I pretty much use this and whatever regular NS statistics are.

Yay!

Sorry, I was trying to answer another participant's question about where to get the Productivity Score.

Alrighty... 605.85 x 35000 = 21,204,750

21204750 / 404000000 = 0.0525

sqrt 0.0525 = 0.23

0.23 + 125 equals... 125.23...

Honestly, why bother with all of the other calculations since they will combined never be greater than one? Your IQ at this juncture is just that economic score.

[Independence Hill]

Because it would be nice to know we can figure out details of the game that make sense and can change based on our actions and the game's reactions. We just need to make the spread larger.

[Independence Hill]

Try 21204750 / 4040000

Square Root the answer. Add that to your classification score.

[Velarland]

The Official Average IQ Score for the Federal Republic of Velarland is

88.96

a little bit on the lower end but i might try to change that

Intelligence is 29.66
HDI is 59.30

Because it would be nice to know we can figure out details of the game that make sense and can change based on our actions and the game's reactions.

Here's my equation:

[ Population (in millions) / Education Score ] x 100 = YOUR IQ

For me: 34595 / 28711 = 1.205 x 100 = 120.5

Given that IQ is an age-based comparative quantity, this holds more effectively.

Edited: Well. for me at least.

I tried it with yours, and I got 50-ish.

I tried all the methods of calculating IQ and I got 125 on all of them. I think NS should add an average IQ stat into the game.

[Independence Hill]

I might need to practice with your equation because it's a little off. Maybe it's me.

[Ordysius]

Doing the original calculation, I got an average of 151 IQ!?

Take 4 on this equation:

For this I got 83.19...

Is there a stat that's better than Public Education that could be used in determining national IQ? My government isn't a big spender per se.

[Ordysius]

I might have an equation that works for every nation or region of nations universally

It works well, thanks! I got 125.1, which is a reasonable score for a country.

This isn't perfect. I have to refine this a little more, but it does make sense to tie economic classification to scoring because IQ is a decent predictor of success.

Exactly!

[Independence Hill]

(HDI + Intelligence) x Productivity Score = (x)

√(x) / 100 = y

y + Economic Classification Score = IQ.

66.29 + 40.65 = 106.94

106.94 x 20,000 = 2,138,800

√(2,138,800) = 1,462.46367476

1,462.46367476 / 100 = y or 14.6246367476

14.6246367476 + 110 = 124.6246367476

I'm trying to go for an equation that everyone can use to get a realistic IQ score.

You should've used 110 for your economic classification score instead of 125.

With this calculation, I got 171. At least this time it wasn't off the charts.

lol, I thought I fixed it before anyone saw it. Yes, it was a mistake and I did change it to 110.

[Independence Hill]

I think we have a winner... I've tested my equation from a few different angles and it seems to return a realistic result. I hope this helps others in the future.

[Independence Hill]

Another reason why I'm confident: The Just of Tzo is in the top 1% for Intelligence at 713.73. Add that to their HDI it comes out to 74.63. This gives us a grand total of 788.36. Their economy is listed as fair, so we multiply 788.36 by 4000. This gets us 3,153,440. The square root of that number is 1775.7927807. Divide that number by 100 and that gets us 17.757927807. Add that to their economic classification score - 90 - and we get 107.76 rounded up. What's interesting about this result is that this nation scores first place in quips per hour. Their economic classification is a real drag. I feel like this equation really holds water.

[Independence Hill]

I've tested this on several nations since last night. I haven't returned a result less than 60 or greater than 172

No triple posting

[Independence Hill]

Sorry, it just took me a while to get it figured out and I'm excited at the idea that no better equation will come along. I've sent this to NSDossier (BigTex) in the hopes that it is added to the calculator and the equation is added to the formulae. Probably a very fat chance, but we'll see.

[Slavakino]

So, my nations intelligence + HDI. That would be about 228.75, rounded off 229 IQ avg

Fix your OP... folks are still using the old calculation.

[The Soylent Green Party]

Ok I have an easy solution...
HDI + ( Intelligence/7 )
HDI is already a 1-110 stat, it's perfect for representing half of IQ on it's own. If you divide Intelligence by 7 you affectively turn Intelligence into a 1-100 stat. easy peasy no fuss

[Independence Hill]

Thanks, I'll use your equation if or when mine fails.
