How smart are you?
 
This isin't a contest, I am just curious to see the what kind of intelligence winning poker players have, please post a score and the level you play if you read this.

Any standardized test is fine.

ACT=29 (Math=32)

PS I am aware tests do not exactly equal intelligence but its the best option I can think of

I think you are gonna get skewed responces. People won't lie about their performances, but if they feel their scores ar not suitably above average they might not respond. So those that did quite well are more likely to respond.

But I will answer. I got (I think) 1280 on the GRE (took it 5 years ago), and I play small stakes.

I flunked Spanish twice and could not understand my college math teacher and bombed that too. I was a very good tecmo bowl player though in college; I played about a season a day. I snuck beer into my Into To Psych class....every day. I play 5/10-10/20 six-max and still drink to much.

SAT (6 years ago): 1510 (790 Math, 720 Verbal)
I forget what my GRE scores were. Math was close to perfect. Verbal was not.

But if the midterm I took on Wednesday is any indication, I'm not much smarter than a retarded monkey.

ACT is a college entrance exam taken by high school juniors.

ACT 32 (Math 35, reading comprehention was lowest, I'm a really slow reader)

mostly 20/40. I play higher than most of my friends, but I think most of them are smarter than I am. I think time is also a big factor.

I got a 1600 SAT and the only thing I take from that is I'm good at taking that kind of test.

FWIW I play 1/2NL.

I doubt that standardized test scores have that much relation to poker levels...but my ACT was 33 or 34, forget which and don't remember the breakdown, and I play $22-$33 SnGs

Re: How smart are you?
 
Ooh, a no content brag thread. Fun.

1590 SATs.
800 on the math section of the GREs. 800 on the logic section of the GREs. (Less than 800 on the verbal section, but that was just because I didn't know some of the vocab words since I hadn't studied for the test at all).

The admissions test for my high school (Stuyvestant in NYC) is taken by more than 20k people each year. The year I took it I got the 13th highest score (actually tied for 13th with one other guy).

W00t.

I currenty play 10/20 online and 20/40 or 30/60 live.

Re: How smart are you?
 
Yay bragging!

1520 SAT, 780 math 740 verbal.
34 ACT, I don't remember my 4 individual scores.
-I'm pretty sure once you go to college these things mean nothing and are not true reflections of intelligence, for the record. Intelligence is an abstract, subjective concept that can't be measured versus any standard. While I believe it possible to compare intelligence between individuals, you can't do it using any specific scale.

I play 10/20 6max as a base game, but have begun steadily playing more full recently, from 15/30-30/60 depending on how good any specific game is.

In my defense, I was extremely hungover when I took the SAT. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Thankfully, being from an educational wasteland out in OR, I was still able to go to MIT and become a whizkid [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Still just playing 2/4 LHE though.

I only scored 1390 on my SATs but in my defense I didn't care at all about school back then, spent exactly 0 hours studying for the test and took it after 4 hours of sleep.

I maxed out every section of the ASVAB, including the speed math section, where you have like 1 minute to answer as many simple math questions as you can. It was designed to have more questions than you can answer in 1 minute, but I finished the last one at like 56 seconds. I scored a 161 on the AFAST (a test that the Army uses for flight school selection) after about 1 hour of study and my only aviation experience being about 3 months as a Black Hawk crew chief. To put that in perspective, people have been selected for flight school by scoring as low as 90, my first flight instructor who is very intelligent and who's been flying for 15 years scored in the 140s. There's a guy here who got his degree in aerodynamics and likes to brag about his score of 151.

I've never taken any IQ tests for scores but I did well enough on a Mensa exam to get in. Although I'm sure many people here will say that's nothing spectacular, and they would be right.

Re: How smart are you?
 
ACT=35
--Math=36
--Reading=36
--English=36
--Science Reasoning=33

SAT=1420 (very bad by my standards)
--Math=780
--Verbal=640

GMAT=740

standardized tests are very stupid IMO, but better than other criteria used for college admission
