How smart were you at age 13?

[FishBurger]

This poll was inspired by this post of David Sklansky's wherein David says:

'At age 13 I believe I was better in math, science, puzzles, coming up with clever shortcuts, and logic, than perhaps half of those who went on to get [Nobel] physics prizes (and most of those who got the economics prize) when they were 13 years old. (At that age I stopped studying).'

I have no idea. Top 10% maybe?

[Tron]

Well I remember scoring better than 99% of my fellow test takers whenever we had standardized state tests... So yeah, there's one vote for Top 1%

I definitely scored in the top 1% (maybe top 2%) on all of my standardized tests, but I used to beat other kids up when I was 13. Where's my option?

Most people I knew got 90%+ on those standardized tests. I got 95-99% too. I don't think that means much. I could be a genius, but I think that is unpossible.

If you got outside 90% you were clearly headed toward Down Syndrome.

This is a worthless post. First of all David's post was worthless because he has no way to know. Second of all you're going to get a lot of BS answers here. Third of all 2+2 tends to have a user base that is not representational of the general population. It's already been discussed that the average 2+2er (and especially the average OOTer) is way smarter than the general population.

I think the OOT posters are the smartes posters on the forum actually.


ANd that's a lesson on how to turn a serious post into a joke.

Thanks for the benchmark. I never knew you had Down's though.
