Mistake 1 - I am intelligent = I am awesome.
Mistake 2 - It's useless to talk about a trait that makes you "awesome".
Discussing how to capitalize on a positive trait seems quite useful to me, and the more "awesome" the trait, the more potential mileage of exchanging information on how to exploit it. It's a trait where we have a comparative advantage (and some disadvantages) far out on the tail of the distribution. It's stupid not to discuss it in the rare circumstance where we have a large sample size far out on the tail of the distribution, just where we need the data.
I think discussions of how to capitalize on intelligence might be interesting and worth while. That's got nothing much to do with discussing what the actual statistical distribution of IQ is among the LW population; all that needs saying about that is that it turns out that LW has quite a lot of high-IQ people.
(What would be said in a discussion of how to capitalize on IQ-style intelligence? Non-obvious careers in which such intelligence turns out to be highly advantageous. Typical weaknesses that accompany high IQ, and how to use abilities that correlate ...
The latest survey shows that the average LessWronger who entered his SAT or ACT is roughly in the top 0.11%. This is insanely high. For comparison, top 2% can be Mensa members. I do not know the correlation between SAT/ACT and IQ, but I know it's fairly high. Anyway, I'm very curious to see the average score on a real, culture-fair IQ test. Those are the only two tests that are free, online, correct and culture fair, from what I know.

Many people would prefer not to have people knowing their scores. That's great, but please please please do post it anonymously. Especially if it's a low one, but not if it's low because you rushed the test.
JCTI might take a while, so I recommend keeping your answers on Notepad in case you want to leave it and continue later.
Edit: I have included polls, thanks to the commenters.
