Have you noticed that everyone is criticising your threads?

Not everyone.

Very nearly everyone.

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

It would appear that poor Gregory is not a genius, but instead is a nut case.   

Well that's a bad start, isn't it? 100 is the median, not the minimum. The gaussian 2-sigma points are about 30 (politicians) and 140 (people like us, excluding cpu68).

The only one who didn't criticise your idea just called you a comedian.

cpu...you are funny, in a good way.

You seem to have an ability to crack people up...in Giggles!

Good Job & Keep it Up.
lol

And, re.

Anyone can create such a scale.

That's the problem.
Anyone could.
No two scales would be comparable.
So the scales are useless.

What use can you make of your scale where you pretend you have a high IQ?

So is a Picasso or a Brassau painting good?  Beethoven? Cage? Whale song?

Picasso, Beethoven are good, Brassau, Cage, Whale song are not good

I see you are not intelligent enough to appreciate whale song.
Maybe some day...

I estimated my IQ at 160 or 250 points.

Have you confirmed that with a standard IQ test?

No, he made  it up.

I use an imaginary scale and scale.

So "good" means something that you are familiar with, understand, or have been told is good. A few days ago Michael Jordan's used basketball boots sold at auction for more than any Beethoven score. It's unlikely that the purchaser will ever wear them, or perform from the original manuscript, so they are art, not practical tools.  Why are the boots more "good" than the papers?

I estimated my IQ at 160 or 250 points.

I doubt than anyone with an IQ of more than 90 would make an estimate with such a wide error range, particularly as he could measure it to ± 10 points with a single standard test.

Have you confirmed that with a standard IQ test?

In one of the IQ tests, from H. Eysenck's book Test your IQ (Polish edition), I scored 150 points, but I was very close to 160 points. According to the table in the first post from the IQ and chess strength website, I would have a level of 160 points, not taking into account the enlarged braincase. Among other things, based on this table, I was able to achieve an IQ of 180. A test of a certain problem at the level of 180 points, and using an enlarged braincase, showed that in the latter case I obtained a result clearly qualitatively better than 180 points. I rated it at something like 250 (maybe it was around 230). Probably, however, the latter result will not be shown by standard tests.

In one of the IQ tests, from H. Eysenck's book Test your IQ (Polish edition),

There are several tests in the book because any single measurement is likely to be imprecise.
Rather than telling us the result of the one where you fluked a good score, you should tell us the average score you got. (Unless, of course, you are seeking to misrepresent yourself.)

I scored 150 points, but I was very close to 160 points

150 is not actually very close to 160.

According to the table in the first post from the IQ and chess strength website

LOL
I have actually had my IQ checked properly officially over the course of several months by a real psychologist.
It was measured as 178 (They didn't specify an error margin, which is unfortunate).
A while ago a neighbour asked me if I could play chess.
I said yes, but I'm very bad at it.
She said that was great, because she was hoping to learn.
We played.
She beat me 2 1/2 games out of 3.

She's bright- an artist and medical doctor- and her IQ is comparable with mine.
(Medic students do things like measuring IQ as exercises while studying).

So there's strong evidence that IQ does not determine ability to play chess.
So the web page you have cited is laughable.
(It turns out that, while she didn't play chess, she had spent a lot of time playing draughts aka Checkers)

not taking into account the enlarged braincase.

What enlarged braincase?
Do you mean this?

Among other things, based on this table, I was able to achieve an IQ of 180.

No, you were not.

I obtained a result clearly qualitatively better than 180 points.

No
You actually measured it, using a book and got a result less than 160.
Then you made stuff up.

I rated it at something like 250

You made that up

Probably, however, the latter result will not be shown by standard tests.

Your number will not be confirmed by proper testing.
This is because your number is wrong.

Why can't you grasp that?

In one of the IQ tests, from H. Eysenck's book Test your IQ (Polish edition), I scored 150 points, but I was very close to 160 points.

If you think 150 is close to 160, I'd like to do business with you. I don't usually approve of fleecing the innumerate, but some people are just asking for it.

Have you done measurements to confirm that you have an enlarged brain case? How exactly did your bones expand?

[Zer0]

Cpu...i got an IQ score of 10 points.
: )
Any Comments?

Be fair; as far as I can see, he didn't say that.
He did say stuff that's pretty nearly as daft, but he didn't say that.

Take a closer look at Einstein's photo:



Albert Einstein in year 1921. On the photo it is shown "falling" eyebrows, a sign of an enlarged braincase. At me, these changes are less severe.

[Bored chemist]

Do you expect us to believe that your skull is getting bigger, just because you say so?

If that was possible, this wouldn't happen.

And it does.

[Kryptid]

Can I take that as an indication that you didn't actually measure it?

(asking for His response)

He seems to be having Fun with the OP.
I just wanted to join in with him.
Hopefully, He did Not Misunderstand my words.
(daft understand daft)
lol

[cpu68 (OP)]

This comes from observing the mentioned feature, I didn't make any measurements.

[cpu68 (OP)]

...i got an IQ score of 10 points

You definitely have a higher IQ

[Bored chemist]

I didn't make any measurements.

Then you didn't do any science.
To be fair, we guessed.
