Huh?
I do not believe Dibs' reported IQ. is it in the book itself? wouldn't it be a big reason to doubt all of it, if it was? edit

Jordan Peterson tells us that the top score is now 160.
All other such claims are either lies, exaggerations, or estimations. However, on could ask harder and harder questions, but you wouldn't have a large sampling to judge your estimation of the "difficulty" of the questions or to award more and more IQ points based on it.
1. did the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Test allow for scores of hirer than 160 when he supposedly tested so highly?
2. whatever Dibs' true diagnosis, is it likely that someone like him, with his handicaps and his isolation because of them, would score so highly on every single section of the test?
I've taken the test, Dibs might have the vocabulary of a college professor at age seven, he might be able to do calculus in his head, that's what being gifted, or just plain cursed with a math teach and a English teacher as parents, but there there were several sections of the test, when I took it, and Dib might know the distance from Los Angeles to Tokyo, at age seven, and I don't remember the other sections, who wrote Dead Souls? What does "scapulamancy" mean?
I can't help but suspect that even if it's true about Dibs actually taking the test and scoring very well on half of the sections that "they" decided to not even test him on ones in which he was handicapped by his condition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:701:C002:FD40:CC2D:9187:AEB0:B311 (talk) 00:59, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
