[QUOTE="GGWP, post: 50860, member: 93"] As someone with a WAIS IQ of 82 I've always been curious as to whether IQ can be used to predict behavior patterns, especially on forums like these. My limited verbal inference underscores a far lower spatial and mathematical intelligence. Don't even get me started on memory and processing speed. I was reading Paul Coojiman's blog recently and he claimed that only people with an IQ of over 100 are able to learn from written materials, and that learning, inference, research and extended prose require an IQ in the 100-130s. So-called 'rational communication', according to him, would require an IQ of 140+ It got me wondering, because there are vast swathes of people that do not interact with the internet in an active, niche-forming way. The types that tend to form communities like this, I would imagine, are predisposed to greater written fluency than the average. If you cannot write or read to a certain quality in these niches, you would probably not derive enjoyment from them.
