[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mensa accepts IQs of only the 130s?? I'm shocked because,while it is above average, thatso all that is. Like a typical lawyer.[/quote] 130 is at the second sigma, above average is below that. [/quote] I don't even know what this means. [/quote] Thanks for posting that- I have no idea what PP meant either...[/quote] Not PP. Second sigma refers to two standard deviations, which is way above average. [/quote] Geek here. Assuming that IQ of kids follow a Normal Distribution (bell-shaped and well behaved). Then 2 sigma away from mean, or 2 standard deviation above mean would mean that the kid is at top 2.5 percentile of the IQ distribution.[/quote] So then why does AAP reject kids with 130+? I know no one here is on the selection committee. It's rhetorical and the essence of OP's question, I think. No?[/quote]
