why does everyone bump these posts smh

chess.com should really add a feature to prevent necroposting, it's a bit dumb to have people bumping irrelevant threads where the op isn't even part of the discussion anymore.

I read somewhere in a serious source that it was 180-190.

I wonder though, since IQ is often measured at a young age, what the correlation with age is.
Because Kasparov might have been 190 at some point, but I wonder now.
Judit Polgar is 170, I believe it.
I am around 130-135 and her mind is leaps and bounds higher.

Define "Serious Source." In any case, IQ is an artificial number that tells you almost nothing about the special abilities that top grandmasters, concert violinists, or Nobel Prize winning physicists possess. The most important use of a high IQ is to score well on IQ tests.

You're forgetting the most important and certainly most common use for a high IQ: bragging about it on the internet

"the most important use of a high iq is to score high on iq tests"

are you serious? you have a low iq...

 

what you stated is ignorant as hell....IQ isn't meant to be a  description of your "special abilities", career, hobbies, interests, or what your future mate will be, moron.

I don't agree with all this stuff about IQ being meaningless. But then, I wouldn't, because I had an astronomical IQ as a kid, measured in a properly conducted test, and it correlates with my abilities and creativity as an adult. Others I know, who've scored high, perhaps in a Mensa test, again properly conducted, have been exceptionally able people.

It's obvious nonsense, concocted by those with a mediocre to low measured IQ. If you're set a series of unpredictable and difficult mental problems, on paper, which demand quite a range of abilities, including deduction, visualisation and creativity, your performance is going to correlate well with your ability to solve such problems in real life and basically that's what intelligence is. Intelligence is the ability to understand and make use of the environment. Your environment includes puzzles written down on paper or online.

Carlsen's IQ is probably 145+

People that predict IQs probably have lower than average IQs...

Unless they guess them correctly, of course.

It's just a discussion, old bean, like all the rest. You might have an obsession with obsessions, for all I know. There's no need to try to morally veto or censor subject matter. We're grown ups ....

I just looked up "incels". Never heard of it before. shocksurprise I don't understand it. Can you work out why I don't understand it?

I wouldn't even try. But I hope we're not having an argument

Of course not. I've looked it up and then done some further investigation. And then listened to some people talking about it, from both sides of the situation. I remember being an incel, back when I was about 25 and 26. But in reality, I also knew it was part of a change of attitude, in me, to relationships. I was standing back from them for a while, because I'd eventually rejected both polarities.

One polarity is that you're only going to have a relationship with the right person. The other is that you'd have one with anyone who came along, provided she was fairly good looking and reasonably intelligent. And I didn't know what the third option was; but I found out and it works very well.

So these are people who don't have the confidence to understand that the right-for-them relationships will come along. They see themselves as being rejected, which causes them to feel angry. "Angry Young Men" has always been a thing. It isn't anything new. Every so often a nice war comes along and gives meaning to their lives.

My confusion was that "incel" could be a contraction of incelibate but these people are distinctly celibate. Then I found out it was a contraction of "involuntarily celibate". So I'm not surprised they find it difficult to find relationships, because relationships depend on communication and the word "incel" suggests that they're incapable of communicating, because it conveys the wrong thing.

No wonder.
