Since everyone has explored the SAT/MCAT or ACT/MCAT correlation, how about listing your IQ and MCAT scores. List the type of IQ test if you know.

Cool!

My IQ as of 2002 Weschler Intelligence Scale for Adults: 137

My MCAT as of April 2005: 24R.

That's a sad correlation. 😳

I've heard that the average physicians IQ is in the 120-130 range.
 
2001 Stanford-Binet: 148

MCAT: 22N

I doubt there's a correlation. MCAT results are probably predicted better by, surprise, study habits. I'd also venture to guess that the time between taking the premed courses and the MCAT can have an effect upon one's score.

My iq is off the charts and i havent taken the mcat yet but i know i will get a 45 because its my destiny.
 
To be honest, I find the (lack of trend) displayed in this thread very suprising. I would expect a positive correlation (though maybe not a strong one).
 
I would imagine that verbal is correlated to IQ. The others are correlated to how much you liked and/or studied physics bio and chemistry.
 
IQ 70 (6th grade guidance counselor)
MCAT 35

I think the trend is that most people have IQ that is about two times above MCAT.

Evidently, it's a negative trend. I guess my IQ should be about 30 or so. :meanie:

Anyone who's reading this thread in hopes of getting some serious information: you don't need to have a five zillion IQ to do well on the MCAT. If you want to do well on the MCAT, try this time-tested, old-fashioned method: STUDY. Even for VR, you can improve your score through practice. I'm not going to waste any more time on this thread, amusing as it is. 🙄

Yeah, I was lying. I don't actually know, although they tested me in 2nd grade. On two occasions, my pops told me, but he gave quite different answers each time, so I can't trust either.

mercy, i was really hoping you were asking if he liked fire because your research has shown a correlation between lying and pants being on fire....
come on, it's funny and it's way less harsh than telling someone they are going to hell because they took advantage of pre-med's insecurities...

If you would only be so kind. My soul is headed to a fate worse than hell: an Oprah audience. Don't even ask why.

Actually, recent vatican documents confirm that an Oprah audience is the second circle of hell. This has been reserved for those who have committed sins agains their fellow man and his property.

If I managed an MCAT score far beyond that which would be expected given my IQ, why would I be embarassed? If I were 150/40T, then it's just expected. If I were 98/40T, I'm a golden child.
 
MCAT: 32
IQ: Dont know exactly but I am a self-proclaimed genius.
 
IQ 152 (WAIS-III) - though I was tested by my girlfriend as practice for her clinical psych class!
MCAT 37S
