hmm

still a pretty solid IQ

you should be able to come up with a formula to convert the Naplan marks to IQ, given that you have your naplan marks and your IQ =)
Its impossible to calculate IQ based on simple maths and comprehension exercises like Naplan. It is possible through writing however, if one comes up with appropriate measurements of literary flair and sophistication and grades them in various bands. Im not gonna bother doing that haha.

I also found this cool equation on the internet

<a href="http://www.codecogs.com/eqnedit.php?latex=Sociability\propto \frac{1}{IQ}" target="_blank"><img src="http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?Sociability\propto \frac{1}{IQ}" title="Sociability\propto \frac{1}{IQ}" /></a>

People which such a high IQ like you should have no problem in conducting such an activity

you have to be a little more dedicated than that, considering your atar aim is 99.95

IQ tests are notoriously unreliable, personally I dont rate them as being of much value at all in determining intelligence.

I think the following about determining IQ:
1. how FAST you work with/manipulate information and come up with conclusions
2. how MUCH information your brain can work with
ie
3. How FAST your brain can work with how MUCH information

Yea dats a good definition I think... anyone wanna add?

Basically if you feel yourself being able to do lots of thing super quick and can grasp very complex concepts, you can be fairly certain your IQ is high

There is no good definition for IQ because it's the biggest load of crap, designed for egotistical 'smart' people.

That seems about right actually, cos IQ times social life does, in a way, equal 1. When you thnk about it abstractly....
WTF no it doesn't. And IQ measures 'natural' intelligence a lot more than actual 'studied for' intelligence so there's an even lesser link than the one between ATAR and social life.

Im not egotistical cos ive been beaten in several competitions by people who are smarter than me, I know there's a lot more people on this planet waaay smarter than me, I just like the idea of assigning a number to intellect cos it is somewhat fun I guess. Fun to be able to DEFINE numerically how smart u are. Or someone else. I personally treat the concept of IQ with fascination.

I meant that statement from a viewpoint of monism lol. LIke buddhism or something. The high IQ people are more prone to mental issues than lower IQ people, so the incidence of social isolation is higher in high IQ people apparently. Or so ive read. Meh. Like, you all know of course im not too good socially lol, and my IQ's only 145. Think about the guys with 180! HAHA.
