Chess rating and IQ (oh no, not again)

honey, just tried to stop that thiefs to make more problem (or same problems)...just that...wasting too much "victim".... for that thiefs doing...that is funny...

this is about human life...just respecting human life...

HUMAN LIFE NOT FOR SALE

They don't really have a very big correlation at all. My CC rating is 1529, my blitz rating (before i went into my current, extremely awful run of losing about 80% of my games), was around 1400, now 1290 or so, none of which are particularly brilliant. My IQ, professionally tested by a psychologist a few years ago while doing a psychiatric assessment, is 151, which allegedly lies within the top 0.06%, though this seems unlikely to me. 

Of course IQ, as a measure of intelligence, is very poor, in my experience. I have met several MENSA members (I am not one, by the way), a few of which were complete dolts, unable to hold an intelligent conversation at all.

IQ score 157, Rating FIDE 2132.

I believe if faithfully 187 IQ points to potential ownership

IQ tests are not very good at predicting success at anything, other than the ability to write an IQ test on a particular day, though I understand that Kasparov was 190 and Fischer was 187 (quick check on web, for whatever that's worth).  

This issue has been the subject of a previous thread.  See http://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-players/iq-and-chess-the-real-relationship

My guess (no evidence whatsoever to back this up - it is merely conjecture), is that, if anything, EQ, or emotional quotient, would be more likely to have a causal relationship to chess rating.

Fischer never had his IQ tested. You really think he'd let somebody test him? All they can do is estimate, based on other factors. Kasparov's, incidentally, was measured at 135 (supposedly) though his memory was among the strongest ever tested. I think it's more likely that the likes of Fischer and Kasparov are savants of some sort rather than being possessed of an incredibly high IQ.

There's so many insecure idiots on here claiming to have IQ's well above 130+, clearly it's insecurity and the game of a loser.

I lose IQ 3 points per year. It's called staying in place.

I don't see a direct correlation. Chess requires a significant attention span, which IQ tests don't emphasize much on

IQ test has puzzles, upto undergraduate math, social trivia facts, many encyclopedia fact checks, many other things as well, but I cannot remember them all. The two easiest to know is the SAT (secondary school focus IQ test) and GRE (undergraduate focus IQ test).
