5th July 2015 This essay is a hypothysis because I cannot find anything on the internet that backs up what I have to say. This is probably an even better reason for writing up my ideas. In statistics and probability there is a bell curve also known as the Normal
(Gaussian) distribution. I am looking here
at how this curve is used to model IQ. It is standard that an average IQ is 100. This applies to most IQ tests but the standard deviation for different IQ tests are often not the same. Using the wechler IQ intelligence score we have a standard deviation of 15. As an example an IQ of 115 has a positive standard deviation of one because 100 is the mean average:
Students of various subjects have different
average IQ's:
What I am interested in is two standard
deviations. So in the case of IQ's a standard deviation of positive 2 would give an IQ of 130. A standard deviation of negative 2 would give an IQ of 70. It is my belief that 2 deviations are significant because people with a difference of two deviations in an IQ score have no similarities in how they think. So someone
with an average IQ of 100 has no idea how
someone with an IQ of 130 thinks or in the negative direction someone with an IQ of 70 is similarly misunderstood. This is probably why anyone below an IQ of 70 has learning disabilities and anyone with an IQ of 130 is gifted. So taking this idea further it would follow that someone with an IQ of 130 does not understand how someone with an IQ of 160 thinks and similarly someone with the positive six standard deviations IQ of 190 is misunderstood by people with 160 IQ. So how can we understand when:
Stephen Hawking the English theoretical
physicist and cosmologist with an IQ of 160 writes his academic papers on black holes.
Andrew Wiles the English mathematician
with an IQ of 170 proves Fermat's Last Theorem.
The American Chris Langan with an IQ of
200 says that he can prove god exists with logic.
The Russian mathematician Grigori Perelman who solved the Poincare conjecture and who has an unknown high IQ claims he can control Universe.
