The point is quite clear, if you think this is a brag you missed it though. Here it is again, pay attention; if a farmer has their IQ score change 15-20% by harvesting and selling their crop.

How do your online scores contribute to the point?

Their difference is about the same. If you think this is a brag you must have also missed me saying the scores are meaningless in my view. The questions are great fun though.

A better way to get at intelligence metrics would be to test over a number of years in many ways, again for humans.

The accuracy of the tests is known to drop above the ~140 range. Not a fan of IQ, but not convinced this means anything either.

IQ tests measure who had a good day.
