Haha thanks everyone. I see that this is a very heated issue for some of us
. I ponder the correlation accuracy mostly because: One of my family members knows her IQ. Out of curiosity, this person utilized multiple SAT to IQ charts, all of which she found via Google. On all of them, the SAT puts the IQ about 10 to 30 points higher than it actually is. I can understand how one could score lower on the SAT than his/her IQ allows, but I do not see how the opposite could occur if the SAT accurately measures IQ. The SAT and IQ scores are, in this case, as much as two IQ standard deviations apart - the correlation is terrible. However, my relation does have ADHD (whatever that may mean - so many people "have" it). Thus, IQ factors typically lower in "ADHD individuals" were lower (surprise!). Additionally, she is allowed 50% more time on the SAT. I suppose that the "ADHD" factor skews the results in this situation. Nevertheless, I do not think that one can accurately convert the SAT scores into IQ scores.
However, I do not know if it is possible to convert accurately SAT RANGES to IQ RANGES.
If anyone knows of a chart that converts SAT RANGES (not scores!!!!! Those are terribly erroneous) into IQ scores, I would be delighted to know.
gratia tibi!
