YOUR IQ compared to" World Chess Champion" Garry Kasparov ..
Sort:
[COMMENT DELETED]
Another article which helps promote the myth that strong chessplayers are somehow smarter than weaker chessplayers and that is the source of their strength. As an aside, there is no secret to improving at chess, whether you are smart of not. 1) Study the games of the world's best players, 2) play against strong competition and 3) have a strong player help you analyse your own games. These are the 3 keys, not IQ.
8/10, it was fun but this is not a true indication of your intelligent quotient. I had taken an official IQ test (one who's results are recognized my Mensa) as a child and it took more then a 1 day to complete.
Further, IQ is over rated. Often individuals who score highly on IQ tests score poorly on EQ (emotional quotient) testing.

I've yet to meet a strong Chess player who was an idiot but I have known some very intelligent people who failed to grasp Chess.
Spot on!

Did the test ask if you can use "whose" and "who's" correctly?

Dear me, I made the comment weeks ago, btick.
Better late than never I guess.
This thread started in 2011...some 300 weeks ago. I wouldn't call my post "late". It's the first time I saw your post, and it's just as misguided now as when you made it . Now, if I had responded to the OP that is long gone, that would be late.
You really have me worried. People who one does not like are very useful, as they will tell the truth where others only flatter.
But, I thought that particular post was reasonably true and sensible, and even mildly interesting and uncontroversial.
It will keep me awake tonight.
Anyway, thank you. Life goes on.

Thank goodness it did not! 
I notice that and another typo in my post, but I couldn't find how to edit it from the iPhone application.

John Ludvig Hammer is a GM, but he's as dumb as a box of rocks, IMHO. At the highest levels, memory is more important than IQ.

I’m 137 via a core evaluation test and I am horrible , but love, chess. IQ doesn’t correlate with much when you get into it. Some guy had a IQ of almost 200. Dudes a janitor.
I have an IQ, measured by the Mensa organization, of 154. But the IQ test doesn't heavily measure pattern recognition or certain kinds of memory and speed of recall.
If you give me lots of time - like daily/correspondence chess, where I have a 2116 USCF Correspondence Rating from the pre-strong-home-computer 1970's, then I play well.
If you give me 2 1/2 hrs/game - as in my U.S. Open OTB games, then I play well.
But give me less than hour on the clock and I struggle. My main goal now is to improve on pattern recognition and the self discipline to pay more attention to hanging pieces and X-ray Attacks, two tactics that chesstempo's database says I miss a lot in Tactics Problems.
i got 9/10 :\
Shame i don't know cities..
One could argue that Bombay is the odd man out since it is the only city that has changed its name.
I know this is old, but I answered the capital/hemisphere question in both ways so I would've gotten 9/11 but that isn't a possible score so 8/10 will do. My IQ may be higher than Garry Kasparov based on this test, but he is an amazing chess player with years of practice and experience so I would come nowhere close to beating him in a game.
I scored a 106 on this particular test in which Kasporov got a 135. ---Nathan Larkin Coppedge
