If you're in the median age band for Less Wrong, you misread the estimator. The "SAT to IQ" table is for the pre-1995 SAT, which had much more rarefied heights. The "SAT I to IQ" table is for the 1995-2005 SAT.

(I did the same thing.)

You are quite right. My scores correlate much better now; I retract my confusion.
