Re: Poll: IQ
Actually i think the results are quite good. When you discard the 170+ and 90- ones its a pretty nice normal distribution. (I only put those options on it so the morons would all vote for the same so we can discard easily).

Re: Poll: IQ
I have taken a few online IQ tests and have scored from 135 to 143 on them.
I still make terrible decisions playing poker all the time. I would also like to know who these super geniuses are that are 170+.

Re: Poll: IQ
I would bet my life that there is a positive correlation. Perhaps a large scatter, but definitely a positive correlation.

[/ QUOTE ] As a member of Mensa IMHO intelligence and poker skills have zero correllation. I think it is correct to say that first one needs an aptitude for poker. A couple of other skills unrelated to IQ are discipline and patience. Emotional control would be another skill unrelated to intelligence. My favorite example is a recent post by Iceman where he's in the BB and "feels" or "sees" an opportunity to knock UTG off TPTK. There was some criticism about executing the play OOP, but IMHO the example of recognizing the opportunity, then planning and executing, is a measure of knowledge, skill, and ability that are unrelated to IQ.

Re: Poll: IQ
I think a common theme you'll notice on many IQ test questions is the need to pick up on patterns quickly, then exploit the patterns for one's own purposes. I think the ability to do this is directly applicable to NL poker.
There are, of course, traits that poker player must have that are unrelated to IQ, such as discipline, patience, etc. as mentioned above. However, with those being givens, I'd have to believe IQ is strongly correlated to poker-playing ability.
