I don't think she is 145. That would be 1 in 468 for a SD of 14. Hsu gave 145 as an example in his post. But I guess it's not too hard to find these people at good universities. You just have to convince them to sell their gametes. That's the hard part.

That was the genius sperm bank, right? I think they had problems because the geniuses were too old. I thought about embryo selection and that stuff just doesn't work (<1 IQ point gain). But gamete selection based on phenotype does. I don't understand why people aren't doing it.

Yeah but I don't know how strong that is just based on genes. The gametes would be implanted. I would prefer very bright kids over my genetic ones. But I am not normal I guess. Augustus wasn't Caesar's biological child (just great-nephew).

Yes, I have a little spreadsheet where you put in the parental scores and it calculates a few things and plots this distribution. I didn't remember you mentioning your IQ score. 145 is exactly 3 SD above the mean. A good guess for very high intelligence.
