I know it sounds really dumb but my IQ is 73, and USCF is 1700, if my IQ was higher would that mean, my chess rating would be more?

IQ measures things other than things that make you good at chess. To know more you would need to know your IQ sub scores.

Why do you say "my IQ is 73"?

It means that his iq is 73

I don't think your IQ is anywhere near as low as 73. If it was, you wouldn't even be questioning the correlation.

Chess ratings do not have anything to do with a person's IQ score. Some people mistakenly believe chess infers intelligence - it doesn't. It's all about learning the skill, practicing and memory - just like in any other sport such as baseball, ice skating, etc.

Do you ever work with low IQ kids?  Unless you deal with them in an academic subject, there is no identifiable difference. A kid with a 75 IQ behaves no differently than a kid with 110 IQ.

Well, his grammar was questionable, and he certainly doesn’t know how to employ the subjunctive.... I’d say his IQ was around 100, not 73.

Who measured his IQ an why? Hardly anyone with an IQ 73 can play chess.

To get an accurate IQ, a specialist needs to administer the test.

"website"... Oh, that explains everything. Listen, your IQ is not 73. An IQ test result is only valuable when it is applied by a professional psychologist, who is gonna take much more into account then how much your answers meet the correct ones. If you are curious to know your real IQ, try to contact one of those professionals.

"Real" IQ is an estimation of your intelligence and need a specialist in IQ tests and probably more than one test.

i think what @jamescolman meant was that people with IQs of 75 generally don't even understand what statistical correlation is.

They can read and they can see on this forum the discussion of IQ and chess ability.  They have the ability to understand that much and question.
