In my kink survey (n=500,000), I asked people if they'd taken an official IQ test. If they said yes, then I asked them what their score was. It looks like average answers group more closely by birth sex, not gender: Cis males: 128 Cis females: 126 Transwomen: 129 Transmen: 126

118

(obviously the average answer is nearly 2std higher than average; my guess is ppl are disproportionately likely to be given IQ tests if they seem smart to begin with, and also much more likely to report their results if the answer is high)

155

Assuming the sample is representative of the population at large, do we think over 10% have had an official IQ test? Anecdata from me, but that seems unreasonably high based on relative scarcity of psych testing resources (at least in the US)

Many more people have taken the SAT, which correlates well with IQ, so would be worth asking for for a larger dataset on intelligence.
