before saying talent, that person must has at least an above average IQ, dont tell me that a person with 60 IQ will have a SPECIAL TALENT

You are sooooo wrong, I can't believe you can make a statement like that.  Tallent is something you are born with. It's in your genes. You have mentally challenged people that can do some incredible things...yes their IQ is pretty low. Nerds are high in IQ department but would you let them build your house? or make a basketball team? No!  They are uncoordinated and would most likely hurt themselves. Physical ability has nothing much to do with IQ but it just shows the other extreme. Life is not black or white. It's infinite amount of shades of grey.

My IQ is so high you need an IQ as high as mine to even count that high.

You may aswell ask what his shoe size is and all.

 Why is it, that most high achievers rarely talk about themselves and are usually humble about their exceptional skill, knowledge or tallent and then you have those who need to put themselves on pedestal by telling everybody how good they are....lol

People tell you anything these days.....lol

I haven't met most high achievers so I can't comment on your statistic, but the need to boast is purely behavioral and has nothing to do with specific skill sets.

I didn't mean that globaly, just people I know from sport, business and science. I always stick to one rule.. actions are louder than words.

You know what they say about chess players with big feet...

They have big ratings.

Something like that.

Anyway, in light of this Carlsen's shoe size should be something like

Lol, 100 is average if anyone doesn't know...

However, yes, I agree IQ is not related with chess. I have IQ around 200, but hardly believe I can achieve 2400.

200 what?  Megapoints?

Avatar of AndyClifton

In fairness, he did say "around 200."  So maybe he's rounding up from 101.

Avatar of goldendog

Ah yes, the old rounding up the IQ ruse.

I'm sure he's a very intelligent fellow, but I doubt he is a genius level as far as IQ goes. I've got a rather high IQ, but I'm a very mediocre chess player.

We would have heard of you if you had 200.
