I consider giqtest.com also professional/scientific, despite being taken online.

(I understand the general aversion towards online tests, and don't mind the current wording.)

Respondents with high IQ seem more likely to have taken official tests, though; doesn't this overestimate LW's mean?

Any self-report will overestimate LW's mean, even if there is no disproportionality among test-takers. I've taken this into account with various assumed population means in the analysis of previous surveys, but there's fudging involved (if the average IQ of responders is 130, is it really sensible to expect non-responders have an average IQ of 100?).

I thought it went quite well. It was cool to see everyone show up; 7 people is not bad for so small a country. Please do come next time, the more the merrier!

It was a nice meeting. 7 People showed up and we just started talking about several diferent things. Very casual and we talked about lots of different topics. We are going to have another meetup in December. In Utrecht. Place, time and date are to be decided.

Another lurker that took the (full) survey and signed up...

I discovered LW last year through gwern.net

My biggest barrier to registration was the risk of more procrastination. So, thanks in advance for any encouragement!
