They're different tests testing different things, but there's actually a pretty strong correlation.>SAT tests are basically IQ tests
>graduating college means you're over 100
Some LessWrong autist said:A search of ‘SAT to IQ’ on google results in being presented with the website ‘iqcomparisonsite.com’. This man has directly converted the SAT percentiles to IQ scores, which is not what should be done. Tests like the ACT and SAT correlate with IQ at about 0.8-0.85 [rca], [my analysis], [emil article], [scholarly article].
I usually wouldn't cite a LessWrong type autist but they're pretty obsessed with IQ autism so I'd tend to give it some credence (although I wouldn't necessarily endorse the specific number).
The overwhelming majority of universities still use SAT scores. I'm not aware of any using IQ tests, if that's what you mean though. IQ tests also have a strong statistical correlation with future academic success and future financial success. You still have high IQ retards who flame out spectacularly and people with well lower than average measured IQs who go on to have great success.This is slightly off topic so I'll keep it short. Its not a perfect estimator but there is a reason that Universities stopped using test scores in admissions.
I'd estimate Russhole at about 80 or lower, but his absolute inability to learn things makes him functionally retarded.
