's terms then you don't truly understand the topic?
