Mr Beast
IQ: 111 ± 6
🔍 How Did We Calculate This?
Note: We do not know SAT score of MrBeast so We used the average SAT score of Mr Beast's college, which is 1050, as a basis for our estimate.
1️⃣ SAT and IQ Correlation:
The correlation between SAT scores and IQ is well-established and documented in research studies. For more information, you can refer to the paper here.
2️⃣ Calculating IQ:
Using this correlation and the average SAT score of Mr Beast's college, we estimated his IQ to be approximately 111.
3️⃣ Adding a Confidence Interval:
The correlation between SAT scores and IQ is 0.8, meaning that SAT scores explain 80% of the variation in IQ, leaving 20% unexplained. Assuming this unexplained variation is normally distributed, we calculate a 95% confidence interval around our estimate. In a normal distribution, 95% of values lie within 1.96 standard deviations of the mean. Therefore, the 95% confidence interval is 111 ± (1.96 * 3) which approximates to 111 ± 6.
4️⃣ Final Result:
Based on these calculations and the assumption that Mr Beast was an average student at his college, we estimate his IQ to be approximately 111, with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 105 to 117.
