if you dont know what to do whit your score then maybe you dont have the iq you claim to have <img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='  ' /> joke
until my age of 1 year i had blond hair and blue eyes.
then until age 5 i had curly hair and brown eyes.
then my hair go flat.
so i fit in any jew category.

Well I did not say that i did not know what to do with my IQ score, i said I was only puzzled with the wide variation. One of the reasons obviously is that these tests are not standardized and the scores probably very inflated ( and thus make it attractive for the test takers may be) .
That's very true.
Probably a good iq test is the mensa test.
There was a recent article 'India Shining - Bharat Drowning' that compared Orissa and Rajasthan vs the rest of the world
On average, Orissa and Rajasthan score at the level of Iran, Egypt, Mexico
However there is a huge variation,
The 90th percentile for Orissa and Rajasthan , which may be a proxy for North-Indian Brahmin, score at the 75th percentile for white countries ( 110 IQ )

what is IMO ?

International Math Olympiad
Indian performance on the far right IQ tail, +4SD is very good, better than most west europeans and even better than Israel.
i have doubts that Olympics show necessarily the iq.
It shows the memorization capacity ? the ambition to learn ? the specific math skills ? the bell curve of IQ of a country ?

2011 Intel Science Talent of 40 finalists, 9 are Hindus
1 Agarwal ( bania )
1 Arora ( Khatri )
1 Atolia ( what caste ? )
1 Joardar ( bengali Kayastha )
1 Mahajan ( Maharashtrian Brahmin )
1 Mukhopadhyaya ( bengali brahmin )
1 Pai ( Konkan brahmin )
1 Parthasarathy ( Iyengar )

Arora's are not Khatri's but a different jati though similar to the Khatri's.

Perhaps someone like Mudy can clarify the difference
IMHO, Arora is a Khatri sub-caste
2011 Spelling bee finalists - 15 out of 41 are Hindus

IIT Result 2011: 24 of Bihar's Super 30 crack IIT-JEE this year
To get admission into super-30, there is a 3 layers of IQ tests and 1 in 1000 gets admitted
So there is a very severe IQ screening, 1 in 1000 means 3 SD ( 45 IQ ) above mean for OBC
With Indian level malnutrition, OBC IQ in India is 85 and 3 SD above means a filter of 130 IQ ( mensa level )
And 2 years of intensive coaching
-- One of the founders quit and very masochistically started Rahman 30 for muslims
- Dharmically Super 30 is the correct way to give reservations for OBC / SC-ST
http://ibnlive.in.com/news/getting-into-...0-118.html
While last year, an aspirant with a JEE score of 190 was eligible for admission into the IITs under the general category, the cut-off has increased to 229 marks.
For the OBC students, the overall cut-off has increased from 171 to 207 and in the case of SC/ST and physically disabled (PD) students the cut-off has gone up from 95 (same for all) to 119 for SCs, and 115 for STs and PD category aspirants.

In MathCounts, in the top 10, there are only 3 Indian-origins. Rest is filled with Asian kids and one Polish-Jewish kid. Zach Polansky sounds Polish and Jewish, no?

At the extreme right end of the math iq curves, very few Indians can compete against the Hans except for Brahmins and a handful of khatris and jains.
In the url above, all 3 Indians are SIB
In stuff like Spelling bee, many castes, from Vokkaliga upward can outcompete the Han, in math oriented stuff, only a handful of Dwija castes can compete with the Han
In the US math Olympiad team, several Indians have gotten in, but all are Brahmin
