Default Re: How Many High-IQ Wizards?

How (if at all) do TFT IQ scores translate to real-life (RL) IQ scores? Is each TFT IQ point worth 10 RL IQ points? Is each TFT IQ point worth one standard deviation in RL IQ? Either way, this site may be of some help (though I don't know how authoritative it is).

132 IQ (13 IQ if each TFT IQ point is 10 RL IQ points or 12 IQ if each TFT IQ point is one standard deviation of RL IQ) is 1% of the population. Per the notes at the top, IQ above 20 (if 10 points per) or 16 (if standard deviation) are impossible.

Really, anything above 17 (10 points per) or 14 (standard deviation) should be so vanishingly rare as to be one per generation.

If TFT IQ doesn't correspond to RL IQ, then ... whatever you like.
