Our average IQ is, surprisingly, only 125. It is caused by huge amount of slaves, who are mostly stupid. But rest of our population, genetically enhanced, are extremely intelligent. About average IQ 360. But our emperor Rhenion Imperios IV has IQ of 1450.

By using the IWS (infinite wank system) IQ scale our IQ averages 9001. Using a normal scale it of course averages 100.

About 117... which, if it pleases folks who would say 'whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?' and accuse of us of inflating our numbers, we would like to explain by noting that approximately 90% of our population is of alien origin - from a culture that put very heavy emphasis on education and mental skills. We think they ended up on Earth because of an accident involving FTL tests, or matter teleportation, or stable wormhole generation, or something. So yeah. Smart aliens. Higher IQ. Meh.

Among humans, its about 102, though... lots of researchers and profs here, ya see?

You can be taught to properly identify patterns and train for tests, after all that is exactly what American schools do.

If anything, education has the largest part to do with it, and genetics the least.

100, of course, because the average IQ is 100. Setting it higher or lower just makes things more confusing.

Genetics has almost nothing, but education (unless you teach them how to score high on IQ tests, which is retarded) has nothing at all to do with it. It is generally the standard of living and quality of life. If you are a starving child from Somalia with no parents, and a diet made entirely of bread than your IQ will almost certainly be lower than a child from a middle class family in America or the UK.

IQ is(should at least be) a test on ability, not education.

Yannia's average IQ is, by definition, 100.

Most Yannians are aware that IQ tests just measure the aptitude to score good at IQ tests, and don't attach much value to IQ test results.
Yannia's nation page contains an error. The population should be in millions, not in billions.

The Icarian Minister of Education says I.Q. tests are unreliable when you have a variety of cultures. If the test results are based on a bell curve with 100 being assigned to the highest point, then every nation would have 100 average I.Q.

If you decide to give the same test to several countries at once, then it would be unreliable as questions are not geared to each culture and a generic test is not really generic.

http://www.iqtest.com/whatisaniqscore.html

Of course, our minister may not know what she is talking about as we seem to have a score of 250 on average.

Actually, we have been too busy keeping our monkeys happy and making cookies that we have not taken an I.Q. account of our country. It must be very very high because chocolate raises an I.Q. aka http://ezinearticles.com/?Eat-Chocolate-For-a-Higher-IQ&id=4388294.

We will claim an average I.Q. to be 1,000,000 here.

On the "We're Smarter Than You" scale, our average IQ is precisely 1 point higher than anybody else.

Using the standard Fowlkes-Midian Test1, it is 107

Notes:
1 - The Fowlkes-Midian IQ scale and test is a standardized test given to all 4th form students prior to graduation. The scale ranges from 0 (sub-vegetative state) to 214 (absolute frelling genius, or quite adept at cheating on exams. Could be both.)

Since tests are standardized so average = 100...100.

On an Earthian IQ test that's standardized to the average of humans, about 450.

Putting in RAM and CPU upgrades is one of our national hobbies, after all.

OOC: I think it'd be silly to have Decepticons with humanlike IQ levels. Logically, they'd easily be able to add more CPU and RAM, which is the robotic equivalent of brainpower. It also logically follows that they would do just that if they found it to be a strategic advantage - and they would find that to be the case as soon as they encountered an enemy of a fairly equal physical strength. It stands to reason that they would, over time, cram as many RAM and CPU chips into their bodies as is physically possible as they attempt to maintain their advantage or surpass someone else's. Upgrades in chip technology would further increase the amount of possible processing power. If Decepticons were real, they would probably consider someone with a 450 score on the Stanford-Binet to be hopelessly dim.

My inability to actually RP an IQ of 450+ is a source of irritation to me, but story-wise, it just doesn't make sense to have it be lower.

On another note, your assertion that geniuses wouldn't be on this forum doesn't ring true. Intelligence and motivation are two entirely different qualities. One can exist without the other.
