One suggestion: since IQ seems to be a big part in this survey and in LW, why not have an IQ test made for LW?

Making an IQ test is non-trival even before getting into the question of getting a good population to norm it against.

Maybe we should do something simpler, just a number of questions with a time limit and then we can measure how many of those we are able to solve. Similar to:
