I predict high average IQ, but low response rate on the IQ question, which will give bad results.

I predict with 70% certainty that we will get an IQ in the range of 140-145 again, though I think it will be a bit lower than last time. I'm very surprised if it's outside 130-150.

(Also took the survey. Would like more "other" options so I can ramble about my totally different opinions on many issues, but whatever.)

Oh wow, is that what the IQ average was last time? Can I update my probability that mine will be higher?

Last survey in 2009:

IQs (warning: self-reported numbers for notoriously hard-to-measure statistic) ranged from 120 to 180. The mean was 145.88, median was 141.50, and SD was 14.02. Quartiles were <133, 133-141.5, 141.5-155, and >155.
